Press Reviews

Fodor's Guide to Mexico
"This resort hotel is in a quiet, green oasis about a 20-minute drive from Oaxaca's historical center. The pool, hot tub, and spa, which has temazcal steam baths and massage, help you regain your inner balance. If you can't leave your busy world behind, you can stay current via the Internet and business center and read English-language magazines in the library. Staff members will help you arrange horseback excursions, bicycle rides, or ecological tours to the nearby mountains."

Karen Brown's Guide: Mexico
"... a beautifully run, lovely old hacienda with excellent food, friendly service, spacious guestrooms, a mini spa, exercise room, and a swimming pool. Wide verandas wrap around a large, beautifully tended garden shaded by centuries-old trees and accented by colorful beds of flowers. Facing the garden is a charming restaurant where meals are served outside on balmy days. If your main purpose for coming to Oaxaca is to visit the archaeological sites of Mitla, Monte Albán, and Yagul, then the hacienda makes an especially appealing choice for accommodations since after a day of exploring the ruins, you can return to the peace and quiet of Los Laureles for a relaxing swim and excellent dinner."

Save to favouritesPrintMailHacienda Los LaurelesLos Laureles is situated in San Felipe del Agua - an upscale but authentic Mexican neighbourhood 10 minutes north of Oaxaca’s historic centre. The area takes its name from the colonial aqueduct that supplied water to the city for many years. The hacienda has a health and beauty focus, with a gym, a spa, a heated Jacuzzi and an outdoor pool. The stone igloo in the garden is a temazcal, a sweat lodge with medicinal herbs and traditional chanting. And if you feel in need of a little spiritual cleansing, there’s a native shaman on hand to banish away evil spirits. The 25 white-washed rooms, serene atmosphere and spacious gardens are designed to make you feel as soothed as possible, and attract hard-working business people and freewheeling travellers alike. After a day exploring the archaeological sites of Mitla, Monte Albán or Yagul, it's the perfect sanctuary to return to.
