Pros: The grounds are a gardeners delight. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and with balconies.
The restaurant is beautiful, the food is excellent, and prices are good.
Cons: The restaurant staff, while very nice, were also very spotty. At times they would be all over you, but more often they were nowhere to be found when you needed to be seated, get the bill, etc.

Pros: I liked the historical aspect of the hacienda, the way the old architecture was incorporated with the new at the same time preserving the beauty of the old. I loved the beauty of the gardens and the pool with the columns in it. I would have loved to have seen peacocks displaying in the gardens!
Cons: I did not like the fact that we could not take food or drink into the hacienda. I realize the reasons for it, but it would have been nice to sit out and enjoy a glass of wine and cheese picnic style in the evening.

Pros: This building has history going back to 1542-- it was a mill for producing sugar cane and was owned by the heirs of Cortes until the 20th century. The architecture is "industrial" in the sense that it is not ornamented like a cathedral from the same time period, but there are wonderful arches, buttresses & domes. Vines have overgrown the brickwork in several areas, most notably the restaurant-- the room with a tree growing through the walls. The gardens are fantastically lush and bursting with life-- birds, lizards, and butterflies.
I stayed in a junior suite with a 4-poster king bed. The furniture was massively constructed of wood and wrought iron, adding wonderful atmosphere. Blankets and extra pillows were stored in a wooden trunk that looked 300 years old. The suite had a patio with table & chairs for 2. There was another table and chairs inside, plus a writing/computer desk. The TV and minibar were housed inside a cabinet. The mattress and pillows were average, although the linens and towels were nice quality. Bottles of water and coffee for the in-room coffee pot were provided gratis. The bath products are botancal, scented with verbena and very pleasant. The staff was attentive and very courteous. As a woman traveling/dining alone, I was treated with respect.
I didn't use the heater or air conditioner, and I didn't use the TV. Wifi signal was very strong and available in every part of the facility. I sat at a wrought iron & talavera table in the "island" surrounded by the koi stream -- catching up on work on the computer-- for a couple hours one night. The restaurant provided sangria and cheese fondue with chorizo sausage-- such a pleasant and unusual environment.
Cons: I was awakened by merry-makers in the (very) early morning. The hotel is often booked for wedding parties and the guests can get boisterous. I also heard activities in the street between 2 and 4 in the morning. The Hacienda is located on an active street, and you can hear trucks, car radios, road construction and other noises. The gardeners get started between 7 and 8 with leaf blowers and lawn mowers. So I guess that is how the merry-makers wake with aching heads!!
The brick construction can hold humidity, and the room takes on a damp smell. I opened my doors and ran the ceiling fan at highest speed to freshen the room when I got home in the evening.
