I did not visit the town of Santa Elena but stayed at the Pickled Onions Hotel as a base to visit the nearby ruins of Uxmal.
I think Santa Elena makes an excellent location for anyone that would like to visit both Uxmal and Kabah as these are just few minutes away by car

The hotel seems fairly new, with interesting room modules. I loved the hammock on the porch! Breakfast was good. Dinner is served there but the menu is quite limited. Because the hotel is "off the grid" there is no AC, and you can't use a hair dryer. Not a complaint, just be aware. The fan overhead was enough for sleeping. The grounds are very interesting, worth a walk around. We found it a pleasant alternative to staying in town. Very nice helpful staff.

The location near Uxmal was super helpful to get there early the next day, and its position among wilderness and trees was beautiful (intriguing bird calls late at night!). The whole site has been very carefully designed with a beautiful pool area and cute individual huts. Aircon worked well and bed was very comfortable. Breakfast included was tasty too. And owner stayed up late to let us in after a long journey from other side of Yucatan.

Ideal hotel for visiting day after Uxmal , wonderful maya site . Refreshing pool , i loved hammock above pool . I got 2 rooms with a small outdoor aisle between 2 rooms , ideally to have some privacy for adults and young adolescents with own room and bathroom . diner correct and very nice breakfast , better than regulary mexican breakfast standards . Lovely chat with owner .

Very lovely, comfortable and unique boutique hotel nestled in a small town close to Uxmal and other ruins on the Ruta Puuc.
Friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere after a day exploring Mayan ruins.
Good restaurant and an amazing breakfast.
Come for the breakfast and enjoy the rest of this wonderful,.small.hotel.

New, clean, and luxurious hotel. We arrived by train (tren maya) and were picked up from the station. The hotel also took us to the Uxmal temple by shuttle (20 minutes). Excellent service!
