Hotel Luz En Yucatan is housed in a Colonial edifice, built in, on and around what was once the convent to the neighboring Church of Santa Lucia. (Indeed, word has it that beneath a hollow floor in a room by their pool there exists a tunnel that connects the two.) The sense of a cloistered and peaceful space remains. An aura of calm is palpable.

There are hotels, beds & breakfasts, inns… and then there is Luz En Yucatan. They offer an incomparable experience in lodging. At Luz En Yucatan, their reasonably-priced rooms/apartments have personalities, histories and patron animal saints. No two rooms are alike.
You can opt to reside in "Chuck," a cozy studio apartment named for the departed, but fondly remembered iguana whose portrait is immortalized in the stained glass of the front door. Or, perhaps you'd prefer "Shaman," which was blessed by a Mayan shaman who stayed with us. (The shaman said he knew God wanted him at Luz because the pink, padded toilet seat in his apartment was "sooooooooooooo comfortable!" Note: The toilet seat is no longer at Luz en Yucatan. It was given to the shaman upon his departure and is now somewhere in a pueblo north of Merida.)
Maybe you'd like "Cielo". They named it that because it’s on the third floor overlooking the Santa Lucia church, and they thought you might resent the climb to the bedroom somewhat less if you believed it was taking you closer to heaven.
Each of their accommodations is appointed with new pillow top mattresses, high thread-count sheets, quality towels, private bathrooms, drinking water, refrigerators, coffee makers, cable TV and air conditioning. Their rooms are decorated with Mexican arts and crafts and the kind of furniture your grandmother had at her cottage by the lake... quaint, cozy and welcoming.
Everything in their hotel is available for guest use. Swim in their pool at any hour. Use the kitchen in your apartment or use their community kitchen and dine in their comedor at a table that accommodates twelve guests. They eschew rules and regulations so that you can more easily free yourself from the usual constraints and prohibitions. Indeed, were there an "authority figure" on premises, they would encourage you to "DISOBEY." All this in an effort to enable you to exhale and fully participate in thier slightly skewed but decidedly benevolent reality.
