Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this charming boutique hotel set in a beautiful rural area. The staff was incredibly attentive and full of helpful local knowledge, which made my experience even more enjoyable. The spacious room was stylishly decorated, but I did have a couple of downsides with flies around the pool area and some noise during the evenings. Overall, a lovely getaway with much to offer!
Our stay at the Hacienda de San Rafael was absolutely unforgettable. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to cater to our needs, and the setting was wonderfully romantic. The food was exceptional, but be prepared for a set menu in the evenings. The rooms were beautifully decorated with rustic charm but still had all the modern amenities we could ask for, making it a fantastic value for money.
I had a lovely stay at this upscale Hacienda, where the atmosphere was peaceful and the staff very welcoming. The rooms were spacious and well-furnished, perfect for relaxation, but the remote location means a car is necessary for exploring. Dining options were excellent but somewhat pricey, with limited choices. Overall, it was a refreshing and luxurious retreat, though costs may add up due to extras.
The Hacienda de San Rafael is a truly beautiful oasis, adorned with lush gardens and charming accommodations. The warm hospitality from the staff creates an inviting atmosphere, making it a wonderful place to relax. However, some may find it feels a bit too English, given that the owner and chef are from the UK, which might detract from the authentic Spanish experience. The location, while scenic, is a bit remote, which could be a drawback for those looking to explore nearby attractions without a car.
This hotel truly felt like an enchanting oasis, tucked away and perfect for relaxation. The rooms were impressively spacious and tastefully decorated, providing a comfortable retreat after busy days. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff who seemed genuinely eager to ensure we had a wonderful experience. The dining was exceptional, with a delightful set menu featuring local ingredients that left us eager for our next meal. However, the somewhat remote location may not be ideal for families seeking constant activity, but it encouraged us to unwind and savor the surroundings.
