We assist to the Sunday morning Buffet. The quality is excellent. The service is great. And the variety of traditional food is very complete.
Visited the restaurant only. Very good food. The service is outstanding. The view is magnificent. Everyone at the table loved their food and couldn't stop talking about it.
Beautiful hotel with a spectacular view that comes with a calming scenery! The only issue I had was the masseuse lady they called for the massage I asked for. She was straight up horrible and felt like I got scammed for $700 pesos. The lady knew nothing about the body and worst massage in my life and I have had over a 100 of them!
This place is really nice to stay at. The room was big, and the bathroom was clean and pretty modern. The air conditioning worked great too. The person at the reception was really kind and helped us with our luggage. We had a wedding there, and everything was organized perfectly. There was just a small issue with not enough space for breakfast, so you might have to wait a bit, but it wasn't a big problem.
Went to the restaurant. Place is beautiful, view incredible, food is delicious. Prices are a little above the average for a regular restaurant and average for this category. Waiters are kind, but a little distracted.
This is a very beautiful place with a breathtaking view of Morelia! My room (I forgot the had 2 beds, a closet, heater and A/C (very important), a decent size restroom, and a small living room with sofa, coffee machine with the works and lamp. The personnel was polite and attentive. Room service was everyday and rooms felt clean each time. The restaurant food was DELICIOUS! We ate dinner our first night and I had the best enchiladas I've eaten. The breakfast buffet in the mornings had so many different dishes I wanted to eat everything but couldn't, it smelled and looked that good. Eating in that restaurant with that gorgeous view was an amazing experience! I can't wait to visit this place again. The only thing I didn't like was the shower head in the shower.
The restaurant is highly rated and we tried to have dinner during Dia de Mortes 2018 however they were booked solid. The staff was very pleasant, the interior was gorgeous and I hope to visit again on my next visit to Morelia.
San Jose Villas is absolutely stunning—a true paradise! The views are breathtaking beyond words, and the landscaping is pure perfection, with vibrant flowers in every color and beautifully manicured lawns. The food is hands down the best I’ve ever had—always fresh, healthy, and delicious. Every meal feels like a feast for both body and soul. The rooms are peaceful, cozy, and designed for true rest and relaxation. The staff is incredibly welcoming, serving with joy and genuine kindness. A special mention to Jill (don’t know spelling), whose servant heart reflects God’s goodness in such a beautiful way. His warmth and care made the experience even more memorable. Staying here has been a heartwarming, unforgettable experience, filled with moments to cherish for a lifetime. I can’t wait to return! Highly recommend!
