Hacienda El Santuario San Miguel de Allende

Amazing old Hacienda, and location at its best

The staff , this is not general but tried to contact the property weeks in advance to get information about Día de los Muertos, nobody answered the booking account, by phone they were not helpful, they give all the information wrong. Concierge needs to be improved. We didn’t have water and the receptionist told us at 1 am, “sorry there are no bottles left” where you cannot drink tap water in Mexico. Hopefully the security guy helped us and brought us some bottles. Appart from the security, bellboys and servers, the staff is not helpful and very friendly.

The location is ideal, 5 minutes away walking from the centre. The Hacienda is full of charm and authenticity. The rooftop terrace is beautiful, specially in the evening/night. The beds and pillows very comfortable. Very quiet at night.

Breakfast was included in our reservation. When we sat down for breakfast we were informed there was a brunch for that day and all the different dishes with no explanation about pricing. When we were finished, they brought us two bills, one with no cost (it corresponded to the included breakfast) and the other corresponding to the brunch with a cost we were supposed to pay there and then. We were taken by surprise as no one had explained that the brunch was independent from the breakfast we had included. The waitress apologised for not informing but no further attention was made towards us for the mistake. It was a pity to end a nearly perfect stay with our family this way, if it hadn't been for this detail it would have been excellent.

The hotel is very clean and presentable. The artwork is unique and beautiful. The staff is friendly and courteous.

We were charged for two breakfasts our first morning at the restaurant in the hotel. When we booked the room we were informed on the booking that breakfast was included and children are free. We discussed this with the front desk agent. She said she had to review the booking agreement. After reviewing it, she agreed to refund the charges but now that we are back in the U.S., we have yet to see the refund or any communication about the refund. If we are going to get charged for breakfast, please don't say on the booking that breakfast is included in the package purchased. Our bathroom was beautiful. The water pressure was excellent. We even used the jets with our bath. The only drawback was the slow draining water. Otherwise, we loved pretty much everything else.

The property itself was quite beautiful not that far from the center. Only stayed for a night since we didn’t want to travel to late from San Miguel de Allende to Guanajuato. Loved the boutique style hotel, with individualized spacious rooms, enjoyed the balcony and artisanal hand made soaps that they offer during our stay.

It would be nice if they took advantage of the space to place Live Music/DJ/Tailored Music Playlist on weekends and set up a small open bar with Signature Drinks and small shareable appetizers.

The Hacienda El Santuario was a nice find. We wanted a place that was central, but not in the middle of the noisy activity and never-ending parties around the town's central square. It's on a beautiful quite street, just blocks away from all the action. The setting is stunning, with all the touches of a colonial gem. Room was very comfortable, although the A/C didn't seem to kick out quite enough cold in this 90 degree+ weather (not an issue most of the year). The staff was one of the best parts: extremely cheerful and helpful with great tips. Thanks!

Very typical Mexican decoration which makes it a lovely hotel.

At first we didn’t have internet access in our room, but we were given a different one and everything was solved.

Location. It was a few blocks from the city’s center. The room was spacious and comfortable.

It could be noisy since it’s in front of the courtyard and the windows and doors do not have insulation. The bathroom door is very hard to close; and when it closes it snaps very loud. There were hairs in the shower’s stall.

Beautiful Hotel walking distance from center of town, the mercado, and restaurants and clubs. The hacienda is filled with beautiful artwork from artisans all over Mexico that really immerses you in Mexican Culture. The terrace over the restaurant was beautiful at night, 100% recommend.

Our room was gorgeous, it was a two story master suite with a living room downstairs and an outdoor patio. The only thing is that because the room faced west, the sun blasted into the room and made it really warm. AC was in the room but a fan to help the AC circulate would be very helpful.

this hotel boutique is PERFECTO in every way! The decor is so artistic and relaxing. The service is A1 plus! The bedding, shower, tv, are first class! There are so many fine touches like water provided in room, chocolate after cleaning, and late check out. The food is delicious and the restaurant staff is lovely!

I loved everything! I will stay here every time!

We stayed in the beautifull and spacious Paradise Room. The bed was firm and comfortable. The cleanliness was exceptional. The staff is completely service oriented and eager to please to ensure your stay is unforgettable. Hacienda el Sanctuario is a peaceful haven in which the rooms surround ample courtyards housing colonial decorations, manicured landscaping, siting areas, flowing water fountains with bird songs to compliment the ambiance. The restaurant and bar are located right in front of the Paradise room. The mixologist tending the bar was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate! The service at the restaurant was off the hook! Try the green juice. Breakfast here is excellent to start off your day! The concierge's recommendations and bookings were on point! Location is awesome and close to everything. Bring walking shoes! You will fell the paved rocks on your feet.
