We very much enjoyed our 2 night stay at El Santuario! The location is breathtaking. We went Monday through Wednesday, so the resort itself was pretty empty. We felt like we had the whole place to ourselves! The room was clean, the view was gorgeous, and the bed was comfortable. We went to the Spa and felt total bliss. It was magical. For any non-Spanish speaking travelers who come here, it's important to know some basic Spanish because we only interacted with a few staff that spoke English. Overall, we would highly recommend El Santuario to anyone who is looking for a serene spot to relax and reset. Valle de Bravo, Mexico is a gorgeous area and while we didn't leave the resort, we would have absolutely loved to explore the little lake town.

In short stay away. The property needs ALOT of maintenance. The pool tiles are coming undone and the water was filled with bugs. Additionally there is NO AIR CONDITIONING in any of the rooms. With temperatures reaching 100 degrees and excessive humidity it’s almost criminal to not have AC. The rooms are unbearable to sleep in at night. The food was mediocre and due to a conference on site we were treated like second class citizens. One of the restaurants was closed and when I asked to speak to a manager about the room we were given they never followed up with us. Overall very very disappointed with the hotel, property, and rooms. As gold members we weren’t given the upgrade, weren’t given late check out, and had to beg for a 20% discount which was included in our package. Wouldn’t recommend and wish they would have just canceled my reservation if they were too busy with a conference that weekend.
