Becan is a large archaeological site in Campeche, Mexico featuring some well preserved pyramids. Becan was a Mayan site best known for its fortifications: a moat and a wall surround the core city center, with pyramids and temples clustered in a tight enclave with a strong core nucleus of unusually high structures.
Casual friendly place with burgers, fries, tacos and similar light fare. Be mindful of food safety when making your choices and you'll be fine.
You'll be disappointed if you book this place thinking it's in Calakmul, but you'll be pretty happy if you're actually looking for a place close to Becan, since the hotel is about a 500 meter walk from the Becan archaeological site. Moderate hotel that has issues with maintenance.
