This was my second stay. The first time I also had reservations at Hotel Caribe, but was sent to La Mision De Fray Diego. But this trip I had reserved the room directly here. The courtyards are pleasant and cooling. We enjoyed bird watching while eating breakfast. The restaurant is always comfortable and has some of the best local Yucatecan specialities. Arturo was our waiter most of the time, but Jose was very attentative as well. This is not a 4 star american resort. If you want that stay in Cancun where you won't even know you are not in the US! But I want to have an experience that is local, not something I can experience in Indianapolis. This is a nice local hotel that has a mix of clientele, with Mexican families, Mexican businessmen, European and North American visitors coming and going. We stayed 9 nights and had a very nice stay. There are only about 26 rooms and three levels. I will stay there again.

Sweet garden area, quiet, and walking distance to main square. Rooms were a bit dark... But comfortable. I will go again.

We originally had reservation at Hotel Caraibe, but hey were full. We were sent to La Mision de Fray Diego. It is a real gem, offering very comfortable room and a charming ambiance. The staff is most helpful in contacting taxis for excursions or the bus station for tickets. Great restaurant and fabulous location. We would definitely stay there if and when we go back to Merida. We recommended the Mision to friends going to Merida in the Spring.

We (2 families of 4) arrived in Merida during a huge storm. Rain was pouring very hard. We originally had a reservation for Hotel Caribe, but they didn't have any room for us. Not fun to hear. As Caribe works with La Mision Fray Diego, they sent us there. I am so glad we switched hotels. The Mision is a beautiful building, renovated with a lot of taste. The inside courtyard is peaceful and surrounded by lush greenery. The children spent hours in the swimming pool located amid the beautiful plants.
The restaurant is good and very convenient. We loved our breakfast by the garden before a busy day. The yogurt and fruit breakfast as well as the sopa de lima for dinner are delicious. And great margaritas, too! The staff was very gracious and helpful. My son had forgotten his small backpack (with an i pod in it) in the taxi that drove us from the airport. The young woman at the reception went out of her way to contact the taxi company and we got the backpack back. An excellent value.
