Hacienda de San Antonio

"Why did this hotel catch your attention? What's the vibe?Getting to this pink palace hidden deep in Colima's verdant tropical cloud forest was a feat. And part of the adventure. The colonial coffee plantation offers a slice of Mexican luxury you don't find elsewhere, with Jaguar basalt stone carved canals, pools with volcano views, and breezy loggias and courtyards offering space for all. What's the backstory?This is an independently owned property and has a sister property on the coast, Cuixmala. Opulent and muy romantico. Tell us all about the accommodations. Any tips on what to book?Volcanic stone and ceramic floor terrace with big poster beds and fireplaces. French doors open to a terrace, and bright colored textiles remind you you're in Mexico. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at?Don't come here for tacos. Colima is known for its abundance of vegetables and fruits, like citrus and avocados—many of which are grown on the property's Rancho Jabalí. The more subtle Mexico mountain cuisine steers away form typical Mexican food, and offered less spicy plates of meat. Juices were aplenty. And the service?Service was spartan, and not necessary to enjoy the stay. It's a pretty straightforward property in terms of what it offers, so it was better to explore and discover the estate than be hand held by staff. What type of travelers will you find here?I was the only guest while there! It felt like my own dreamy private villa. What about the neighborhood? Does the hotel fit in, make itself part of the scene?It's very isolated with not much around, except chacalacas and jaguars prowling the cloud forest, so you do want to stay on property and experience what the hotel can do—and watch the volcano puff away from a poolside chair. Is there anything you'd change?No, it was magical because it of its individuality and unwillingness to conform to what many travelers want or need. This place has charm and integrity, and making too many changes would disrupt that. Any other hotel features worth noting?Don't rush off property, enjoy the pool! Hard to take your eyes off that volcano. The birds in the surrounding forest are incredible and worth getting a pair of binocs to do some birdwatching. Colors like you've never seen before. Ditto for some of the flora. Bottom line: Worth it? Why?Yes, unlike any other place on planet earth. Euro colonial meets Mexican mountain jungle. Worth every penny and every bump on the long drive up to it." - Adam H. Graham

These Hotels Take Farm-to-Table to the Next Level

"At Hacienda de San Antonio, a regal pink hotel set on a monumental estate in Colima, Mexico, guests can wake with the roosters and head out to the neighboring Jabali Ranch to milk cows and goats. The ranch, which belongs to the hotel and provides it with fresh produce, also has a coffee roastery and cheesery where each process can be observed." - Mary Holland

I spent four nights at Hacienda de San Antonio over New Year’s Eve.||Strengths:|The property is absolutely stunning. Beautifully preserved since the late 1800s, it is rich in history and immersed in extraordinary nature. The setting is peaceful, authentic, and visually exceptional. All the rooms are big and full of light. The staff is another major highlight, all local, incredibly warm, and genuinely eager to make guests feel welcome. A special mention goes to Antonio, our guide, who was outstanding: knowledgeable, punctual, and a pleasure to spend time with during horseback riding, ATV tours, and hikes.||Flaws:|The food is the main weakness. Considering Mexico’s outstanding culinary standards, the cuisine here is surprisingly average, with meat often difficult to chew. Service, while kind and well-intentioned, lacks polish and consistent training — delays, missed wine and water refills, and occasional service etiquette issues occur. Sleep quality could also be improved; the mattresses and pillows do not meet five-star expectations.||Overall:|An exceptional property with remarkable staff and setting, but in need of improvements in cuisine, service training, and sleep comfort to fully match its potential.

Where do I even start? If I could give this place more than five stars, I would. I almost didn’t want to write a review because nothing I say will truly do it justice. Everything — the design, landscaping, architecture, and attention to detail — is absolutely breathtaking. The property is massive, with multiple living areas, restaurants, pools, and both indoor and outdoor seating spaces. It’s large enough that you see other guests, but it’s designed in a way that you always feel completely private, like you have your own secluded retreat. You’re surrounded by roughly 4,000 hectares of lush greenery with constant views of the volcano from nearly every point on the property. The ranch itself is beautiful and absolutely worth visiting — you get to see the horses and animals, how they’re raised, and how everything operates. It’s all incredibly well done. They organized our pickup and drop-off in an Escalade/Suburban, which already set the tone for the stay. The car was stocked with cookies, chips, and water. Throughout the property, there are always little snacks available — chips, fried plantains, tissues, and water — so you can grab something whenever you’d like. The food is outstanding. Everything is organic and sourced directly from their ranch. They offer different menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with daily specials. If there’s something you want that’s not on the menu, they’re more than happy to accommodate — and you can even request it ahead of time so the chef can prepare properly. I’m someone who only ever drank oat or soy milk, but after milking a cow and tasting the fresh milk, I was converted — I was drinking cow’s milk, eating all the ranch cheeses, and fully embracing everything they produce. You truly taste the quality and care in every dish. The in-room dining experience is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. They don’t just wheel in a standard hotel cart. They set up a full wooden dining table with proper chairs, a tablecloth, and candles — it feels like a real restaurant experience inside your room. Since the rooms are massive, it works perfectly. Some nights, it’s incredibly cozy to light the fireplace and have a full dinner in your room. The service goes above and beyond. They anticipate everything. You don’t even have to light the fireplace yourself — they come and do it for you. Anything you request, they make happen. The bartenders are great, the drinks are excellent, there’s a charming billiard room, a beautiful pool, and even a cozy TV room on the rooftop terrace. We were there during the Super Bowl and had the entire TV room to ourselves — we streamed the game, and they brought us snacks up there. They also have Starlink internet throughout the property, so the Wi-Fi speeds are excellent. We did the hot air balloon experience, which was absolutely worth it, as well as the cow milking. We also went horseback riding — the trail is amazing. If you’re an experienced rider, make sure to let them know. The main trail doesn’t really allow for cantering, but they can take you to an open field if you’d like to ride at a faster pace. There’s also a lovely tennis court that guests can use for free. The only small notes: the activities are quite expensive, and there can be a bit of a language barrier at times. While most staff speak English, not everyone is fully fluent, so occasionally things require clarification. Truly a special, unforgettable place — more than a hotel, it’s an entire world you step into.

Excellence all around. The staff are well educated all around of the hacienda and the ranch. Everything is made from the ranch. Volcanic filter water, private airport, all free range animals. The rooms are often clean. The service to the guest is the hotel main goal. the property is absolutely magical. Never used the word magical but this is the first time I can use it and you can experience it with all 5 senses. I recommend it to anyone that loves nature and wants to escape any city.

I had the WORST experience. The whole team is extremely rude. I tried to book an event with them and they said they would send me the information FOUR times. They never did until I email them to ask them for information to which they responded that they never had a record of it. Funny because I had talked to Rosi FOUR times to access that information and she assured me it was already sent and it never was. Once I received information I have called 5 different times to speak with the events manager to get coordination going. They were unable to even give me the name of the manager. I tried to call again to get started and they were EXTREMELY rude only saying “they’re unavailable, have a good day” by then hanging up. I am so disappointed with the service and how they have treated me. As a Mexican myself this is not the treatment I expected.

While the property is stunning as is the scenery, the food is absolutely terrible. -5 stars. Extremely chewy meats, burnt coffee, etc. The worst food I've had in Mexico (I've been around 10x to the country all around). ||Unfortunately the nearest town is around 30 minutes away so you're trapped. It's funny because the property (as does its sister resort Cuixmala) market themselves as having self contained organic farm. I can only assume they're skimping on quality to save money because how can it be this bad? The land looks arable! There's a volcano providing nutrient rich soil.

We stayed here for the weekend, the Hacienda is absolutely beautiful an they have taken care of every detail in the rooms and public spaces of the whole place, gardens and fountains are unbelievable. We appreciated the silence and the solitude in the pool and other public spaces. ||Amenities were amazing. ||The staff is very friendly, attentive all the time and service is superb. Gaby and Audi were really important for us in our stay. ||Two things I think should be improved: |1. Meals were good but but not delicious, the food should be at the level of the place. This must definitely improve. |2. I was not that happy with the improvised room set up for massages as there is not a formal spa, but the price is as you're paying a spa ||The transportation requires patience if you arrive to Manzanillo as can take close to 3 hours. However, the car and the driver was absolutely perfect. ||I think this is a once in a lifetime stay but it worth it.

Good luck trying to book for a special event, absolutely impossible. Its like they work hard to not get the hotel fully booked and prefer to not have guest. Food was bad during the entire stay on my last visit unlike years before when it was amazing. Got food poisoning and when were told by the GM that we probably arrived there sick, how is it possible to get sick on the last day of the trip and it being from before we arrived? Been going there since I was a kid and its super sad to see it decline. Long gone are the days when it was perfect, now Doris makes it feel quite uncomfortable

this is a gorgeous property. However, it is was not a good fit for us. The temperature was in the 80's and none of the rooms have AC and enormous amounts of mosquitos made it impossible to open windows (no screens). There is one restaurant with a very limited menu; you can not find another place to eat unless you drive at least one hour. After enjoying a beautiful walk, horse back riding and seeing the lake where you can paddle board we had nothing to do. Great if you want to relax, read and soak up nature for the entire time as there is nothing else to do or see.
