Guest Suite with breakfast in Merida's Best Neighborhood

This is likely the first and only time that we will not invite guests back to our property. We purposely did not rate these tenants because of this but now feel that we would be doing other hosts a disservice by not warning them. One of our first inclinations that these tenants were trouble was when the husband shouted at our neighbor's workers to stop working on an emergency repair that they were almost finished with. He then demanded that my husband go over with him and shout at them again. My husband did go over and speak to them in calm and respectful manner as this is how we do things here. Despite this being Mexico (many people work in the am and evening because of the heat) and it being 8:30 on a Friday evening the men stopped working. We were also disappointed with the stains the tenants left on our plush linens and on the floor. All of the above could have been prevented if these tenants communicated with us from the beginning. We could have tried to remove the stains and we would not have created tension with our wonderful Mexican neighbor. Our pool is not a typical north American pool in that it is not painted a bright turquoise. It was designed to look like a cenote in it's natural state. It is cleaned daily with a pump, top skimming and with additives to keep it bacteria free. The color of the water is reflected from the sky. If it's over cast and the winter sun is low in the sky the pool will be reflect that. It will reflect the surrounding colors of the concrete walls. If they sky is bright turquoise as it is in the summer months the water will look the same. In regards to the upper deck being hot, there is a large pergola with an over head fan that one can shade themselves under but honestly you are in the tropics and there's a reason that most people here don't go out mid day looking for a cool places. The down stairs pergola is much cooler during the day. Tenants are invited to use that at anytime. I'm sorry that you didn't realize that our property was not completely private. We actually do not use the pool during the winter months so I can't imagine our presence being invasive. You may consider renting a house the next time. Best regards
