Maya Bell operates an excellent kitchen but there is no table service. You put in
your order at the reception desk, leave your name, pay your bill and wait until your
number is called.

The cabins away from the pool are the best option for those not traveling with
children. Christmas and Easter are apt to be busy family times. Ask to see a few
of the cabins and rooms before choosing if possible.

Maya Bell is a great option for its location and good restaurant but there are
other campgrounds in the area and reasonable posadas. The collectivos run
every ten or so minutes and make it easy to reach the ruins from anywhere.
