Where are the BEST areas to stay in Merida Mexico?
Where to stay in downtown Merida Mexico – Best Hotels In Merida Mexico
Santa Lucia & Centro
Santa Lucia is the most popular park in Merida. Surrounded by mid price and upper price restaurants and hosting regular live music – and traditional dancing on Thursdays. Very popular with the 40+ crowd as well as more affluent locals.
Santa Ana & Paseo de Montejo
Our pick for the nicest part of town. Some of the fanciest hotels are near the wide boulevard of Paseo Montejo, but for those on a budget, Santa Ana park area offers authenticity and reasonable prices while being a stone’s throw from centro.
Santiago & West of Centro
A much more “local” neighbourhood. Still with all the modern convenience you want but without the tourism. Only a few blocks from centro. Enjoy the weekly dance in the square on tuesday nights, typically featuring a big band or other live music.
