The extensive wine list perfectly complemented our meal. The serene and elegant atmosphere makes you feel instantly relaxed, and the impeccable service ensures a memorable visit. This hacienda is a unique escape, providing a perfect mix of cultural richness, culinary excellence, and tranquil beauty. A must-visit for anyone seeking a special experience in Querétaro

We didn't stay in the hotel, but we went for breakfast because they had an area for kids to play outside and a kids' room with games and a TV. The food and service were great, and our daughter loved the play area.

This hotel is so inviting. The large king bed and accommodations were amazing. Loved the ambiance of the room. Nice large bathroom too. I sat outside our room and enjoyed the room service in having some tequila. We visited the restaurant for a fantastic dinner. The live entertainment was most excellent and a DJ was present too. The food was fabulous and so was the tequila. . The receptionist, Melissa, was very helpful as I only spoke English. I was interested in shopping so she informed me about a large mall nearby.
