Hostal de la Luz

The place is fantastic, the merge of architectural styles, the amazing amenities, walking around like you are in some mystical land exploring like a kid. Landscaping and breathtaking views everywhere. They offer many amazing spa treatments which are high quality in general, but their yoga class (free class 9 am was very dissapointing) also the laberinto experience with the shaman, it was rushed, he was really good guiding it but at the end he cut it short, like he needed to be at some other place. We also tried the sacral pool and the music was on and off. The place has the potential to be superb, but need to really work on delivering better experiences.

We stayed for a whole week without mobile phone and doing our physical and digital detox. It all summarizes saying that the whole experience will depend on the room you have. We had two types of rooms, one with no view to the mountains and the other one (tlama) which was very quiet, with its own meditation space and a beautiful. Please see below a detailed review from best to worst: - spa: it is awesome! We took 6 or 7 therapies. Just go directly for the bigger packages of spa treatments. Having an immunological massage or and Ayurvedic one will bring you back to life. So professional girls. - hotel: staff is local, which I really love. They are really welcoming and nice people. However, they lack of training about hosting and wellness. So it would be nice to have all integrated in the holistic focus of the hotel. - restaurant: the worst! Extremely expensive for very easy-to-cook food. No tasty at all, so simple and low quality. We shared our opinions with a waiter and he said that the Chef has been changing and he changes the menu. It is incredible we could not have any good vegetarian option. We had special dinner on New Year’s Eve and it was much more elevated that the simple quesadillas they offer in the menu for an excessive price of around 150 Mexican pesos! Important note: Smoking is allowed in the outdoor part of the restaurant as well as in open areas. If you want to detox from pollution, then you will have to struggle with that kind of people. Thankfully, smoking in outdoor areas will be prohibited very soon in Mexico :)

Had another beautiful stay at this lovely hotel and spa. Excellent service, nice rooms, clean, delicious food, marvelous views, pools and jacuzzis, spa packages of all kinds, and a professional, kind and attentive staff. Many thanks! Muchas gracias y que viva México.

cant say enough about it just you must go . and enjoy it , complete experience , energized drinking water , unique holistic experience, small rooms and simple ones but it deserve it, you can fell the tranquility and the energy around the mountains. friendly staff and the view form the restaurant is to die for .

There are several areas of improvement 1. They only place one bottle of water (750ml) per day in a room for two, which is obviously not enough, I was really thirsty every morning and it was quite difficult to get water. 2. There is no network coverage, wifi or telly. 3. Coffee in the restaurant cannot be called coffee, I rather call it dark, bitter hot water. 4. Check in and check our process takes ages 5. Mini swimming pools are charming but way to little to be share with three other couples.
