The area is beautiful, the guest houses have EVERYTHING that you need (and more!), and the property owner, Marty, is AMAZING. Marty went above and beyond to make sure that my stay was comfortable and I attribute my enjoyable time in Sisal to his hospitality. I will 100% return to Sisal one day and when I do, I'm staying at Sisal sur mer!

My husband and I had an amazing time in Villa Merida. The place is beautiful, clean and very…read morespecial Airbnb. I took videos and photos to share with family and friends of how beautiful it was. The owners are very nice and welcoming. Also, I wanted to share that after 3 days of leaving this place I noticed that a pair of gold earrings where missing. We contacted the Villa Merida, since that was the last place I remember I had them. The owner responded quickly to let us know that he will be asking the staff. After few days and we were already back home (LA), the owner contacted us to let us know that the earrings were found and that he would help us to have them back. Most shipping companies don't allow you to send gold, we also, don't know or have friends in that city so to get them back was complicated. Finally, the owner found out that one woman that was staying at the Villa, was a flight attendant living in LA. He contacted us immediately to see if we were OK, to have them returned with her. I can't thank enough the owners of the Villa Merida for everything. We will definitely return and recommend this place.

Beautiful grounds and old home. Boorish onsite host. He was an absolute prick on our departure day…read more We had an unfortunate early flight and due to the nature of his accommodations and the coffee pot I woke him up. The early morning confrontation sans coffee really dampened my stay.

Due to a delayed flight, I was delayed arriving into Merida, therefore to Villa Verde. I was…read moreinformed by Robert (the owner) that I would have to find accommodations for my initial night if I did not arrive by 10pm. His email and our subsequent conversation made it clear that there are absolutely no exceptions. Additionally, I could not arrange for a friend to retrieve the keys on my behalf. Per their policy, I had paid for 50% of my stay. This 10pm deadline rule is unfeeling, unwelcoming, and does not allow for a myriad of factors beyond any traveler's control when making an international trek. I will never return to this establishment but feel a responsibility to warn others.

This is a brand-new hotel on the north side of the city right on the loop. The City Express hotels…read moreare usually simple but nice. I stayed here March 2-5 and was impressed. While rooms are minimalist and on the small side, they are also quite comfortable with AC, wifi, free parking, pool, a nice breakfast, a security guard, cable TV, and provide handicapped accessible rooms. The facilities are kept spotlessly clean. The staff is warm and efficient. The beds are comfortable. The bathrooms are supplied with plenty of towels, and a generic soap and shampoo. Pillows and bed linens are comfy. Breakfast included: chilaquiles, eggs with hotdog slices, beans, salsa, cereal, fruit, juice, milk and coffee. The fresh brew coffee machine is available 24/7. There is a convenience store on the other side of the loop expressway, the equivalent of a couple of short blocks. The view from the hotel (in the back) overlooks the pool area which includes a couple of hammocks. Sun shines into the pool area in the morning only; the rest of the day the building shields it from direct sun. Over the wall there is a residential area. At the moment there is some temporary road construction directly behind the hotel. The windows do not open, but the air exhaust vent in the bathroom combined with the AC keeps the air fresh. It's not a luxury hotel but is great for the business traveler or a family looking for a clean, pleasant experience that's easy on the wallet. They are building a Starbucks and a Little Ceasar's Pizza next door.

I just returned from a vacation to Merida, Mexico- my first time visit to this area of the Yucatan…read more I didn't know what to expect when I arrived at Ochenta y Dos Bed and Breakfast, admittedly, I did not research accommodations since my travel partner made all the arrangements. As soon as our Uber pulled up, I was impressed by the technology of the security system; but don't let this intimidate you, Merida is one of the safest places in Mexico to visit. As soon as we arrived, I received the warmest welcome from our host, Dave. If the welcome was any indication of things to come, I knew I was in for a great time. Once we settled in, we had a chance to meet our other host, Patrick, who was equally welcoming. We sat and talked with them and met the three dogs- Max, MoMo, and Milo. We got to know a little history of how the place came to be and was very impressed with how Dave & Pat made their dream of Ochenta y Dos come to fruition (and glad they did). When you walk into Ochenta y Dos, you are blown away by the architectural beauty. In the center of the complex is an oasis- a pool fed by a cenote and warmed to a perfect temperature and surrounded by beautiful tropical plants. Chaises and umbrellas are positioned around the pool- a perfect place to read a book. Speaking of which, Dave, who is also an author, has a few of his books for sale on site (I bought both and I can't wait to read)! The pool also is big enough to swim laps or relax on a pool float. Our room was perfectly decorated with all the amenities you could need including a mini refrigerator, coffee machine, sink, cups, silverware, hairdryer, etc. And then came the walk-in shower... oh my goodness! A very open, expansive area with a rain shower head, surrounded by tropical plants and open sky above (screened to prevent bugs)- it felt like you were taking a shower in the jungle. On the rooftop terrace, there are many seating options: chaises, sofa, fire pit, tables with chairs, bar, kitchen area- there is even a workout room! Breakfast was delicious- eggs with spinach, peppers and onions, hashbrowns, fresh fruit with Greek yogurt and honey, and homemade banana bread that was to die for! When it came time to venture into town, Dave, who is also a travel guide, recommended a wonderful restaurant, Trattoria Di Alfredo. Overall, I would highly recommend Ochenta y Dos to anyone traveling to Merida (or the surrounding area). I will definitely be back to visit and see my new friends, Dave and Pat.

Casa Ochenta y Dos is the best !!! We felt right at home…read moreimmediately. Pat & Dave made sure we had everything we needed. We stayed in a very comfortable room with a king size bed. The room has a large bathroom with a great shower. A few steps away from our room is the pool. It felt great to take a dip after a long day of sightseeing. This charming B&B has lots of areas to sit, relax and take in the experiences of the day. We highly recommend Casa Ochenta y Dos.
