“What an amazing experience—truly peaceful. From the personalized dinner menu that Daniel and the chef at Aldea created for us, to Revi’s warm smile and the kindness of her spa staff, to Lizbeth’s attentiveness throughout our stay, every detail was exceptional. Thank you as well to all the staff who made thoughtful recommendations, cleaned our suite, heated our pool, prepared our drinks, and drove us to our destinations. Everything felt magical—the peaceful surroundings and the beautiful fragrance in the air from the medicinal gardens. Thank you for such a special experience. It was truly magic” — Barb B

“Review of Banyan Tree Veya Valle de Guadalupe My girlfriend surprised me with this trip, and for that reason alone it was worth the adventure.

The amenities sit on top of a small hill, and simply getting there can feel like a workout. The property itself felt tired and neglected. Everywhere you looked, something seemed broken, worn out, or in need of repair. There was also a noticeable sewer odor throughout parts of the property. O” — Tom Brooks
