Our stay at The Diplomat Boutique Hotel was wonderful. The whole staff was so pleasant, genuine, and helpful. There is a special and different breakfast every morning with fresh food from nearby markets, picked out by the female chef - always delicious. Sarah and Neil, the owners, were so personable with us when we met. We spoke the days they were the the Hotel and spoke like we were old friends. They also helped us plan out our days on where to eat and what activities to participate in. They also suggested an in room massage and I'm glad Christina was able to get the knots out of my back. I can't wait to come back to Merida and stay at the Diplomat Boutique Hotel again. A truly memorable experience.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The service was honestly some of the best I’ve experienced anywhere—every little detail was handled, and we always felt welcome. I especially want to mention Maggy. She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and genuinely cared that we were happy with our stay. It made a huge difference.||Breakfast was another highlight—so many choices, all fresh and really tasty. It was the perfect way to start each day. I’d absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

A Magical Honeymoon at The Diplomat Boutique Hotel!! My husband and I finally took our long-overdue honeymoon to Mérida, Mexico this past January (2025), and we had the absolute pleasure of staying at The Diplomat Boutique Hotel. I think it's taken me this long to write this review because I’ve missed it so much — I cried the day we left. The hotel itself is clean, beautifully designed, and perfect in every way. It feels like a true oasis. Neil, Sara, and the rest of the staff could not have been more gracious, welcoming, and kind — they made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. As a big foodie who also eats gluten-free, I was blown away by the breakfasts — each one was fresh, flavorful, thoughtfully prepared, and tailored to my dietary needs. Truly, truly, truly top-notch. If you're looking for a magical, memorable experience in Mérida, please do yourself a favor and stay here. You will not be disappointed. We are counting the days we can go back!

Absolutely Outstanding Experience! My stay at this hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, every detail exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was a real highlight—delicious, varied, and beautifully presented each morning. The rooms were incredibly stylish, spotless, and offered a peaceful retreat after a busy day. I was especially impressed by the quiet atmosphere and the thoughtful design touches throughout. The staff truly made my stay unforgettable. They were unfailingly friendly and genuinely attentive, always ready with a great recommendation yet never intrusive. Upon my arrival, they had already made a dinner reservation for me at a wonderful local restaurant (with no obligation, of course), which was a delightful surprise and made me feel truly welcome. All in all, I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. Every aspect was simply outstanding!

The Diplomat is one of the best hotels we've ever visited. The reviews are accurate! The property is stunning. The rooms are ideal. Better yet, the overall vibe feels like staying with a really cool, well-traveled family member. Everything is done with so much love and joy - from the gift shop with hand-selected local items, to the daily breakfast that showcases local produce, to the beautiful staff who are warm and genuine, without being overbearing. Just perfect!

I’m not entirely sure how hotel star ratings are determined, but if ever a place deserved five stars, it’s The Diplomat Hotel. From the moment I arrived, I felt comforted. That may not be the word most would choose, but for me, it's everything—especially when landing somewhere new. I had a very rough flight into Mérida, one that left me quite ill, and I’ve been carrying the weight of some deeply stressful personal circumstances. So to find myself in a space so serene, so welcoming, so impeccably maintained—it felt like a gift. Every element of The Diplomat feels intentional. You can sense the love and thought behind it all. There’s a story behind each piece of furniture, every fixture, and the small daily rituals that make the experience feel quietly luxurious. And the soul of the space is its people. The staff are not only gracious, they are deeply thoughtful—and that spirit begins with Sara, the owner, whose presence is as integral as any design choice. She sets the tone, and it ripples through the entire experience. I spent two days of my stay recovering from that difficult arrival, and they cared for me in a way that went far beyond hospitality—checking in often, bringing ginger tea, offering ice packs, and making sure I felt safe. It wasn’t just service. It was care, offered with heart. I couldn’t recommend The Diplomat more, and I’m already looking forward to the day I am able to return.

The Diplomat has, hands down, the best service that we have encountered in all of our travels. In fact, it has ruined any other hotel we book in the future because we will now compare all future stays with The Diplomat. 😂 ||I loved our entire experience. It is a small boutique hotel with beautiful rooms (air conditioned) and wonderful breakfasts. It is only a 20-min walk to all the action in Merida, with easy parking out front if you’re driving. The only (slight) negative were the beds. They are a tad hard, however as someone who loves a soft bed I would still book here again. ||Thank you Sara and team. You guys are the best!

We had a wonderful experience at the diplomat. Sara, Neil and their entire team took such incredible care of us and all the other guests, going way above and beyond to help us with our travel plans, making reservations, and even topical ointment for my bug bites! The breakfasts were some of my favorite meals in Merida, a town known for its food. Make sure you request the egg empanadas while you’re there!
