Fodor's Review:

Located on Cancún's highest point (the name Yamil Lu'um means "hilly land"), this archaeological site stands on the grounds of the Park Royal Cancún, which means that nonguests can only access the ruins from the beachside. Although it comprises two structures -- one probably a temple, the other probably a lighthouse -- this is the smallest of Cancún's ruins. Discovered in 1842 by John Lloyd Stephens, the ruins date from the late 13th or early 14th century.
