 A cool pool in the tropics by Sandi-2004
Every morning a full breakfast is served on the patio, weather permitting. David Reed, owner and manager of Los Arcos, lives in the main house and is a welcoming and gracious host. His staff is also very helpful and kind. We felt right at home. And the pool feels great on those very hot days in Merida.
Beautifully decorated, very private rooms with comfortable beds, gorgeous tropical gardens & wonderful pool with no restrictions on swimming hours, welcoming ambiance, delicious breakfast served whenever you wish and great location are some of the outstanding qualities of this peaceful and quiet little paradise in a big city.
Rates are $65.00 USD for a room with one dble bed and $85.00 USD for two dbles compared to $100 and more for the large hotels.

 | The Villa @ Merida: 17th Century Mansion
Tip Rating:   Satisfaction:  |  |

We stayed in a lovely little hotel in the historical center of Merida - the Hotel Villa Maria. The hotel has only 11 rooms and is an impeccably restored 17th century colonial mansion. The rooms, center courtyard and dining rooms are beautiful. Location was perfect. Close enough to the Plaza Grande to be centrally located, but off a few blocks, so traffic was not a problem. The rooms were spotlessly clean and very spacious. The owner, Octavio Monsalvo is the perfect host and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable.
The beds at Villa Maria are extremely comfortable, and I loved the layout of the rooms. The sleeping area is on the first floor, and is furnished with some antiques (although the bed is modern and new). The bathroom in each room is in an upstairs loft. The hot water never ran out and the shower heads were good. Clean linens were replaced daily. A/C worked great and was adjusted with a remote control.
The restaurant serves 3 delicious meals (the chef is outstanding), and has a bar (making the best margaritas in the city, by the way). If you are an early riser (like before 7:30 am), don't expect breakfast to be waiting for you. The morning at Hotel Villa Maria starts at a leisurely pace, which was fine with us. If we needed to get going, we just walked down the street to Cafe Habana.
The hotel has a unique layout in that all the rooms open up directly from the central courtyard, which also serves as a restaurant. However, this was never a problem for us. The rooms are very private and quiet. It was obvious to us that when the mansion was restored, particular care was taken to retain as much as possible from its former glorious days.

 The Westin Lobby - Open to the
Outside by Sandi-2004
And, It was a good location for us because it was at the south end of the island closer to the airport than the other hotels.

 Hotel Trinidad rooms (pic from
hotel website) by Redlats
There are a number of different styles of rooms - with or without attached washrooms and with or without airconditioning. Our room had two twin beds and the bathroom was clean. Generally we found that budget hotels supplied soap and a small towel, but no shampoo. I could survive with the one towel, but my wife brought her own towel to supplement the little hotel towel.
As we were not sure about the noise level in the city with open windows, we went for the air conditioning. The cost in March (off-season) was 250 pesos for the room.
Staying at the Hotel Trinidad includes a basic breakfast of toast, jam and coffee.
One thing was tricky - the advertising on the door of the hotel mentioned a swimming pool, but when we asked we found out they mean that you have access to the pool at a second hotel owned by the same people -- the Hotel Trinidad Galeria. Of course, not many people bother walking the few blocks to the other hotel, swimming, getting dressed again to walk back to your Hotel Trinidad.

There are discounts for some cards in some places. Ask for it at any travel agency or at the hotel.
I have found chap hostals or hotels in downtown. They are good and clean. The best is Hyatt i think.
There are options. Theme: OtherDirections: DOWTOWN

 The upstairs terrace by goddessdemaya
Luz is run by a wonderful bunch of women, headed by Madeline. It's a rambling old colonial building, with all sorts of nooks, crannies, rooms, decks, stairs, gardens and a great big pool. Every room is different and they all have kitchens.
Its right in the center of town, close to everything. But once you close the front door behind you, you can't tell. It's quiet and peaceful, except for the parrot who likes to make sure you know he's there. She gets all sorts of interesting guests, and you can choose to keep to yourself, or mingle in one of the many common rooms that are populated with couches, hammocks, chairs, games, and even a little free bar. You're on your honor not to drink everything that's there, and if you finish a bottle, you are expected to replace it.
The whole place runs with a loose sort of logic, and its a wonderful way to stay in the Yucatan.
Pool, every room has a kitchen, plus there's a big community kitchen and dining room. The nicest room, if you can get it, is the penthouse.

 My first view outside as a 29
yr old by cat-alunya
The room itself was large but had fluorescent lighting that illuminated the dusty scraped up walls and gave the room an overall glow of sick green and yellow, that pissed me off (I'm a sucker for good lighting). The floors were tiled in a beautiful manor but the colonial style twin wooden beds, while cute, were old and shakey. My emotions were mixed on the place, until I woke up the next morning, 29 years old and opened my door. The picture above was my first exterior view of life at 29 and it was breathtaking. Suddenly, my stomach felt better, the room looked more charming and I turned off the flurescent lights and let the misty sun sift through the door.
It was hotter than a *&^%^&*^#, but we retired to the open air state room on ground level that was now a small 7-8 table breakfast room with huge old portaits of the lineage that once owned and lived in this enormous estate.
All in all, nice breakfast, great look and for the price, you just can't beat it. But, if you're looking for a place that feels like the sheets are new, smells fresh and perhaps adorns the bathroom with cute little travel size soaps and shampoos...and has more than a yellowy-cigar smoke stained stand up shower- this is not the place! Still- what a memory. And a burger king that sells ponchos along with Whoppers close by ended up saving my sick stomach. Go figure. I just needed some good old American fast food.
Views and architecture are truly impressive.
Woman who runs the desk likes to collect pens, so bring one with you that is cool and you don't mind giving away.
Rooms are a little dingey- but so old world and cool it's hard to hate it for too long.
