Chablé Yucatan

The hotel is amazing. A mixture between past and modernity, made with a lot of taste. The villas are beautifully furnished and we enjoyed ours very much. It has a nice pool, which is welcomed as it can be very hot. The hotel offers a lot of activity, the food is excellent and the chef is growing part of its vegetable on the premise. The staff was lovely and very helpful.

“From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with exceptional service. The grounds are stunning, and our room was spotless, with the most comfortable bed. The staff went above and beyond to meet all our needs. The restaurant offered delicious and unique local cuisine, and the spa was a serene retreat with excellent service. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a memorable stay!”

We come for 3 years in a row to the new years celebration The spiritual energy from the trees and plants is unique When you add the magic of the yucatan jungle with the 5 star service of chable you end up with a spectacular and unique experience second to one in the world

Peace, calm, tranquility and comfort reign at this beautiful hacienda in the Yucatan forest. From the perfectly-formed and supremely comfortable casita (each with a private pool) we explored the large property, various intimate bars, wide, shady porches, lovely pool area and various dining options on vintage bicycles, which magically appeared in front of our casita. Service is professional, yet friendly and extremely accommodating; the grounds are beautiful; the food and drink are very good. Highly recommended. A couple of things to note: - This resort is the antithesis of the Riviera Maya experience. Refined calm and quiet - Somewhat remote location, if you want to leave the property, you will need a car - Half an hour from Merida. About 2 hours from Chichen Itza

Chablé Yucatán is set in a remote, lush paradise. The design is stunning—architecturally striking buildings nestled in beautifully maintained grounds, where nature is allowed to flourish. It truly feels like a slice of heaven. We especially loved the vibrant wildlife—particularly the exuberant birds that provided a daily soundtrack around the main pool. However, a few things held the experience back from being exceptional: 1. Service: While warm and well-intentioned, service was inconsistent. Communication was often a challenge, as many staff members had limited English, and simple requests—like a coffee—took upwards of 15 minutes. At this level, you’d expect more seamless delivery. 2. Food: Disappointingly, we didn’t have a single memorable meal in our four-day stay. Juices felt watered down, the local oat milk had a syrupy texture, and overall, the food lacked flavor and finesse. Given that prices matched those of top-tier New York hotels, the quality simply didn’t justify the cost. 3. Pricing: Beyond food, the pricing throughout the resort felt disproportionate. A standard massage at the spa was priced at $200, and some experiences bordered on excessive—for example, $420 for a 90-minute stargazing/spiritual therapy session. 4. Villa Pools: Each villa features a private pool, but the layout is puzzling. A shallow area just a few inches deep cuts into the swimming space, making it impractical for laps or a proper swim. The design prioritizes aesthetics over usability. Overall a beautiful property that is too flawed for a return trip.

Chablé is located on a former hacienda that has been beautifully renovated. All rooms consist of spacious and private Casitas. The domain itself is beautiful and is very well maintained. They have two restaurants including one Ixi’im operated by chef a Jorge Vallejo who’s been awarded a Michelin star. The restaurant has an impressive collection of Tequila bottles one of the largest in the world. Another restaurant is located on the property which is decent but has less panache. There’s little to fault at Chablé Yucatán there’s attention to detail in every aspect of your stay. The Spa is beautiful and spacious. The massage I had at the spa was one of the best I have ever received. One thing though is that it has limited hydrotherapy facilities with one dry sauna and a few jacuzzi. I didn’t see a steam room although I might have missed it. One peculiar thing is that access to the hydrotherapy area is through the women’s changing room; a spa butler accompanies you and probably made sure that it was empty prior to access but it felt a little weird. Note that you’re surrounded by nature and although we didn’t encounter animal exotic wildlife, birds are very lively including at night so light sleepers beware and bring some earplugs. There are a few mosquitos but surprisingly very few of them given that you’re actually in the jungle. There’s plenty of bars with fantastic cocktails including one that we didn’t try that offer fine spirits and cigars. The service was impeccable and the concierge service goes above and beyond to provide assistance and guidance. One thing that did bother me was the pool in our casita was always filled with leaves and particles were gathering at the bottom, they cleaned it with every room service but I think a more powerful filtration system or automated vacuum could be a good addition.
