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.

Excellent property. The property is family friendly, however there is a complete wing of the hacienda that is adults only, which is not specified when booking through Expedia. The adult-only area is much more luxurious than the family-friendly rooms.

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.
