"My girlfriend and I stayed at Hacienda La Labor for a romantic getaway, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Guadalajara. The property is absolutely beautiful, full of history and authentic Mexican charm. One of our favorite experiences was the horseback ride, which ended with a private picnic—it was such a unique and romantic touch that we’ll never forget. The room was comfortable and quiet, and we slept great thanks to the incredibly comfortable bed and excellent air conditioning. The bathroom was charming, the shower had great water pressure, although it was a bit small. The only thing we noticed was that the floors could have been a little cleaner. Breakfast was outstanding. The chilaquiles were hands down the best we’ve had anywhere in Mexico, and every morning was something we looked forward to. The only downside was that there was construction taking place during our stay. It didn’t ruin our experience, but it would have been nice to know in advance before arriving. Overall, Hacienda La Labor is a wonderful place for couples, families, or even weddings. If you’re looking for a peaceful stay with beautiful historic surroundings and unforgettable experiences, we highly recommend it. We would gladly stay here again."
