Hacienda Chichen and Yaxkin Spa are within the ancient Maya city of Chichen Itza, next to the southeast entrance to the archaeological visited site, between the Maya villages of Piste and Xcalacoop. 

Getting to Hacienda Chichen is easy if you follow the green road signs, as you approach Chichen Itza.

For your convenience, we have taken photographs of each sign that you will see after you make the left turn in Piste. Print out this page and bring it with you for reference.

From Cancun:
Take the Carretera towards Merida. You can take the "libre" or free road, which will take you through many different villages but will take a lot longer. The faster route, the Carretera or Cuota Road, costs money but it is faster and easier to follow if its your first time. Continue past Valladolid and take the Chichen Itza exit. Follow the signs to Piste. When the road dead-ends in Piste, turn left. When you see a toll sign poll with two large upper signs: one on your right to the Chichen Itza Ruin (also the road to Piste) and one on the left for the "Zona Hotelera" (Hotel Zone) take the left fork to the hotel zone. Approximately 1 KM after this fork is the hotel. Continue down the road until you see the Hacienda Chichen Resort and Yaxkin Spa Entrance sign on your left.

From Valladolid:
If you plan to drive from Valladolid to the Hacienda Chichen taking the old free road #180, please be careful. This road is narrow and has many accidents; watch for speeding tour-buses and for local bikers going to work who may need you to slow down.  You will drive through a few villages, please take care to go slow, children and pets run across road sometimes without looking. Once you arrive to Xcalacoop, you are 6Km away from the hotel; follow the green road signs until you see a tall sign poll with the "Zona Hotelera" sign at the left and "Chichen Itza" at the right.  Slow down, you are to take the small road to the left where the Hotel Zone (Zona Hotelera) road is; keep on driving another 1.5 KM. and at the left you will see the two old ocre-yellow towers of the hotel entrance sign at the left of the road.

From Merida:
Proceed East on the Carretera as if you are going to Cancun. Exit at the Chichen Itza exit, and turn right to go towards the town of Piste. Be careful as you approach town. There are a number of topes (bumps in the road) that you do not want to drive over at full speed. In Piste, the road will dead end with the old church on your right. When the road dead-ends, turn left towards the ruins. Follow the signs toward Cancun and Valladolid...do not go towards the Zona Archeologica of Chitzen Itza. At the fork in the road where you would turn right to go to the ruins, bear left and continue on for about 2km. Continue until you see a sign on the right that says "Zona Hotelera ". Just a few yards after this sign, make a hard right turn. Continue down the road until you see the Hacienda Chichen Resort two ocre-yellow tower entrance with an entrance sign on your left (the sign at the top of this page).
