Located in Campeche this 17th century hacienda has been carefully and sympathetically restored to its former glory. Many of the hacienda's original features are still evident, from its thick stone walls to the beautifully tiled floors.

With just 16 rooms, the hotel feels small and intimate, more like a grand home than a hotel. With every luxury to pamper guests, from its excellent restaurant to the unique swimming pool, it's a great place relax and unwind. The decor and furnishing of the guest rooms is elegant and lavish, reflecting the opulence and style of the hacienda's heyday.

Located on the fringes of the Chichen Itza site, the Hacienda Chichen is a perfect base to explore this world-famous landmark.

After a day exploring the ancient city, you can stroll back to your air-conditioned room or take a refreshing dip in the Hacienda's large swimming pool. In the evening, enjoy a lingering meal in the original 16th Century Casco or main house before taking in the Sound and Light show at the ruins.

The little island of Holbox is about three hours from Cancun but the journey is worthwhile, for at the end you'll find Villas Delfines, an enclave of thatched-roof casitas by a wide and deserted beach, a natural paradise and a perfect escape from the crowds.

It's a great destination for fishing and bird watching, and the hotel offers some excellent excursions. The enchanting casitas, with their huge terraces and hammocks, are idyllic tropical hideaway cottages and they're also big enough to accommodate a family with two or three children - kids will love the huge beach with its powder soft sand scattered with seashells.

Entering the lobby of the Hotel Caribe from Parque Hidalgo, you cannot fail to be impressed by the colonial warmth of the arches and colonnades rising above gleaming black and white tiled floors. The courtyard has shady walkways on each of the three floors and houses terracotta potted plants and pleasant seating areas.

Guest rooms are pretty and functional, but the main advantage is the excellent location, one block from the main square and with good views of the cathedral from its small rooftop sun terrace.

With just fifteen sumptuous guest rooms, the Hacienda San Jose offers guests the chance to experience the lavish lifestyle of the henequen lords.

The Hacienda is ideally situated close to Chichen Itza and many other of the "must-sees" of the Yucatan, yet also offers guests the chance to lighten their sightseeing trip with a little indulgent relaxation.

This 17th century colonial building is without doubt a very special place, and a real treasure right in the heart of Merida.

Whether you choose one of the beautifully decorated and maintained Standard rooms, the unique Special Class room or even an exquisite Suite - you'll be enchanted by this hotel's charms.

The Hacienda Santa Rosa is a true haven for those intent on seeing the very best that the Yucatan has to offer. We particularly like the intimacy and serenity of the Santa Rosa. A visit here is rather like staying with friends - the welcome is warm and sincere and it's fun to watch the daily activity around this rather grand house.

Rooms offer glorious oversized bathrooms, soaring ceilings - some more than twenty feet high - and enormous, heavy doors that lend so much to the atmosphere. Some original floor tiles also remain, and the rough walls have been repainted in typically Mexican yellows, oranges and blues.

A comfortable and attractive destination that makes an excellent location for exploring the spectacular ruins at Uxmal.

The restaurant serves good food, both local and international, and service is always with a smile. If you're lucky you can often hear the mariachis gently serenading diners and this gives the place a wonderful ambiance.

Strolling into town is easy from this charming, centrally-located hotel and Valladolid also makes an excellent base for exploration of the archaeological sites and natural treasures of the Yucatan.  The restaurant is excellent too.

Many guests are pleasantly surprised by the amenities - including cable TV and telephones in all the rooms; and bidets and tubs in some of the roomy suites.  The enticing swimming pool is also a real delight.
