Welcome to Macan ché, your tropical oasis in the heart of the Yucatán. We are located in the charming city of Izamal, known as the "Yellow City" and the "City of Three Cultures" for the Mayan, Spanish and Meztiso cultures which thrive here. Macan ché offers the perfect location for your home base as you visit many of the sites in the Yucatán including Chichén Itzá only 45 minutes away by car. Or, if you're en route and need a breath of peace on your journey, lounge by the natural rock-bottom pool, enjoy a massage or yoga class, or simply relax in the beautiful gardens at Macan ché. "We came for one night and kept saying 'one more night', staying for four. I felt I was looking into paradise when the door opened. Izamal has been a pleasure with interesting fairs, churches, pyramids, and a street dance. And Macan ché—the wonderful home to return to. " —John and Anne from Bandera, Texas, USA We offer many amenities for the individual traveler and are well equipped to handle groups including yoga retreats, small conferences, weddings, or family vacations. Please explore our site for more information about our hotel, our city, and our area. If you still have questions, feel free to contact us. Emily Navar and Alfred Rordame are the owners of Hotel Macan ché Bed & Breakfast. In September 2005 they moved to the Yucatán to operate the hotel in the colonial city of Izamal. In addition to hosting guests from around the world, their vision is to offer a space for group and individual retreats where participants can explore their self study surrounded by the archeological wonders of the Mundo Maya (Mayan World). Read about your hosts in this interview with Yucatan Living (a wonderful and informative blog about life in the Yucatan).
