We stayed for 3 nights in a terrace suite which is a large bedroom, living room, dressing room and bathroom with a private entry courtyard with a fountain and separate terrace off the bedroom/living room areas. The room was large and rustic with traditional furnishings and so private it felt like we were staying in our own little house. Our only complaint was the extremely hard king sized bed which made for uncomfortable sleeping.
We ate all of our meals at the hotel restaurant and the food was delicious (especially the Mexican specialties) and the service was first rate. The bar area overlooking the garden was also lovely and we enjoyed afternoon cocktails sitting in the garden. The staff were all so welcoming and accommodating to anything we asked for - they always made us feel like we were their only concern. The hotel grounds are gorgeous with beautifully landscaped gardens and the exotic birds are a special touch. Who knew peacocks were so acrobatic...
The absolute highlight of our stay were the treatments we had at the outstanding Spa Orlane. It is five star lush and luxurious all the way and is located in what was the original owner's beautiful house. Our massages were excellent and the pre-treatment water journey (a steam/soaking pool/sauna/shower/hot tub circuit) was amazing as was the extremely attentive staff. The spa also has a private swimming pool where you can relax either before or after your treatment, and since this pool is only accessible through the spa it's very quiet and private. If you enjoy spa, then make it a point to splurge for a treatment (or two) here!
We can't recommend this hotel any more highly and look forward to our next opportunity to return to Cuernavaca and the wonderful Las Mananitas. Luxury, relaxation and a romantic weekend are just about guaranteed...
