“Stunning hacienda ”

Stunning hacienda about an hour south of merida. Room are very nice. Service is 1st class from staff. The only thing I would suggest.

Stunning hacienda about an hour south of merida. Room are very nice. Service is 1st class from staff. The only thing I would suggest. I stayed the previous night at the other ihg property hacienda santa rosa. The menus at the on site restaurant seem to be the same. Some variety would be nice if someone was staying for an extended amount of time. Either way the food was pretty good.

“Peaceful, beautiful spot for lunch”

We ate lunch here after visiting Uxmal in the morning and before going to the Mucuyche cenotes at the recommendation of a friend from Merida. That was a great day!

We ate lunch here after visiting Uxmal in the morning and before going to the Mucuyche cenotes at the recommendation of a friend from Merida. That was a great day! We were the only ones in the restaurant when we visited in late May and had a great lunch in a beautiful setting on the veranda with a view of the pool. Definitely felt like we had stepped back in time with surroundings. Excellent food.

The hacienda is located in a small village, it takes some driving to reach it from Merida (close to one hour). It’s a beautiful place, very well maintained and very much what you would expect when you think of a Mexican hacienda. Service is efficient and friendly. Unfortunately the rooms can be dark as they are located in old buildings that were not meant to become a hotel, and it is sligthly disappointing given the price. Overall, it’s a beautiful place, but too expensive given the remote location and the rooms being rather dark. The restaurant is good and not too expensive, which is important since there is no other place where to eat in the village. There’s also a beautiful swimming pool, very pleasant. There’s unfortunately not much to do/see around, apart from some cenotes, and Merida is almost a one hour drive.

“Peaceful stay with limited things to do”

Hacienda is beautiful. It is grandiose, and relaxing. You will hear the birds chirping as you eat your quiet breakfast overlooking the large pool, and feel serene. Food in the restaurant was great - the servers were very kind and always aiming to please. I had overlooked the negative reviews when we booked thinking people were just being picky, but now that we went feel it’s worth stating that there really isn’t much to do here. We did 2 days, one of which we mostly spent at Chichen Itza (2 hours+ driving each way) and that was plenty. Other than that, there’s a pool, and a massage (not a full spa), or you can go for a walk on a poorly kept trail. The hacienda could use a little love to maintain the grounds a bit better. Theres a beaten down tennis court that isn’t usable, the walking trails need some work, the spa could offer some actual facilities, and the pool finish needs a face lift. Lastly - we did the presidential suite which was beautiful. But, the loud bird sqwaking throughout the night on that side of the hotel made it difficult to sleep. The beds are so comfy but we barely slept from the noise. The shower was also WAY too hard on pressure. Neither of us took a comfortable basic shower here. Impossible without feeling like you’re being hit by a paintball gun in sensitive areas while you’re trying to soap up! The private pool was also very unkept and cold (and almost dangerous with the rocks and stairs you have to take to get there) and we preferred the larger pool. This is the perfect place for someone who’s trying to find a quiet place to write a book, or read, or get work done, or simply be contemplative. However, if you can’t do that for more than a certain # of days without going nuts, then plan your stay accordingly. Two days here and moving to downtown Merida for the rest of our week was the perfect balance for us.
