Hotels near El Porvenir Park, Merida

This was my second time staying here. On this trip, I needed a very early check in and as a globalist, they made my room available super early which I appreciated after my red eye. Breakfast and the property are really nice. Lots of construction as they are redoing a large part of the hotel. Pool area is mediocre. Staff is great. Regular rooms are mediocre but the suites (which I stayed in on a previous trip) are amazing! Hotel location is decent depending what you want to do. Overall had a great stay.

The facilities are new and sanitary. They are cleaned every day. The staff are super patient and very good. I went straight to check in at 8 o'clock that morning and didn't say anything. I gave full marks to this point. The location of the hotel is pretty good in Merida. It’s probably more convenient to drive next to the main street of the boulevard and not far from the bus station. I don’t know why Ctrip scores so low.

This hotel has water issues like everyone is talking about. They have to tank the water in and they constantly run out. It ran out on a Sunday so they could not get more water. They blamed the restaurant that rents out of their building for leaving a tap on that didn’t help fight that we couldn’t shower for a day. Then the days we could shower the water was always cold. I overheard them giving gas that were definitely from Mexico Free breakfast for the inconvenience but for the Canadian American guest they offered nothing. I called them out on it and said this was unfair. The front desk was completely rude said it wasn’t their problem and that their manager wasn’t in on Sunday to take care of this, and that was from a previous day, I spoke to those guest and they said that’s not true and that they got it because of the cold water and lack of water issues. The location is good. The hotel is clean, but it is falling apart. Nothing works and the toilet can’t flush paper which meant you had to put dirty paper towels in the garbage next to the toilet. They also try to charge you for everything like if you lose a room key which cost them pennies they want to charge you a fee for issuing a new one and you don’t even get a second one so you constantly have to be with your people they also threaten to charge us for taking the towels to the beach, and then upon arrival, they said that my kids because they were over 12 had to pay I said you had to buy another room. I would stick to the chain hotels from the US as they would never treat their customers like this customer service in Mexico is really sad. the only highlight was the cleaning staff. The hotel is extremely clean and they are very attentive.

We stayed here for one night in December 2022. The hotel is very well located, just a couple of blocks from the main square. All around there are plenty of shops and restaurants. We stayed on the 10th floor and there was little noise. We stayed in what I think is called a ”studio” room, which was quite small: not much room around the bed. Other people in our group stayed in rooms with two double beds and their rooms were quite large. Overall, the hotel was ok, but not flash.

Stayed 2 nights here. Here are the pros and cons. PROS * LOCATION - The Zocalo is only a couple of hundred meters up the road so this was in prime location. The central ado bus station was within walking distance although for memory was about a kilometre and a half walk so you may want to consider a taxi. * AIR CONDITIONING - Worked well * HOT WATER - Worked * WIFI - Worked and didn’t drop out CONS * NO NATURAL LIGHT - Our room had one window which opened onto the communal corridor so there was no natural light. This was not advertised at time of booking. * SECURITY - The large window that opened onto the communal corridor couldn’t be locked. This meant when we were out of the room someone could easily just open it up and get into our room. I was very uncomfortable with this and made reception aware. They sent someone up to fix it but it wasn’t fixed when we returned. I noted the room opposite ours had the same issue when I tested its window. * NOT CLEAN - When we went to use the pool there was a thick algae bloom and scum on the surface. It was not swimmable. * NOISE - This hotel seems to have a relationship with large tour operators. As such large groups of people come in the afternoon and leave early in the morning. They made a lot of noise in the mornings when they would leave and this went through the walls. Overall we weren’t happy with our stay and wouldn’t recommend this to others.

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.

I stay in this hotel twice ! Very good and the staff very nice Big size and near downtown have many restaurants in there and many taco shop can eat ! Very good 🌈

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.
