My wife and I just celebrated our first anniversary at Hacienda Los Laureles. We weren't quite sure what to expect prior to arriving. This place totally exceeded my expectations. In fact my wife and I agreed that we have never been so satisfied with a hotel in any city anywhere. The hotel itself is exactly what (we felt) a romantic... more

This beautiful hotel with landscaped grounds is just a few minutes and a $4 cab ride away from Oaxaca's city center. It's a peaceful, relaxing place with excellent service and a lovely restaurant that opens onto the gardens. We're a couple in mid-40's and spent 3 relaxing nights there with our 7 year old son. The desk staff were very... more

Like other reviewers, we initially had some trouble getting the room we wanted, but with insistence and $50 more per night, eventually settled into a wonderful suite with a fold out sofa bed. Although requested, there were no rooms with two beds, but this room was spacious and allowed us (two girlfriends) the separation we wanted. It is, however, expensive... more

We stayed at the Hacienda Los Laureles for a week in mid february 2008. The Hacienda is a restored historical building with new wings and updated furniture and bedding within the last six months.

And for the second time we did not hesitate. With Hacienda los Laureles you can't go wrong. My wife and I live in Chicago. We have always taken the... more

What a let down this hotel turned out to be. We arrived late and night and were shown to a room that was not what we had booked. We paid for a master suite in order to get the sleep sofa since we were traveling with 3 kids but got a room with 2 very hard doubles. The solution that... more

My husband and I recently stayed at the Hacienda Los Laureles and loved the hotel itself but felt that the location was a bit too far out of town for our tastes. When we landed at the airport the taxis did not know of the hotel (you can't take the collectivo because it is too far away) and the taxi... more
