Conversations with him are a highlight of a visit. The numerous public areas provide comfortable 1950s overstuffed furniture and plenty of delightful artistic surprises. The dining room offers interesting foods supported by an extensive kitchen garden and excellent English-speaking service. Building exteriors include intriguing carved columns, panels and doors and eclectic traditional and modern wall paintings. The gardens seem endless and feature both spectacular design and an impressive array of orchids and bromeliads as well as some very friendly llamas and plenty of birds. The stables provide day and overnight horse treking as well as animals for amusement and the table. You'll feel like you walked into the pages of a Graham Greene novel as a very important character. If the atmosphere enchants you and you want to stay, long term rentals and condominium houses are also available. A magical experience. read less

The bathrooms are a bit basic compared to the rest of the property. The food is very good, but the service can be a bit slow in the late morning.

The property overall is charming with beautiful gardens, an elegant library, and warm common room. The decorations are quite eclectic. The bedspreads were locally made handwoven blankets that are incredible.

The owner was there while we were and provided us with the recent history since he acquired in. He obviously cares deeply for the employees and their families. read less

There are about 30 rooms, some in the main buildings and some in cottages in the grounds. The gardens are a major part of the attraction, filled with all varieties of trees, palms, flowers and orchids, plus alpacas graze quietly through the day. Fires are lit in the rooms each evening, when temperatures drop below comfort levels. [Monasterio Cusin, next door, is open to hacienda visitors -- it is a wonderful conference venue and some cottages in the grounds are privately owned.] The restaurant is excellent, service is friendly, and the price is good value. read less
