We spent a bumper 10 nights at the Hacienda San Jose in late September / early October and couldn't have asked for a more relaxing or enjoyable stay. Having broken up our journey from London with a night in Mexico City, we were met at Merida airport by Mario, the hacienda's amiable driver, in an air conditioned minibus (we were... more

My wife and I traveled to the San Jose for our honeymoon this July. We started in Cancun, rented a little Chevy comfort, and made the 3.75 hour drive to the Hacienda in the early morning. That being said, once we got there we were greeted by the resident manager and a server from the kitchen with a tall glass... more

We had a really nice stay at this hacienda in early June. The Swine Flu crisis seems to be keeping most everyone away. We received great attention from all the staff and our room was rustic yet luxurious. Food was good, but not great. With virtually no other guests and this being a luxury property, we expected to be greeted... more

Hacienda San Jose is a little oasis in the middle of nowhere. We didn't have the best of weather - raining or partly cloudy, but it didn't matter a bit when you were reclining in a hammock or taking a dip in your private outdoor bath while looking up at the stars. Perfect experience for our honeymoon. Food was brilliant... more

Here is a sampling of the many things we loved about Hacienda San Jose: 1) Excellent food in a beautiful surrounding. The restaurant is gorgeous... more

The Hacienda San Jose is located around 1.5 hrs away by car from Merida town. There is no access but a car. But who would ever stay this hotel apart from leisure. So it doesn't matter at all. Because this is a completely different world from outside. Then, I fully understood that this had to be away from any chaos... more

I agree with all the other wonderful reviews here. I can't say enough about how fabulous, relaxing and peaceful this place is. The one thing I would add is that I think kids would be bored out of their minds here. When my wife and I stayed here recently, we saw a coulple sets of families with younger children. Even... more

This is a glorious hotel. Calm and tranquil, and so beautiful. Staff glide around in white linen uniforms, flowers scatter pathways and hammocks are within arm's reach for every moment. Our room was gorgeous, It totally exceeded our expectations, we felt like royalty and it made our honeymoon so precious. The restaurant serves a delicious and varied menu, be sure... more
