When we decided to go to Mexico for our Honeymoon, we wanted to start our trip by a beautiful and quiet place, where we could rest before starting siteseeing. The Hacienda Santa Cruz was the perfect choice. When you pass the front door, you enter in a little Heaven. It's beautiful, relaxing, magical. The swimming pools are gorgeous, the owners... More

During the long, cold winter of 2010, my 91-year-old, globetrotting grandmother asked me if I would join her on warm weather holiday. Who can say no to that? Neither of us are Cancun types. We wanted to go somewhere we could explore a local scene. Grandglad had been to (and loved) Merida in younger days. Hacienda Santa Cruz beckoned with... More

The hacienda is very well renovated and decorated with a lot of taste. Our room was spacious and very pretty. The father of the owner gave us a tour of the hacienda which was really nice. This is really more like a luxury B&B than an hotel, you feel at home. The restaurant is very good for dinner, the breakfast... More

The rooms and grounds of this hacienda are wonderful. However, the restaurant was hugely overpriced and the quality of food was mixed. Breakfast was also disappointing. We would recommend with the proviso that you should try and eat elsewhere. More

A very special and absolutely lovely Athmosphere - perfect to make a good relaxing time!! More

I usually don't like to stay at hotels because i can't "disconnect" from work as I keep looking and focus on operational aspects. This said, I spent... More

The Hacienda Santa Cruz was our special treat, during our Yucatan holiday in February 2009. The hacienda has been entirely renovated and decorated with exquisite taste. Everything about it is absolutely lovely and I highly recommend it. The restaurant is very nice, but expensive for Mexico. The hacienda is located just outside of the circular road of Merida and approximately... More

This hacienda is the perfect place for a holiday: it lies outside Merida ( buses pass by all the time and taxi's are available to get you into town in 20 minutes). Robert and Caroline Franck are such wonderful hosts, friendly, informal and they anticipate on everything you might me needing. Caroline is also a very good cook, she mixes... More

We spent a few nights at the Hacienda Santa Cruz and could believe our luck in finding this place. This hacienda is located on a large property that has been completely renovated by the French owners. There are only 9 rooms but they have been beautifully renovated with all of the modern conveniences. The food is prepared by the owners... More
