El Rey Archaeological Zone
Zona Arqueológica El Rey
Walk among the low stone ruins in the hotel zone. Carry water and check the official site for current access.
Getting there
Find the entrance on Boulevard Kukulcán in the Hotel Zone near Playa Delfines. Ask for Zona Arqueológica El Rey and check the return bus stop before you walk away.
Admission
The archaeological zone is ticketed. Check last admission and payment method before traveling there, especially if it is the main stop of the day.
What to see
Walk among the low stone structures and look for the layout of the former settlement rather than expecting a single large pyramid.
Plan your visit
The site is outdoors with limited shade. Carry water and put the ruins early in the day if you also plan beach time.
Allow about an hour. The grounds are exposed and uneven in places; take water and go earlier in hot weather.
