I was looking for a place to spend the night and because I wasn't going to spend any time at the hotel, was looking for a quiet place with few amenities and at a reasonable price. Dolores Alba was exactly that. It fit my requirements exactly. The price was excellent for the area and the reception was very friendly. the... More

It is cheap and the people from the hotel were helpful and nice. All the rest is not so exceptional, the swimming pools looks better on the pictures, the hotel is on the road and there is bus and cars all day and all nights (highway between cancun and merida almost) - The food was poor and there were a...

Pluses to this hotel are the free shuttle to the ruins in the morning and a full breakfast (not just coffee and bread) included in the tariff. The two swimming pools were great for cooling off after a hot day, and we appreciated being out among the trees and birds. On the down side, there is some highway noise, though... More

This is not the most modern of hotels but it's very convenient for visiting CHichen Itza early in the days before the hordes. The rooms are comfortable and clean . The 2 swimming pools are great for cooling off. The gardens are pretty and there are lots of birds around. We found the staff very helpful and the meals reasonably... More

The rooms are clean, old and worn and the safe sometimes didn't work. The door to the room was a simple button lock and the A/C worked fine. We always had to search for staff, who were very willing once found, to meet our needs, but you really have to have some Spanish, they don't know much English. We came... More

Hotel Dolores Alba was my favorite hotel during my trip to Mexico because it was the most authentic and relaxing. It is located just outside of the Chichen Itza archaological site off of 180 (free road). The setting is absolutely lovely: colorful flowers, dense trees, birds chirping, and hammocks by the pool. It was so peaceful, welcoming and simple, which... More

Just come back from Mexico and stayed here for 2 nights in Dec 2011. I stayed here 8 years ago - was it really this bad then? The rooms smelt musty but a plus was the piping hot water which was great. The breakfast was the worst we had in Mexico, barely edible and dreadful coffee. The pool and surroundings... More

We loved the local charm of this hotel, with its pool echoing the natural caves down the road and 'palapas' in the dining area. The rooms were no great shakes, kind of basic, but overall it was a comfortable and pleasant experience. I was traveling with a group of 18 (high school students, teachers from the U.S. and our Maya... More

The room was clean, but the bathroom was small and the bed uncomfortable. Busy, noisy main road which made for poor sleep. Average service, very expensive, average food. Good location for the eastern entrance to chichen itza, but otherwise I would not recommend this motel, even if you are just looking for a cheap night in the area. More
