The Pickled Onion Eco-Boutique B&B

Bed and Breakfast

We stayed for two nights to visit Uxmal and Kabah, very comfortable the room which are traditional Yucatan, fresh and comfortable, the treatment of the Hostess VALERY and the employees is friendly, the breakfast is perfect as well as the restaurant service, I highly recommend it…

EXELENTE service and quality an incomparable treatment that makes you feel at home 1000% recommended.

Exceptional property in beautiful surroundings. Wonderful pool. Very clean units with hot water, AC, fridge. Coffee maker in room and secure safes. Breakfast included was incomparable to others on Ruta Puuc. Owner greets you on arrival. Repeat customers necessitate advance reservations as once you have been you will want to go again! Tranquility plus!

Great the Poc Chuc (so good and with seasoning similar to that of 'Prince TuTul Xiu). With all the comforts of a good restaurant, Wi-Fi, card payments, clean bathrooms and parking.

There were four of us and a kid. We stayed for two nights in April 2018. The location was great! The food was great too, and we regret we only had a chance to eat there once. A lot of ruins to visit around. Swimming pool was enjoyable, and the presence of the owner was nice, I enjoyed few small conversations with her. The rooms could have more lightening in my opinion, and the mirrow in the bathroom of our bangalew was installed way to low. But at least my four year old could have seen himself there, not that he really cares for his appearance much! Other than that, would love to come back. Merci,

Excellent atmosphere and food. They use pasta tubing as straws. Excellent ecological idea. I loved it.

This place is perfectly located in Ruta Puuc and makes an excellent base for exploring Uxmal and the other smaller ruins in the area. The grounds are like a garden with a small pool perfect for cooling off after a long day of ruin hopping. There are multiple bungalows that are super fun to stay in, along with being both clean and comfortable. The lady that runs the place is super friendly and knowledgeable about the area. She comes out each morning during breakfast (with her cute dog) to visit with the guests and to offer advice. The staff is also very friendly. Breakfast is included and very good. Parking is also free. The only downside is that the restaurant for dinner is just OK and the margaritas were very bad (stick to beer).

Great hotel to make step in order to get to Uxmal restaurant at the top and nice breakfast I recommend it.

Great accommodations, staff, and food! Valerie has done a great job with the place and was great to chat with. Great place to stay while visiting archaeological sites in the area.

The food is very rich they serve you well and it is international The restaurant hotel.

A good place to Rest. The cabins are very well equipped, the staff Pleasant. The kitchen is very good. Valerie, the owner is very kind. This is a place I highly recommend.

I was in 2017 at this hotel, great.

Great place on a hill a short distance from Uxmal. Quality food in the restaurant and quaint Mayan hut like rooms facing a lovely pool. Perfect overnight place on the Puuc Route. Stayed several times. Love it!

Very pleasant place, combining the typical construction of the area along with well thought out gardens that exhibit very different species of the region.
Great location to visit the Puuc region: Uxmal, Kabah, Sayil, Labna, Xlapak.
Excellent food and service in your restaurant.
The presence and attention of its owner are frequent.
It has Wifi signal.

Our group of 10 people from Canada LOVED the food at The Pickles Onion. The BLT, chicken quesadilla, meatballs and margaritas are fantastic. 5* and I highly recommend!

We only went to the restaurant which was good.

A good combination of regional and international food!

Excellent place to eat after visiting the areas Arqueologicas is hotel and restaurant the Prescios are reasonable and the service very good.

The rooms are really nice and functional, the pool is fantastic and the restaurant is hands down the best in town. Valerie, the proprietor is changing and full of local knowledge. I make a point of staying/eating here when ever I visit the Puuc route.

Very good resort, managed with care by Valerie. Beautiful garden, Rich breakfast.

Amazing place! Unique experience to sleep in round, quite and beautiful home! Very nice and professional personal! The place also have a good restaurant.

Best restaurant within a short distance of Uxmal with wonderful food and reasonable price. A place you can stay and enjoy the pool and gardens!

Excellent restaurant on the way to the Puuc route. Good place to try Poc Chuc, near Uxmal and Kabah. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Stopped by for lunch on the way between Uxmal and the Ruta Puuc. Enjoyable meal in a nice location for a decent price. Good service.

I really like this place to stay when I visit Uxmal (it's 15 kms away). St. Helena doesn't have much to visit but the hotel is very nice. The rooms are rustic but very well equipped and the vegetation and atmosphere of the place is also very nice. Breakfasts are extraordinary and are included in the room rate. The owner is foreign and although her Spanish is not perfect she caters very well to her guests.

A haven of greenery in the middle of the jungle and close to the historical sites. Very nice welcome. The staff and the owner are at the small care and so adorable and helpful. Go there without any hesitation.

Very good restaurant-the best in this area between the sites.

Wonderful experience for breakfast so we came back for dinner in the same day. Food and service was excellent plus they take credit cards (for a fee). Bathrooms were clean. All rare things in this area.

Nice hotel, clean and spacious. Unbeatable attention. They offer an exquisite breakfast, widely recommended.

Food was… ok (quesadillas were dripping oil). Service could improve. But what really makes me give them 1 star: they charge us a 5% surcharge for using an international card… senseless since the restaurant has to pay the same fee regardless of where the card is issued. Also, it's not true there is not any food in the puuc route. There is none in the ruins… But there is near the caves.

Good food near Uxmal ruins and the Ruta Puuc. A selection of dishes including some from the Yucatan. The avocado soup was excellent. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices were reasonable. Cards accepted but there was a charge for using a foreign card.

Extraordinary place you shoudn't miss. The attention to detail is awesome. Delicous food for reasonable price. The best accommodation we've been to in Yucatan.

We eat lunch and it was great. Delicious Mexican dishes anf nice staff.

A wonderful stay in a peaceful place. Each room has its own private bathroom, a double bed, a hammock, a fridge. The staff is really nice and helpful and you get to enjoy the nice garden with a few hammocks here and then to take a nap.

A marvel. In a beautiful setting of small bungalows adorable and decorated with great taste all held by an exceptional woman, English, present in Santa Elena for more than 15 years. The kitchen is excellent the perfect service and the breakfast to fall. Do not hesitate for a second to stop there a few days if as we make you a roadtrip in the peninsula.
To do nothing to spoil the situation is ideal; 15 min from the archaeological site of Uxmal and just as much from the Ruta Puuc. Don't forget to visit the Chocolate Museum which is awesome.

Stopped for lunch, was not disappointed in the least. Started with the queso fundido, I had an Horchata, and then moved onto the main course. My wife ordered the pollo alcaporrado and I had the lomitas de Valloidoid, both were fantastic. Great views, a nice afternoon, in a perfect setting!

Charming and beautiful buildings and grounds. Excellent food, including dinner, breakfast, and a very generously portioned picnic lunch they packed for us. It was obvious that the people there genuinely wanted us to feel well taken care of. And the plants had name-tags; as a tree-hugger, I really loved that. Highly recommended.

Wonderful place!
Peaceful, beautiful, and Valerie is the perfect host!
And the breakfast + dinner are so great!
Highly recommended!

Really liked the food. Good presentation. This was a real treat. It would be nice to stay at the B&B sometime as well.

Small pleasant hotel in a small green garden near the Mayan sites; simple but clean room; nice little pool, good food and friendly staff.

Ate very well. Presentations of very neat dishes and impeccable service. Just a little flat for mosquitoes… but on the terrace j would could put it has everything the Mexican restaurants.

Great hotel with rooms in typical houses maya. Only flaw (but also an advantage depending on how you see it) the lack of air conditioning. Restaurant favooloso.

The food is excellent. This is a great place. The owner is fantastic!

This B&B/restaurant is a beautiful place, with cozy huts, lovely pool, gorgeous walkways with plants identified, and even massage and yoga available to schedule. The owner and her staff take care of the place with such love, it shows. We only stayed one night, but wanted to stay forever. Don't hesitate to discover the little gem, it's quiet, and the drinks by the pool side are excellent! Also, they have a family but, with one hut/bathroom with two beds for the kiddos, and the other, semi connected one for mom and dad, with their own bathroom. Overall, a fantastic place!

This place is magical and beautiful, the rooms are nice, Valerie and the staff are great people willing to do anything to make you happy, the restaurant is great. I think this place is a staple of the yuccatan. More it is very well located, next to the most beautiful pyramids, that good vibrations.

We ate here after visiting Kabah — february 2015. The food and staff were excellent, fantastic. Very good job.

We ate here after visiting Uxmal. The food and staff were excellent.

First of all, here's coordinates of this place: +20° 19' 12.25", — 89° 38' 35.02" as for some reason it is difficult to locate it on Google maps (as of November 2012). An ADORABLE PLACE! I stayed there with my wife for less than a day in November 2012, and was extremely satisfied with place, settings, environment, food, drinks, and most of all — HOSPITALITY! We arrived in the morning after almost sleepless night in Palenke — Merida bus and then Merida — Santa-Elena connection and further Mexico — Palenke 11 hours bus night trip the night before. It might be because of that reason, but really — we found that place incredibly relaxing, in a calm tiny spot beside a not busy Mexican country-side road, with few people resting there at that time. A few bungalos, small swimming pool, fruit trees, birds… and relaxation… I suggest this place as a must stay for everybody travelling by car in Puuk area. It's located just in-between of several small Mayan sites, and in 15 km from famous Uxmal, and I think it should be very convenient to visit few of them within 1 day, than spend a night at hotel, then go to Uxmal, get back, get some rest (Repeat for as may times as you wish :-) ) For regular travellers, which are not fond of archeology, or who has got enough of it during previous trips to Mexico — this place is welcomed as well. We met a family from USA, who comes back there twice a year, saying they liked its style and environs.
