Hacienda Temozon, A Luxury Collection Hotel

Most travelers visit the Yucatan Peninsula for its soft sands and turquoise beaches, but Hacienda Temozon presents another kind of Yucatan experience. Located inland in a converted hacienda about 28 miles south of Merida, this Luxury Collection hotel offers its guests a verdant, sub-tropical jungle to explore. Travelers can visit the nearby tourist destinations, like Uxmal ruins or Temozon Village, or stay on-site to luxuriate in the cave-like Hol Be Spa or lounge by the outdoor swimming pool. Each of the hotel's 28 guest rooms is named for its former purpose on the hacienda (Pharmacy, School or Pay-house, for example) and features tile floors, wooden cabinets, an 18-foot ceiling with exposed beams, and in select accommodations, a balcony. Additional room amenities include private plunge pools, woven cotton hammocks and 32-inch LCD TVs. Also on-site are a restaurant and a bar, which past guests commend for their delicious menu offerings and their romantic atmospheres. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.
