Chelem Hotels, Mérida

"My husband and two children ages 9 and 12 had a wonderful time! They really enjoyed the short walk to the ocean and swimming in the pool. The rooftop has a nice breeze at night and my husband enjoyed watching a movie up there on his laptop. It was the perfect place for us to take day trips. We made it to the Bio Reserve in Celestun and saw flamingos. All in all a wonderful 4 nights! We hope to return!"

"Our trip could not have been better due to the beautiful house and the nicest owners. The home is perfectly located in a quiet area, yet so close to everything you could need. Walking out of your door onto the sand every morning, seeing the turquoise water, is like living in a dream. We spent so many days just lying on the beach, or under the shaded area on lounge chairs, and wading into the water whenever we needed to cool off. Having the pool was also great, since we could just stare out at the ocean while relaxing in the water. The beach was never crowded. Some days we saw 15-20 people TOTAL, some days we saw NONE! It felt really private and so relaxing. Not overrun at all. I cannot say enough nice things about the owners, Lizette and Gino. They are so kind, very responsive about recommendations, and they truly want to help you have an amazing trip. They love the area, and they love sharing it. The nearby restaurants were great, everything from casual breakfast places, to very high end cuisine, and everything in between. We could easily buy fresh fruit, basic groceries, or stop by the 24-hour pharmacy for any needs. The area is very convenient for everything. We ventured to Progresso for meals a few times, which was very fun, and then we were happy to be back in our sweet quiet spot in Chilem. Can't recommend this home enough! We can't wait to go back. "
