Hotel Domani Suites — Hotel in Progreso

When one travels abroad (and I've done it a LOT), security is number one. Both within the hotel and from the world outside. This will give you that in spades. Day 1, put your valuables in the safe at the front desk. Its on camera and there is proof that what goes in there and who sees and does it. Any time you want that stuff, they bring it out. Do arrive with cash instead of credit card however for payment in advance. Mexico Bancs charge 5% fees to local vendors. It helps them greatly if you pay cash. You can get it at the ATM 's at many nearby banks. Be ready. ||Clean. Especially during COVID 19. Its immaculate. All the time, they clean! Convenient. In any direction out the front door you'll find the beach, great food, and fun. Affordable. Depending on season, of course. Helpful and kind and honest. You won't get fancy coffee fixings, luxury pillows, or even an elevator. If you're older, that may matter! While in town, check out Dentist Gibran Zapata. Best Dentist of my life. Calle 29, walking distance from this hotel. Speaks English. Modern office. Fast, affordable, kind. Tell him Linda sent you. If you have more questions about him, email me at linda@lightworker22.com and I'll share. Also order Coconut shrimp at Altavela Restaurant about a block away. Off season the town is so peaceful during the week. Gets busy on weekend due to the folks from Merida coming by. Its your choice. Want peaceful rest or more party energy? Its all good. Progreso has gentle souls, I felt safe everywhere, alone, day and night as an older woman. I got a hair cut, prescription glasses, had 4 massages from Rosa near the beach, and had some skin work done by a collegeage in Dr. Zapata's office. A fabulous makeover for bargain prices! I flew to Cancun on SWA, and took the ADO bus to Merida (about $30) and then a local bus to Progreso for about $1 more. Do NOT get your departure COVID test from Mobile Van in Progreso. Get it at the airport in Cancun which opens at 6 AM in Terminal 1. You'll have your answer in 30 minutes and affordably. Then take taxi to Terminal 4 for your Southwest Departure, if that is who you're flying. I stayed at the Courtyard Marriot in Cancun my last night as their shuttle is reliable. Worth the extra cost! Be sure to go to Duty Free once you've...

Currently staying at hotel domani and so far it’s hasn’t reached our expectations in anything. We chose this place for the gym, which they now have filled up with mattresses and when we tried to just move some weights outside so we could still train they told us that we weren’t allowed and that the gym is out of function and they have no idea when the beds will be moved. The second reason was for the kitchen that we saw on the pictures, which was the reason why we chose the suite instead of a regular room, and it has nothing in it only a microwave and a fridge. No kettle like it said it would and no cutlery to even eat with. Third reason was for the nice balcony with the view that we saw on the picture and we only got a tiny balcony looking in to our neighbours wall…. If I would know all of this I would have never booked here and it feels like we’ve been robbed compared to what we were promised whilst booking. Would advise you to book...

Because this was our first trip to Mexico it would not be fair to make a comparison to US hotels. So this is more of a "what to expect" for tourist in a similar situation. Extremely clean! Although there's wear and tear showing everywhere it is spotless! The views from the patios are spectacular! Our room is a suite with table, refrigerator, sink. Has most all of the necessities. No elevator! Not common that we've noticed. Also, no wash rags, no dish towels. The front desk is not as friendly as the place we stayed in Merida but with Google Translate we were able to communicate and get things done. Couldn't use the ceiling fan in the bedroom because it only had one speed...blurringly fast! Only one receptacle in the bedroom and it was between the two beds. Overall it was okay. The location, cleanliness and price made up for the...
