HACIENDA MÁGICA

If you ever watched movies with a spanish haciendas and wondered what it might have felt to live in one, this is would be the perfect experience. The Hacienda is perfectly located on the beach, in a gated community. Let's start with the main building which has the living quarters, familyroom, dining room, kitchen, courtyard and 8 bedrooms. The rest of the bedrooms are in the connecting building by the tennis court. The indoor living space was nice, but would be a bit small for a group of 25 if it rains and you end up hanging out indoors. It was very humid while we were there and ended up being indoors, otherwise we would have had our breakfast, lunch and dinner outdoors. The bedrooms were clean and simple, some were more spacious than others and each had its own bathroom. 2 bedrooms were on the ground level and 6 were on the 2nd floor, some had beach view and others had tennis court view. Some luxury items were missing from each room which made it inconsistent. My room which was larger did not have a bathrobe, luggage rack, shower cap, magnifying mirror and a full length closet to hang dresses. My friend's room while tiny had the bathrobes. Everybody complained about the lack of luggage rack. The outdoor grounds of the hacienda were magical. The decent size swimming pool about 4 feet deep good for kids, and hanging by the pool, not ideal for swimming laps or diving. For serious swimming you need to go to the beach and cross the jetty to get to deep waters. Plenty of lounging chairs and umbrellas for everyone.We experienced beautiful sunrises and magical evenings by the pool. Kayaks, paddle boards, ping pong table, etc..... were all available at no extra charge. The beach which was about 3-4 feet from the hacienda was not deep, had plenty of algae and was a bit rocky. I recommend you bring swimming shoes. Once you pass the man made jetty, the beach gets better and deeper. We used the tennis court for early yoga and exercise classes, and tennis games in the afternoon. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all prepared by the amazing chef. We had a wide selection of delicious salads, fresh fruit, guacamole, mexican food, seafood, bbq steaks.....While they did their best to accommodate my gluten issues, sometimes they forgot. Everyday around 4 p.m. they brought out guacamole and chips, and everyday I would ask if the chips were gluten free and I would get the answer "no". They did not consider getting gluten free chips for me until the third day when I asked them to get gluten free chips. The staff was wonderful and Jorge was amazing. Very accommodating and always with a smile on his face. He prepared wonderful margaritas and mojitos. Plenty of wonderful tequilas, vodkas, rum and prosecco in the area, but fine wines, specially reds and champagne selection were limited. If you want something specific, I recommend you bring it with you. Finally, this whole place would not happen without the amazing and always smiling Mimi. She was there several times everyday checking on us, making sure we had everything . This magical place has it all, lacks some attention to detail which would elevate it to 5 stars. Ideal place for big family reunions, weddings, birthday celebrations and girl's weekend away. I give it my GoldnAdvice seal of approval.

This time was not “ just another visit “ to amazing Mexico!!!! Mimi , who greeted at the door with great team was always available to answer all questions and offer more and more daily. Staff - gardeners, pool attendant, cleaning crew( perfect!!!), chefs( yes, more than one!)and of course guys who were with us during the day.... no words can complement your efforts to your guests!!! Great job We definitely making this home our annual “ come back” Wouldn’t be surprised if Mimi ( manager) will make arrangements for Helicopter landing pad!!!! 10000000 THANKSSS!!!

This will be a detailed review. We booked the home for 7 days and had 18 adults. Let's start with the house. The house is beachfront with a great pool and beach. It also has a jetty protecting it from incoming waves if you have small children. The water is waist deep past the jetty for a good 200 yards so easy exploration away from the protected jetty. Decent snorkeling when the waves are calmer. The house is located in a secure, gated and manned entrance to the community. Super safe. It is walking distance to a small, quaint village of shops and restaurants but you won't be dining out. It is also super easy to walk 10 minutes to the marina if you charter a boat. The home itself has 4 bedrooms facing oceanfront. There is one master up, 2 others up, and one downstairs. The master is named Magia, and it is CLEARLY the best room. The other 3 only have slight differences. There are 4 other bedrooms in the main house and none have views but are all nice. Air con is strong in all the rooms. The other bedrooms are all towards the back of the property surrounding the FANTASTIC tennis court. The court is a great surface that has some cushion to it. If you are a decent player, bring your rackets. The ones provided are not very good. The common living areas inside are great if you want to get out of the sun. The pool deck has umbrella holes and the staff will quickly put one up to shade you. WE encountered zero bug issues during the day or night. Ok, the staff. We had 3 meals a day and they were all absolutely amazing. The 2 chefs can do anything. We requested a lot of seafood and traditional Mexican meals. Every meal was 4-5 stars. I highly recommend the "tomahawk steak and lobster" night. I have never seen bigger steaks and I'm from Texas! The meal was equivalent to the best steak houses I have ever been to. If you like great red wine, better bring some because the area has very little to choose from. All other liquor and wine requests are super easy. The 2 butlers were constantly at your call. They filled drinks all day poolside (I recommend the "chi chi" to get you going every morning). They stayed until 10-11 every night. Housekeeping was amazing and they do laundry for free on sight same day. And finally the consierge Mimi. We have rented 2 homes now with Mimi as our host and she has NEVER made a bad call. From charter boats, to Cenote visit (10 minutes from the house and I highly recommend), monkey tours (bring bug spray), golf, on site DJ (DJ tequila was his name), on site Fire dancers....we have done it all and Mimi handled everything. She is the bomb. lastly, if you rent this home, tip the staff for goodness sake. Mimi provides envelopes for the final day and you present the envelopes to the staff. The week prior to our visit, the group tipped 1 butler $20 and nothing for anyone else. Embarrassing. We tipped 10% of the home fee and Mimi helped with the ratios. This place isn't cheap, but I think it is priced correctly and has great value.

This Estate is stunning and breath taking. Walking into the house you are at awe starting with the full Tennis Court ( For Tennis Lovers or just to have some fun). In the main part of the house you have a beautiful ceilingless roof looking up into the stars and moon at night during dinner. You are greeted with a lovely concierge that runs the estate, Her name is Mimi. She is a ball of delight and very knowledgeable about the estate and location. She is there to help you with anything you need and to make sure her guest are happy. She also can help with anything needed off property ( transportation, excursions, advice on places to go). All staff at Hacienda Mágica has the best hospitality in Mexico hands down. The chef service here is all so scrumptious and fresh. I would recommend the Chef Special ( Lobster and Tomahawk). Thank you for such an amazing stay at Hacienda Mágica, I will be back for sure in the near future !

I just had my dream wedding at Hacienda Mágica this past weekend and I am still mesmerized by everything this magical place offered. The house itself was amazing and accommodated all 19 of my family and guests. From the minute we stepped foot onto the property we were all swept away by its beauty. From the tennis court, to the open air courtyard, to the pool and beach side access, we all were blown away by it all. Each bedroom was beautiful too. I was fortunate enough to be in the master suite since it was my wedding, and it was gorgeous. The ocean front balcony views were perfect backdrop. We had breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks cooked daily and each meal was so delicious. I used to think all inclusive resorts were the best....not anymore. Nothing may ever top my Hacienda Mágica experience. On top of that, the entire staff there was AMAZING. I cannot thank Jorge and Theresa enough for all the did to male sure we all had the best times of our lives. Jorge in particular was so great. His attention to detail, from remembering everyone's names and what we each of us liked to drink even was top notch. The conversations and interactions he had with us made us feel so loved. Normally a wedding can be very stressful for the bride and groom. This was the first time we had people who have never even met each other until this trip meet, but the staff and Jorge in particular helped break the ice and set the mood for the next handful of days. He is like family to us all now! I even truly appreciate the 1 on 1 convos we had just about life. I cannot thank everyone at Hacienda Mágica enough for making this special day in my life better than I could have ever imagined. My new wife dealt with Maria and Mimi there as well as they helped her plan our trip and wedding. They were so great too! Made sure everything was perfect for our day, and it was! I know for a fact we will be back again and cannot wait until that time comes.

Where do I even start... From the moment I booked Hacienda Mágica for my wedding, I knew it was the right choice. Every person I had email correspondence with leading up to my stay was incredible. Marina, the rental manager, Pino, the F&B manager, Maria, the wedding coordinator, and Mimi, the concierge were the best management staff I've ever come across. Upon arrival for my wedding weekend, along with my guests, Mimi greeted us, showed us to our rooms, and made sure our luggage was taken care of. Anytime I texted Mimi, she was on site within 10 mins helping with whatever we needed. There was a welcome snack set out as soon as we were settled in. Every meal we had was INCREDIBLE. Fresh, homemade everything thanks to Martin and Alonso, the amazing chefs. They were so flexible with what time we wanted each meal, as well. They would stay late or show up early to make sure we ate at the time we requested. Our butlers, Jorge and Teresa, were the most friendly, accommodating people I've ever experienced in a hotel/rental setting. They were so personable, remembered everyone's names, and Jorge had the best, most positive energy. He was just enjoyable to be around. During a champagne toast one evening, Jorge even remembered that my dad didn't drink alcohol and gave him soda to toast instead! The attention to detail, the cleanliness, and the over-accommodation from each staff member was above and beyond expectations. I can't rave enough about this Hacienda, staff, location, and food. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful. We hope to be back sooner than later, but until then will dream about our experience for years to come!!

Our stay was a great success all around and my Mum was thrilled.

Hacienda Mágica is a great house with great people behind it who contribute to a really wonderful stay. Congratulations!

Really makes one want to be back there again so who knows, but I will be recommending it for sure.

Thank you and best regards

I can't write enough amazing reviews for all 3 villas. Our team of 42 people enjoyed every moment of our stay. The food was A++, the staff was A++, the property and location was A++ If you are looking for a place to stay, then look no further.
