Hacienda San Antonio Millet

I stayed in Hacienda San Antonio Millet for four nights with my 14 year old son and my 81 year old mother, to say the least, a difficult age gap to fill on vacations. When we arrived we were immediately amazed by the beauty of the property. Immaculate rain forests surround perfectly manicured and kept gardens with gigantic trees and lawns. The hacienda is composed of several buildings, including a chapel and two beautiful pools, a recreation room with Netflix, ping-pong table and bicycles, and a salon with a table seating well over 20 people overlooking the lawn. There are two main buildings on the property, one with several suites surrounding a lush garden and pool, and the main building which is a perfect recreation of a period hacienda. The interior design and the antique furniture are textbook examples of perfect historical restoration. Every detail is chosen carefully and with impeccable taste. Each room is different, each with remarkable bathrooms, linen and decor. The rooms include very fancy toiletries, a basket with fresh fruit, water bottles supplied several times per day, fresh towels in abundance, even insect-spray, and very discrete air-condition units that allow you to hear the sounds of the forest outside (frogs, crickets) during the night. My son was impressed by the super fast internet. Every morning Angel would bring fresh coffee to the porch for us to wake up feeling pampered. During the day, Jesús would check on us and chat with us for hours. The breakfasts, which were included in the price, were prepared by three wonderful ladies. Each morning we were served different dishes, fruit (forget melon and papaya! we had cherries, kiwis, strawberries, and delicious mangoes), fresh orange juice, pastry and all sorts of goodies, served on fine china on a marble table with fresh flowers. The pools were cleaned every night for us to enjoy during the hot day. The property also includes a large expanse of rain forest and dense vegetation, which provide a completely different atmosphere to take strolls and watch birds, deer and other small local animals. While the hacienda in itself is already a reason to come and visit, the staff was what won our hearts. They made sure that we felt welcome, comfortable, safe and entertained every minute of our stay. We cannot thank them enough! We also want to thank the owners of this beautiful place for sharing the opportunity of the hacienda experience with us! The area is also quite interesting, with Mérida, Aké and Izamal less than an hour-drive away, so there is always somewhere to go if the tranquility of the hacienda becomes too much. The town of Tixkokob is also a five-minute drive to grab a snack or have an inexpensive dinner in the market. More than a hotel, Hacienda San Antonio Millet is what many would like to think of as an ideal "home", a bed-and-breakfast like no other. It surely is among my top 3 places in over 30 years of travels around the world. On the day of our departure, we all felt
