Casa Lucia

0 1 2 3 4

Casa Lucia is close to the heart of Mérida, with Parque Santa Lucia square on its doorstep and the Plaza Principal within 4 blocks.

Casa Lucia makes a great base for a day or two at leisure in this joyful city. Today’s hotel comprises a combination of historic Mérida townhouses, with modern additions, and it has held on to its sense of place. Décor very much leans towards the traditional with period furnishings and chandeliers setting the scene, although modern comforts remain a priority. Guest rooms with air-con, a garden with fountains and an outdoor pool makes this a handy refuge from the heat of a typical Yucatecan afternoon.

Uxmal and Kabah: Much quieter than Chichen Itza but therefore more enjoyable.

Highlights: San Cristobal was lovely. Chichen Itza was very impressive. Merida was fun in the evenings.

Most memorable experience: “Difficult to single out any particular aspect. The holiday was an excellent blend of history and culture, along with a final day to relax on the coast.…

"A highlight was the street dancing and music in Mérida, what a lively city!"
Ms, Cambridge Jun 2013
Enjoyed the fact that the cenotes we visited were far from the tourist circuit and had not been turned into themed experiences.
