A very popular place to stay for tourists that I will not name because essentially it was lame
Visits
- 2023-02-10: The trip to the hacienda started out fine for the most part, and they told me they could arrange a visit to Rio Blanco, which is the place I most wanted to visit. However, things started downhill near dinner. The guests at this place were oblivious to the concept of travel, instead loudly drinking into late at night after our dinner of various fried foods. Of course, our room was right next to the bar...
- 2023-02-11: The hacienda completely dropped the ball on arranging the trip to Rio Blanco. So, instead we tried to leave early the next day. It was arranged to leave at 6AM with a breakfast to go. Instead, the cook was very annoyed working on a sit-down breakfast at 6 instead, delaying our departure. To top it all off, we were charged about 5 times the going rate to be transfered to the next hotel. So, overall, a disappointing stay.
