Like what others have said: great value; beautiful, natural setting in tropical gardens/courtyards with birds, plants, fountains; convenient location; wonderful staff; access to a well-equipped kitchen; quality bed and linens; strong AC, as needed; outdoor shower; salt water swimming pool was a special, unexpected treat.

Many thanks to Batiste, Gaby, Julia, et al. Really glad I stayed here (and, that they had availability) and looking forward to a return visit.

Just completed a 6 night stay at the Villa Mérida and it was excellent! The property takes you back in time and is beautifully preserved and decorated. It can be very hot outside, but as soon as you walk it, it feels much cooler due to the open air courtyard in the center. Our room had a very tall ceiling which added to the spacious. Bed was really comfortable which was great since we walked a lot each day. Bastite was onsite to ensure everything was to our liking and their staff is always working to ensure the comfort of the guests. Highly recommend!

This was my fifth stay at Villa Mérida and it most certainly won’t be my last. It is a tranquil oasis within the heart of a beautiful and dynamic city. There aren’t words sufficient to describe how welcoming and kind the staff are, including Batiste, the gracious concierge. We were so sad that we weren’t able to catch him before our departure to say goodbye. The Villa itself is pure magic. The pool was recently upgraded with a heating system that provides the perfect temperature for a relaxing dip. The landscaping is a tropical dream come true. The kitchen is the perfect place to meet other guests, grab coffee or espresso, and prepare a quick meal if you don’t feel like venturing out. If you are lucky enough to find rooms available, book them. You won’t be disappointed!

This was a return trip for us, after six years away, and the property is even more wonderful now than before. You are staying in a historic mansion in downtown Merida and you feel like this sumptuous villa is yours. The ceilings must be almost 20 feet. The gardens and courtyards are iconic tropical Mexico. And the pool — now heated! Plus a large communal kitchen where you can make coffee and breakfast in the morning. The staff is welcoming and helpful. And your are within 20-25 minute walk to the Main Plaza and other centro attractions, restaurants and bars. Phenomenal.
