Hacienda Uayamon

Hospital Building 

The Hacienda Uayamon is a fantastic hotel to stay near Campeche City. Hacienda Uayamon is an old Henequen-Sisal plantation and it's really out in the middle of nowhere down many little rural Mexican roads.It's a beautiful luxurious old place that can be busy with weddings and special events. Luckily there was no big events happening while we were there. It was very quiet.

Individual Suite  

This boutique hotel has 12 suites of which 10 are individual structures and 2 spectacular suites located in an old building that functioned as a hospital. The focal point of the hotel is a 300 year old Ceiba Tree (Maya tree of life) near the Casa Principal which is now a very nice restaurant.

Bedroom

Our room in the old hospital was enormous and cool with 18 foot ceilings and fans that whirred above. Furnished with heavy old Mexican hand carved oak furniture that looked beautiful against the ocher walls and black and white tiled floors. Shuttered window keeps the sun out and ornate mirrors hang on the walls. Uayamon is a great Luxury Collection Hotel.

The Hotel is set in the jungle with interesting wild animals including the endangered agouti which we lucky enough to see outside our room. Hacienda Uayamon is so rich in history that there are records of it being raided by pirates in 1685.

In the 19th Century Uayamon became a Henequen-Sisal factory and developed into a working town with it's own machine house, bank (in kind only, no money), cemetery, chapel, hospital and railway station.

Uayamon Pool

The pool is one of the most beautiful we've ever seen. The walls and pillars of the original old structure are still standing in all their ruined beauty and you feel like your bathing in an archaeological site.












This Hacienda is a fantastic fusion of history and nature and it epitomizes the charm of Luxury Collection Mexican Haciendas sited in the Yucatán Peninsula. 

The Hacienda Uayamon is highly recommended!
