"A beautiful boutique hotel and spa, Rosas & Xocolate lives in the bones of a French-style mansion overlooking the glamorous Paseo de Montejo. The on-site restaurant has tucked quite a few awards under its belt, and the 17 rooms are all individually designed, each with private outdoor Jacuzzis. "Rosas & Xocolate is a sexy boutique hotel right on the Paseo, surrounded by cafes, clubs, and shops, many occupying European-style mansions built during the henequen boom around the turn of the 20th century," said Gritzewsky." - Travel + Leisure Editors

Mérida, Mexico, Is a Favorite Travel Destination Among Locals — How to Visit

"With a name like that, it’s no wonder this boutique hotel is a prime spot for romantic getaways in the Yucatan’s capital city. The two pink-hued colonial mansions are as charming as they are camera-friendly, bedecked in vibrant modern art and picturesque patios and outdoor corners that mix lush greenery and sleek furnishings. Life here feels like its perpetually viewed through rose-colored glasses, and it’s not just the walls: the spa offers an enticing menu of xocolatherapies; the tequila bar has over 250 varieties to sample; the oasis-like swimming pool is a palm-shaded spot for afternoon dips; and there’s even a chocolate shop on-site. Guests can dine on gourmet fusion fare in the restaurant, or head up to the rooftop lounge for cocktails with a side of live jazz. As for the guest rooms, they’re no less indulgent with their rose and cocoa palettes and patterned-tile floors; minimalist bathrooms have sumptuous open-air stone tubs, large walk-in rainfall showers, and handmade chocolate soaps."

Staff is very accommodating and attentive. Hotel was authentic to Merida. One did not feel you could be in anywhere in the world in a generic hotel room. The breakfasts in the restaurant were outstanding as were other meals. Tours arranged were informative and worthwhile.

visited as a couple to their Christmas Eve dinner (1,990 mxn/pp) - disaster but parking was easy. Only dined here, cannot speak to the lodging. no tables on the patio got water until at least 20 minutes after sitting down, left hungry, turkey was so dry you're better off eating Costco chicken, offered a wine list half way through the meal but no one ever came by to take the order. I think them not speaking English made interacting with us very intimidating, so nobody checked up on us and seemed like straight up avoided us. We had informed them via text and twice in person that one of us had severe walnut allergies (to which their front of house manager acknowledged to have removed) but it still came on the plate... Worst of it is the morning after food poisoning - even though I was completely fine eating at the wet market and seafood in Sisal (days prior). Absolutely unacceptable for the price, flavor, and food safety - for food just go to LaChaya Maya.

A group of friends recently stayed at Rosas y& Xocolate/ boutique hotel + spa -Marriott Bonvoy in Mérida, Yucatàn| MEXICO with high hopes, but unfortunately, our experience fell short of expectations. While the staff was generally courteous, there were several issues that affected our stay.||Three of the rooms we booked were not up to the standard we anticipated. The rooms were run down and lacked cleanliness in some areas. |We had booked 5 nights and decided to leave after the first night. We offered to pay for all three rooms for the second night, as we understood the "short notice" early check out.|The staff wouldn't let us communicate with the General Manager despite our requests.|Unfortunately we were charged in full for the 5 nights, eventhough we only stayed there for 1 night.||I would definitively not recommend staying in this hotel.

This past weekend, August 23-24, 2024, we had a perfect stay at Hotel Boutique Rosas y Xocolate. The attention, the vibe and the charm of the place made us feel very special and eager to return.|Greetings to Paulina, Angelica and Katherine for their great support, their kindness, and warm smiles. Thank you for the call to remind us of our hats that we left behind in their Lobby.|Also, a big thanks to Erick for his very helpful recommendations during our breakfast at the hotel restaurant. By the way, it was delicious! Thank you for this fabulous stay at this Pink Oasis in the heart of Merida!!!!|Not in vain, the best Boutique Hotel Award 2024

I used to go to the spa often, and it was amazing. Then their website said they were remodeling for something like 3 years. When they reopened, I was hopeful it would be even better. Instead, nothing was different with the facilities, the menu was significantly reduced, and the staff was pleasant at best. I tried going twice. My favorite spa in Merida has been reduced to an expensive waste of time.

Our first impressions were very positive. This is a nice looking hotel with free street parking available (broadly anywhere except on the main avenue at the front of the hotel). There's a small pool and a well stocked gym which is adequate for a few people. ||From thereon, things started to look less rosy! On checking-in, there was absolutely no recognition of our elite status with Marriott. We were not offered any welcome drink or similar. For a place renowned for its chocolates, you would think they would offer you a sample which might actually drive people to purchase more.||This frugal theme continued into our room. There was no fruit or suchlike as a welcome gift and instead we noticed a sign next to the coffee machine which stated that only 2 complimentary capsules are provided per day, and any additional capsules could be purchased for 45 pesos each. | |Our room was a good size and included an outdoor bath which was more of a novelty given that it was particularly dirty with leaves, etc. Our sink had not been properly cleaned (still had the remnants of spat out toothpaste in it) and the air conditioning unit was ridiculously loud...like being on a plane. It also can't be controlled...just on or off. The hotel agreed to move us to another room but they must have been aware of the issue before now. There were also no USB sockets to be seen. ||The lack of cleaning extended throughout the hotel, with dusty floors and just about every glass door being covered with finger marks. It looked like no-one had cleaned for some time. ||Breakfast was included and decent enough, but again the tightfistedness came into play, e.g. you could have juice or fruit but not both. ||Given that the prices are relatively high, we expected far more from this boutique hotel.

The staff were very friendly and very helpful in all aspects of our stay. Our ground floor room had a nice layout, plenty of natural light and was comfortable. Some items are starting to show their age, like the shower and windows but overall a nice stay in a perfect location with easy walking to shops, restaurants, etc. The restaurant was also outstanding. One dinner and multiple breakfasts were excellent.

Great boutique hotel in a terrific location. Easy walk to almost everything you would want to see or go to eat in Merida. Staff is incredibly friendly. Excellent restaurant. Fitness center was new and needs to be a little better organized but still functional. Room was spacious and comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel if you go to Merida.
