"We came for one night and kept saying 'one more night', staying for four. I felt I was looking into paradise when the door opened. Izamal has been a pleasure with interesting fairs, churches, pyramids, and a street dance. And Macan ché—the wonderful home to return to. "
—John and Anne from Bandera, Texas, USA
