Goed voor een enkele overnachting, maar niet voor meerdere dagen (wifi/ontbijt)
Pros:

De kamer was mooi evenals het zwembad. Het personeel was erg vriendelijk.

Cons:

De wifi was erg slecht.
Het inclusief ontbijt was erg mager. Je moest kiezen tussen een sapje of een koffie. Daarna volgde een klein bordje fruit, wat op zich ok was. Vervolgens waren het iedere dag eieren met bonenpasta en 3 schelpjes chips. Tortilla's moesten we steeds vragen, deze werden niet standaard gebracht. Voor toast moest je bijbetalen... Voor de pannenkoekjes moest je als volwassene bijbetalen... Als je ergens een week verblijft, verwacht je toch een klein beetje variatie.

Pros:

Surprisingly large and landscaped place tucked away behind a basic street facade. Room was tastefully basic but really nice, and appeared clean. Location is a little out of the way but still walkable. Check out the nearby Michelin rated gelato shop! Breakfast was also pretty good as were the beds.

Cons:

Unlike most places we stayed, they did not have a filtered water machine to refill water bottles.

Super pretty boutique property in convenient location
Pros:

Loved the decor, staff (especially Danny)and my huge comfy room. We had the two bed master suite that had its own lounge and small garden with plunge pool. Too cold to use that most days but the central pool is gorgeous and would be refreshing in warmer times.

Cons:

Very little. Could donwith a ceiling fan in second small bedroom

Sweet little escape
Pros:

I had my own little cenote in the back patio, cool, birds singing in the morning. Having natural light and plants in the patio makes a difference.

Cons:

It didn’t have a mini fridge and a hammock in the room.

Adequate but could have been better.
Pros:

The look of the place was good, the rooms were decent. Overall not the worst, definitely not the best. There's a good bar 2 streets away.

Cons:

Big gaps around the frontdoor let mosquitoes in. My toilet smelled rank the whole stay. The pool was very shallow and small. When extending my stay with one day in person they tried to charge me 500 pesos more that what booking offered at that moment, when shown this they quickly corrected the price. Breakfast is utilitarian and the same every morning. Scrambled eggs with a little fruit, some mole and tortilla chips. One cup of coffee or juice, no refills. It's a decent walk towards the centrum.

Best hidden gem hotel in Merida, MX
Pros:

I loved that this place was dog friendly. My Dog eats subscription food and even though there's no fridge in the room, they put it in their freezer for me Andhra gave it to me daily during his feeding time. I loved the private patios and the wood floors. I loved the pool was available anytime. On-site restaurant with breakfast included

Cons:

Mosquitoes were horrible but that's not the hotel's fault, so take repellant. The restaurant can stay open longer

Bien...
Pros:

La piscina tiene buen tamaño.

Cons:

Que no ponen suficiente agua para beber en las recamaras. Y dicen que solo te pueden recargar una vez y luego te la cobran!.... El agua debería ser un servicio gratuito en todo sentido.
