Impressive décor. However, they need to address cooling issues. We could not enjoy the property due to lack of efficient air conditioning. The two bedroom ac units functioned ok. The third unit in the separate suite struggled to get the room cool. The kitchen unit was horribly inefficient. The small kitchen adjoining family room ac unit did not work. All other shared spaces were entirely open to the outside, including the kitchen. The oppressively hot August months made it extremely challenging to occupy any shared area as a family. We arrived at a house that was extremely hot with no instructions for the ac controllers. It was a process to get any working units going, operation isn’t obvious. One controller lacked a battery, and another one required a code to use. Overall, the hacienda was clean and was well stocked. However, after the initial welcome to an uncomfortably hot house we discovered one of the beds had hair/eyelashes on it. Not ideal for sheets that are supposedly fresh. I was also disappointed in the lack of response from the owner. I reached out with my concerns. I did not hear back until multiple messages later. He did share that they were having a family issue. However, to date, I have not heard anything back from him about my concerns. If you are looking for a home to enjoy time together as a family, reconsider Casa Sur during any of the hotter months in Merida. We ended up leaving and finding another option to stay the rest of our time in Merida.

We LOVED our stay at this property. It is a perfect blend of curated, old-school Yucatan with beautiful artwork and furnishings and modern amenities. Soft, comfy beds, a wonderfully appointed kitchen, fluffy towels, nice size pool, and lovely indoor/outdoor living. We enjoyed having coffee out by the pool. The time of year that we visited was very hot (April) so we appreciated all of the fans. There was an issue with the internet the first few days we arrived, but the hosts and on-site manager were very communicative and had it fixed fast. The property is in a very tropical location, so be ready for insects and such. The property had good pest mitigation and screens on the windows, etc. Great walkability into the city center and easy for UBER drivers to find us. We highly recommend this house!

This stay was magical. We enjoyed Casa Sol and highly recommend. Great location, easy to navigate to all the hot spots. My wife enjoyed all the fun decor and artwork through out the house. The pool and outdoor space made our trip special. Just beautiful.

We truly had an amazing experience staying at this lovely home in Merida. The pool and porch areas were beautiful and perfect for cooling off on the hotter days. The hammock by the pool is a slice of paradise. We easily all fit in the home and having a separate casita was nice. Communication with the home homeowner was easy and always had quick responses. The groundskeeper was amazing-helped us every day, gave us advice for adventuring in the town, fixed anything that didn’t work. We had a rental car which made getting around easy and quick access to the beach but the house was a great location to easily use Uber as well. Would highly recommend this house-it will help you have a true Merida experience.

The home is absolutely gorgeous in every detail. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there with the pool, the large kitchen, and the multiple places to relax. It was a holiday weekend, and we would have liked to see the house manager a little more frequently, but that was understandable. The house is a 25 to 30 minute walk from the center which we enjoyed as we are all walkers. Taxi cabs and the local bus are also very available. all in all, a highly recommended home to visit Merida and Yucatan!

We loved our stay at Casa Sur. It’s so lovely inside and outside in the garden. The pools was used many times a day, as it was very warm while we were in Merida. The kitchen is well stocked, there were plenty of pillows and towels, and we really appreciated the purified water and ice available in the fridge, and drinking water at the kitchen sink and casita kitchenette sink. Alex takes amazing care of the home 4 times a week, and is responsive and communicative, despite limited English. We were able to enjoy a free walking tour in the center of Merida, and drove to Uxmal archeological zone, the chocolate museum (the monkeys were a fun surprise!), Cenote Kankirixche, and Hacienda Mucuyche. A fun excursion that worked out well on our own without the high fee. Hire a guide at Uxmal and you’re all set. We really wanted a chance for our kids to get a more Mexican and Mayan cultural experience, away from the resorts and big hotels. Merida was a great place and we recommend this home.

We had the most wonderful time staying at David and Gary’s gorgeous house. The backyard courtyard with the beautiful pool felt like a dream. The house had everything we needed and was absolutely beautiful and spotless. We loved everything about our trip and the house. Alex was super responsive and fixed the small little issues we had. Thank you David and Gary for your wonderful hospitality, for all the info. about Merida, and for sharing your amazing house with us! It was an unforgettable trip!!
