The best location, walkable distance to everything you’d want, and in a very cool neighborhood. The pool is nice, everything is very clean. Friendly and helpful staff. 100-% recommend Hotel Luz! Mérida is such a beautiful town and the people are amazing. I traveled alone as a woman with my two kids and felt very safe.

It was nice. Great location-very close to the main plaza. We got the room that had three beds and a full kitchenette. It was called La Perla. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool is nice and the facilities are great. The included breakfast was exceptional, but it did take a long time. There was also secure parking, which was nice.

We loved this hotel right in the heart of Merida! Walking distance to the cathedral and main square, tons of restaurants and things to do nearby. Yet surprisingly it was really quiet at night, we got zero street noise and slept amazingly well. Rooms were clean with basic amenities, staff was very friendly as well.

La humedad en las habitaciones y la presencia de hongos en las paredes es inaceptable. Muestra un descuido importante en el mantenimiento del hotel. Inexplicablemente en el patio había una rata muerta. Los propietarios amables y responsables pero la experiencia de una noche fue pésima, me tuve que cambiar de hotel pues no había solución posible inmediata

We loved Merida and Luz en Yucantan hotel. Our party of four utilized three different rooms over four nights. The room La Puesta del Sol room was noisy at night due to music from the park a block away even on week nights. Both La Perla and La Sombra rooms faced the pool and were quiet at night. The former had a large patio in front with table and chairs. All beds were comfortable, showers had hot water and the breakfasts were delectable. We were served coffee, a small pastry, juice, a bowl of fruit or yogurt with granola, plus a main dish selection from a menu of about 10 choices. Felipe the bar tender made wonderful drinks. Chaya Maya restaurant was a favorite. Everyone was helpful and friendly.

I stayed in the Tulipán (tulip) room for 4 nights, and had such a restful stay. The included breakfasts were so good, and plentiful! Really set me up for the day every day. The reception staff were beyond helpful, and helped book a tour to Uxmal which picked me up from the hotel - I was telling others on my tour how great my hotel was haha! The room came with an indoor hammock as well as an outdoor patio space. It is walking distance to so many good restaurants, and things to see. I'm going to be recommending La Luz to all of my friends and family!

Esperaba encontrar una caja de seguridad en la habitación, pero no había.

The manager was really helpful and very professional. The room was like a 1950's US motel. Totally down at heel with ancient fittings that wobbled when touched. We have traveled the world for fourty years, and would have been glad of a room like this in Thailand in the early nineties. This is a total no-no in the 21st century. Mexico thinks that it can charge international tourust rates for incredibly sub-standard accomodation.

The pool was a great place to hang and relax as well. If you need help with activities the staff wil help and their recommendations are good and fairly priced. The breakfast and coffee is also tasty. We’ll be back. Hasta Lu!

This is a wonderful little hotel with extremely friendly and helpful staff as well as clean, comfortable accommodations. The owner/operator family clearly takes pride in the business as noted by the many little details. The hotel is very convenient to the old town square where many museums and cultural activities occur, but if you rent a car, they also have an arrangement with a manned parking area. The complimentary breakfast is also of exceptional quality with some of the best coffee we've had. If we return to Merida, we will definitely stay at the Luz en Yucatan again!

Loved our stay here. Easily the best place in our month-long trip in Mexico! We turned up having had all our cash/cards stolen on a long bus trip. Donard and staff were totally understanding, amazing hosts and lent us some cash whilst we got ourselves sorted. The hotel was gorgeous, stunning decor and artworks/textiles. Beautiful and comfortable bedroom two hammocks indoor and on the balcony. A fridge, air con AND drinking water! Delicious breakfast included, plentiful and lots of choice. Julisa, Eva and team are amazing - we particularly liked the homemade muffins, lovely touch! For the price point, you cannot beat Luz en Yucatan. Everything exceeded our expectations! Still dreaming of relaxing by the pool with a cracking Mezcalita! Will be the first stop on our next trip!
