“There's a quiet charm to this place, a beautifully aged building in the heart of the city near Parque Principal; the staff is eager to help, and the pool provides welcome relief from the Yucatan sun. Though some may find its age showing in places-perhaps needing a touch of modern polish-its location and attentive service still make it worthwhile. A good choice if you appreciate classic style with a personal touch.”
