Excellent location, great service, very good value,m. The only issue is the mosquitos. Bring off spray as the mosquitos are everywhere.

Cigno Hotel (Adults Only)
The hotel is really nice and the staff are great. Just bear in mind that in Mérida you almost always need a car to get around and the hotel is not near restaurants or busy areas, so you will definitely need a car or a taxi.
