The on-site Misaya Spa has received high praise, enhancing the overall appeal for guests seeking wellness experiences. While reviews commonly highlight the attentive and courteous staff as well as the serene setting, some feedback points to inconsistent dining options during weekdays and limited family-oriented activities. This balance suggests the property is best suited for travelers looking for a tranquil environment rather than a bustling resort atmosphere.

The hotel offers a great experience for families but is limited to no more than 2 days and along weekends where there's Buffett on breakfast and pool and animal activities, during week days the options are limited and there's no Buffett and prices are out of normal (1 small omelette 10USD). I do not understand why, considering all this structure, the hotel does not offer summer camp to kids, gynkana or any other activity that brings more customers, it's a waste of resources. They must review the prices and invest more in staff training on serving considering international standards, I also need to mention about the way the dedicated staff try to sell the loyalty program, it's NOK, families are coming to relax and dedicate time with their kids, if you want to sell something create a quiosque explaining the benefits of the plan and not scheduling 1 hour talk with an agent during vacation time.
It is a very charming Hacienda. Her gardens are beautiful the trees leave you speechless when you look at them and when you hear the air grasping its leaves. The food is amazing a true Mexican cuisine, but with the wisdom of a chef that offers various combinations that are absolutely astonishing.
Our stay at Fiesta Americana Hacienda Galindo Resort & Spa was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were completely captivated by the stunning architecture and the impeccably maintained historical grounds. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful, making it the perfect escape to unwind and recharge. The level of service was truly top-notch. Every single staff member we encountered went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and felt incredibly welcomed. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated, perfectly blending the property's rich colonial charm with luxurious modern amenities. Dining here was also a highlight—the food was delicious, beautifully presented, and wonderfully authentic. I highly recommend taking some time to simply wander the beautiful courtyards or booking a relaxing treatment at the spa. We are already looking forward to our next visit!
Great Great place in terms of Vibe / beautiful architecture and solutions, colors and trees, Magical experince and a true pleasure for the eyes and the soul - Yet not for the taste buds ! Nowadays it takes nothing to get a Great chef - train and set up a proper culinary experince with attention to details ! Yes the place has wines ! But that where it ends ! The rest of the food was barley addable ! Its a Huge huge pity since it could be fixed easily and would add to this place 10 points to what they already have !
We were invited to the vendimia, and had a great time. The food and wine was delicious!
Awesome service! Great food! Very courteous staff. It’s pet friendly! That’s always a plus to us! I’d like to say that it was extremely nice of you to give us an upgrade to our room due to my birthday ! I really appreciate the kind gesture! The jacuzzi, the champagne , the chocolate covered strawberries and the decorated bed was very welcoming! Thank you so much for all that!
Magical! We went when it was not busy after the holidays and it was such an amazing experience. Will be coming back!
This place is very special. Beautiful and full of history. The staff is great, very helpful. In particular, the concierge, Teodoro, was very professional and friendly.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
