The was an amazing place to stay in Merida! We couldn’t have asked for more. We had such a great time by the pool that it was hard to leave. We did have a rental car so it was easier to get around and check out all the different places to eat. I will definitely be coming back here again. Highly recommended

Great home for families! The home had plenty of room and a beautiful outdoor setting. Between the pool, flor and fauna, it was a great place to relax and enjoy. Also, it was an easy trip to the central part of the city and a great hub to explore the areas outside of Merida. Fernando took good care of us and Doña Manon cooked us delicious local Yucatecan dishes. We hope to return soon!

Great communications with the host. Wonderful old hacienda, well situated for us to walk to the main square, markets etc. Although it sits on a main street, the layout with the patio around the pool was a cool peaceful retreat
6 / 10Average·Aug 2024
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.
