La Pantera Negra

Jean-Pierre and Gina are wonderful hosts—great conversation, very welcoming, and all around fun to be with, along with their two small, friendly dogs. Their place is a fabulous old building with high ceilings, a swirl of creative art and fabrics, interesting spaces, and a beautiful jungly garden. Our room was spacious, quiet, with a/c, our own bathroom, and comfortable bed. Also very close to the ADO (long distance) bus station, local buses, and easy walking to the main plaza and the market. If you like things to be interesting and creative and engaging, this is the place for you. If you like everything to be just so, then it might not be to your liking.

The streets nearby are on the gritty side, although we always felt safe.

Everything, but more than anything else the kindness of our host Jean Pierre. He was absolutely fabulous and provided so many information on Yucatan. The house is a jewel, our room was nice, bed very comfortable. The location is very good, about 15 min walk to the main square.

Nothing.

La Pantera was clean and nicely decorated. The host was exceptional, providing helpful tips and assisting with personal needs. He went beyond the call of duty to retrieve a backpack I had left in a pub and sent it through courier to another city in Mexico. He also let me use his computer when my phone card wouldn’t work to make emergency calls and interpreted for me. Jean-Pierre is an exceptional host and I would recommend his place to anyone who enjoys a real bed and breakfast. I cannot thank him enough for his efforts to help me out of stressful situations.

The neighbourhood is quite safe but unless you are used to Mexico it can look run down on the busy streets in the neighbourhood. However, I stayed at three locations on this street and had zero problems -and this was the best place I stayed.

The hosts were very friendly and informative. They let us arrive early and use their living room to change and leave our luggage until check-in time. Breakfast was homemade and very tasty. The B&B is very close to the ADO bus station and within walking distance to the main attractions in the city. The room was nicely decorated in an artistic and unique way. The two lovely dogs were a treat :-)

There was a smell in the room, but when we opened the door to let fresh air go in, it solved the problem. The bathroom is separated from the bedroom with a curtain.

We enjoyed the time with our hosts Gina and Jean-Pierre. They were so helpful in providing information we needed to discover the wonderful city of Merida as well as the Maya sights and Cenotes around and Yucatan in general . They know the country so well and are so willing to share their knowledge - be it recommendations for restaurants and sights or insights in Mexico's culture and day-to-day life. We appreciated and enjoyed their hospitability.

The house and its artistic decorations, the many excellent recommendations and interesting conversation with Jean Pier. Tasty breakfast prepared with great care by our hosts and served on a tranquil rooftop

We liked everything.
