We spent 2 nights at the Blue Ecolodge and these nights were exceptional. First of all, Ahidel and Harry are very special persons. They are so warm, welcoming and generous, they make you feel like family. They also helped us for planning activities such as a tour at Chichen Itza, a city tour of Valladolid and lots of recommendations around the Yucatan peninsula. The rooms were amazing, super clean, comfortable beds, air conditioning, hot water…all the necessary for comfortable stay. The included breakfast was generous and of high quality. We also had, with extra fees, great holiday dinners and a delicious New Year brunch. The little town where the lodge is situated seemed safe, we went for a morning walk and saw a beautiful old church. It is really close to Valladolid and a good central point for a lot of other activities, like ruins, cenotes and cultural discoveries. Unfortunately, our stay at the Blue was too short and we were really sad to leave this place. We have met wonderful people there and we really had a good time. Thanks again for those beautiful moments, and hope we’ll have an opportunity to go back and spend more time at the Blue Ecolodge. Mélissa, Benjamin and family

What can we say? Everything was great. The lodge is beautiful, secluded, peaceful, clean, super comfortable and very stylish. Ahidel and Harry are lovely hosts. We could have spent more time there as we really felt at home. They made us delicious breakfast and gave us tips of places to visit and eat. 10 min drive from Valladolid center and another 20 min from pyramids and cenotes. Really recommend this place and if we are back in Cancún we definitely will come back and enjoy some days there. Thank you guys.

The Blue Eco Lodge exceeded all my expectations! The lodge is run by a wonderful couple (Harry and Aihdel) who bring warmth and charm to every aspect of the experience. The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean, and beautifully decorated. The location is perfect for exploring nearby cenotes, and the hosts provided excellent recommendations for activities. One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfasts that Harry personally prepared each morning. The meals were fresh, flavorful, and made with love—a truly special start to the day! The tranquil gardens and serene ambiance make it a perfect retreat for anyone seeking relaxation or adventure.

Honestly, everything was superb! If I had to nitpick, I’d say I wished I could have stayed longer to enjoy more of what this incredible lodge has to offer.

The location was really nice, just outside of Valladolid in a very quiet off the beaten path neighborhood where we could hear birds, geckos, and frogs! The hosts, Harry and Ahidel, provided us with great ideas and suggestions, not only before we arrived, but even after we left their lovely home. The staff was so sweet and kind- Virgilia’s breakfasts of Mayan cuisine was outstanding, and Harry makes a fabulous breakfast as well. I really enjoyed learning a bit about Oaxacan cuisine in my conversation (show and tell) with Ahidel. The beds are super comfortable and the rooms are immaculate! They are truly charming hosts and clearly know how their craft.

One of the best planned and maintained small hotels we have stayed in 10 years traveling in Central America. Everything is top notch clean and the pool is one of the few pools I actually wanted to swim in. Very good security, wifi, hot water and A/C. Excellent breakfast to start your day. The hotel is the only one in the small Mayan village approx 5 km from the center of Valladolid so is very quiet with lots of birds to wake up to. There are many things to do in Valladolid like the cenote in the center, the largest private art collection in Mexico just off central square and a large 16th century convent with an evening light show cast on its walls. Lots of different restaurants from local to higher end and the central square is always active. Harry and Ahidel are excellent hosts and Bruce the dog is a happy character.

It's a good idea to have a car as are no taxi stands or collectivos, restaurants or food available beyond the hotel breakfast in the village of Yalcon so must depend on taxis which are not necessarily easy to get out there (approx 120-150 pesos each way) or the goodness of other guests to get into town for food and attractions

This place is very unique. First of all because of the wonderful hosts then because of the beautiful setting and ambience. The close to town location (only 10 - 15 min drive - you need a car or you can take a taxi) and other attractions (of which are there many) makes it an excellent base for exploring the area. I was very impressed by the hospitality of the owners, Ahidel and Harry. The lodge is modern, the rooms are comfortable and clean, the garden well kept (you will love the songbirds and other creatures living in it), the breakfast tasty, the pool refreshing... It's no problem if you speak only English because Harry's roots are in England and his knowledge of Mexico is immense. He gave us so many important information, hints, advises and recommendations so we could correct our itinerary - and for that I am very grateful. We even came back to the Blu despite we haven't planned that before. And when we were leaving we felt like we're leaving our true friends. Ahidel and Harry, we thank you for everything once again!

The place is gorgeous - surrounded by nature, it's quiet and peaceful. The room is spacious, clean and smells great. Shower pressure is VERY good. Beds and pillows are very comfortable. There's everything you might need: a water fountain in the corridor, coffee/tea in the room, chairs so you can sit and relax. Breakfast is awesome. The hosts are amazing (Harry is a gem!) Thanks again for hosting us!

It's not something I didn't like because I knew it but it's worth saying that you'll need a car to do anything (nowhere to eat around the place for example). A cab will take you to Valladoid for 130 pesos.

Small, modern, boutique hotel located in the jungle close to Valladolid, run by Harry and his wife Ahidel. The rooms are spacious, well-equipped, and very clean. There is a pool, bar, hammocks, and much space to relax, including a nice lounge for common use. You can safely park the car close to your room. Surroundings are very calm and quiet, intermittent only by the sounds of nature (birds, rooster, and lovely dog - Bruce). The place is unique, mainly due to its owners, who are the best hosts I ever met. Harry is amazing. He is taking great care of his guests, sharing many tips about what to see and where to eat, and stories of his life. Chatting with him was a pure pleasure. Breakfasts served by Harry every morning were incredible. I sincerely recommend this place. If you like nature, good people, and great food you must go there.

I loved this place so much we stayed two different times! This was a great stay on so many levels. The rooms were fantastic, super comfortable, and the bathroom even had great water pressure! The gardens were so beautiful! We didn't spend much time at the pool or bar but that seemed like a great place to hang out after a day of being out and about. Harry and Ahidel really went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Next time I'm in Valladolid I won't even shop around for lodging, this is the place!

This was a fantastic stay! The only suggestion I would have is to have a water cooler available for filling up water bottles (instead of one time use plastic bottles).

-The hosts, Harry and Ahidel are very nice, good communicators and have lots of helpful tips. You can feel that they love what they do and want you to feel at home. -The breakfast is fresh, tasty and plentiful. -You can book dinner in advance. The hosts are fantastic cooks. -The room was large and really clean. The bed was super comfortable. -The location is quiet and close to Valladolid. -The pool and garden are well maintained. Good to relax after a long day of visits -Good value for money
