Traveller Reviews on Merida

Hacienda San Jose

5 of 5 stars
Boston, Massachusetts
17 Nov 2008

This Hacienda was very difficult to find--we arrived after driving 4 hours in the dark from Cancun and had a lot of trouble as the signs on the smaller roads are impossible to see in the dark. However, it was totally worth it. Once we got there, we never wanted to leave. We arrived at midnight and the manager and... more

Angeles de Merida Bed & Breakfast

17 Nov 2008

Beautiful grounds but between the screeching parrot and the dogs that were not house broken it was a very unpleasant stay. more

Casa Santiago

5 of 5 stars
San Francisco, CA
17 Nov 2008

My partner and I spent several nights at Casa Santiago in October, as part of a trip around the Yucatan. Casa Santiago was by far our favorite place on the trip -- and one of our favorite travel experiences ever. The room was clean, tastefully furnished, and had (important!) wonderful air conditioning. It looked even nicer than the pictures on... more

Cascadas de Merida

16 Nov 2008

My wife and I stayed at Cascadas de Merida on a recent trip to Mexico. Our stay couldn't have been better. The owners of this beautiful B&B, Ellyn and Chucho, made us feel like we were in our own home. The rooms are gorgeous, and our bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The breakfasts... more

Cascadas de Merida

16 Nov 2008

We had the good fortune to stay in the exquisite Las Cascadas twice this year, breaking up our long but worthwhile journey from Scotland Each time we were able to meet first Wilberth then Ellyne Arriving late at night Wilberth took great care to make us welcome and provided us with a much needed cold beer. Over a beautifully set... more

Hotel Julamis

5 of 5 stars
Foster City, CA
16 Nov 2008

This was the BEST place my boyfriend and I have stayed in! Before our trip, Mel and I had several email correspondences. He was extremely helpful in answering all of my questions thoroughly and promptly. As soon as we arrived Mel was there to greet us and offered us cold drinks on the house. This was so welcoming seeing that... more

Luz En Yucatan

4 of 5 stars
Port of Spain, Trinidad
15 Nov 2008

On first arrival, the Luz en Yucatan is a pretty unassuming place - in fact we drove straight past the first time, so discreet is the hotel name. That, however, is part of it's charm. Once through the front door this place feels like a home from home - and one is treated in much the same way. As noted... more

Hotel Trinidad

14 Nov 2008

From beginning to end, our stay at the Hotel Trinidad was just perfect. I booked by email and the friendly hotel's owner wrote back to me immediately, with advice on the best (and cheapest!) ways to reach Merida. The hotel itself is right in the centre of this incredible city - but although Merida is hectic, loud and busy, the... more

Hotel Dolores Alba

13 Nov 2008

Spent five nights at Hotel Dolores Alba. Very good value for money. Good location within about 4 blocks of main plaza. All areas of hotel very clean. Staff freindly and helpful, and ladies at front desk speak english. Nice pool and patio. No noise from street. A/C cold and not too noisy. Booked trip to Uxmal and Kabah at hotel... more

Casa del Balam Hotel

5 of 5 stars
seattle
12 Nov 2008

We spent a weekend at Casa Del Balam at the begining of November. We have stayed a couple of times before, the hotel only gets better. The rooms are pretty simple, very clean with good (not great) beds. The location is awsome, about 2 blocks from the main square, just past the opera house. The service is great, Rudolfo at... more

Los Arcos Bed & Breakfast

11 Nov 2008

I stayed here for 5 days and I can't imagine a better place to stay than this one. David, the owner, and Alberto take very good care of you and offer help/advice on your stay throughout. I felt as if I were staying at a friends home. They truly make your stay a memorable one. I can't recommend Los Arcos... more

Eco Paraiso Xixim

2 of 5 stars
north carolina
11 Nov 2008

There seemed to be no one in charge here. The food was horrible....bland, tasteless, and usually served cold. The food was often cold because the two waiters seemed unable to handle two tables. Rather than observing the guests to respond as needed, one hung out behind the bar and the other spent his time looking in the window to the... more

Hotel Julamis

11 Nov 2008

We loved staying here! Originally we had planned to stay at Luz en Yucatan but lucky for us they didn't have any rooms so we tried Julamis instead and am glad we did! It was a bit more than we had planned to spend ($55) but it was worth it - the rooms are gorgeous, the owners friendly and warm... more

Hotel Hacienda Merida

5 of 5 stars
Beijing
9 Nov 2008

We stayed at the Hacienda Merida for three nights, at the end of September. It was fantastic. We travel a lot for work, in big chain hotels, so on holiday, we look for something small, unique and stylish. We found all of these things here. It was extremely sylish, minimalist in a way, with all the modern conveniences (eg wifi... more

Casa Santiago

9 Nov 2008

My husband and I were over joyed with the warm reception we received when we arrived at "Casa Santiago" We were greeted by Vince as we entered the front door and all the stress of daily life and travel disapeared immediately as we settled into the natural beauty that abounds at this lovely Inn. Vince is an amazing conversationalist and... more

This lovely "home away from home" offers the best of the best. Ring the bell at the front door and you will be welcomed into a truly amazing colonial, with both... more

Hotel Julamis

5 of 5 stars
Portland, Oregon
8 Nov 2008

Mel and Erid are wonderful hosts, they made me feel at home and welcome since day 1 (actually since the booking I made via email). I stayed for 3 nigths in the room #8, the one on the top, next to the hammocks and the small swimming pool. The room is quiet, clean and it had all I needed, including... more

Casa del Balam Hotel

8 Nov 2008

We just returned from a 3-night stay at Casa del Balam and would highly recommend it. We didn't have a single complaint. The most significant feature was the hotel's excellent location: it is just a couple of blocks from the center of town and, we felt it to be the single most conveniently located hotel in Merida. Most of what... more

Hotel Julamis

5 of 5 stars
Ireland
8 Nov 2008

We stayed in Hotel Julamis for 3 nights and we had the most amazing stay. The hotel is beautiful and very central. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor terrace with hammocks and plunge pool. The hospitality provided by Mel and Erid was second to none. They were welcoming, friendly and very helpful. We had been in Mexico for a wedding and... more

Hotel Julamis

8 Nov 2008

Mel and Eric, who run Hotel Julamis, are just fabulous! I stayed there 2 nights Nov. 1-3, 2008. Mel went out of his way to find a dive trip for me in the cenotes and called all of the travel tour groups. He also recommended certain companies and told me of experiences of those he didn't recommend b/c his hotel... more
