The Flycatcher Inn is located on the edge of the village of Santa Elena - just off the main highway - 15 Km (9 miles) south of the ruins of Uxmal, in the middle of the Puuc route.

It features 5 rooms, each with a private terrace area, offering you peace and calm from everyday life, and a perfect base for exploring the many archaelogical sites on the Mayan route and the neighboring market villages, learning about Mayan culture, and for day trips to Campeche city, or to cenotes in Cuzuma.

You can stay in the Flycatcher Suite - cool and spacious, with 2 twin beds and a large marble bathroom, featuring a private entry and furnished terrace overlooking the gardens, and custom furniture from the wrought iron workshop - or in one of the rooms in the adjacent building, the Nutmeg Guest House.
They are bright, airy and comfortable; each has a queen bed and hammock, a private bathroom, and a small terrace area in the palm garden.

A delightful new cottage is available for private rental, Chel House is complete with private washroom and shower and its own path in through the garden.
The spacious main room, decorated with Mexican and Mayan art, has 2 double beds and a sitting area with table and chairs.

Enjoy a holiday of pure relax sitting in a hammock and watching the many birds of the region, or chill out on the terrace in the evening with a glass of wine and enjoying the stars, cicadas, fireflys, and birds song.

Wake up with the coffee aroma in the air, before joining us in the main house for a breakfast (included in the price) of fresh gound coffee, or tea, fresh juice, a fruit plate from some of our 18 different kinds of fruit bearing trees, and homemade cake breads. Or if you like, scrambled eggs with chives from the garden. Try one of the local honeys on whole wheat toast.

With long stays, special traditional meals can also be arranged.
There are also two good small restaurants in the village serving lunch and dinner, one just half block from the Inn.

Your hosts are a native Mayan, and a very happily displaced North American, who will be happy to suggest you the many traditional village events, not put on for tourism, that guests are welcome to see, and /or participate in.

Here you can see traditional Mayan religious and village ceremonies and celebrations, and have your questions answered in English, Spanish, or Mayan!

You will also find a nature trail back through the 20 acres of land behind the Inn. Along this trail are Chultuns, the old Mayan water collection systems, and various carved rocks and pottery shards from previous structures.
Located on the lower part of the grounds are the family housing structures, still being used today.
