Cenotes Resort in
Hacienda Sotuta de Peón
This is a boutique hotel in one of the most geographically unique locations on the Yucatán Peninsula. The property is located within the Ring of Cenotes, a belt of caves and cenotes with one of the highest concentrations in the world—both within our grounds and in the surrounding area.

The heart of the resort
There are 15 cenotes within the property: 8 are part of our experiences — you can swim in their consistently cool waters and explore their formations — while the other 7 remain hidden and untouched in the jungle, undisturbed as part of the hacienda’s living ecosystem.
The Ring of Cenotes
66 million years ago, an asteroid more than 10 kilometers in diameter struck what is now the Yucatán Peninsula, causing the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs. The crater it left behind—now known as the Chicxulub Crater—was buried beneath millions of years of limestone, but its ancient rim is still visible on the surface. Along this line, groundwater dissolved the fractured limestone over millions of years and carved a semicircular chain of cenotes known as the Ring of Cenotes, more than 160 kilometers in diameter, now protected as a State Geohydrological Reserve.
Tecoh, the municipality where Hacienda Sotuta de Peón is located, is part of this ring.The 15 cenotes on our property are literally part of the geological scar that marked the end of one era and the beginning of another.

The setting
The resort is much more than its cenotes. Its grounds encompass mid-level tropical forest, historic henequen plantations, and wildlife corridors where birds, reptiles, and mammals endemic to Yucatán live side by side.
You don’t arrive at a hotel here. You arrive in an ecosystem. The jungle welcomes you, the cenote cools you off, and the hacienda—alive since 1858—shares its history with you.
