Casa Lecanda Boutique Hotel

We loved our 3 night stay in this beautiful, stylish and secluded hotel. Our garden room was spacious with lots of amenities and even had a sunken bath. Breakfast in the covered courtyard was delicious. A very short walk from the hotel is a fabulous quirky restaurant called Catrin.

You know when you love a place so much that you want to write the perfect review? Then you delay so long cause you are worried that you won't be able to do so? Perfection is the enemy of action, no?||We loved this place. I spent many an hour reviewing options in Merida to stay, and I doubt that I will ever stay elsewhere after enjoying Lecanda!||The rooms are exceptional, but the service is the real star of the show. Like a cocktail? check, they'll make you a great one. Love breakfast? check, they'll prepare and serve you in style! Need a tour, etc.? They'll organize a private tour that will be better than you could have done so yourself.||The location in town seemed great. The nearby retail was updated and nice, and other parts of the town were all within reasonable walking distance.||It really felt as if we were living inside a movie set (in the best way possible). A really memorable stay!

We were delighted with our stay at Casa Lecunda. There are only seven rooms in this delightful boutique hotel, which for us somewhat resembled a Moroccan riad. We found the service excellent. On arrival we had a complementary margarita. Our room was roomy enough and decorated with tiles and Mexican wood features that gave it an authentic feel. The rooms look out onto an open area, which has lots of seating and swimming pool. There were shutters for the windows so that you can ‘black out’ the room. As there is a policy of no children, it was very quiet. Charming, quaint, quiet, excellent service. While it provided breakfast, there is no onsite restaurant. This didn’t matter to us as there are a number of great restaurants nearby and the hotel manager gave us some excellent recommendations. Couldn't recommend this accommodation more highly!

Wonderful hotel for our honeymoon. Clean, centrally located, great service and ammenities. When a hurricane was expected, they helped us rebook for two nights at a larger hotel with a backup generator for our safety, and even gave us a credit toward meals at that hotel - very appreciated.

Excellent Boutique Hotel in a great location. The staff was great! Mario was our waiter at breakfast each morning and he educated us on the culture, which we really appreciated. The breakfast was delicious!! Rooms and pool were really nice. Loved our stay here!

Absolutely wonderful. Must be best of Mérida because we’ve traveled high end all over the world and this was possibly our best hotel experience ever. Like being taken care of in a gorgeous private home. It’s simply exquisite. Beautiful courtyard around pool with huge mature trees. Lovely furnishings and artwork.||Indoor rooms are gorgeous as well…bar, formal dining, and kitchen…oh yeah the kitchen is open to the courtyard and beautiful as well. Even the courtyard bathroom is beautiful, with gorgeous tile and high ceiling. ||Large deluxe rooms with very high ceilings. Large stone tubs for 2. Very romantic.||Fantastic staff throughout. Enjoyed conversing with our server Mario. My wife and her sister hugged him and teared up when we had to leave. Our early maid Theresa so full of joy with her lovely smile. Never met the later maid who did turndown service but enjoyed the yummy chocolates she left.||Wonderful breakfast with wide selection. Can’t go wrong, all superb. And inexpensive, as are the drinks from the bar. No food service after 11 am or so but many great restaurants in easy walking distance. Street recently reconstructed, clean and beautiful, one way. Lined with very good restaurants for a few blocks. Oliva Enoteca across the street has some of best Italian I’ve ever eaten. Fine Mexican a block or 2 further at Micaela Mar y Lena. ||We made roadtrip to Ixi’im for dinner. Interesting but a mistake. Only 11km away but took an hour to get there. Did tasting menu, overpriced, some great, some weird. ||Road trip to Uxmal was fantastic. Had drinks afterwards at the Hacienda before driving back.||Another road trip to Sotuta de Peon for tour of the hacienda and algae farm/rope production. Very enjoyable tour, great history lesson including how Mayans were exploited to build unbelievable wealth from rope business. Beautiful property. Lots of old machinery still running…how they used to make rope when these people were among the wealthiest in the world. At one point you basically go inside a machine grinding the algae with huge old belts and pulleys all around you. With a cenote swim underground at the end if you want (we opted for drinks instead)

Oh my goodness, this hotel is AWESOME. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. In all my travels in Mexico, I've only found one other hotel I'd rate so highly. This place is awesome in all aspects. Service is stellar, simply amazing. The property is beautiful and restful, indeed, simply hanging out at the hotel on a hot day is a brilliant idea here. The location is perfect, right near the Paseo Mantejo and an easy walk to the city center. The room was large and comfortable. Try the tamarind margaritas by the pool. This place is excellent, and when I return to Merida, there is no question where I will stay. Well done! Especially attentive were Morgan and Rocio, but the whole team was great. Thank you!

Excellent !! Get Boutique hotel in a great location. The staff is excellent! Delicious breakfast. Mario was our waiter every morning and he was a pleasure. Told us allot about the culture which we really enjoyed. The rooms are great and enjoyed sitting by the pool.
