Top Merida Hotel Reviews

Totoco Eco Resort

Totoco Eco Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at Totoco. Our bungalow tucked along the jungled hillside provided the perfect little escape into nature our family was craving. Being from a big city, the insect sounds at night did take us some getting used to, but it was so cool waking up to the howler monkey calls in the morning, and we loved checking out all the beautiful flowers and interesting critters along the path between our place and the main common areas. The views from everywhere are absolutely stunning, and we loved spending lazy afternoons splashing around in the pool or reading books in one of the seating areas or hammock on our front porch. The staff is extremely helpful and accommodating. The food was delicious, especially the chicken soup and coconut curry. We would be happy to stay here again."

10/10 Excellent
"Time flies when people enjoy places like this. We enjoyed this beautiful House!! There were a few concerns with the fruits that were piled up and uncleaned under the mango tree. It attracted many wasps and mosquitos that didn't allow us to really enjoy the outside without getting bit or almost stung. The rooms were very spacious and organized but they weren't as clean, some had cobwebs and a lot of dust and a few dead ants and such. Minor details compared to our comfort at stay. Mainly, there was big power outages our first two nights where the power would go out completely for the whole house for long hours. We had a bit of food in the fridge that did go bad, and saved the rest when the power came back about 5-6 hours later. Other than that, the house was very accommodating and it was a nice experience for our stay on the island."
