Beautiful, historic property but inconsistent services and amenities.
Grounds - lovely, intricately carved wood accents, lush gardens, Spanish-colonial architecture.
Rooms - Spacious, comfortable beds, good AC. Large spa tub, but no bubble bath. No hair dryer or working TV in the rooms. Gorgeous leather-woven chairs but it's not easy to sit down and enjoy a meal bc chairs and table on the balcony are different heights.
Restaurant - There's only 1 restaurant on the property, not 3. Food quality and service is variable. Too expensive for what you get, and there's a bit of nickeI-and diming that we haven't encountered at other resorts. Numerous food items on the menu were unavailable, which limited the selections.
Amenities - Nice pool area, beautiful gardens. But several things noted on the hotel map are non-existent (i.e. a stable and horse area). There's a planetarium on site, which is pretty cool, but the projector needs a new bulb as images were pretty dim.
Proximity - within sight of Chichen Itza, but not within walking distance with surrounding jungle and roads. It's about 10 minutes away by car, depending on traffic.
Car service to airport - Terrible. Driver decided to take us on an unrequested scenic drive thru Valladolid rather than the direct route to the Cancun airport. Worse, he got lost in Valladolid, and my husband had to redirect him to the highway. Had we not caught on, we would have missed our flight. Not worth the hefty price we paid for this.
