What a fantastic hotel! Two parcels comprise this intimate spa resort:  The original historic hacienda, restaurant, pool, and wedding lawn, as well as a newer construction housing guest rooms, spa, and a second restaurant & pool opened in Summer 2024--connected by a walk and bridge lined with bamboo trees.  Accommodations are on both sides of the property with the original hacienda rooms darker and stone-walled, and the new rooms expansive and balconied.  Our room in the new section had two queen beds and measured over 600 square feet.  The double basin bathroom had a rain shower that was life changing; possibly the best hotel rain shower I have enjoyed anywhere. Bedding is great, and the room had a large balcony attached, overlooking the labyrinth. We preferred the original restaurant, with its enormous arches and large murals.  Cuisine is modern Mexican there, where as the new wing's dining room is more pan-continental. Service throughout property was attentive and personable.  Breakfast service was a bit slow but not objectionably so. Quibbles?  The pools and hot tub need to be warmer.  No conditioner in the shower was available.   And a hotel of this caliber should have real hangers--not the ball and slot variety. But, what a value for quality received...a hotel of this heft would be $500 in Napa, and here rooms start at $70.  Be sure to visit the nearby Pueblo Magico of Atlixco, which is so cute and colorful.

Driving through Atlixco on the way home from a weekend trip, my wife and I decided to make a stop and explore a possible stay in Atlixco and found this hidden gem. We made the reservation and arrived to be pleasantly greeted by staff. Check in process was swift. The property is breathtaking, the restaurant(rated separately) is a perfect option during the stay, the SPA is small but the couples massage was very good and the facilities very nice. Only 9 rooms, some of which are not that private but we were told that a new section will be completed by May 2024 and we will sure be back. The rooms were very comfortable. We were shown several. There’s a well stocked mini bar and room service during restaurant hours. We were advised that Fridays and Saturdays the property is almost always booked for an event, primarily weddings.Rooms may be available for non-event goers but that it could get loud, all night and all the way through mornings sometimes. So if you’re not in wedding crashing mode, probably best to avoid. Our Sunday through Tuesday unplanned stay was absolutely worth getting to know Hacienda Santo Cristo because it was definitely a place we will visit many times again.

“It is a very nice experience to enjoy with your couple or with family, this is more like a relaxing staying I recommend”

It’s a small and beautiful place to relax. Unfortunately the water in the pool is very cold and they have solar panels which are not very helpful. Food is delicious, rooms are very comfortable and large enough. I like the music they play in the hotel, it makes you feel very calm.

“So, so good. Highly recommend.”

The hotel is very nice, the staff is quite friendly and highly accommodating and the place is so beautiful.

The hotel is very nice, the staff is quite friendly and highly accommodating and the place is so beautiful. Our room was very nice but it was right next to the lobby so at some point it felt a bit invasive, but the room itself was beautiful and the bed so much confortable. The views are quite beautifully anywhere you look. One of the things I recommend the most is the restaurant out here, it has a majestic mural, the space is spacious, the chairs so confortable that made our evening so special. The food is really good to say the least, I think it is undervalued because it was so good and I could not believe I have not heard how good this is before. The “leche de tigre” (Peruvian ceviche) was surprisingly good, and I really mean it, sometimes it may be disappointing to try this food in small towns but let me tell you that it was a perfect balance of acidity, taste and size portion, simply delicious. The lamb we ordered was so tender and delicious that it it a total feast by itself. Finally the service and the restaurant could not be better. Diego was our waiter and he simply was the best, so knowledgeable when he explained the dishes and the mural that it just made the experience simply perfect. I came to celebrate my 18th anniversary of marriage with my wife and we couldn’t pick up a better place. And by the way did we mentioned the spa? Well it is a treat, the service was extraordinary, it was a couple’s therapy and it was just the cherry on the cake. I guess I fell in love one more time, with this place and specially with my wife. Simply magical. Well done Santo Cristo.
