MACANCHE B&B

COLONIAL HOUSE

If staying at the Macanche B&B you might want a car, as it's a few blocks from town, and Izamal is hot with no breeze.  We really enjoyed our stay here, and the owners Emily and Alfred are friendly enough. 

This was our room - called Colonial House.  It was very clean and comfortable, however there was no water pressure in the shower.  All the suites have themes, and are connected by beautiful pathways and gardens.  It was dark at night, so a flashlight would have been handy.

Everywhere you look, there are beautiful plants and even the storage sheds are Na huts.  At the back of the property, there's a beautiful pool that has an uneven floor, and looks like a mini cenote.  It was being cleaned right before we arrived, and though there were other guests staying at the hotel, we were alone at the pool.

 The relaxed environment was a nice change from the business of Merida, and Leanne had morning sickness the day we arrived - so a nice afternoon spent resting was perfect.

 The restaurant is beautiful, and the breakfast was fabulous.  When the kitchen is closed, guests are allowed to help themselves to drinks in the fridge, but are expected to be honest and write it down on a room tab.  We paid $45 for two people, which included breakfast.
