Merida is a wonderful place, but Hotel Maria Jose made it even easier to enjoy. They provided everything we needed while we were there. It is located just one block away from the main area of Centro Historico, and this ended up giving just the right mix of privacy while still giving us the ability to walk to anywhere we wanted to go. My family and I don't speak Spanish that well, but the staff was patient and accommodating as they helped us. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the pool was a great way to relax after a long day in the sun. In addition, they converted our US dollars into pesos, set up taxis for us, gave directions and recommendations, and served a delicious breakfast. Last but not least, we were able to book amazing tours directly through the front desk. All in all, they helped give us a fabulous vacation!
