The entire Hacienda was magnificent. I’ve stayed in some pretty nice places, but this place was next level. It’s amazingly preserved, holds the charm and character of history everywhere you look. The staff are so nice and I can’t speak Spanish but we had lots of fun using the iPhone translators. The horses and animals are well kept and healthy, the owner Monica whom I got to meet and spend time with, made me feel part of their Mexican family :)
