Casa del Balam is our “go to” hotel in Merida because of its perfect location near the outstanding Plaza Grande with all its restaurants, shops and cultural events. We love the historic charm of the hotel, its pool area and its restaurant.

Excellent location. The patio and pool areas are very nice. The rooms need an upgrade, particularly the bathrooms and closets. The staff is very helpful. It is not a 4 star hotel as listed, but it's convenient.

The priming room was amazing with the balcony. The room was just as posted. The staff were very courteous. The restaurant in/attached to the hotel served excellent food and the staff in both spoke English. The cleaning staff was very thorough. The grounds were well kept. We would definitely stay here again.
