Setting

It-was-all-yellow Izamal

Get cloistered away at Coqui Coqui Casa de los Santos, a blessed boutique stay amid the golden streets of Mexico’s ‘Yellow City’, Izamal. It has just one suite, called ‘the Convent’, which is more aesthetic than ascetic, with a crown-topped four-poster, floral tiles, chandeliers and candelabra, private terrace and two side-by-side roll-top bath tubs – one of its more devilish details. The rest of the historic casa embraces Izamal’s holy trinity of cultural touchstones (Mayan, colonial and contemporary), where pastel frescoes peel, crucifixes hang, a plunge pool shelters under ancient stone walls, a rustic kitchen hosts breakfast and the perfumería conjures a glamorous past. Amen.

Our Favourite Rooms

With just one room, Coqui Coqui Casa de los Santos feels very exclusive and like a very chic holiday home. And you needn’t take a vow of chastity to spend the night in the Convent Suite. It might be as decadently decorated as a Catholic altar, with gilded candelabra and sconces, dripping chandeliers, a four-poster bed frame topped with a crown, and floral-patterned floor tiles; however, sultry black-hued walls and painted ceiling beams, and side-by-side twin roll-top tubs placed by the window, show that its a bit of a sinner’s sanctum too.

Poolside

The hotel’s slender plunge pool, beside the kitchen, is sheltered by antique stone walls, tiled in green-and-black checkerboard, has his and hers sunloungers, and is straddled by a romantic stone bench. It’s a pace for gentle frolics rather than serious laps. After dark, a lamppost casts it in a soft light.

Spa

Here’s your chance to be slathered in the divine fragrances Coqui Coqui produce (alongside Mayan honey, aloe vera, coconut milk and rose petals), whether you’re being massaged with hands, hot stones or herbal sachets; having your face refreshed; partaking in an exfoliating ritual; or bathing in botanicals.

Packing Tips

Mayan-colonial towns mean cobbled streets and pyramids to climb, so bring flat, comfy footwear. Otherwise some luxe lounging gear will make you feel more like lord and lady of the casa, and save some space for Coqui Coqui’s fabulously fragrant perfumes and candles.

子供

Jesus might watch you from some of the walls, but there’s no need to ‘suffer the little children’ here – only over-18s can stay in this seriously romantic hideaway.

Food & Drink

Top Table

Make yourself at home – gather at the rustic wooden kitchen table for breakfast, sip a fresh juice in a crocheted hammock, shoot mezcal on the rooftop…

ドレスコード

This casa es su casa, so guests’ choice.

Hotel Restaurant

There’s no restaurant, just a rustic dining room with a hefty wooden table, cane-backed chairs, ceramic crockery and fraying straw hats hung on the walls. Only a simple breakfast of artisanal bread and spreads, fruit, juice and coffee is served, and you can take it in your room or have it plated up here.

Hotel Bar

When you get thirsty, raid your minibar for wine, beer, mezcal and an array of soft drinks. There’s no bar on site, so stock up on sippables in town.

Last Orders

Breakfast is served from 8am to 10am.

Room Service

Breakfast can be served to your room, to be enjoyed while you’re still cosy under the covers or with a side of city-wide view.

Planes

Mérida International is the closest airport, just over an hour’s drive away from the hotel. There are limited direct routes from the United States and Canada, but you’ll likely arrive via a connecting flight from Mexico City. The hotel can help to arrange transfers on request.

Automobiles

While you can xplore Izamal easily on foot, a car will come in handy for venturing further out into the Yucatán, opening up sparkling cenotes, hidden temples and more. Only charged street parking is available.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Whether painted its signature bright yellow to appease Mayan sun deity Kinich Kak Moo or to mark the Pope John Paul II’s visit in 1993, pueblo mágico Izamal certainly shines. Photographers can turn their Insta grids into El Dorado, and the curious ochre hue makes for cheery street-strolling. Well-placed to enlighten yourself about the city’s culture and history, Coqui Coqui Casa de los Santos sits at the intersection of Mayan mythology and Catholic colonialism, with the Itzamatul pyramid to one side (closed to visitors, but visible from the roof terrace) and the Franciscan sprawl of the 16th-century Convento de San Antonio de Padua (itself built on top of the Pop-Hol-Chac pyramid). If you're eager to clamber up something ancient, Kinich Kakmó has some uneven stairs that reward you with sweeping views. Recently unearthed Temple of Kabul has a well-preserved stucco face on its side and Hun Pik Tok, near the central plaza, and Chaltún Ha (along Calle 38) complete the circuit. Get to know the three cultures of Izamal (Mayan, colonial and contemporary) at the Centro Cultural Y Artesanal, which has a collection of jewellery, carvings, weavings and life-size Dia De Los Muertos figures. After, wander over to palm-tree-studded Parque Itzamna for a lazy ride in one of the rainbow-hued horses and carriages idling by its side. It’s easy to explore the fascinating Chichén Itzá complex, just an hour’s drive from Izamal, on a day trip; pack swimwear too, because you can make a pit stop at the dazzlingly blue, vine-draped Ik Kil cenote, before heading back to catch the town’s Sound and Light show (if it’s a Thursday, Friday or Saturday) or for a last dip in the casa’s plunge pool and drinks on your just-the-two-of-you terrace.
