Quinta Montes Molina

A lovely home built by the henequen trade. Serene atmosphere and very nice staff. A great way to spend an hour out of the hustle and bustle.

Nice historic museum. The staff quarters in the basement were very interesting. Worth a visit.

My wife and I recently visited the property with the intention of exploring the museum and taking photos of the beautiful grounds. Upon arrival, the museum attendants were very welcoming. They shared the fascinating history of the quinta and assured us that taking photos around the property would not be an issue. However, our experience changed shortly afterward when another staff member approached us in an upset manner, insisting that we stop taking photos. He informed us that there was a fee for using a professional camera and stated that we could only take photos with an iPhone unless we paid him per photo. This was surprising and confusing, especially since the first attendants had told us there were no restrictions. To clarify, we asked additional employees—one in the wine cellar below the property and another in the perfume area—who both confirmed that taking photos was fine. But again, the same worker confronted us in an angry tone and demanded payment for the camera use. When we returned to the museum to speak with the original attendants, they then told us that there was in fact a fee for photos taken outside. This inconsistency left us disappointed. The lack of clear communication among staff created an uncomfortable situation and ultimately affected our visit. For a place as beautiful as this, I believe it’s essential for management to establish clear, visible rules regarding photography and ensure all employees communicate the same information to guests. Proper signage and staff training would prevent misunderstandings and help maintain a positive experience for visitors. We truly enjoyed the beginning of our visit and appreciate the history of the property, but unfortunately the conflicting information and the manner in which we were approached left a negative impression. I hope management takes this feedback into account so future guests can enjoy the full beauty of the property without confusion.

An interest historic house. There is not much to see, but what they have is quite nice. It give you an idea of how the wealthy lived from the later 19th century to mid 20th century.

Great place. Impeccably preserved. It has it's own car park and a bookstore coffee shop in the back. The gift shop is neat though slightly expensive.

During our visit, my wife and I had a disappointing encounter with one of the staff members stationed outside near the gates. While we were taking photos outside the property—an area where we believed photography was permitted—the staff member approached us in a disrespectful and unprofessional manner. Instead of addressing us politely, he spoke to me as if I were a child, even referring to me as a “kid.” His tone was unnecessarily harsh and dismissive, which made the situation feel uncomfortable and completely avoidable. Guests should always be treated with courtesy, regardless of the circumstances. A respectful explanation of any rules or restrictions would have been entirely sufficient. Instead, the way we were spoken to felt belittling and unwelcoming, and it overshadowed the otherwise positive aspects of the visit. I hope management takes this seriously, as the behavior of staff—especially those positioned at the entrance—significantly influences a visitor’s overall perception of the property. Clear communication, professionalism, and basic respect should be standard for all interactions with guests.

Beautiful furnished house of the first years of the 20th century. A must see in.Merida and entrance fee is decent. Have a look at the gift shop. They have quality souvenirs for reasonable prices and it supports the museum.

Beautiful residence with a grande piano and beautiful french architecture. It's still being used sometimes by employes. You can see the living quarters of servants in the basement there is english plaques to explain everything. There is a big place for parties in the backyard. Nice staff who let me play the 100 year old piano.
