One room with king-size bed adjoined by one room with two double beds. There is also a large motel style building which caters for the numerous groups that stay a few days at the Mayan on their busy itineraries.

Everything is included: your attractive room, three delicious meals each day, two horseback rides daily, use of the tennis courts, plus all the activities listed on the activity schedule

The rate includes two rides a day: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. They are all single file, walk only with a cowboy guide and last about 50 minutes.

No riding experience is required and the Wranglers will allocate a horse for you.

During the summer there is no riding on a Sunday.

The staff at the ranch certainly want to be sure you don't go hungry so will find some of the biggest and best meals in the ranching business. These may be served out on the trail, around the pool or in the dining room.

Evenings are wall to wall entertainment with bingo, talent competitions, country music and dancing or a Karaoke evening.   Hayrides are also a popular evening event.
