We stayed two nights at Hotel Caribe in Merida. The room was a good size, but showing its age, as was the entire hotel. The beds were older, as well. A fairly large slump in the middle of the mattress. Water pressure in the shower was very weak. The courtyard needs more tending to, and the entire place could do with a coat of paint. Breakfast is not included, so we paid for breakfast in the hotel's restaurant, which was very good. Nice location in Merida, but probably would not stay there again.

This was our second stay at this hotel. For the price, it was a decent hotel. We paid $70 a night including taxes for a family of four. We got a room on the second floor. It was a colonial style hotel with a courtyard in the middle. The rooms were dark but worked for us as we all stayed up late and slept until 11;00Am. We wanted to change and looked at the rooms on the third floor overlooking the pool. However, those rooms reminded us of a motel room. Very cold and bare. So I loved the colonial style, high ceiling room #30. There were chairs in the hallway and I loved sitting out there and reading while my teenagers slept. The location of the hotel was absolutely perfect. So convenient. We hardly ate at the hotel as there were so many options nearby. It was quite convenient to get tea and mexican hot chocolate. Late mornings some musicians come and ply in the dining room. My husband really enjoyed this and would listen to the musicians who were quite good. the highlight of our trip was going to the cenotes (water holes) in Cuzuma. Not to be missed.

We stayed 7 weeks in The Caribe. Last year we stayed 5 weeks.
Next year we hope to stay 12 weeks--Same Hotel each year.
The entire hotel experience at The Caribe is great.
We have been 100% satisfied each visit-- with all our friends at the hotel.
Rosie, Martin and all personel on the front desk were wonderful.
We would come in each day from maya ruins, art classes, market, or what ever and these guys would translate everything we could not figure out.
Ms Dorles was also great as the sales manager for the property.
Having all three of these associates being fluent in english was a life saver.

The room staff kept us organized and clean.Once again language was not an issue.
The courtyard was maintained perfectly. We would sit in the courtyard next to the toucans and paint in the evenings.

This hotel in the center of everything happening in Merida.
This place is a must.

dark, dingy tiny rooms! Central downtown location and that's the only positive thing you can say about the place. Food was dreadful and towels were threadbare. The a/c had two temperatures...off or freezing.
