Hacienda Xcaret0

This place is magical! It feels like a home away from home, if my home had a beautiful pool, adorable doggies, monkeys nearby, and a super lovely family in it! I wanted a little break from life & booked this stay pretty last minute. They were so accommodating and booked me no problem. I decided to rent a car which I’d recommend for other guests, since you’ll need it to get around // to the grocery // anything else. It’s not really walkable. But driving turned out to be super easy! And i loved how this was away from the buzz of playa del Carmen. It was close enough that I could travel in for certain things but that I could come back to the most peaceful and relaxing home base. I would love to go back!

Nothing! This was truly a magical stay.

The property is gorgeous, comfortable, clean, and relaxing. Rodrigo was there to meet us when we arrived and he gave us excellent recommendations and service and made us feel right at home. Our suite was perfect, and we slept soundly. We loved taking our coffee by the pool in the morning. The amenities of Xcaret, Playa, etc are all relatively nearby. The property is relatively small, so you get the warm comfort of a family-owned, boutique property, which we love. You can contrast that with some of the overly expensive all-inclusive properties down the road. We'll be recommending this place to all our friends that visit the area.

The property is slightly hidden from the main road, so it can be tricky to find if you don't know where it is. There's also no meals provided or adjacent restaurant or store, so you need to plan ahead. Highly encourage renting a car, although if you don't mind using local transit, the colectivos are easy to navigate. We used those little buses to get up and down the main highway just fine.

This place is a hidden gem in the area! The hacienda grounds are very beautiful and comfortable. The pool is a great size and the ability to use the kitchen is a plus. We had a rental car during our stay which I would recommend to make travel much easier. It’s about 5 min from Downtown Playa Del Carmen (given low traffic) and a quick jump off the main road. If you are looking to explore the area this is definitely a great option for housing.

I wish there was a sign on the main road to let guests know which entrance to take. We had to ask several people to point us in the right direction. Once you know where it is it’s super easy, just the initial was a bit tricky.

Gorgeous quaint property with classic hacienda experience. The pool is very cute and nestled among the greenery. Very relaxing to disconnect (with free wifi reaching the whole property for when you need to reconnect). Our unit had a decent sized kitchenette, and there was a cute bakery/cafe within walking distance. Easy to get anywhere in the area with a car since it's right off of Highway 307. We saw monkeys in the trees nearby.

I think it would have been difficult without a car.

We had a lovely, warm welcome on arrival. The place itself feels like a little oasis and our bedroom was spacious, comfy and clean. We were only really there to sleep as like most people we headed to xcaret for the day but we found it very cosy and relaxing and absolutely loved the dogs there. We also Reay appreciated the cute beers in the fridge and snacks in the room, it was a nice touch. Great place to stay near the park.

It would be great if there were options on site for drinks and breakfast although we fully appreciate we should have read the finer details about this. We also recommend driving to xcaret even if it is really close as the roads felt a bit unsafe to walk.

Rodrigo was quick to resolve any questions/requests and the property was beautiful and tranquil. We woke up to spider monkeys swinging by overhead one day, a lovely surprise. All the facilities were great, a good home base from which to explore the riviera maya.

A little difficult to access. For people who are driving from Playa: Google maps is wrong, you need to drive PAST the property, further south on route 307 past a police checkpoint to a U-turn point where you can then take the highway back north and take a little side exit.

The house is AMAZING! Rooms are very comfortable and beautifully decorated. There are snacks and drinks. Skip (the owner) was very friendly and helpful. We felt like home. Location is walking distance to Xcaret parks. Its a bit far from the city but very close to bus stop to the city center. There is no other place I would stay in Playa del Carmen!

Nothing at all. Maybe a breakfast on site would be an improvement but it's not a problem since there is cafe next door with a great breakfast.

Love the small comfort of home and luxurious rooms. Walking distance from Xplore and Xcaret park. Great if you have a car. Difficult but not impossible taking public transit. would recommend for anyone wanting to relax quietly. Skip and Esther are really great host. Appreciated the beer in the fridge when I arrived!

Parking space is small. but honestly you could park outside on the road since there is no traffic.

Loved the accommodation and everyone was very kind. The location was a way from most things so did need to hire a car, which was very expensive

Location, no food at hotel. Noise from theme park

beautiful hacienda in a hidden nice garden. saw beautiful birds and a hiant iguana. great place from the hustle and bustle of playa dC. nice touch are snacks, drinks and coffee in the room. we went to the beach Paamul, which was great, quiet and good restaurant.

no breakfast or dinner, its about a 10" drive, but we knew that. a bit hard to find, once you know its easy.
