A small, 11-room former nobleman's estate west of Mérida on the road to Campeche, Hacienda Santa Rosa is restored around carved stone columns, a spring-fed pool, and formal gardens. Rates run roughly MXN 4,000 to MXN 11,000 (about $235-$645 USD) per night.
Hacienda Santa Rosa, a Luxury Collection Hotel, occupies a former nobleman's estate near Maxcanú on the Mérida-Campeche highway, roughly 50 km west of Mérida, making it one of the more remote hacienda hotels in the region. With just 11 rooms across Deluxe Room and Suite categories, it is among the smallest of the Luxury Collection haciendas, built around carved stone columns, a spring-fed outdoor pool, and formal gardens original to the estate. Rooms combine colonial-era architecture with contemporary amenities, and the estate's restaurant serves Yucatecan dishes on a terrace facing the gardens. There is no dedicated spa building, though massage treatments can typically be arranged in-room or in a garden setting. An evening campfire is a signature feature of the property, drawing guests to gather outdoors after dinner. The hacienda's small scale and rural location on the Campeche road make it a quiet stopover for travelers heading toward Campeche city or the Puuc archaeological route rather than a base for day-tripping to Mérida itself; concierge staff can arrange transport and guided visits to nearby colonial towns and cenotes.
