We were more than satisfied with this lovely little bed and breakfast. The room was well-thought out for maximum comfort. The staff was friendly and efficient. The inn keepers were hospitable to a fault -- great advice about the area and region, helpful with arrangements, wonderful cooks, good conversationalists. Don't hesitate to book here.

If you are looking for pampering, meeting fellow travellers, terrific breakfasts, hosts who are always helpful and know the city and the whole Yucatan, this is the place to stay. Quiet, clean, comfortable, secure, and just steps to a cool dip in a lovely pool. Easy walking distance to the centre of town with its magnificent colonial stuctures, plazas, and restaurants. We enjoyed several personalized tours, always on time and in a small van for confortable travelling - and all very reasonable. We spent over a week with our hosts getting to know Merida and the great ruins of the Yucatan and from what we saw this is the best place to stay in Merida.

We were not too sure what to expect behind the ubiquitous concrete facade that hides every abode in Centro Merida. We were greeted by Ellyne in the most friendly manner and invited in to a private oasis of great beauty and charm. Our stay at Cascadas wil always be remembered for the beautiful private setting, amazing breakfasts, terrific hospitality, lovely modern rooms and tasteful, unique decor and the genuine hospitality and openess of our hosts. An experience not to be missed if visiting Merida. Could not do any better. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

My husband and I just came back from a month in Mexico from which we spend two weeks in the charming city of Merida with its warm people and lively music. Our stay in Merida was superb because we stayed in Cascadas de Merida! This is a very special place and please read the other reviews for more details on the property. We have never had a river running through our room! It is the best B&B we have ever stayed-in including European ones! The central location allows you to sightsee the city on foot and to reach all-important attractions. The accommodations are first class, everything works! This is unusual in Mexico. The rooms are spacious and the swimming pool at your feet with the lovely garden, waterfalls and hammocks makes you feel better then at home. The warm welcoming of our hosts Ellyne and Chucho Basto and their succulent breakfasts made our stay unforgettable. The convenient Internet access in the rooms allows you to keep in touch with family and friends and even allows you to work like in my husband’s case. Although we have been to Merida before, Ellyne and Chucho’s traveling tips made us discover new places like the Ek-Balam ruins. We will never forget the afternoon refreshing drinks brought by the smiling Miguel, who together with his mother and sister, take care of the guests and their needs. Thank you Ellyne and Chucho for allowing us to stay in your beautiful B&B and we look forward to visit you in a near future. U & AM
