My wife and I just spent eight wonderful days in Casa Xaver. The location is great – right in the middle of town, just two blocks from the main boulevard, the Paseo de Montejo, and maybe a quarter mile north of the main plazas, markets, and historical buildings of old Merida. You can Uber if you want, but we ended up walking almost everywhere. Casa Xaver has a simple but elegant feel to it. It cuts through the middle of a city block with bedrooms in the front, kitchen and dining room in the middle, and a pool with a small grove of trees in the back where you can lounge in a hammock. The kitchen has modern appliances, the dining area is spacious, and the bedrooms have 10 or 12 foot ceilings, which gives them an open, airy feel. Our bedroom was connected to a huge bathroom with an awesome walk-in shower, two sinks, and oodles of room to spare. There’s AC, a washer and dryer, and plenty of privacy. If you’re looking for cozy and fun getaway, I would highly recommend this place.
