Hotels near Plaza Montejo, Merida

This Intercontinental is rather different from usual. The location is great but was unexpected that it will be just along the noisy street in an ancient building which before used to be another hotel. So it is rather old (in perception not in amenities). The rooms are specific but good and comfortable. We've checked the Hyatt which is right after the corner but that Hyatt is luxury and as everywhere. And this Intercontinental is special - you feel as if you are in colonial times. The hotel is narrow (in corridors).The open door pool is tiny. The breakfast selection is good but not so wide. So general impression is very good. The personnel is very friendly but not so much and good speaking English. So some time we needed in order to adopt ourselves to this experience but generally we are pretty much satisfied. We've stayed here for 8 night so can judge. :-).

Beautiful, elegant property, large pool is gorgeous, very relaxing and calming, very romantic, excellent service, I liked that more locals come here to visit, it doesn't feel touristic, has more authentic feel. The property has obviously the hacienda style but also mixed with Asian style, which I love. The spa was beautiful inside, and also an amazing experience, was second best massage I have ever had, the Banyan Tree in Bangkok is better, the experience was similar but not on the same level as Bangkok. The food was excellent, flavorful (except the verde chilaquiles, a little bland, but that probably not the region's specialty), the pibil and lime soup was best I ever had next to Kinich restaurant, I loved the molletes, it was really good, different style than Mexico City but very good and filling, loved the pickled tomatoes on top. I love that they support the local community and buy food from them, this is really nice that the hotel gives back to the community. My suggestions, since they are expanding is add free environmentally safe citrus spray to guests for mosquitoes like they do in Thailand, we stayed in the Xcanatun room with private pool, maybe have that pool a little heated, the bathtub in the room really for just one person, maybe make it big enough for couples to take a bath together, that would be really nice. Also, I am very picky about my cocktails, I get it, this location is in an obscure place, but it is part of Banyan Tree Group, people are paying a lot for the rooms, they need to up their game where drinks are concerned, why can't I get a mezcal sour (with egg white) - maybe they should compare with Mexico City's Four Season's Fifty Mils Bar and Carlotta at the Ritz Carlton, drinks like Lola Bunny with carrot juice, habernero syrup, beet shrub, lemongrass, gin or spicy cucumber mezcal sour at the Ritz, with chapulin salt - the cocktails at Xcanatun they think adding Sprite to cocktails makes it a good combination, Sprite is worst thing you can add to a cocktail. Also you shake the cocktails with ice but generally if you put ice in the cocktail it will melt and water down the drink. Albeit, my husband said this is the best room he has ever stayed at, that this was better than Qualia in Hamilton Island....

Hotel is located very near to the center, offers free parking and the staff is very nice. For the price you should be satisfied. However, for the 4 stars claimed, there are few areas of improvement. The isolation is bad, you can hear all other guests. The drains are kind of clogged so water keeps gathering in the bathroom. The bed, although it‘s advertised as a double bed, can hardly accommodate two persons, even if they are hugging. There were also some bugs in the room, not cockroaches but still, so there is a need of some measure there. All in all, a good place if you want good value for money and be central in Merida.

My husband and I went to Merida and were so happy with our boutique hotel choice. The rooms at Diez Diez are well designed and comfortable. The rooftop bar is beautiful at sunset! The location was exceptional—right off the Paseo de Montejo. The best part of the experience was the staff. Eduardo greeted us every day by name and made great selections for both our food and beverages. He is a delight, both personal and professional. He made our trip better! Viridiana was also cheerful and helpful at reception each day. All the staff was amazing. We will go back!

El lugar se ve lindísimo por internet. Así que reservamos nuestra cena de año nuevo con más de trés semanas de anticipación y llegamos muy emocionados por celebrar el año nuevo en R&X. Decepción absoluta!! Para comenzár, me preguntaron por alergias y les comuniqué por email (semanas antes!) mi alergia al aguacate. El primer platillo que me trajeron tenia aguacate. Les acordé de mi alergia y el mesero regresó con el mismo plato diciendome que no se podía hacer nada porque ya venía mesclado el aguacate en el platillo. ”Pero si tengo alergia y se los comenté hace trés semanas.” No pues, no sé... fue su actitud... y esa actitud continuo toda la noche. La cena de cinco tiempos nos llego completamente dispareja y con muy mala actitud. Pagamos muy bien y esperabamos a cambio lo prometido: una experiencia genial. Y NO fue lo que recibimos en ningun momento. No gasten su dinero aquí. Sólo tienen la fama... pero la realidad es una decepción y un robo por lo que recibes, la verdád. Muy mala administración... porque todo esto proviene de gerencia y refleja en el servicio de meseros. Un robo y nos dejaron con una MUY mala memoria de Año Nuevo. This place looks great on the internet. But, stay away. Spend your money elsewhere. We had a horrible experience for New Year's. A complete let down. I made reservations 3 weeks ahead and they still could not get it right: the service and attitude were horrible. One example of how the night went: They asked weeks before for any allergies. I let them know about my avocado allergy. What do I get for my first course of this5 course meal? Avocado. I explained to the waiter about my allergy. He came back with the same plate saying there was nothing they could do because the avocado was mixed in to the dish. ”But, I have an allergy, and I let you all know about this 3 weeks ago.” He shrugged, and that was basically his attitude the entire night. None of the courses came out at the same time. Mine (the vegan menu) continually came out much later than everyone else. He never offered us water or checked on us... I have never written a negative review, but I need to do so in this case because we felt robbed by this place: both financially and robbed of having a good New Year's experience. The bad management is obvious and in trickles down to the service at the table. Like another reviewer said: spend your money elsewhere! This place has beautiful pictures and the fame of enveloping you in a luxurious experience, which it may have had a while ago. But, it's not true now. Don't buy they hype: it's false.

The hotel is conveniently located in the city centre. The facilities are perfect, the catering service is also very good, and the other services of the hotel are also very good. The hotel has complete supplies and is easy to use. The overall sanitary conditions of the hotel are very good. I am quite satisfied with this. I still wanted to live for two more days, but the room was booked by someone else. I couldn’t continue to live and I had to change to another hotel.

Muy buena relación calidad precio, lugar céntrico pero tranquilo, el hotel ya tiene algunos años pero estaba limpio y todo funcionaba perfectamente.

Just spent 2 nights here but found the hotel to be well connected with free parking, shopping and restaurants; what else do you need? It is actually connected to a shopping center that has a Walmart. We ate at two of the three restaurants located in the mall and found others that we tried as well. Nice décor and good size comfortable rooms. Hope to return one day.

I stayed at this hotel at the beginning and end of my trip to Progreso, February 28th and March 30th, as I was arriving late and departing early. Both of my rooms were impeccably clean, the amenities were provided and well stocked with towels. The closets are huge and contain an iron and a safe large enough for a laptop. Upon my first check-in I was advised the hours of the restaurant and was politely asked that if I was planning on bringing in food or alcohol from outside to please consume it in my room and not in the restaurant. This is not an unreasonable request, one would not walk into a hotel restaurant at home and sit down with a pizza and six pack. I had a comfortable night's rest and a delicious breakfast at the restaurant in the morning. Check out was noon and my ride was not arriving until 2:30 so they kindly stored my luggage and I enjoyed sitting by the pool while I waited. My second visit was for my return flight, I checked in just after 3:00 and was offered a wake up call and arrangement of a taxi to take me to the airport. I spent my last day of vacation enjoying a late lunch/early supper and a couple of cold beverages poolside before heading to my room to turn in early. My wake up call came precisely @4:00 and my taxi was there @5:00 as requested. I would definitely return to this hotel and would recommend it, the staff are outstanding, the hotel is spotless and the restaurant food and service are fabulous. Masks were required at all times in public areas, unless you were eating or drinking, this policy was adhered to by all staff and guests.
