Casa De Las Palomas is a stunner. An oasis at the very convenient corner of Calles 49 and 64, such a wonderful place to come home to from your Merida adventures. Everything is understated elegance, from the lobby torn from the pages of Architectural Digest, to the bosky pool courtyard and dining areas. Rooms are big on tile, exposed rock, and local woods, with courtyard views. My room, #6, had a downright decadent outdoor rain shower, featuring hot water and strong pressure--not always found in Mexican hotels. Good bed, quiet overnight. Staff is friendly and eager to please. I sense a hotel of this calibre would be twice, three times the price in Bali or Tulum, so a decent value too.
A few quibbles: I would have loved a chair or loveseat in the room. There is space for a refrigerator in the cabinet, again would have been a welcome addition. And given that the pool is the hotel's central feature, hotel staff should aim to clean pool more often--pool caught a lot of leaves and debris that daily or twice daily cleaning would have removed. Small things.
On the balance, a strong recommendation for your hotel choice in beautiful Merida.
