THE HOTEL
The Hacienda Puerta Campeche is a luxurious hotel based in a set of flawlessly restored 17th century historical houses - its vibrant feel defined by the palette of rich colours and diverse textures found throughout.
In particular, thick stone walls and beautifully tiled floors, allied with warm oranges and yellows give this colonial gem a traditional feel. The rooms are wonderful. Located in the fully restored original buildings, most feature 18-foot ceilings with exposed beams and rafters, 10-foot wooden double doors, comfortable beds, dark, tropical hardwood cabinets, and cool tile floors.
This hotel is perfectly located for visits to the archaeological site of Edzna, whilst the Mayan burial grounds on the island of Jaina are also within easy reach.
We appreciated knowing the travel specialist (Katie Sims) from the previous A&K holiday. The hotels in Grenada and Cordoba were excellent.
