Hacienda San Jose Merida

Painted blue walls, tall arches and doorways, and remnants of 18th-century buildings add character to this restored hacienda, once a sisal plantation. The hacienda’s large swimming pool is surrounded by trees and gardens. A hammock swings over the water, suspended from a large shade structure that covers one area of the pool.

The hotel features 15 guestrooms reconstructed in the original hacienda buildings. The rooms surround the hacienda’s main courtyard, and many of them offer private terraces and access to well-kept gardens. High ceilings and heavy wood furniture bring to mind the hacienda’s 18th-century origins. Bathrooms offer a large walk-in shower, as well as custom hardware and tile floors.

Rooms are available only in the American Breakfast Plan, which includes an à la carte breakfast of eggs, toast, juice, and coffee, as well as room accommodations; all other meals, snacks, drinks, taxes, and gratuities are excluded.
