Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful time at this hacienda. The room was large, with vaulted ceilings and a good, firm bed, making it spacious and comfortable. The hosts were gracious and accommodating, showing us around the lovely grounds and providing delicious dining options. The location was fantastic, close to downtown Merida and surrounded by beautiful plants and trees. However, the dining experience was a bit of a letdown with very poor quality offerings, although the setting and charm made up for it.
