What a beautiful and peaceful place just 10min dribeoutside of bustling Valladolid and close to Mayan sites and cenotes. We felt like princes and princesses staying in the castle like Hacienda and enjoyed the serenity of that place.

We liked everything about our stay. The only thing to be aware is that you cannot get dinner at the restaurant on the premises. No big deal though as Valladolid is close by and we enjoyed trying out different restaurants in town

Absolutely stunning property the description and photos do not do justice to the beauty. I was a little apprehensive when I pulled up to the gate but as soon as it opened you are taken back in time.  It was unbelievable that we were the only guest at the “castle” that night. We had the whole grounds and pool to ourselves. It was an unbelievable experience. The restaurant closes at 3 PM. Town is a few minutes away. I would recommend you bring a bottle of wine or your favorite beverage and stroll through the gorgeous grounds, soak in the stunning pool and spend a relaxing evening taking in the history of the area. This is not a resort where they wait on you at the pool but there is a reception area if you need any assistance, arrange transportation, recommendations, etc.  In the morning, you stroll across the grounds to a beautiful restaurant where they provide authentic breakfast with several options. Great location for visiting near by ruins.

My only wish is the sold wine or beer in the reception office so you did have to go the town. My only other suggestion would be to have coffee/tea available for guests to make. Amazing stay, wish I could have stayed longer.

Almost everything. The location, the setting, the rooms all very beautiful. The time of our stay we were the only guests. Even being able to bring the car up to the rooms (since my wife can’t walk long distances) was a plus. Staff was very helpful (typical Mexican). And Valladolid centroid was an easy 15 minute drive. Would definitely stay again.

Place is an old hacienda so some of the facilities, (breakfast area) need updating. And the rooms didn’t have any glasses (even plastic ones). But they quickly got us some. Nothing else.

Exceptional stay at Hacienda Kaan Ac. What a dream to be waking up to exotic birds singing. The Hacienda breathes history. The room was really big, and the mattress so comfortable. The staff is so kind! It was nice to walk to the restaurant for breakfast, and walk around the gardens and the house. Mega plus: we got to hang out on the roof of the hacienda and look at the stars!

Nothing!

The house and grounds are both magnificent and tranquil! You truly get the sense that you are stepping back in time and the unfettered access to the entire house and grounds is amazing -- imagine exploring a 400 year old castle-like hacienda on your own through a music room, fully set dining rooms, spire stone stairways, and armor standing at attention over guns and hides of animal conquests on the walls. The whole house was open at night with the evening air passing through doors and windows with the evening air. (Air conditioning was available in our bedroom.) There is no paid breakfast and no food available on site after hours, however the paid breakfast was of reasonable cost and was both well prepared and attractively presented in a beautiful airy setting in the historic carriage house on the property. While we did not swim, the pool is beautiful with a base and statue at the center of it's garden-like setting. In the evening we drove a short 5-10 minute drive into the heart of Valladolid to eat supper and explore before returning and going to bed for the night. The beds were clean and comfortable. In the light of day we enjoyed walking around the grounds, exploring the chapel that sits apart from the main house and the garden-like setting of the expansive grounds. It's truly unlike any traditional hotel setting you will find. I would also have enjoyed information about the history of the property on site. We learned it was the home of a pirate, sometimes priest, and his wife and that they were killed when enemies came hunting for their gold (?), however we don't know where they died. There is apparently a historical account in Spanish. There is a statue in their likeness in the garden in the rear of the home.

After our late check in we were completely alone aside from security on the property. With no phone in the room, and not another soul staying at the property for the night, we felt completely alone, for better or worse! One must guard their thoughts against notions of such a space being haunted! If you wish to be away from it all this is the place for you. If you wish to be pampered and attended to, chose another locale. :)

Hacienda Kaan Ac is a beautiful place to enjoy around Valladolid. It is a real hacienda with a lot of history and close to many places to visit. There is a variety of rooms you can choose from. The hacienda has a museum that shows you a bit of the history of Mexico during colonial times. There is even a book in Hacienda Kaan Ac, "El Filibustero" by Eligio Ancona. If you can visit the place I really advise you to go. On top of that, the breakfast is great!

The grounds are beautiful and well kept. Loved hearing the birds in the morning. The museum in the castle was fun to walk through on the way to and from our rooms. Nice area around the pool for our group of 10 to gather.

The rooms could have been cleaner- a used contact lens was on the bedside table, a stray bobby pin on the floor. I would have liked glasses in the rooms, hair dryers and a lock box. Those are things that I expect in a high end hotel. They did bring us glasses when we said we had a bottle of wine and needed glasses. A continental breakfast was included of a little fruit, a little yogurt with a little granola and coffee. You could order eggs to supplement for an extra fee. Supposedly they opened at 8AM. They were there the first day but the second day when we needed to leave to catch a flight, there wasn't anyone there at 8:15 so we had to leave without any breakfast.

It was a beautiful, typical hacienda. We stayed in the independent, spacious villas. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They made an exception and served us a late dinner when we first arrived. My city mouse mother in low is in love with that place! 😃 Good location to go to the ruins and cenotes, if you have a car.

The restaurant opens at 7am, we were there sharp for an early breakfast to go to Chichen Itzá. The staff arrived at 7.30 and attended us at 8am.

We only stayed for two nights and mostly to explore Maya ruins in the region so we did not spend much time on the property, but it was an exceptional experience to spend a night someplace that has 442 years of history on the property.

Our villa was spacious with a large kitchen and eating area, but we found the complete lack of bowls, plates, utensils, cups, cleaning supplies, paper products, or other items that guests could find useful surprising and disappointing. The place was very clean, but had a musty smell. Additionally, we found a scorpion in clothes left on the floor in one room and a large spider in unpacked items in the other bedroom. Lastly, our first night was peaceful and restful. The second night the hosted event at the hacienda had loud music until about 2am that kept some of the family awake.

Beautiful hacienda grounds and buildings with a small but lovely pool. Very quiet during the day. Easy parking. Comfortable beds.

Unfortunately for us, there was a big noisy group partying next door. And the restaurant was not open in the evening.
