We traveled in early December to Alamos and stayed three nights at the Hacienda. We could not have been happier with our stay there. This is old-time Mexico that has been lovingly restored and furnished. The grounds are beautiful and open for wandering and exploring. The pools were unfortunately not heated so we did not give them a try. The trees, flowers, and vegetation give the grounds a very quiet, soothing and relaxing feel. Definitely take a tour of the whole facility if you can.||We ate at both the Cantina and Santiago's. The food and service was always good, and the filet at Santiago's was so nicely done I had it twice. The tequila bar is truly impressive for the number of varieties they have. Breakfast included was good, and they never ran out of beer. We had mixed luck with restaurants around town, mostly due to their open hrs not matching our timing.||Our San Agustin room was in the 'Spa' area, which is nicely secluded. The room was very comfortable, shower head was awesome, and the A/C worked well. The bed was cushy with a very nice comforter, but it is not an extra firm bed if that's what you like.||The staff obviously enjoy working there and took good care of us. Very friendly, and they knew more than enough English to make up for our very limited Spanish. The location is just a couple blocks from the main plaza, and the whole town is easily walkable from the resort. The 357 stairs to the lookout above town are worth climbing for the view, but they are a challenge. We also hiked up in the mountains a bit - the trails are extensive but confusing for first-timers.||We both had a massage at the spa, and my wife said it was one of the best she's ever had, and she's hard to impress. I had a deep tissue that was great, but of course it was not quite as soothing.||Our group spent many hours hanging on the patio near the cantina just enjoying the view and grounds. It's a VERY relaxing environment to enjoy. We will definitely be coming back again.
