Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel & Mexican Charm - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"Staff were very friendly and attentive. Room was clean, and stayed fairly cool from the AC. The food at the restaurant and buffet were good, and "Mexican night" was authentic. Our only comment is that the door to room could have been more secure, and airtight (there was a fairly large area of light coming through the bottom corner of rhe door. There was a security latch, and a push button on the door knob. Room was accessed by a key.)"

We had an issue with our first room, and he immediately helped us and moved us to another room. He was extremely kind and made sure we were comfortable. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.
