This place is absolutely beautiful. It's been wonderfully restored and it was a delight to stay here. Make sure you stay more than one night, due to other parts of our trip we were only able to stay one night and didn't get to take full advantage of the property. Definitely leave time to explore the grounds. Our only disappointment about the facilities is that the outdoor pool and hot tub were closed even though it didn't say anything about it on the website and they didn't mention it to us (we were there in March).

Hacienda El Carmen is a rare gem! an oasis of tranquility where time slows down, and every visit is more magical than the last. This was my third stay, and each time, the experience somehow becomes even more extraordinary. The property itself is breathtaking, a beautifully preserved masterpiece that transports you to another era. But what truly makes it unforgettable is the people. The owner personally connects with each guest, and the entire team embodies genuine warmth and impeccable service. It’s a level of hospitality that feels almost lost in today’s fast-paced world. Mornings are extra special with the sounds of the birds, horseback rides through the serene grounds, interacting with the donkeys and geese, and the stillness of nature around us. The spa is beyond indulgent, offering treatments that melt away stress in one sitting. And the food? Absolutely divine! Every meal is a masterpiece, showcasing the rich flavors of Mexico in the most exquisite way. Just over an hour from Guadalajara, this is more than a getaway, it’s a sanctuary! If you're searching for a place to truly unwind, recharge, and be immersed in authentic Mexican hospitality, look no further. Hacienda El Carmen is simply paradise.

The property was adorable and unique. It was surrounded by beautiful antiques that took me back to yesteryear. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating and we all had a magnificent experience at the health spa where we were treated like royalty. I will to return and stay at a different room every single time. Congratulations to the owners on such an exceptional property and unique surroundings.

This a beautiful Hacienda from the 16th century with a building from the 18th century. Very well kept and maintained, clean all around. However, expect a lot of critters since it is located in a rural area. Some staff were nice and others were indifferent and less helpful.

Hacienda Del Carmen is an amazing treasure. The property takes you back 500yrs. As soon as you enter, one feels the history. The owner Monica Baez is 5th generation owner and has done an amazing job restoring it while keeping the culture and history intact. The spa and its services are remarkable. The ancient building has been turned into a 5star experience. Keep in mind that the Hacienda is over 500 yrs and in the middle of working ranches, so you will occasionally smell unpleasant scents but nothing that made our stay unpleasant. We will definitely be back.
