Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Macan Ché

Each artsy bungalow here has its own themed decor: the Asian room has a Chinese checkers board and origami decorations, while the Safari room has artifacts from Mexico and Africa. Some have skylights or hammock chairs on a front porch; all have screened windows and are surrounded by exuberant gardens with bamboo, birds of paradise, and bougainvillea. As a result, the gated property feels like a hidden village, with bungalows spread throughout. The "hacienda building" at the back of the grounds has five rooms that can also be rented by the month. There is a cenote-like pool and a palapa restaurant offering salads and other health-conscious fare.
