This Beautiful Hotel is our home away from home in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. We have been staying at this hotel for more than 15 years and we actually got married there 13 years ago. We love to take our family with us as well. It has beautiful gardens and a very upscale SPA from Orleans. The food is unique. They have Mexican and International options. Highly recommended to try the Tortilla Soup. The service is outstanding. They treat us like we are part of the family. Rooms are very nice and cozy. Many of these have fireplaces. Love this Hotel and Restaurant! It is like an Oasis in the city of the forever Spring, Cuernavaca, Morelos.

The rooms are very old. Also, the rooms are not comfortable or cosy. One can argue that it’s a colonial building but even a colonial building could be modern and renovated on the inside. The furniture is old and with dark wood, very old fashioned. If I’d have to come back I wouldn’t stay in this property. I wasn’t expecting this from a Relais and Chateaux qualification. Very disappointing.

I’ve been going to this fabulous place since I was in my 20s & I’m happy to say that it’s just as wonderful now as it was back then. This time I got to see how Las Mañanitas does a wedding. My daughter & her now husband decided they could get more for less in Mexico so they close LM. Our wedding party, family & friends expressed their amazement at the beautiful grounds, the very comfortable & well appointed rooms, the delicious food, incomparable service & incredible wedding experience. My daughter & her husband & the rest of us tremendously enjoyed the actual wedding with mariachis, Mexican dancers, piñatas, fireworks & other fun things while surrounded by gorgeous floral arrangements in a tropical setting. Daniela, our wedding planner, did a great job in providing us third party vendors for all the music, makeup, etc, & our final selections really made the day one to remember. Whether it’s just a relaxing trip or a big event, you can’t go wrong with Las Mañanitas!

An exceptional stay, and an ideal place. Everything very well thought and the customer service is amazing. Thank you to Roland Ramirez for being very kind and attentive. The spa treatment is the must and the surroundings are very well kept.

Just perfect. No other word to describe our experience ! From The gardens to the restaurant to the rooms to the pool and the spa. Staff very friendly an polite. We enjoyed the food so much that we did try any restaurant in Cuernava ! Why should we ? We didn ' t find the food expensive at all considering the astonishing quality. The only thing we didn ' t like at the end was to check out and give back the rooms keys .. until next time dera Mananitas.

Cocinar Mexicano is an experience no one with a zest for learning Mexican cuisine should miss. The classes are well thought out and geared towards all levels of cooking knowledge. The entire program has a wonderful balance of time for classes, exploration and relaxation set in a magical village that leaves you wanting to make another visit immediately to hear the sounds and take in the aromas of Mexico at its finest.

We are still in a state of euphoria over our adventure with Cocinar Mexicano. This remarkable program combined a beautiful location, high level teaching skills, simultaneous Spanish/English translation, a fine kitchen facility, and lots of tender loving care. Now that we are home, we are paging through our recipes and photos, celebrating once again a superb learning experience.
