A quiet, sophisticated gem

This is one of the best small hotels I have ever stayed in. The property is gorgeous -- a beautiful blend of historic architecture with modern touches. The staff was always pleasant and happy to answer questions about restaurants, things to do, etc. The location is great too -- slightly west of the main tourist core in Santa Lucia, so a bit quieter, but still easy to walk to restaurants, shops and the Plaza Grande.

Beautiful, well decorated room with high ceilings!! A huge window that leads out to a private balcony with small table and chairs. Room was on the 2nd floor. The bed was super comfortable and had handcrafted pillow cases and runners. The bathroom had high ceilings, beautiful lighting and best smelling lotion. Rain shower with a sweet smelling conditioner I fell in love with. Front desk people were super friendly and helpful. There is someone at the desk 24/7. Love pool and hammocks. Walking distance to Chaya Maya and La Negrita bar.

One of the best hotels we stayed at

This is one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had. The staff is very attentive and the service level is excellent. The common areas and rooms are beautifully designed to a level of detail we seldom experience. Pool area is also amazing. Very central location with everything in walking distance. The hotel also offers a secure parking area just down the road. We will definitely come back next time in Merida.

I thought the property is amazing and did like the quietness as there are limited amount of rooms. I understand the property has mixed the hand crafts of the region and the modern times. I still figuring out the light system. I wished the light switch for the bathroom was at the entrance and not at the other end. The bed is super comfortable..the room is very nicely decorated. Overall beautiful property.

We had an amazing time at the Antelar Hotel. The rooms are as they appear in the pictures. They are new, clean, and modern. The restroom area is fabulous with plenty of space and 2 closets. It has drawers and a safety deposit box. Amazing pool and gathering areas. Delicious complimentary breakfast. The staff (Sair and Cesar) take care of everything making your stay even better. It's located near downtown and Paseo Montejo. A hidden gem in Merida. Definitely, we're coming back.

Absolute perfection. Everything from the staff to the location just amazing, a clean hidden Jem dead in the Centro of Merida. This little hotel is nothing short of perfect, the rooms are HUGE, well appointed with strong internet, large Tv and a mini fridge, room servicing daily. For those who have visited other hotels in Mexico... The Antelar has full size bathrooms with a full size bathroom door. The property is clean and well managed with a team of employees busy behind the scenes, we had the pleasure to meet Mery the hotel manager who could write the book on hospitality service. Phenomenal customer service and dedication to the job and hotel, it shows in the way the staff work with her, very smooth and no drama. The hotel is walking distance to most of the restaurants and shops, literally no longer than a 10 minute walk from everything including pubs and convenient stores. The hotel has parking out on the street plus a number of dedicated parking spots a shore minute walk away if street parking isn't your jam. If this your first time in Merida or your yearly visit the Antelar is home away from home.

What a beautiful hotel. This was my first ever hotel in Mexico and it is amazing. The reception staff are really helpful eg they brought my breakfast around to the seating area outside my suite next to the pool so that I could sit and enjoy the view while taking my time to get through it. The free breakfast was some fruit and a slice of bread with jam and butter, and little pot of granola and yoghurt. However, with my Expedia booking I got a free a la carte breakfast and chose a sandwich with Valladolid sausage, which was delicious. Location is amazing, very central. The room was awesome. It is huge and the bathroom has two showers, one open to the element and one covered. The ceilings are really high and the doors to the ceiling, so it feels even more spacious. There is lots of storage space and countertop space, and the room has 2 chairs and an and a table overlooking the large pool area.

A fabulous personalised stay, both Daniella and Gerardo were great hosts. A special thank you to Daniella for helping us book our train tickets too. Hotel itself is beautifully decorated and thoughtful towards guests rather than just looking good. Great location - only 7-8 minutes to the main areas and everywhere felt safe to walk around. Thank you for a lovely few days.

We booked this trip on a whim and had no set plans when we landed. We lucked out. The staff were all amazing. The rooms were immaculate and modern. The breakfast was incredible and the courtyard was beautiful. We were only supposed to stay 1 night but stayed 3. The staff gave us great activity and restaurant recommendations. The only reason we didn’t stay the 4th is because we stayed at closer to the Cenotes that they recommended we see. Would highly recommend and we will be back.
