This captivating eco-retreat built within the ruins of a remote Mayan city is surrounded by a 30,000-acre private nature reserve teeming with exotic birds, monkeys and other wildlife. The 12 thatched-roof cabanas come with overhead fans and wraparound wooden verandas. There is also a two-bedroom cottage with a private hot tub. Lodgings have generators for fans, lights and water heaters but lack in-room phones and A/C. Wi-Fi is available only in the open-air clubhouse dining room, the bar and the reception areas. The resort also encompasses a screened-in pool and Jacuzzi. Activities include horseback riding, vehicle birding tours, canoeing, naturalist-led walks to Mayan ruins, fly-fishing and safari-style night drives. This lodge will chiefly appeal to those with a deep interest in the natural world.
