Dear Visitor:
We love to travel
Green
and Yucatan, Mexico, has gained our respect as the "Best Vacation Choice"
we have made in the last few years. The Peninsula
offers so much eco-activities and cultural experiences, fabulous
sites to explore, great food, majestic
Mayan archaeological sites to discover,
serene Colonial cities to stroll, fabulous art-crafts,
birding,
friendly people; plus, great
beaches to relax and enjoy. Therefore, we have selected the
best
Green travel places, top Yucatan Haciendas,
Eco-Spa Wellness
Destinations, and Boutique Hotels to bring you a small
but truly valuable collection of our favorite places to stay and
visit while in the Yucatan, Mexico.
Each property
recommended is known for its true charming ambiance, gourmet healthy
cuisine,
excellent friendly service, unique home-style accommodations, and fabulous location; plus, we offer you a 10%
discount from the total reservation charges that these excellent
hotels give their direct clients! Chichen Itza day-trip tours and
other short visits and travel tours that give you enough time to
take a snap-photo shot, are not our recommendation or way of
traveling; so we do not offer such tours to you; instead, we
recommend you take the time to enjoy each place you stay and explore
the areas around it, this way you will truly feel and experience
what Yucatan offers to its visitors. So pack light, get ready
for a great Yucatan Eco-travel experience with us, your

unique Spa we found:
CHICHEN ITZA, YUCATAN, MEXICO: NEW
7th WONDER OF THE WORLD
has our "MUST RESERVE" hotel accommodations and green
travel recommendations:
Hacienda Chichen Resort
tops the above qualities with a truly
exceptional dedication and passion to Sustainable Tourism; this
jewel "Green Hotel" is actively committed to its social responsible
vision helping Maya towns near Chichen Itza.
Eco-friendly practices in Yucatan are starting
to become in vogue for hotels to market themselves in Yucatan. We
have found that political connections can help a hotel "gain a
certification" without truly following
the "Green Hotel" standards and policies; to our surprise, Hacienda
Chichen Resort is not endorse by any such "certifications and yet it
is actively dedicated in such committed manner to the environment
and social welfare that if has gained our respect and admiration.
We highly recommend you to stay in this Maya Jungle Romantic Retreat
and make a point to experience Yaxkin Spa's Mayan holistic healing
rituals;
Yaxkin Spa
is the best Spa experiences we have ever had !

Yaxkin
Spa is
the best Mayan Spa in Yucatan
and even the Riviera Maya does not have what Yaxkin Spa has to offer. So, this is the place
to be, if you are a Green Spa Lover or just a person interested in
experiencing authentic Mayan Eco-Spa healing rituals. We were highly
impressed with Yaxkin Spa's holistic energy renewal ceremony "Zumbul-che," a highly mystical purification ritual within a natural Mayan
Cave at their Mayan Ceremonial Sacred Garden.
Our favorite Mayan
Spa rituals are:
Kukulkan,
Ya'ax-tun a Mayan Jade Algae Skin Care Wrap,
Ya-Ha perfect for couples,
Kakaw: chocolate bliss, &
Sasil-tun hot Mayan stones massage; also,
they offer a Bridal Spa pampering day "Ixchel" worth booking if you
plan to have your dream
wedding destination in Chichen Itza,
Yucatan, Mexico; we recommend Hacienda Chichen Resort
Remember that
Travel Yucatan Today offers you prepaid booking savings! So
reserve here your Yucatan
hotels, Maya Eco-Spa treatments, and Yucatan Boutique Hacienda
accommodations!
MERIDA,
YUCATA, MEXICO has two "we like to stay here" hotel recommendations:
Casa
San Angel
is a small boutique hotel with plenty of style
and charm, decorated with such detailed and taste we enjoy it better
than the most expensive hotel choices in Merida. The owner is
an experience baker so we highly recommend you not only stay here,
but take time to taste her bake-goods.
With only fifteen
rooms, and no pool area, this lovely hotel does give its guests a
sense of staying at a lovely Mexican home rather than a hotel; and
we loved it !
Casa
del Balam
Another choice when staying in Merida. This charming boutique hotel
is older and shows well its age; plus, it does have a large pool and
garden. Decorated like a Colonial home, this hotel offers the
luxury of staying in Merida's historic downtown, while sleeping in
peace due to its sound-proof windows!
Its patio restaurant offers breakfast and dinner only; no problem,
since the bar has service all day long and offers gourmet sandwiches
for lunch. However, if you go to Merida, make sure you have
lunch and dinner in one of the many great restaurants the city has
to offer! We love to dine in "Casa de Frida" or "Nectar."
COMING SOON: More
recommendations, we will soon have our Green Yucatan Travel Choices for
the Yucatan Riviera Maya tourist villages of Playa del Carmen,
Cozumel, Holbox, and Akumal.
