アグア ブランカ

This small hotel is a JEWEL! The grounds were lush and beautiful and extremely well kept. The mineral springs were so picturesque and lovely for a dip in the lukewarm water that was full of minerals. The mountain backdrop and river below were stunning as was the cave formations and the waterfall hike. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the trails and birding was exceptional here as well. I only wish I had longer to stay and explore, I recommend at least 1 full day to explore the property and trails. This hotel amenities and food are basic but location - amazing!

A friend found a yoga retreat in her facebook feed that included a trip to a Monarch butterfly preserve. I was immediately drawn to it as the hotel was a final stop on a trip I had been planning which was unfortunately cancelled by the organizer. The hotel, Agua Blanca, sounded amazing with natural mineral springs filling their pools, acres to hike with several waterfalls, spa treatments & healthy meals. A friend & I booked the retreat & we were not disappointed. We flew into Mexico City & a driver met us & the others on the retreat to take us on the 3 hour drive to our destination. When we arrived we were greeted by the family that owns the property. They were all wonderful & treated us like family. The rooms were clean & bright. There were water filtering stations around the property to fill your water bottles. They offered bottled water if we wanted but it really wasn’t necessary. No one had any digestive issues with water, ice or food served. Our retreat included yoga, several spa treatments, guided hikes, meditation, a sweat lodge experience, all meals, with the trip to see the Monarch’s as a bonus! There is a bar & gift shop which were, of course, extra. The entire family was involved. I had inquired about tipping in advance knowing I was getting spa treatments & was told they have a cashless system. If I wanted to add a tip at the end of my stay, it would be shared by all 30 employees, many of whom we had no direct contact with but just as valuable to operating & maintaining the property. It clearly does take a village to maintain this beautiful property. I highly recommend Agua Blanca & hope to return with more friends in the future!

En mi habitación encontré una araña negra parecida a una tarántula, le avisamos a la camarista y nadie hizo nada. Las dos habitaciones se pagaron en anticipado, mi esposo no lo sabía y a el le hicieron pagar nuevamente una habitación. Reservamos 2 masajes y aunque avisamos con anticipación la cancelación, ellos cobraron el 50%. Pésima administración.
