Hidden away behind a colonial façade in the center
of Merida is the simple, peaceful bed & breakfast
known as Las Arecas Guest House.

Not even three blocks from the center of Merida,
this quiet and economical bed & breakfast is open to the
bargain-hunting traveler who is searching for
something clean, something comfortable, and
something inexpensive. If you want to avoid a
sterile hotel, and stay in a place that lets you
know you're in Mexico, Las Arecas is the best
Bed and Breakfast in Merida for the price!

According to our former guests, one of the best things about staying at Las Arecas is the hosts, Mauro and Raul. Las Arecas is unique! It is one of the few guest houses or B&B's in Merida that is run by Yucatecans! Mauro was born and raised in Merida, and he personifies Yucatecan graciousness and hospitality. He willingly shares everything he knows in order to help his guests get the most out of their time in Merida. Raul, your other gracious host, speaks perfect English and is well-traveled. He too works hard to be sure that the guests at Las Arecas have whatever they need to be comfortable and happy.

From the moment you walk in out of the Yucatan sunshine, you know you are getting a unique glimpse of a typical Yucatecan home. The shiny tile "mosaico" floors, the inner courtyard, the brightly painted walls and doors are all typically Yucatecan. The garden is planted with tropical splendour and provides the focus for the rest of the house.

When you get to Merida, make your way to our
little hotel, where Mauro, the owner, will greet you
and settle you in your room. You will immediately
feel right at home. Each of the five guest rooms
at Las Arecas in Merida is unique. Some have kitchenettes, some have air conditioners. All have private bathrooms and ceiling fans. The garden
and common rooms are open to all guests and
provide lovely corners for reading, sipping an
ice tea or "horchata" or just resting in Merida
after a long day at Chichen Itza or Uxmal.

Come, relax and enjoy yourself at our little hotel
in the center of Merida... Las Arecas Guest House B&B!

Your hosts Raul, Mauro, Pepe y Mara
