My girlfriend (friend/colleague/travel buddy) and I stayed at Hotel Mereva during the off-season and absolutely loved it. The hospitality was next level—Erik and Dalia at the front desk were always kind, helpful, and made getting around super easy. The staff, including Felipe, Aaron, Luis, Santos, and Gabriel, were so genuine and warm—it felt like being among friends.
The food was unreal. Shrimp tacos, forest pizza, and the heirloom tomato with burrata were top tier. Happy hour had the best 2-for-1 margaritas of the trip. We did the breakfast package too—great options and a perfect start to each day.
The property itself is peaceful and beautifully maintained. Two pools, hammocks on the dock, ocean nets to lounge on, plus a plunge pool in our room. Everything worked well—AC, water, all of it. Housekeeping was thoughtful with creative towel animals left daily.
We wished we had two more days just to slow down, explore the small nearby town, and take advantage of the kayaks, paddle boards, and bikes included in the stay.
Taxis are pricey, but the collectivo bus is easy and cheap if you’re up for a little adventure. Even with off-season rain, it never took away from the experience. Highly recommend for anyone wanting great service, good food, and total relaxation.
