We went to Valle de Bravo to catch the butterflies and stayed a night at Meson de Leyendas. The rooms are spacious, the breakfast includes several types of cereal, granola, fruits, breads, eggs a la carte, and fresh squeezed juices.
We were required to bank transfer a 50% deposit to secure our reservation and had to pay cash up front for the rest of our stay. Be ready to mostly use cash, in general.
The hotel is situated about a ten minute walk to the zócalo, a five minute walk to good restaurants, and 20 minutes to the water. If you bring a car, you are required to park it in a public lot around the corner. It is a flat rate for 24 hours and is manned 24-7. Do not park on the street. more
