Shambalanté staff is extraordinary and wonderful. They kept track of our arrival since the airport until we got there. They explained everything, they offered us natural lemonade, pecans and natural made cookies.
The place is absolutely wonderful.
Breakfast is supreme.
Everything about this center is amazing! The rooms the grounds were healing and a true off the grid experience. Tha staff was the best, alway attentive and ensuring I was enjoying myself. I can’t recommend this getaway enough!
Incredible, peaceful, and beautiful place. A great mix of jungle, hacienda ruins, posh facilities, and a healing, new age vibe. Quite remote, but that is part of the intrigue. The food is also incredible (even my husband, who is a dedicated carnivore, was floored by it. All the staff was fantastic and very thoughtful about the experience they wanted to create. Wish we stayed longer to get to relax and unwind in such a special spot.
It was an experience I recommend to anyone seeking a relaxed vibe. I cannot describe how AMAZING this place was. All i can say mother nature is all over, alot of beautiful history and the best part of all the connection we absorb within is indescribable. No tv no alcohol. The food was vegan DELICIOUS and no i am not vegan but now i am considering it thanks to this beautiful place.
We initially came for the beauty and the quiet. We came back (although we had different plans!) for the delicious food, the kind and caring staff, the meditative atmosphere that allows to truly rest and overall the soul of the place. Extraordinary.
This was an amazing experience and the highlight of our trip. The hotel is nested in the jungle of Yucatan: luscious vegetation, old ruins that witness the passage of the Mayans, a Franciscan community and an old hacienda. Is exquisitely remodelled to blend with the surroundings, with modern and airy architecture, many beautiful pools, and walkable paths.
The food is amazing and healthy and the staff warm, welcoming and efficient.
We have the impression that is more than a hotel: we noticed various groups of guests in yoga and meditation retreats, coexisting with tourists like us in harmony and respect.
Todo súper bien, me encantó la comida, la naturaleza es espectacular y la gente que trabaja ahí son excelentes personas.

El lugar es muy bonito, la vegetación, la jardinería, los árboles, las albercas, un hermoso lugar sin duda alguna. Igual la habitación en la que estuvimos con un baño en el patio con árboles y pequeño jardín, realmente muy agradable. El personal sin duda muy amable. El único punto es que la aventura inicial, sin previo aviso y con mi condición de no me conviene caminar mucho por mi cadera, repercutió en que me doliera y se inflamara de nuevo. O sea tienen que ser mas cuidadosos en esto. Por lo demas fue una grata estancia
Una experiencia increíble!! Nos encantó el hotel y perdernos en medio de la nada con toda la naturaleza! Lo recomiendo mucho para conectar y alejarte del ritmo de la ciudad! Regreso seguro.
