The Riviera Maya Hacienda Magica was nothing less than magnificent. The pictures of the Villa do not do not do it justice. We were in awe from the moment we walked in (Margarita's waiting for us) and continued to discover so many lovely nooks and crannies. Comfortable surroundings, soothing breezes and gorgeous bedrooms.
The wait staff was MORE than phenomenal. They became part of our family. Our needs were met with great smiles and nothing was too much for them to provide. Jorge, Patricio and Edam (spelling not right) were so gracious and wonderful with our little ones. The food prepared for us was out of this world; abundant, presented beautifully and more than delicious. Eating fruit and fish will almost be impossible now that we are back in the states!

I'm guessing you don't always find out how all of the preparations turned out. So I'm here to say - it was amazing. Great venue, great service, great weather. Just a terrific trip.
