Chablé Yucatan

Chablé Yucatán is set in a remote, lush paradise. The design is stunning—architecturally striking buildings nestled in beautifully maintained grounds, where nature is allowed to flourish. It truly feels like a slice of heaven. We especially loved the vibrant wildlife—particularly the exuberant birds that provided a daily soundtrack around the main pool. However, a few things held the experience back from being exceptional: 1. Service: While warm and well-intentioned, service was inconsistent. Communication was often a challenge, as many staff members had limited English, and simple requests—like a coffee—took upwards of 15 minutes. At this level, you’d expect more seamless delivery. 2. Food: Disappointingly, we didn’t have a single memorable meal in our four-day stay. Juices felt watered down, the local oat milk had a syrupy texture, and overall, the food lacked flavor and finesse. Given that prices matched those of top-tier New York hotels, the quality simply didn’t justify the cost. 3. Pricing: Beyond food, the pricing throughout the resort felt disproportionate. A standard massage at the spa was priced at $200, and some experiences bordered on excessive—for example, $420 for a 90-minute stargazing/spiritual therapy session. 4. Villa Pools: Each villa features a private pool, but the layout is puzzling. A shallow area just a few inches deep cuts into the swimming space, making it impractical for laps or a proper swim. The design prioritizes aesthetics over usability. Overall a beautiful property that is too flawed for a return trip.

Sentirte un hacendado yucateco del siglo 19 Es una hacienda impresionante, donde las habitaciones están distribuidas en toda la propiedad en medio de la selva yucateca, el Hotel te da una bicicleta para trasladarte de un punto a otro. Los precios de los servicios del Spa son altos pero valen la pena, recomiendo ingresar al hotel en horas de la mañana reservando con anticipación el uso del Spa combinado con algún masaje para aprovechar la estadía para luego ir a almorzar y estar listo para el ingreso a las habitaciones que es hasta las 15:00 horas y así tener toda la tarde y medio día del Día siguiente para realmente disfrutar la estadía y las comodidades que tiene la propiedad .

Chablé is located on a former hacienda that has been beautifully renovated. All rooms consist of spacious and private Casitas. The domain itself is beautiful and is very well maintained. They have two restaurants including one Ixi’im operated by chef a Jorge Vallejo who’s been awarded a Michelin star. The restaurant has an impressive collection of Tequila bottles one of the largest in the world. Another restaurant is located on the property which is decent but has less panache. There’s little to fault at Chablé Yucatán there’s attention to detail in every aspect of your stay. The Spa is beautiful and spacious. The massage I had at the spa was one of the best I have ever received. One thing though is that it has limited hydrotherapy facilities with one dry sauna and a few jacuzzi. I didn’t see a steam room although I might have missed it. One peculiar thing is that access to the hydrotherapy area is through the women’s changing room; a spa butler accompanies you and probably made sure that it was empty prior to access but it felt a little weird. Note that you’re surrounded by nature and although we didn’t encounter animal exotic wildlife, birds are very lively including at night so light sleepers beware and bring some earplugs. There are a few mosquitos but surprisingly very few of them given that you’re actually in the jungle. There’s plenty of bars with fantastic cocktails including one that we didn’t try that offer fine spirits and cigars. The service was impeccable and the concierge service goes above and beyond to provide assistance and guidance. One thing that did bother me was the pool in our casita was always filled with leaves and particles were gathering at the bottom, they cleaned it with every room service but I think a more powerful filtration system or automated vacuum could be a good addition.
