We've never wanted to go to the same place year after year, nor stayed on the resort grounds most of the time, until we became owners at Hacienda Encantada (H.E.). Now we usually go to H.E. 2 weeks a year. Yes, it's safe! And it's well maintained, has stunning views, and in general is gorgeous inside and out. For the last 2 weeks Fernan, the amazing and charming activities director, kept us well entertained.The 8 am "meditation" class includes memory exercises, trust exercises, and enlightenments as well, and sometimes (optional) ends with serious conversations that let you really know others and help each other. If you can pull yourself away, the water aerobics class at 9 is great. Fernan's cooking classes are a treat, too! And the water volleyball after lunch was always so fun!!!! (One thing we learned at checkout was that there is a lttle bit billed to your room every day to tip the maids, but the cart drivers are not included in that, so it's best to tip them a little bit each time you have a ride. You can tip Fernan on Friday. Saturday is his day off.) Whale watching is great in February!!!
