A hidden oasis
In showing my brother around Mexico, I had bragged that the service often defines the allure of tourism in this oft-maligned country, and The Villa at Merida was proof of my belief. There are certainly compromises you have to consider - it’s not in the heart of the city, but the walk to the zocalo is a delight in itself. Its location means that it’s quieter, and can offer more outdoor amenities, than the hotels in the historic center. The villa has a lovely little pool area for basking, and the breezes wafting through made it a lovely area to eat breakfast or to have a drink. There is wireless Internet, and the beds are among the best I’ve encountered in any Mexican hotel. The shower heads could use a bit of a soak in some vinegar to get them back to full flow, but again, small potatoes. The most attractive feature was the staff. It’s small and attentive, and will do anything for you. They also speak English if you need it, and it’s worth having dinner there once in the beautiful dining room just for the experience. They basically build the menu around your preferences and offer meals from the Yucatan, Mexico or international styles. The management is currently renovating some of the rooms and were attending to some flaking paint in ours the moment we checked out, so they care a great deal about the appearance and comfort of the Villa. A lovely little oasis, located away from the madness, and within minutes of the airport and perferico to the various historic sites.
Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay
There is one room located at the back of the hotel that is so hidden you’d never know it’s there. Quiet, with a dimly-lit ambience, and open access to the back garden and pool. And given the rather spotty food in Merida itself, try a meal there, especially something in a local style, like the sopa de lima. And get to Uxmal, it’s great.
