Hacienda San Jose Hotel, Resort Hotel Vacations, Honeymoons and Travel Packages

Almost all guest rooms form part of the original building that have been fully restored and adapted to the hotel needs: their high ceilings and unique décor evoke the splendor of past eras. A specific restoration project had been developed to express its particular architectonic personality by conserving the same spirit that its former and original owners gave to it. Thus, in some cases, the restoration of buildings brings together both contemporary and traditional aspects and the new spaces and elements serve above all to highlight the artistic and architectonic value of the haciendas original features.

The culinary delights of a typical Yucatecan kitchen come from a mouth watering mixture of European and Mexican flavors (Mestizo Cuisine). A bit of history will explain this strong European influence. Once upon a time the Yucatecan peninsula was considered to be too far away and too difficult to reach from the rest of Mexico. Mountainous terrain and very poor roads kept the peninsula isolated. Having ports with commercial and cultural contacts with Europe, (especially France), New Orleans, Cuba and Arab immigrants, the Yucatecans were easily influenced by many aspects of these countries and cultures, such as dress, architecture and cooking, which explains why there is a lot of European flare in its cuisine.

The hacienda San Jose features the Restaurant, overlooking the breathtaking main gardens and located within the old factory buildings. The menu proposes a blend of regional and international cuisine. With our master chef, Reyes Santos, leading the charge, he'll show you how to fully grasp the gravity of this emblematic cuisine. He elides nothing offering all his secrets and your culinary knowledge and skills will blossom under his guidance. Reyes Santos cuisine will melt in your hearts.
Once you arrive at the hacienda do not forget to ask your Host for our "Romantic Dinner" arrangements, just imagine your dinner for two served in a perfect hideaway were the grounds are lit by twinkling candles and the only noise you can hear is the sound of the more than 50 species of birds that live on the property. We can also take care of regional romantic music arrangements: the well known local "Trio", just for the two of you.

Weddings and Honeymoons at The Haciendas are simply a unique experience that lasts forever.
The Haciendas have the idyllic wedding venue. Large gardens, the old machine room and the natural surroundings for their backdrop, are the ideal design for weddings and other events. With luxurious accommodations, facilities and amenities for guests, the haciendas are a totally different and unique alternative for a wedding venue.

After the first contact with our staff, who will provide you all possible help to make this an extraordinary experience, the magic landscape of the Hacienda, the friendly staff and the relaxing atmosphere, you will have enough reasons to choose the haciendas as the perfect place for your wedding. Each Wedding is taylor-made to suit the groom and bride needs and expectations. Our staff is highly experienced on catering and planning.

(Note: For a legal wedding which is also recognized in the United States and Canada there can be no exceptions in these requirements.)

The Mayan Wedding at Hacienda San Jose

If you promise to relax while enjoying the healing hands of a skilled masseuse, sip cocktails under seemingly airbrushed skies and cherish each and every moment you spend along the Yucatan Peninsula, then say "I do" to the Hacienda San Jose and its exclusive Mayan Symbolic Wedding Ceremony.

Whether you arrive to march down the aisle or simply wish to strengthen your vows, this unique package has all the amenities to firmly tie the knot. Included in the package are his and her ceremonial preparations, which provide both the bride and groom with a tender touch massage. The bride further enjoys assistance with putting the finishing touches on her huipil - a traditional Mayan dress. The groom then joins her in his guayabera, a traditional Yucatan shirt for men, before the two exchange vows in the resort's private chapel. After the traditional Mayan symbolic ceremony, the new Mr. & Mrs. slip away to enjoy cocktails in the gardens complete with serenading Mayan guitars. Also included in the package are the talents of a photographer, a photo album and a post-nuptial newlywed dinner.

The Mayan Wedding includes

• Preparation of the bride: 30 minutes massage and a regional mayan wedding dress (Huipil).
• Preparation of the groom: 30 minutes massage and a tipical yucatecan shirt for men (Guayabera).
• Mayan symbolic ceremony in the private chapel of the Hacienda San Jose, decorated with original painted murals and flowers.
• Mayan Children choir dressed with typical regional yucatecan clothes (during the ceremony).
• A Toast in the garden for bride and groom.
• One Hour of Mayan guitars players (trio).
• A Folkloric ballet presentation (30 minutes).

Surrounded by dense tropical jungle and exotic wildlife this secluded and beautifully restaured hacienda is possibly the most intimate and exclusive atmosphere where guests are invited to distance themselves from the outside world.

The term "Hol Bé" comes from the Mayan language and translates as "Open Way or Opening the Way in the forest" which sets the mood for the unique calming experience within the Spa. Helping to preserve the ancient Mayan healing practices of the Yucatan peninsula, a select group of the local Mayan therapists have been carefully chosen to provide the special treatments and services offered in the Spa. Several of the therapist’s ancestors were authentic Mayan "Sobadores" or so called "bone healers" and throughout generations handed down techniques and treatments only found in the Mayan world. Their hands and magical restorative spirit help to restore health, energy and beauty in a holistic ambience.
Dedicated to pampering guests in a restful retreat in harmony with nature, The Spas at The Haciendas are based on "high-touch, low tech" concept that celebrates the human touch and use of natural, often indigenous, spa products.

Special treatments

• Maya Plan (A couples massages in the privacy of your room)
• Seaweed Wrap
• Mud Wrap
• Mayan Energy Massage
• Mayan therapeutic massage (relieves muscular and bone contractions)
