Top hotels in Yaxché

Villa Mercedes Merida, Curio Collection by Hilton

Gran Hotel Panamericana Merida
The pool was beautiful but not heated so we couldn’t swim in it. There are lots of chairs to sun bathe in. We were able to safely walk to many markets, plazas and restaurants within 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel.
