Luz en Yucatán

Top choice in Mérida

Luz en Yucatán has a perfect downtown location, 15 individually decorated rooms, fabulous common areas and a wonderful pool-patio area out back that combine to make it one of Mérida's very best accommodations. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic owners Tom and Donard and their helpful, English-speaking staff assist with every need and can arrange tours and activities.

A free tasting bar lets you sip tequila, triple sec or anise liqueur any time you feel like it, while a new coffee shop was being built at the time of our last visit.
