Palenque is one of the most impressive Mayan archaeological sites in Mexico, it encompasses all types of travelers. The offer of hotels in Palenque is very wide. Where should I stay in Palenque?
On the occasions that I have visited Palenque I have stayed in different hotels and areas, each one has its characteristics, I like to try, what I am going to do to him. I detail the place for you to choose which would be your area and ideal hotel in Palenque.
Palenque and surroundings:
La archaeological zone of Palenque is located at 5 kilometers away from town of Palenque. In the town there is a varied offer of lodgings, which extend along the road that leads to the archaeological zone. Before the entrance to the Palenque natural park, there is a very popular lodging area known as the Panchán.
The hotels on the road are usually in gardens and spacious facilities, where you are more in touch with nature. Let's see the characteristics of each area so that you can choose better.
Areas to sleep in Palenque:
- PALENQUE PEOPLE: Although the town is not a very nice place to say, you have the convenience of having different tourist services. Those who like local environments, walk through the park and go out to dinner makes you the evening. There are many bars in the main street of Palenque, I do not recommend visiting them, to avoid possible messes.
- HOTELS ON THE ROAD TO THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL AREA: this type of hotels are usually hotel models that offer all the services, so the traveler does not need to leave and he stays resting in the facilities. Many groups of tourists in circuit stay in these hotels, very comfortable and beautiful. Those who travel by car can also be comfortable.
- PANCAN ZONE: One of the most popular areas among travelers and backpackers is known as the Panchán, where several hotels and hostels are grouped near the entrance to the Palenque National Park. In Panchán there is a relaxed atmosphere, where travelers who want to share find it easy to get together with others. There are several agencies so that you do not have to go to the town to hire excursions, the Panchán offers all the services.

Our criteria to recommend accommodation
The accommodations are divided according to budget:
- Economic budget: from 100 to 600 Mexican pesos (mxn).
- Average budget: from 600 to 2,000 mxn.
- High budget: 2,000 mxn onwards.
Si reservations through the blog it is not more expensive, you benefit equally from the offers, and it is a way of support my work when receiving a commission with your reservation. All accommodations have their direct booking link.
The hotels that I recommend neither invite me nor pay me to be on this list. I always choose my accommodations according to my criteria, I think it is the most correct way to be able to talk freely about the places and not to advertise for the fact that they pay you or invite you to sleep.
We also think of families, many of you travel with children. Hotels usually have parking for their customers, so you will not have any problems parking.
