Lonely Planet Mexico. This urban oasis exudes peace and tranquility. The owners and gracious hosts, Nicole and Nelson, have transformed a once-dilapidated home into a virtual Architectural Digest centerfold. The colors - from the paint on the walls to the flowers in the courtyard - are orchestrated to evoke just the right mood, and every detail (including the quiet air-con and not-too-soft, not-too-hard beds) has been attended to. What this hotel doesn't have is distractions: no phone, no TV, no noise. Healthy breakfasts ($8) and organic coffee are served at the poolside patio. Lonely Planet Yucatan is another highly recommended place. The former private residence has been completely remodeled and painted in lovely colors. Its 10 ample, simply furnished rooms have super-comfortable beds (one king or two queens), tile floors, beautiful sinks, great bathrooms and plenty of natural light. One of the two courtyards has a small swimming pool, the other a fountain. The well-traveled, charming hosts prepare large, delicious breakfasts and make their guests feel like part of the family. Lonely Planet - Yucatan e Chiapas (in Italian)... In questo albergo e stata prestata attenzione a ogni minimo dettaglio, dal silenzioso sistema dellaria condizionata ai letti molto confortevoli. Se ce qualcosa che manca, sono i motivi di distrazione: niente telefono, niente televisione e niente rumori. Viene servita una sana prima colazione in cui anche il caffe e preparato con una miscela proveniente da coltivazioni biologiche. Lonely Planet - Mexique (in French) Les sympathiques proprietaires ont transforme une maison delabree en demeure de charme. Tout respire le calme dans cette oasis au coeur de la ville, et chaque chose a fait lobjet dune attention particuliere (lits parfaits, clim. silencieuse, etc.) Ici, il ny a pas de bruit, mais pas de telephone ni de TV non plus. Dans le patio en bord de piscine, vous pourrez prendre un solide petit dejeuner ou cafe bio. Frommers - Cancun, Cozumel the Yucatan...This is a quiet courtyard hotel with beautiful rooms and a good location 3 blocks north of the main plaza. The English-speaking owners have invested their money in the right places, going for high quality mattresses, good lighting, quiet air-conditioning units, lots of space, and good bathrooms with strong showers. What they didnt invest in were TVs, which adds to the serenity of the place. Higher prices are for the seven rooms with air-conditioning, but all units have windows with good screens and get ample ventilation. Breakfast is served in one of the two attractive courtyards. Fodors - Cancun, Cozumel,Yucatan Peninsula A Lebanese-Uruguayan couple runs this hotel in a residential area downtown. The house has Mediterranean accents and spacious rooms off a long passageway. The original thick walls and tile floors are well preserved; rooms have custom-made hardwood furniture. A large patio in the back holds the breakfast nook, a small kidney-shaped swimming pool, and an old mango tree. Theres also a pond with a delightful waterfall and fountain surrounded by fruit and flowering trees. Hunters - Yucatan, Cancun, Cozumel It took only two years for the owners to completely restore and convert one of Merida's old homes into an intimate and immaculate new hotel. But it took much longer searching through Spain and Mexico to find just the right property to fulfill their dream. Painted in bright hacienda blue, the large comfortable rooms here are super clean with separate washrooms from the bathrooms - a plus. A small kidney-shaped pool, located in the back garden where there's a cantina-like juice bar that also offers full breakfast is very inviting. Beautiful Talavera tile and attention to every detail, the MedioMundo does nothing by half. Moon Handbooks - Yucatan Peninsula Another excellent choice is Hotel MedioMundoa more hacienda-style guesthouse just a few blocks away. Within high, cheery, blue painted walls are an attractive courtyard with fountain and a small inviting pool and patio area, where a bar serves light fare and fresh juices. All 12 rooms are simple but far from plain, with thick, brightly painted walls, deep beds, and large spotless bathrooms (and no TVs or telephones). Beautiful tile floors are from the original construction. The friendly owners can arrange various trips, including such alternative options as Mayan shamans, and natural medicine. Cadogan Guides - Yucatan Mayan Mexico A very attractive small hotel that has been created in an old Merida house of Uruguayan-Lebanese owners Nelson and Nicole, who arrived here after living in many parts of the world. Spacious rooms are decorated in warm, tropical colours, and there's a small patio pool with cafe-bar alongside where delicious fresh breakfasts are served. A warmly individual welcome also marks it out from many of Merida's older, more routine hotels. The Rough Guide - Mexico A much-better-than-average book exchange shelf points to the interesting clientele (and owners) at this beautiful and hospitable small hotel. Ten colourful tile-floor rooms (fan or a/c) have splendid bathrooms and pillow top beds: theres also a pool.
