“We stayed at Kunuk for the week of our wedding this December 2025. Several of our friends also stayed here. There’s not enough words to describe how the staff made us feel throughout our stay. They were all exceptional! Their professionalism, kindness, their warmth was like no experience ever. Kunuk is an exquisitely designed boutique hotel, however it would not be what it is, without every single staff member. From the receptionists to the kitchen, to the janitors/cleaners. We had a short wedding photo shoot the morning of our wedding and they were extremely helpful and kind through it all with whatever we needed. The day before wedding, my dress had gotten stained from the wood cabinets with the humidity, Patricia the general manager did not hesitate to send someone for cleaning supplies right away. (the person who came to press my dress at the hotel should’ve not hung the dress against wood). They felt nothing short of friends. Family. Wholesome humans. You do not come across experiences like this quite often. I loved chatting with each of them. Many are such young students with great aspirations and working and pursuing a career. All of the staff is an attribute to Kunuk. I hope this never changes. They have an exceptional leader as manager. We hope to be back continuously. It would be phenomenal if they came up with some sort of membership option. Thank you all for treating us so so finely!”
“My wife and I just got married in Merida and stayed here for a week and a half. We loved everything about it, but especially the people that work there. They are great! We intend on going back in the future.”
“Beautiful hotel that is luxurious and peaceful. Rooms are great, bed super comfortable, pool area is very relaxing (although doesn’t get much sun) and staff are friendly and helpful. Very good breakfast too. Would definitely stay again if ever in Merida.”
“This is an absolutely incredible gem. Room design and space is great. Facilities are well maintained. The breakfast/restaurant room is designed with incredible detail and so much taste. The pool area is absolutely lovely. The bar at night serves great drinks. Breakfast is rich, varied and great quality. But the best of all is the staff - every single member is attentive and caring, genuinely friendly and goes above and beyond to make your stay wonderful. Special thanks to dear Carla at reception - always thinking ahead and taking care of all our needs before we even think we had them ;) Take care Carla and thank you!”
