Mani Vacations from $345

Hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood. Need DiDi/Uber to go places. It is a different kind of hotel, coming from western country. Only give you limited things for breakfast. Pool is ok, but you have to claim it. If some family is using it, you cannot use it, there is no place to just hang out. Rooms are unique, with sitting area. Because of the greenery at the hotel, lots of mosquitoes, I got bit many times. It was decent hotel, but, I will not be staying there next time.

The property was traditional, rustic, but in a nice way. The one block it's on was run down but this was the best cared for place. And, at the end of the block it becomes the best part of the historic district with lots of cultural offerings, food, and shopping. We had some issues through our 2-week stay but they were taken care of fairly quickly as we reported them. There was a lot of noise at night from a bar until 3am. Yes, we're old. But get this, toward the end of our stay i track down the lord bar and talked to them. I kindly mentioned they had been keeping us awake. After that; no noise. The neighborhood lost power 4 days in a row for a few hours. But the city took care of the issue each time. All in all, a nice place.

This hotel has a fantastic location. Restaurants abound, La Plancha Park is at the end of the Gastronomic Street, Paseo Montejo is a block away with mansions, museums, restaurants, shop, and pedestrian Sundays. The staff is bilingual and couldn’t be nicer. The pool area is an oasis. I especially enjoyed it at sunset.

Hotel might be a little overpriced for what it has to offer. General rooms are Mexican vintage with much needed updates, as on every other area like the fountain in the entrance. Only a few suite rooms could enter under the “boutique” umbrella (for design, space and amenities). Pool was always cold during our stay, we couldn’t swim (and was part of our plan). Staff was nice. And location is very good for walking around downtown Merida.
