IHG’s Six Senses takes five Mexican haciendas from Marriott
Marriott’s The Luxury Collection brand included five unique hacienda properties on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Merida is the most convenient airport for reaching them.
These are, as the name suggests, generally in remote areas and worth visiting primarily for the local wildlife and flora. The biggest, Hacienda Temozon, has just 28 rooms. Feedback was generally excellent.
The five hacienda properties have now quietly moved over to IHG and appear, unrbanded, on the IHG website. They have @sixsenses.com email addresses which implies that they will be upgraded and slotted into the Six Senses brand.
Here are the links, together with summary comments from a Flyertalk thread:
Hacienda Campeche: “not a real hacienda, in the middle of Campeche town, not as charming as the other haciendas, but nice pool and beautiful courtyard with spacious rooms”
Hacienda San Jose: “beautiful gardens, great pool, big rooms”
Hacienda Santa Rosa: “the smallest and very charming, nice pool, beautiful building and nice rooms” (image above)
Hacienda Temozon: “biggest hacienda with 28 rooms, very elegant, great pool and nice (but dark) rooms, they have their own cenote and you can get there by a donkey carriage.”
Hacienda Uayamon: “stunning setting, beautiful grounds, amazing pool and huge rooms (only suites)”
The haciendas are bookable at ihg.com for cash but not for IHG One Rewards points. It isn’t clear if you will earn IHG One Rewards
