My wife and two kindergarten-age kids spent a week there for a local wedding very recently and would highly recommend it as agreat family-oriented vacation. The Hacienda is located in a very small village about a 10 minute drive from a town of 130K inhabitants. As it turned out, the bride had arranged for a driver to transport us to... more

My wife and I were married at Hacienda Las Trancas in March (2008), amongst the closest of friends and family, in one of the most incredible of locations. Perhaps unique among many guests here, the week of our wedding was actually our second visit, as we had traveled to visit the hacienda in May 2007 to see if it was... more

Hmmm... if you want to totally chill out by the pool, eat some dynamite food, be pampered with a hot stone massage, to talk to your friends for endless hours in a lush garden, stroll the town and walk to the river AND maybe if you have some energy you could ride a horse. But seriously, if you need more... more

There's simply too much to say about our stay at Hacienda Las Trancas. It was highly recommended by friends who had stayed there before, so we checked out the Web site and immediately started making plans to visit. After further research, checking TripAdvisor, talking to Kelley (the owner, with husband Stephen), etc., we were still amazed when we arrived. As... more

I don't think I have ever been more enchanted with a place than with this Hacienda and its village. Our group of friends experienced some of the most amazing hospitality - and food. The food was cooked by locals using farm grown produce - I still dream about the meals! I was impressed with the owner's sensitivity to the local... more

Just a few months ago I went to the Hacienda Las Trancas with 40 of my closest friends and relatives to have a week of vacationing that would culminate with my wedding. It was quite an undertaking orchestrating our guests from places like New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Seattle, to name just a few, to the tiny town outside... more

I originally chose Hacienda las Trancas as a place to celebrate my 50th birthday because it was an easy way to plan a foriegn party. I could reserve the whole place with only 8 people, then invite up to 30. If only 8 showed up, it was still mine for the week. The web site looked appealing, quiet, and relaxing.... more

This place is just so stunning. I went here for my friend's wedding and one of her friends said it best, "the space here is so vast, that you just feel expansive inside." For two weeks afterward, I just felt like I was still on vacation -- such was the feel of both the Hacienda and the not far off... more

I learned of the negative review of the hacienda from friends of ours who had joined us on our weeklong stay to the hacienda last year. Curious, I browsed to TripAdvisor and read, flabbergasted, the review from "longwinding". We came to be friends with Kelley and Stephen while guests at their hacienda ("ours" for the week) and I could only... more
