One of the most prominent features of Hacienda Chichen Resort is that its guests have immediate intimate contact with the Maya culture, its heritage and culinary and healing holistic traditions.  For generations passed with utmost reverence and care from mother to daughter and father to son.  The friendly nature found in the Maya people, creates a heartwarming traveling experience to all our guests.

Hacienda Chichen and Yaxkin Spa sponsors many Mayan Cultural events as part of the hotel's social sustainable vision to help preserve the Maya traditions and values, culinary arts, healing wisdom, holistic ceremonies and Cosmovision rituals.

100% staffed by Mayan people, the hotel has an in house hospitality training workshops as part of the eco-social awareness of its owners.  Most workers speak Yucatecan Maya as their mother language; guest may hear the singing Maya melodies of our staff as they stroll through our Organic Plantation.

During each year, the J-Men Maya Healers and Wiseman celebrate their sacred rituals, all intimately related with the ancient Tozlkin Maya Calendar, at the hotel's Maya Jungle Reserve. Guests are invited to experience this vast Mayan cultural legacy; for further information please read Yucatan Adventure's article: Maya Sacred Ceremonies and Rituals.
