Description
Your total experience in relaxation at Hacienda El Carmen Resort and Spa begins as you enter the gates through a cobblestone driveway circling a manicured lawn and gardens. The impressive columns of this 17th century country mansion impress you with their graceful magnificence. One of the many smiling staff members greets you with a cool eucalyptus scented towel and leads you into the hacienda reception, where your pampering continues. At a staff ratio of almost three to each guest, you will be immediately led through the enormous patio to your own antique filled room and feel the Hacienda is your home.
The five foot thick walls were once built to protect the family and villagers from the violence of the many revolutions it has stood. They now have become your buffer to the outside world and envelope you in a world of long ago, while offering all the modern comforts and amenities you would expect in a five star resort.
The enormous newly built spa is a world unto itself. The largest of any spa in a hacienda in Mexico, it is filled with a combination of the newest and most ancient of Mexican healing and relaxing therapies. The high vaulted ceilings, once housing the agricultural products of the hacienda, now offer a feeling of magnificent spaciousness.
The spa offers both mixed and individual therapy areas, including wine, water, and clay therapies, both wraps, innovative baths, and massages. Facials and a full service beauty salon are also part of this enormous structure. Let your imagination roam into the past as your body is pampered in this unique way as only Hacienda El Carmen offers.
The pampering doesn’t end with the spa or your luxurious room. The food at Hacienda El Carmen is famous for its creative blend of Mexican and international cuisine and its fantastic presentations. Whether dining under the graceful 17th century arches on the flower filled patio, or in the elegant Meridien dining room with its well stocked wine cellar made from the original dungeon, or casually around the pool, you are guaranteed a wonderful experience in cuisine.
You will soon feel the hacienda with only 26 rooms to be your own space to wander and enjoy. The ten acres include walking paths, a six-hole practice golf course, pool, outdoor Jacuzzi, horse stables and lovely romantic shady corners to relax or chat with other guests. The two bars offer, of course, an excellent selection of international drinks, specializing in what else? Tequila for all tastes. Hacienda el Carmen is in the Tequila Valley, now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Tours to the many fascinating sites from the round pyramids of Guachimontones to the many boutique distilleries in the area, are all arranged for you by the helpful staff.
You truly step into the past when you are a guest at Hacienda el Carmen, come enjoy this unique experience and you may never want to return to the 21st century!
