Hotels near El Pez Gato, Merida

I stayed at this hotel at the beginning and end of my trip to Progreso, February 28th and March 30th, as I was arriving late and departing early. Both of my rooms were impeccably clean, the amenities were provided and well stocked with towels. The closets are huge and contain an iron and a safe large enough for a laptop. Upon my first check-in I was advised the hours of the restaurant and was politely asked that if I was planning on bringing in food or alcohol from outside to please consume it in my room and not in the restaurant. This is not an unreasonable request, one would not walk into a hotel restaurant at home and sit down with a pizza and six pack. I had a comfortable night's rest and a delicious breakfast at the restaurant in the morning. Check out was noon and my ride was not arriving until 2:30 so they kindly stored my luggage and I enjoyed sitting by the pool while I waited. My second visit was for my return flight, I checked in just after 3:00 and was offered a wake up call and arrangement of a taxi to take me to the airport. I spent my last day of vacation enjoying a late lunch/early supper and a couple of cold beverages poolside before heading to my room to turn in early. My wake up call came precisely @4:00 and my taxi was there @5:00 as requested. I would definitely return to this hotel and would recommend it, the staff are outstanding, the hotel is spotless and the restaurant food and service are fabulous. Masks were required at all times in public areas, unless you were eating or drinking, this policy was adhered to by all staff and guests.

Gamma is rated a 4 Star, it may be a 4 Star in Merida, but it would be a 2 Star in Cancun. I couldn't get a soda at 6 am because the kitchen is closed until 7. Food is served 7 to 10, 12 to 3 and 6 to 9 pm and there is nothing in between. There is no refrigerator in the rooms, on the 3 rd or 4th use, there was rusty water from the sink, I didn't ask, but I don't recall seeing an ice machine. If you like a soft bed this is the place, we were on the 7th floor with 2 queen beds and a view of the city, there was nothing spectacular about the room, but it was clean and comfortable with ample hot water for a nice shower. One of the dining room waiters told me I was drinking too fast when I ordered another round for my self and my Wife. We had been on a bus for 5 hours after being evacuated during Hurricane Delta last week. The Guys at the front entrance outside were friendly and very helpful in answering questions about local attractions and shopping. We were sent to this property by our hotel in Cancun during Hurricane Delta, per the local Governor, all alcohol was banned, not the hotels fault, but something to consider if you are traveling during this season.

Very good, I recommend it very much, great service and friendliness

It's amazing, his is definitely the only hotel I will come back every year for our anniversary for sure, the staff it's amazing, they make you feel at home, Nadia, with a the first warm smile you will see, Moisés and armando at the restaurant, Guillermo taking care of the customers at night, the attention to details that all of them have, and each of them make you feel so special and welcome, Mr. Irwink an amazing person, standing obation! He took the time to explain what the dish has and the ingredients from the Yucatecan cuisine, his customer service goes beyond any expectation, all of them exceed the expectations no matter how high they are, and the room it's so luxurious on a very modern way, the food it's incredible, overall an amazing experience, I will definitely come back every year!!

This was my second time staying here. On this trip, I needed a very early check in and as a globalist, they made my room available super early which I appreciated after my red eye. Breakfast and the property are really nice. Lots of construction as they are redoing a large part of the hotel. Pool area is mediocre. Staff is great. Regular rooms are mediocre but the suites (which I stayed in on a previous trip) are amazing! Hotel location is decent depending what you want to do. Overall had a great stay.

This Intercontinental is rather different from usual. The location is great but was unexpected that it will be just along the noisy street in an ancient building which before used to be another hotel. So it is rather old (in perception not in amenities). The rooms are specific but good and comfortable. We've checked the Hyatt which is right after the corner but that Hyatt is luxury and as everywhere. And this Intercontinental is special - you feel as if you are in colonial times. The hotel is narrow (in corridors).The open door pool is tiny. The breakfast selection is good but not so wide. So general impression is very good. The personnel is very friendly but not so much and good speaking English. So some time we needed in order to adopt ourselves to this experience but generally we are pretty much satisfied. We've stayed here for 8 night so can judge. :-).

The facilities are new and sanitary. They are cleaned every day. The staff are super patient and very good. I went straight to check in at 8 o'clock that morning and didn't say anything. I gave full marks to this point. The location of the hotel is pretty good in Merida. It’s probably more convenient to drive next to the main street of the boulevard and not far from the bus station. I don’t know why Ctrip scores so low.

First, I have to say that we stayed in this hotel 3 years ago and it was a wonderful experience. Today it was something completely different. We had a 7 day reservation, and we ended up staying only 3 nights. We had to get away from an awful hotel experience, one of the worst. Day 1: 12.30 pm, restaurant closed, we were sent away despite being starved. Arrived at room which had a dirty bathroom floor. The most annoying thing: why the hell must every channel be in Spanish?? Do they not have any non-Spanish speaking guests?? Are we not entitled to watch TV? Day 2: we dared arrive 30 minutes before the breakfast buffet and all we got was cold disgusting food, not a drop left of orange juice, but we did get rude and inattentive service. We asked the front desk to call housekeeping to do a better job at cleaning. We got nothing, bathroom floor was still dirty and then left one lousy towel. 8.00 pm and we went for dinner and the damn restaurant was closed. They said they were fumigating Day 3: arrived at breakfast earlier this time, food was warm but disgusting and tasteless. The entire time nobody came to the table at all. And yes our bathroom floor was still dirty with only 2 miserable towels Day 4: we of course did not waste time at breakfast. We went out and came back at 3, our room was still not cleaned, we asked for it to be cleaned and we came back and they did a terrible job, bathroom floor dirty, empty water bottles not taken away. And here’s the straw that broke the camel’s back: They have this promo saying that happy hour, 2x1 on beers from 2.30 to 4.30, we went to the bar and the told us: “There is no beer of any brand and hence no promo”. We chose to leave this dumpster and then checked in at the Camino Real Hotel which is heaven on Earth. When checking out of the Hilton, the manager didn’t even have the courage of facing us and hear about our ordeal Stay away from Hilton Garden Inn. At least until they get their act together and realize if they keep this up they are heading to the bottom of the worst in Merida.

Not suitable for bringing children, ink breakfast is good. There is a relatively large mal nearby, but it is also very convenient. Quiet at night is very suitable for a good night's sleep, air conditioning is sufficient, bathing hot water is generally.

I stayed in Residence Inn Merida for a month in January 2024. I liked the location and services. It’s very close to the Galleria Mall, Costco and a large grocery store. You can take bus R72 to Central Merida which is very convenient if you don’t have a car or don’t want to drive.The room is clean and equipped with full kitchen. The breakfast is included. The front desk staffs are also helpful. They helped us to arrange two private day trips to Maya sites and cenotes. The only thing I would recommend is to improve the quality and add more choices to the breakfast. Not many varieties of breakfast. The refrigerator is a little bit noisy at night.
