El Palacito Secreto

Beautiful boutique hotel, hidden behind the yellow outside facade, is full of surprise. Amazing setting, lovely decor, inviting pool, made to order daily breakfast, a staff ready to accommodate every need/request and location, location, location!! Prior to arrival, the staff provided recommendations for local restaurants and Super Bowl watching which aided us in getting reservations at some of Merida’s best spots. This hotel is a special place that’s hard to leave for the day much less to return home. Book a trip and discover Merida, and choose a special room at El Palacito Secreto for your stay. You can thank me later. 😊

When looking for the perfect place to stay in Merida, look no further than the wonderful El Palacito Secreto. This centrally located hotel is an absolute gem. It lives up to its name, as once inside, you feel like you are in that secret garden, that you’ve just discovered. The beautiful landscaped gardens and pool are beyond expectations and you can feel the luxury and the serenity gives a very peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. The staff are wonderful as was our breakfast. We were sad to leave this wonderful haven in Merida and have plans already to return. El Palacito Secreto is one of the most wonderful places we have ever stayed.

A wonderful experience. We have stayed many times in Merida and this was by far the best hotel!! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Merida. The location is excellent in downtown Merida, and the receptionists were so helpful in recommending restaurants and place to visit. We will be back!

I loved it here so much that I stayed an extra night. Such beautiful details in the rooms and the property. Charming and whimsical, and quiet. Amazing service. Walkable to all the sights. I can’t recommend enough. I consider this my “spot” in Merida now.

12 on a scale of 10. This place was fantastic. Walked into a nothing looking place to a stunning courtyard. It looks just like the review pics. Beautiful antiques, gorgeous bar, this place is good. My room was up the grand staircase on the left. Beautiful antique curved bed and rooms are big. My shower was huge. Breakfast was included and had several options. Delicious juice. Very nice servers who didn't speak a lot of English but were lovely. Bar opens in the afternoon about 3:30 and it is stunning. Bartender very nice. If you need they have a comunal fridge you can use and a sink with filtered water if you need that as well. There are actually 2 pools at the hotel and they mostly stayed shadded during the day but the courtyard was breezy and peaceful. Last and most important was the front desk staff. These ladies were so lovely and helped us so much with everything from dinner reservations, bus schedules, private drivers. I have to use a Cpap for sleep and they even found me distilled water. Nothing was too much and always with a smile. I highly recommend visiting Merida and staying at this charming small hotel. Also, cenote Mucuyche is a must.
