The Grounds
Firstly, the architecture. It is nothing short of a symphony of old and new – built around an 18th-century textile factory, the contemporary glass structural additions to not detract from the ambiance of the old stone buildings. In particular, the restoration of the old Hacienda is a complete triumph, and you feel immersed in its history there. Old, ruined buildings serve a new purpose, as outdoor dining areas to the villas, for example. Nothing has been removed, and so homage is genuinely paid to the past here.The Location
The location is also beautiful. Surrounded by nature and jungle, the property is a thoughtful inclusion. You can tell that the hotel buildings and casitas have been built AROUND nature. Trees grow through walls and ceilings. Fireflies provide a spectacular display on the lawns each evening, and colourful birds and butterflies prevail.We stayed in the three bedroomed Presidential villa, which was nothing short of jaw-dropping. It offers complete privacy and a gorgeous, spacious setting for a family get-together.
