What it is

A 17th century plantation transformed into a gracious 28-room hotel, with a show-stopping outdoor pool, spa in a cenote, and an airy restaurant.

What it isn't

Forgetting to encourage relaxation. There are hammocks set up for lounging practically everywhere you look.

What we think

Gleaming checkerboard tile floors. Rough-hewn woodwork. Fanciful wrought iron beds. You’ll feel like you’re stepping back in time in each and every Spanish Colonial guest room and suite at the circa 17th century Hacienda Temozon Sur, albeit with all the plush amenities of modern life—including air conditioning, free wifi, Egyptian cotton bed linens, whirlpool tubs, and so much more. We recommend spending as much time as possible at the spa, where organic Mayan-inspired treatments are offered in cenote caverns (yes, you’re welcome to take a dip in the flower petal strewn waters after your massage). Did we mention U.S. Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton have stayed here for R&R?

You're here because

The hotel is pet-friendly for a very small fee.

The Moment

Sitting under the palm trees that flourish in the open-air at the hotel’s restaurant, you’re loving the sounds coming from the forest canopy out the open shutters, where toucans and blue Yucatan Jay’s frolic…and sound like a white noise machine sprung to life.

Restaurants & Bars

Temozon Restaurant proposes a blend of regional and international cuisine. Most of the ingredients are organic and come from the gardens. Fresh baked bread is "made at the hacienda" and fresh fish are brought in daily from the surrounding coastal villages.

Bar Las Gargolas - Offers a variety of Luxury Collection cocktails as well as local mixes.

Location

Only 47 minutes away from Mérida International Airport, and within a quick drive of multiple limestone cenotes.
