“Are you experienced?”

Hacienda Temozon

Jan 14, 2006
15/16 found this review helpful

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.

We have just recently stayed in this Hacienda for 3 nights. It goes without saying that the building is beautifully restored and the pool and garden area is exquisite. We found the staff very friendly and courteous. The food in the restaurant was generally good and the bedrooms were fantastic. Give tips as the staff deserve them.

So what is the catch well if you are staying for more than 24hrs beware of the packs of roaming dogs in the village which bark all night and sleep all day which does not equate to a relaxing nights sleep. We were also woken up each morning instead of by the birds at 7am but by loud music from a radio of a resident in the town.

They are aware of the above and are trying to improve the situation but it was a little late for our visit.

All this said we do regret that we did not complete the hacienda tour ideally not located by any small villages although we would return but this time for only 24hrs. (woof woof)

We got married at Temozón las year , January 31st. Our 125 guests keep remembering it as the best wedding they have ever been at.

The hotel is elegant, majestic, historic building with a lot of unique touches all over the place. Huge gardens very well kept, with lots of flowers.
All rooms are different, and done with so much love and care and the personal touch of the cleaning ladies that decorate your bed and bathroom with lots of petals and fresh flowers, the smell of their natural shampoos, the jacuzzis with flowers in it, the candles, it's like a dream.
All the employees are from Yucatán and have that humbleness mixed with pride of their culture, and you can see they looooove their job.

The setting is amazing wit those majestic gardens and gorgeous swimming pool. The food was excelent and specialy Xótchil, the wedding coordinator and Daniel the sales manager were always there to help us.

We went back for our anniversary and we just felt at home. New tour: a must! through the small rail road inside the Hacienda on a wooden "trc" they call it pulled my a donkey and accompanied by 2 lovely gardners, they took us to a cenote nerar by and told us a lot of stories about the Hacienda, and they also made us laugh a lot. We loved them for being so nice and caring.

We have gone to all the other Haciendas so here is our review:

PUERTA CAMPECHE: the newest one, located in downtown colonial Campeche, service and food are superb as always, since there are no Haciendas in down town, they bough a block of colonial houses and made them into one small luxurious hotel. The rooms are huge (as almost in all the Haciendas) and beautiful. The bar and the library are very elegant as well.
They even flooded one of the houses and turned into a swimming pool, you have to see it! Don't miss the museums about the history of campeche, and learn why it is a walled city, they say there are still some families that carry the last names of some famous pirates of the Caribbean.

UAYAMÓN Also in Campeche but in the jungle and next to beautiful archaeological sites, about 8 o 10 rooms only, the main "house" casco of the Hacienda includes the Restauarnt with very good mayan food.
Very private, romantic. The swimming pool was built inside a torn stone walled building where they used to grind the "maguey" to substract the henequén (the material used to make ropes, with natural fiber) so you ar surrounded by the impressive walls and columns standing out of the water.
Simply beautiful. room decoartion, service and employees exceed your expectations in service.

SAN JOSÉ Near Mérida (about 1 hour drive) next to other small towns where you can go out to get distracted (Tixcocob) Very well done, luciois gardens, sky blue buildings, they served us dinner right in front of the small chappel, all surrounded by candles reflecting on the water. Not even a picture can describe the pleasure and the honor of being in such a lovely place. the pool is also gorgeous, surrounded by palm trees and vegetation where lot's of birds hide if you stay still.

SANTA ROSA: We stayed in one of the "mayan houses" beautiful, thatch roofs, outdoor jacuzzi with petals, you can hardly see the employees except for the gardners all dresed in white with their traditional guayabera and white hats. We also had an unforgetable dinner on the outisde porche with other 3 couples, each table with enough distance to feel the privacy, lit by torches and lots and lots of candles, it makes you feel like you are the owner of the Hacienda. Service excellent as well.
There were more bugs thatn we like to see because it had rained the day before, but all the rooms in all the haciendas have mosquito repellant, flash light, Bug killer and an umbrella.

All the Haciendas are like a jewelry collection, excellent service and always exceed your expectations. you must at least visit one in your life time.

“great family vacation”

Hacienda Temozon

3/5 found this review helpful

march 2005
Our family 2 adults 2 six year old girls just return from a charming adventure staying at Hacienda Temozon. We stayed in "cuarto patron" the largest suite, which was extremly comfortable. we had a king sized bed and they brought in 2 twin beds for the girls. The room also had a hammack which the girls tooks turns sleeping in. The bathroom was great with a large stone tub! The description does not do the hotel justice, the spa is great, always could get a treatment and the did mini massage for the kids. They still have the railroad tracks from the days of henica, which had a donkey pull us to a cenote. (kids loved the donkey ,Jose) They also had horses and peacocks and many types of birds. The staff was wonderful and the food was great!

6/8 found this review helpful

We have just returned from our trip to the Yucatan Peninsula, where we stayed at Hacienda Temozon for three absolutely magnificent days. The service was absolutely fabulous, so were the beautifully restored buildings and the excellent (and rather inexpensive) original Mexican food. We did not encounter the "bug- and language-problems" mentioned by other reviewers: We did notice the bug repellant spray in our room, but didn't need to use it once during our three-night stay. The manager of the hotel spoke english perfectly (and spanish too by the way; we heard he comes from Hungary) and so did the staff at reception and in the restaurant. Enjoy the pool in the beautiful garden while watching the peacocks and drinking a fruity cocktail. All in all it was one of the most exclusive, secluded, romantic places I have been to and would recommend it from the spot!
