At the end of a long dusty road, littered with wild dogs, clumsy boughganvilla plants and, well, litter, is the Hacienda Temozon--a bold, beautiful study in preservation and hospitality. Though it's not as romantic or discreet as its sister property San Jose, it is truly stunning in its own right, not to mention dignified and self-assured.
You'll read that this is where President Clinton stayed while visiting the Yucatan and it's very easy to imagine the former Commander In Chief and fellow dignitaries sipping espresso in the open-air restaurant while peering over the balcony to the stunning (and incredibly large) pool below. Without question, there's just something about this hotel that feels "important."
Those of you who have stayed here know exactly what I'm talking about and your rave reviews corroborate my claims (It's something of an Indiana Jones film, no?). But I couldn't help noticing the few posts that complained of language barriers, lizards, bugs, frogs, and the like.
If you're contemplating a stay at Temozon, please pay these claims no mind.
If you're the traveler I think you are (adventurous, curious, open-minded, culturally tolerant, hungry for new experiences and ready for a bit of magic) you'll relish the lullabies of frogs, and understand that gardens this lush and tropical attract not only humans, but critters of all sizes. You'll get it: structures erected in the 1700's and recently restored/renovated can't possibly retain their history AND function as a hermetically sealed modern hotel. The two ideas are mutually exclusive! No, you'll appreciate that the designers salvaged as much of Temozon's past as possible so you can set your imagination free (and still sip the finest bottle of Rioja in your petal-studded plunge pool at the same time).
Best of all, you'll feel removed from the throngs of tourists in nearby Merida, Cancun, Tulum, Chichen Itza et al, and thank yourself for taking the road less traveled...even if it is long and dusty.
