Noldan was the kindest host we have ever had, from the second we got there he was absolutely incredible. He couldn't have done any more if he tried - he cut the branches off some trees that were making a little noise on our roof (without being asked), he swapped our warm beers & seltzers for some cold ones free of charge (again without being asked), his children gave us welcome gifts (they were absolutely adorable). He provided us with plenty of information on tours, cut us fruit from his trees and was just overall an amazing guy. He also would let us go into his shop after hours for more drinks or food, which was great! And always had a smile. He also remembered our names from the second we arrived, which was lovely. The food was amazing too and very reasonably priced. I can't recommend this place enough. Noldan even offered to take us to show us what he had been working on with his land, unfortunately we didn't have time. We would love to visit again! Also great location!!
“Great place, amazing, charming guy, there's a supermarket and a grocery store. The room is beautifully decorated with enough space for bags, and a great TV. The owner is very nice and even welcomed us with fresh juices, and was there for any questions and requests. Very cheap and 15 minutes drive to the tourist center”
“My stay here was absolutely amazing and worth every minute. I wish I could have stayed longer. Noldan was an amazing host, very friendly, and proactive. Highly recommended this place to anyone staying on the island”

“Sunny Garden Lodge es una de la mejores opciones en Merida. Noldan, fue muy amable y atento en todo momento. El lugar estaba ubicado en una zona muy tranquila, esta muy cerca de lugares populares de la Isla. Las habitaciones son muy comodas, de igual forma ofrecen comidas y lo mejor que dentro de la propiedad hay una miscelanea donde encontras todo para tus necesidades basicas.El anfitrion Noldan es muy dispuesto a ayudar en los que necesites, desde transporte, tours por la isla, etc.”
