Great location. But certain parts of the property were a bit outdated. The staff were very kind and attentive.

Gran Hotel Panamericana Merida
The hotel has such a great relaxing vibe. It is a bit away from all the action which is a good thing because it can get noisy and busy in the heart of Merida. It is less than a 10 minute walk to the heart of the city and you can’t beat the pool area, dining area, and lovely lobby.
