Visiting Hacienda Xcanatun should be a required stop for anyone entering Yucatan. A perfect blend of the colonial past with the modern comfort, extremely kind staff. The restaurant offers excellent appetizers and service, and even if some of the entrees were poorly conceived and no so good in taste, the whole experience is worth a repeated visit. The spa is...

I'll start with the bad - the ONLY negative about this hotel is that it is away from anywhere else, so there's nowhere you'd want to wander to nearby. However, why would you need to wander?

The complete thoroughness to every detail showed in the beautiful restoration of the hacienda as well as... More

I stayed at this hotel the last day of my vacation in the area. I was looking for a nice place to rest and relax after several days of adventure activities. The place was very quiet and even there were other guests it felt like there was nobody else. I stayed in a two level room, very spacious. The food... More

After searching the internet for location ideas, preferably at a local Hacienda, we found the Hacienda Xcanatun website. The pictures of the facility, along with the wedding package price, caught our attention and we contacted the Hacienda to see if the dates... More
