It was beautiful. I loved the style. Locations was great. Very pretty. The only thing I would feedback is . The quality of the mattresses , seems like old and I was not able to turn off the light of the air conditioning , not letting me sleep well. Other than that, super cute hotel

Lovely boutique hotel, an oasis of calm and very helpful staff. Good breakfast every morning and we had an excellent stay for a week, using it as a base to explore all round Merida. Highly recommended

The Secret Palace was truly an oasis of calm and beauty in an otherwise plain corner of Merida. The room was lovely, the garden serene and the staff charming. Highly recommended.

This is an exceptional space. It truly feels like you are staying at a palace. Among the finest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Amazing staff, amazing amenities, amazing space. Close to city center. Close to restaurants. A SPA. Wonderful breakfast. Sexy bar. Laundry. Everyone speaks English, if that’s your thing. If you don’t stay here, you may hate yourself.

The hotel was so close to great restaurants and all the areas you should go see. All the downtown attractions were a 10-15 min pleasurable walk. The snacks and water and coffee/ tea always available was amazing too! Definitely one of the nicest places I’ve stayed…. The room was so romantic!

Charming hotel but not the best location

Lovely hotel with excellent staff. Delicious breakfast. Location was a little out of the way. More than a half mile to the major squares, restaurants and shopping. Pretty much nothing in the
immediate area. That said Ubers are very inexpensive if you don’t want to walk.

Pros and cons

Gorgeous small hotel about 1 mile from Centro. Nothing nearby, a long walk to restaurants, shops , etc. excellent staff, great breakfast included, pool too cold to swim in, showers terrible (low water pressure and shower head way too high. I’m 5’4, was about 2 ft above my head so I never could get hair rinsed).

There were 3 big C. ROACHES in the room. I had a terrible night and no they didn't even refund me. The pool was not operational. I have a picture of a big roach on the bed if anyone wants to see it.

This place is a hidden gem! Its a real hidden palace. The staff was extremely helpful and always available for advice. The bed was comfortable and showers luxurious. Food was delicious. The place was quite and well kept. My only problem was that wifi was not reaching my room so had to walk across the hallway to get connected

The name says it all. The hotel is barely noticable on the street unless you are looking for it. When you walk in it opens into a beautiful courtyard that screams \"relaxation!\". The staff was wonderful and helped us schedule a COVID test to return back home. There was breakfast in the morning to start our day and a nice pool for a swim to end our day. We received a nice massage from the spa too. Note to travelers Merida is VERY hot compared to oceanfront cities. Drink plenty of water.

This hotel in the US would cost over $1000 per night . It’s such a beautiful boutique hotel, I felt like royalty when staying there. Beautifuly furnished , landscaping and pool areas rival a mansion.

Great place to stay

The hotel is well kept and updated with modern features. The bath is excellent as well as the staff. Bring a mosquito repellent and you will be set. Very clean and warm staff. Highly recommended!
