Casa Morayma

Top choice in Chiapas


Offering by far the best night's sleep in Unión Juárez, this small, arty hotel on the entrance road into town stands out for its terracotta red paintwork and vines creeping up the outside of the building. The botanical theme continues inside with a little water garden feature, bright flowery paintings and travel-inspired photo art.

Señora Morayma, a marathon runner (note the medals hanging upstairs) or other staff can organize Tacaná treks (around M$1500 per day for two people).
