THIS IS FOR THE MINE TOUR ONLY. 5 stars
According to a fellow Yelper, there has been some shady business with the hotel staff and customers' belongings. Which takes away from the 5 star review.
I came here to take a tour of La Mina. It's a silver mine that was shut down hundreds of years ago, and only rediscovered 4 years ago--locates underneath the hotel! The tour is only about $150 pesos, and includes a drink afterwards--I'll get to that.
The tour guide was so patient and informative. Most people here only speak Spanish, but he would translate into English for me the best he could. I was able to ask some questions in Spanish so I could better understand. The mine is VERY cool. I learned a lot! Afterwards, you can see a mural by Juan O'Gorman & Diego Rivera, constructed in the 1950's.
Your drink token can be used at their poolside bar with breathtaking views of Taxco. I ended up staying for dinner on the balcony, and was the only person in the whole place! It was perfect, and the food was incredible. I would come back to tour the mine again, but per my fellow Yelper, would be wary to stay overnight.
