Spa Hotels in Merida

Nice hotel with friendly service. I've stayed in Fiesta Americana hotels a lot and know generally what to expect. This one lives up to the high Americana standards. It is in a good location, near good restaurants, but not in the central area of town. Beds are very comfortable and rooms are nice. The bar had live music on Friday night and the band was great. Across the street is an outdoor restaurant that also had live music at night. The first floor of the Fiesta Americana hotel is all shops, so the actual hotel lobby is on the next floor. At the top of the escalator, in the lobby, there will be one or two people who will approach you and offer to help you with anything. They are very nice, but their goal is to sell you something like a timeshare. We refused to talk to them about that, so we never got the full explanation. We also got a phone call in our room, from the same people, telling us they had a free gift for us. We did ask these people for recommendations of local activities and they were very nice and helpful. Included was a light breakfast and snacks/drinks on the fifth floor. This was very convenient and the food was simple, but good. The only real surprise we had was at check out. We found that there is a charge for the self serve coffee in the room. I never use anything from the mini-bar or anything in the room that has an extra cost. I do not remember seeing anything about the coffee costing something. So many other places it is free/included. The hotel did reduce our charge for the coffee, but be aware that there is a charge.

We opted to get a room with two beds on the second floor, which was quite spacious and light. It was also away from the downstairs hub bub during breakfast. The beds were very comfortable, the bathroom attractive with plenty of hot water (although as in other places we stayed, the water has to run a little while to get hot). I liked that there were lots of places to put things, and the room was a pleasant place to retreat to at the end of the day. There were several outdoor seating areas, which we took advantage of since I sleep a bit later than my husband, who jumps on his computer early. The location is quite good, within easy walking distance of the main square, Paseo del Montejo Avenue, and many restaurants. One in particular, just down the street called Urban Bistro is a find! We ate there twice in our three days in Merida. We had a couple issues with the breakfast - not getting our orders right, and not very good coffee. The staff are lovely and very helpful - several speak very good English, which was helpful.

We flew into Merida airport for the first time and liked the small size with fast customs upon entry. Stayed at Casa del B for two nights before heading out for our travels. Five states in five weeks for our driving adventure! Location is everything in Merida and we were right by several parks! Unfortunately there is a lot of road construction going on in town. The hotel has two small elevators and only one goes up to floor 6. Just quirky. There are many interesting antiques and artwork all around. The courtyard has a fountain, and a small dining area. The room was basic but well worth the bargain price per night. There is a refrigerator, blow dryer and soft towels, although no hand towel in the room. The pillows were hard but the mattress in our room was VERY comfortable and that is most important for us. The staff is friendly and helpful. It was nice to see that Diego still works there. We have stayed here before and had a newer room on a previous visit, but you get what you pay for! The windows do not open and there was a musty smell in the room, but the a c helped with the odor. Parking was available for a small fee. Most impressive though, was all the custom iron work. The light fixtures, headboard, and mirror trim was all hand formed. Even the lampshade was hand painted. The doors and furniture had heavy wood trim, and the closet doors were fancy. The attached restaurant has recently been updated too. It was a great value for our short stay. Btw it is across from the theatre which had a fire and is not open. The symphony was moved to a smaller theatre. I really hope they can restore it, it was so beautiful.

What a hidden GEM. The location is so perfect. There are restaurants all over the place. Have never stayed at such a comfortable friendly place. The staff is outstanding and so very helpful. The rooms are very clean and the beds and linens are so comfortable, slept like a baby. Quiet and serene is a perfect description. The interior decor is absolutely beautiful and the courtyards are wonderful. We were only there for 5 nights and wish it could have been a lot longer. Starting out, you are greeted at the door, enter into a very nice reception area, signed in and you receive any and all information you might request. You then walk into a sitting room with tables for four and large comfortable chairs (we found it the perfect place after dinner for a relaxing cold cerveza) with a beautiful view of the courtyard. The rooms are extremely nice, very clean, well decorated and appointed. You get free Wi-fi and wonderful peace and quiet. It is an adults only hotel. Eating establishments are a challenge as there are only 104 restaurants within .3 of a mile of the Treehouse Boutique Hotel. To top that off, just a couple of doors down the street there is a wonderful Bakery & Cafe (Same owners as the Hotel) . I definitely think anyone will enjoy their stay at this hotel. I know we certainly did and we have every intention of going back. We found that not only the staff, but the local people were so nice, polite and amongst the friendliest that we have experienced in our many travels.
