The Mision del Sol is a deluxe spa outside Cuernavaca with beautiful facilities and a very accommodating staff. The grounds are astonishingly maintained and feature lush foliage of great variety. The pool is spectacularly beautiful and large, there is a divinely relaxing jacuzzi, and the spa treatments are excellent; I had a terrific Shiatsu session with an assured therapist named Kenya, and Eduardo gave me a vigorous and rejuvenating Thai massage. My partner also had an elaborate facial that he said was the best he had ever received.
We had only two complaints. Our room was surprisingly spartan with no wall hangings and only one small rug on the concrete floor, and the beds were very, very firm, making sleep a little problematic. The performance of the restaurant was also quite uneven; Mexican dishes were generally very well executed, but those in a more international style were hit or miss.
The spa has a very well equipped gym, but it's best to get there either early in the morning or late in the day because except for the roof and some side glass walls, it is completely open to the elements--and it gets very hot in June!
