If you are in Mexico or anywhere near Cuernavaca and you are planning to get away , this is the place you want to be . It's beautiful , serene , a breath of fresh air. They will take good care of you here without being intrusive .
The hotel is white , everything is white . I don't know how they maintain it but it gives it an air of grandeur and beauty you won't see anywhere else .
The rooms are huge . We stayed in the 03. Huge king size bed , wide bathroom and shower (no bath) . Stayed here for 3 nights . All the rooms have a large common lounge area or balcony where you can sit and read or have your meetings . The rooms also have a an air conditioner and a ceiling fan. The ceilings are really high so the air takes a while to circulate but once it does you are in for a treat even in summer .
In the 03 room I noticed some noise at night from the 100 bars / restaurants on the corner of the hotel . Okay maybe not 100 but there's a lot of them . There's also a DJ in the hotel spinning on Friday nights so if you are one of those light sleepers , shut all your windows (bathroom and bedroom ) and that should help . They also have ear plugs free on the both sides of the bed stand so the noise shouldn't be a problem .
They have two pools here . One is in the middle of the restaurant (for the extroverts ), there's a more secluded one on the other side of the hotel for is introverts . You'll find it.
The menu here is robust . Breakfast is free . They have Mexican options ( chillaquilles and such ) American options (scrambled eggs ) and healthy options (granola , fruits , oatmeal ) . The dinner menu is robust too. Tried the pork belly, lentil soup, didn't care for the Caesar salad but that's just me (too much mayo) . Prices range from 7-10 usd per meal. There was paella on the weekend when I was there .
The other reason you should stay here is that it's central and only a walking distance from all the tourist places you want to go here . It's opposite the palacio de cortez, right beside the zocalo, town square , market places , two minutes walk from the Robert Brady Museum, the cathedrals , it's all one big square .
I found this place on trip advisor and I'll gladly recommend , give some pointers and even come back . It's even more beautiful at night when they have lights in all the trees and candles lit up everywhere . It will convert the Un-romantics !
Don't forget to tip the waiters , i noticed nobody was doing that . They are ever so attentive without being intrusive and they all speak some level of English.
If you buy a bottle of wine outside the hotel, they will open it for you at the bar .
PS- I looked at other hotels on trip advisor and getting here Iv seen two other ones I looked at . I'm glad I picked this place .
Take a trip to Tepoztlan to see the mountains of you have time .The hotel will call you a cab that will wait for you for 3 hours and bring you back . We paid 600 pesos. It's a magical experience.
