Excellent vacación rental cabins to spend a relaxing and fun vacación 2hrs away from Guadalajara,…read moreMexico in a Magical little town called Mazamitla. The owners have made this place a cozy and beautifully decorated and landscaped resort. Each cabin is named after a type of flower planted at the site and a painting of the blooming flower is on the walls of the cabins. They are different types of cabins to accommodate big families and they all have fireplaces and kitchens and some jacuzzi tubs and patios. There is no restaurant available at the resort but the town is about 1 mile away with plenty of restaurants for dining. There are plenty of activities to do in and around the town like shopping, zip lining, horseback riding, atvs and hiking. If you want a different kind of experience in Mexico I highly recommend Villa los Cipreses to stay in Mazamitla, Jalisco!

My wife and I were completely delighted and surprised when we checked into Bellissimo's Boutique…read moreHotel in historic Ajijic on Lake Chapalla. From the personalized greeting gift and custom welcome plaque to the warm welcome by the owner, we felt as if our arrival had been excitedly anticipated. This was to be our vacation home for the next several days. Our large suite consisted of a luxurious sleeping room with an attached sitting area for relaxing and reading. The beautiful decorations and artwork, sumptuous bedding, personal fridge and microwave, plus a beautiful work desk are only a partial description of our vacation domain. The bathroom had a roomy jetted tub and spacious shower, along with personal robes, plentiful linen and thoughtfully included toiletries in case we had forgotten anything. Take a look on their website to see what I mean. Ours was a very personalized experience. Guests never feel crowded, because Bellissimo's offers just 3 suites in the main building, one detached casita off the private pool plus an amazing and huge penthouse suite located on the very top level. We also spent time visiting with Linda, the creator and proprietor of this mini-resort, and were amazed at the detail and extra touch that were included in the design and development of the boutique hotel. Each morning we were served a masterpiece breakfast consisting of bountiful fresh fruit dishes, plus master-chef entrees of omelets or any of a number of other custom cooked specialties. Bellissimo's is located in the historic center of Ajijic, a one-time fishing village on the shore of Lake Chapala. It is just an 8-minute stroll from the hotel to the lakeshore walk, which features small outdoor markets, restaurants and picnic areas where local families mix with visitors in a most friendly setting. Ajijic is about a 40-minute drive from Guadalajara, the 2nd largest city in Mexico. This was our first, but definitely not our last visit to Bellissimo's.

This far surpassed our expectations. From welcome gifts to private wine selection everything is…read moreextraordinarily beautiful.

This is more than a hotel; it's a retreat back in time to the days of the big ranch families in…read moresmall towns. Sit down with the warm and friendly owner as he shows you his genealogical tree and ancestral documents going back a centuries. Reimagine yourself in a colorful, floral dress dallying near the cast-iron well located in the central courtyard. This one-time family home converted into a cabin/hotel has not lost any of its personal charm and warmth and yet, it does offer modern events like ziplining, Harry Potter science camps, etc.. If you stay on a weekend, don't be surprised if the band--with the town in tow-- comes to the plaza to celebrate with "tamborazos." If like me, you found the cities a little too modern, and long for some untouched part of Mexico, stay at La Vieja Casona in one of Mexico's Pueblos Magicos. You won't regret it!

So easy to reach and they answered all my questions. Looking forward to spending next winter there!read more

Just wow. I love this place. Booked one night just to make sure it was on the up and up, and booked…read morea month the following day. By day three I was already on a first name basis with the awesome staff. The power: As stated by many, I do sense that the power may fluctuate (I have my own power system so that's not an issue for me), but this is Mexico, you should expect this. The Internet: I'm in a place where it's hard to stay connected, I'm sure if I moved it would be resolved, and when I'm connected I get a CONSISTENT 10mbs down. It's just enough to stream video content. Welcome to Mexico. I highly doubt any of these issues are resort a issue. This is a small town and the Mexican infrastructure is not stable. What they do have control over, they do very well. The grounds are maintained meticulously. The staff is super friendly and they know customer service. They are pros! That said, English is hard to come by ... but that's a me problem, not theirs. I'm in their country, I should know the dialect. Bathrooms have TOIELT PAPER (rare), the laundry is FREE (unheard of stateside) and the pools are in great (Mexican) shape! Five stars!

If you are coming to the Ajijic/Chapala area, you have GOT to stay at Georgette's Casa Felicidad!…read moreGeorgette has numerous suggestions to help both the seasoned as well as the novice traveler. You need bring nothing but a toothbrush, your clothes and a happy attitude. Everything you could possibly need is already here and waiting for you.

I really wanted to like this place and I do, but. We arrived on a Wednesday for a four night stay…read more We where pleasantly welcomed and well attended to. We found the place empty with only two rooms occupied. The second night we where the only ones in the entire place. The morning of Thursday we where told that some thing had happened and they could not serve us our breakfast as ordered, I figured it was not of value to them to have the cook come in to make breakfast for just us. The following day there was lots of rain and rain entered the room (208) and it wet a number of items in the room, including a decorative pillow. The staff did not catch the pillow drenched in water nada the pillow was placed on the bed. We arrived late and found the all beddings where wet. We asked for help to have it all changed and Fernando was very helpful and handled it in the most respectful manner. The following day we decided we where going to have dinner in the Hotels out door dining area. We where told the kitchen closed at 7pm, via phone and via text. When we arrived I had to ask the server for the menu and that's when she mentioned the kitchen being closed. I was upset! That was strike 3! I'm in the service industry and one of the most important things when managing a team is communication. I see a lack of communication with this team and management. Also, management never stepped in to afford an apology or a conversation. We will probably give Thai place a send change but till then 2 stars.
