Pros:

Las albercas (el clavado increíble) y el diseño general
El personal, muy servicial
La habitación
El desayuno rico
Mobiliario
La tranqullidad

Cons:

- Ambiente un poco apagado/triste: dejar musica tipo onsen, quitar la pintura de la sala principal que rompe toda la identidad del lugar. Agregar actividades para darle vida al lugar (clases de yoga)
- Falta una luz potente en el baño para poder ver bien y al lado de la cama para leer
- Pensé que habia restaurante en el lugar pero cierra en la tarde, entonces no pudimos cenar. Y la zona no es tan bonita, no hay alternativas. No vi tampoco ramens en el menu

Pros:

- Das Frühstück war super lecker und frisch
- Das Personal war sehr freundlich

Cons:

- Die Junior Suite ist viel zu dunkel und laut. Es gibt keine Fenster und das Licht ist nicht wirklich hell. Wenn man in anderen Zimmer das heiße Wasser aufgedreht hat, wurde es bei uns richtig laut. Allgemein war es sehr hellhörig, wir haben den andern Gästen beim Schnarchen zugehört.
- Die Gegend ist etwas heruntergekommen, aber hat uns nicht weiter gestört.

Pros:

The staff was incredible warm and attentive. There was a peaceful and serene atmosphere throughout the space and truly felt like a retreat in the middle of the city. I caught up on some much needed deep rest during my time there and would highly recommend.

Impresionante
Pros:

Un hotel simplemente espectacular. Desde el primer momento se respira un ambiente exclusivo, íntimo y lleno de estilo. La arquitectura combina piedra natural, madera y detalles artesanales que crean una atmósfera elegante pero cálida.

Las zonas comunes son impresionantes: espacios abiertos con techos altos, ventiladores, iluminación tenue y una decoración cuidadosamente seleccionada. Cada rinc transmite un lujo discreto y muy bien cuidado.

La cocina es excelente, platos bien elaborados, sabores equilibrados y presentación impecable. Se nota la calidad y el cuidado en cada detalle.

El agua de la piscina y del jacuzzi exterior está perfecta, limpia, a temperatura ideal y muy agradable. Un verdadero placer para relajarse.

Las habitaciones son acogedoras, con una iluminación suave que invita al descanso absoluto. Todo transmite tranquilidad, privacidad y confort.

Sin duda, una experiencia de cinco estrellas que repetiría sin pensarlo.

Wonderful get away
Pros:

The property is located on a very quiet part of the city of Merida about 1.5 km walk to the downtown center. The room and atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. It makes you lose track of time, just to enjoy yourself.

This hotel in Merida will make you want to return pronto!
Pros:

The best and only place to stay in Merida! The staff is outstanding and we felt like extended family that had arrived to visit their cousins. The common areas are spectacular and filled with pools and trees. The beds are very comfortable and the showers work perfectly with an outdoors setting under the trees or the stars! The breakfasts were first rate and extremely fresh and abundant. We loved this hotel in Merida!

Cons:

I honestly can’t think of a thing!

Tranquil and lush green property with the loveliest staff
Pros:

The property is so tranquil and feels like a haven from the city’s busyness. The onsen/warm pool is absolutely lovely. They also have the cutest cat family there with adorable little kittens.

In regard to staff, everyone we encountered were so attentive and ensured our stay was nothing short of perfect. But the highlight for us was this man who was the evening/night receptionist - he was so wonderful and friendly! He definitely made our day and night every time we saw him; an absolute gem!

Cons:

Everything was perfect!

Great stay and beautiful hotel
Pros:

Amazing hotel and bath spa. Great selection of massage services and a quiet yoga space. Pools and rooms were beautiful. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Location is a bit of a walk/short uber to the main square. Nice for quiet from tourists but not in ideal location for easy walking.
