Hacienda Santa Rosa de Lima

The misleading Hotels.com posting gave no hint that Hacienda Santa Rosa is in the middle of nowhere, at the end of a very long drive down dirt roads. We had booked two very expensive rooms, but were shown to one room, which smelled bad. When we realized that, because of a bad smell, we couldn’t sleep there, and that we were not comfortable in that isolated location, we called Hotels.com to explain that we could not stay there, and were leaving. In the event, we found a comfortable, friendly place in Merida where we happily parked ourselves for the four nights in question. The cost of the Hacienda Santa Rosa booking was non-refundable in spite of the smell and in spite of being shown to one room and having booked two, on the ludicrous grounds that the $2,400.00 for four nights was some kind of deal.

This is a small hacienda with only 12 rooms close to a very small town in the middle of the Mayan jungle. Very well maintained, large and comfortable rooms, magnificent , friendly and professional staff. Time to relax, enjoy nature, eat well, sleep like a king and learn something about Mexican history and cuture.

One of the nicest and most memorable experiences we've ever had at a hotel. The hacienda is gorgeous, the rooms are huge, quiet, and comfortable, the service is warm and attentive, and the grounds are amazing (especially the huge botanical garden). It was so relaxing we wanted to stay forever. We loved the intimacy of the property (there are only 11 rooms) and the lost-in-time quality (even though it has every modern amenity). The only two negative points I'd mention is that the pool is very cold and the wine pours are on the skimpy side.

The staff could not have been more heady at the hacienda Santa Rosa. Beautiful large rooms and delicious homemade cooking. I was very happy there for two nights.

The old Hacienda is all you see in the pics and more. Food is not up to par and location is a bit far from everywhere (although that is probably true of most Haciendas in that region)

A pure gem with very nice people in a fantastic environment.

lady on the front desk was trying to sell her own stuff and bit annoying, but Edgar and other male waiters were outstanding - they created a really warm, romantic environment.
