Merida was OK, with a lot of things closed randomly. A bigger issue was our room, on a busy road and no soundproofing. It was also dated and a bit rough. This place has little charm except for the staff.

What is the best of a hotel? Location, location, location, and customer service. Casa del Balam has a great location, friendly staff, easy access to public transportation and taxis, walkable location to historic centro, restaurants in walking distance, it is dated, but very clean.

This is a charming colonial hotel located in Centro/St Lucia. We also stayed here in 2023. The staff was responsive when we communicated via WhatsApp both before and during our stay. After 3 days of great pressure and hot water, there was no hot water for a day, but these things happen in old historic buildings. Bathroom updates are needed and housekeeping could be a bit more thorough, but we like the place for a few nights’ stay. Recommended.

Colonial building, furniture and decorations. Restaurant's prices were higher than others surrounding the property. A discount for guests could invite us to eat there.
