Known forruinsMayaoutdoorhotel zone
A genuine Maya archaeological site embedded within the hotel zone, featuring temple ruins, platforms, and a large resident iguana population that has become a beloved local attraction. The site dates to the post-Classic period and is managed by INAH with informative signage. It is walkable from several hotels and offers a surprisingly authentic archaeological experience steps from the beach. Early morning visits are cooler and less crowded.
