Brilliant Mayan site. Although only 2% has been uncovered the site is impressive, comparable with other major Mayan sites.
Guides are available at the entrance, the price is negotiable despite the posted fees. There is plenty of background information online.
The Museum is worth a visit as it adds background, it is included in the entrance fee (keep you ticket with you).
