Casa Pandora

This space was very nice and relatively close to the downtown area, however, we had issues using the concierge service that was included with the space. We also had issues with hot water and the hot tub on the rooftop. It was clean and pretty spacious, and had nice modern decor. Overall, I was happy with the space but there was definitely room for improvement.

This review is not for the property you see here. Apparently for some unforeseen reason, it was not available when we were in Merida. However, Stanley gave us a very suitable alternative: Sprawling Colorful Yucatecan Private Home. It was large, well maintained, well located, and a great place to be at the end of the day. We enjoyed the two cooling off pools and the private spaces. Once we were inside, the street noise and even our own noise was silenced because it was well built. The location was in walking distance of the Centro and a cheap Uber (about $4.00 U.S.) or cab ($10.00) ride from the airport. A few blocks away on the Paseo de Montejo there were wonderful restaurants and coffee shops. The concierge service was excellent and we especially enjoyed working with Luis. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Merida

“This house was very clean and beautiful, with working air conditioners and ceiling fans in every room. In the heat of summer, the bedrooms may need a little while to cool down, but they do work. Luis from Remixto was very helpful, and made our stay easy. The house has many unique features including interior window spaces to allow airflow in the bathrooms and bedrooms that help cool the house off quickly if the temperatures outside are cooler. There are two bedrooms with gigantic bathrooms on the second floor, and one bedroom with it own bathroom on the third floor (which would be big, except in comparison to the two on the second floor), as well as a top floor terrace and soaking pool, and laundry room. The 4th bathroom and larger soaking pool are on the ground floor, along with the large kitchen, dining room, living room and entry way. Useful niceties like filtered drinking water, kitchen soap and towels, bathroom soaps, etc were included, and a pool cleaning crew and housekeeping crew came once during our week there, which was nice to provide clean linens and take out the garbage, and ensure clean pools. I would highly recommend this house, it is about midway between attractions in Meridas Plaza Grande and Paseo de Montejo areas, and nearby the Ecora Language School. If you are visiting, make sure to go to the free weekly light and sound shows ('video mapping') on Catedral de San Ildefonso and Museo Casa Montejo, as they are both moving.”

There was a problem with the property we originally booked, so Remixto switched us to another place which was very convenient and well handled. Bigger place but a little further from downtown than the original (.6 to 1 mile away). Huge 3 story place with 4 beds (3 rooms) and 4 baths including a small pool and hot tub. I was a little turned off by having to pay for electricity, but it was only US $5 for 5 people for 3 nights (no hot tub and were careful to turn off lights/fans). only caution is that they did have a Gardner enter the house when we weren't present, without our explicit permission, which we weren't happy about since it could have been a security concern.

The start of our stay had issues with electricity, and water. It was taken care of efficiently, however we were without water in one shower for two days. Bedroom on third floor did not have adequate air conditioning for 90 degree weather 90% humidity. For the entire stay one of our group members had to sleep on the sofa in the living room. The third floor bedroom was useless to us. This is not a good home for anyone with any kind of handicap or elderly since there are uneven flooring we kept tripping over. The shower tiles are slippery and could use something that would prevent slip and falls. Other than that the other two bedroom A/C worked great, as well as the living room. The home is ideally located to city activities, and restaurants. The home was clean.
