Best for: Adventurous kids of all ages.
Recommended rooms: The ground-floor suites are best suited to families with young children – extra beds ($75 a night) can easily be added. If you have two or more kids in tow, book adjoining suites, (such as El Sol and El Quetzal).
Activities: There’s an assortment of outdoorsy fun to be had, including tennis, football, croquet, volleyball and kite-flying, and the hotel has arts and crafts supplies on hand for more indoorsy entertainment.
Swimming pool: Inflatables and flotation aids are available for use in the hacienda’s outdoor pool.
Meals: Since all meals are tailored to your tastes, it’s all to easy to order child-friendly dishes, of whatever portion size you wish.
Baby sitting: Can be arranged three days in advance, at a cost of $45 for four hours (charges increase at Christmas and New Year).
Baby listening: The hotel does not provide monitoring equipment and suggests that children should be with a parent or babysitter at all times.
No need to pack: If requested in advance, the hacienda can provide almost anything you might need.
Also: Every Christmas, Hacienda de San Antonio organises a traditional Mexican party for children, with songs, games and piñatas.
