Quinta GYO — Hotel in Morelos

We needed a break but didn’t want to go too far from home in Mexico City. We had been to Tepoztlán a couple of times before for day trips, so we decided to spend a weekend there. Most of the “nice” hotels we found on-line were quite expensive – 4 or 5,000 pesos per night (around $300 or $400 US dollars) or more, but Quinta GYO was much more reasonable, so we chose it. Although there were very few reviews for it (it turns out, because it has only been open a few months), they were all positive, so we took a chance.||||We were welcomed by one of the owners as we got out of the car, and then treated to a complimentary glass of “Italian champagne” as we checked in. Both of the owners were very personable and made us feel at home. (It’s a small boutique hotel with only eight rooms.) They speak Spanish and English, and apparently some other languages as well.||||Everywhere we went in the grounds, we had views of the surrounding mountains. Sitting by the swimming pool, you see a massive mountain façade just in front, and you feel like you’re right at the base.||||Our room was decorated in the Mexican style, not the typical bright oranges and reds, but in soothing greens and creams, with a king-size bed with a huge classical headboard. The absence of a television turned out to be very nice. Since we were there to relax, it gave us the chance to chat, to read, and to enjoy the oversized jacuzzi. Everything was very clean and well maintained.||||The breakfast consisted of coffee and juice, a fruit plate, and a main course (typical Mexican cuisine – chilaquiles or eggs with beans) that was prepared to order. The food was good, and service, very friendly.||||We spent most of the time at the hotel, except to go out for dinner. Driving to the center of Tepoztlán took about 10 minutes, but since the cobblestone roads are so picturesque and we had to search for parking, we decided to walk the second evening, which only took 20 minutes or so.||||I definitely recommended Quinta GYO for a romantic getaway with...

De unos años para acá, normalmente cuando uno piensa en Tepoztlán, se le vienen a la mente tres cosas:||||Obviamente, la postal del Tepozteco.||Comida deliciosa.||Fiesta por las calles (en los alrededores del zócalo)||||En nuestro caso, agregaremos a estas tres cosas, la relajación y excelente experiencia que tuvimos en Quinta Gyo.||||¿Qué es Quinta Gyo?||Un hotel boutique alejado del bullicio del centro que te permite disfrutar de la tranquilidad de la montaña con las comodidades de un hotel, que se nota se preocupa por el trato personalizado (lo atienden sus dueños) y que tanto fuera como dentro de la habitación te proporcionan las herramientas para que solo te preocupes por descansar.||||¿Qué encontrarás en Quinta Gyo?||Estacionamiento privado para sus 8 únicas habitaciones, 2 albercas (la principal cuya temperatura es perfecta y en la cuál podríamos estar varias horas, mientras que la otra alberca es más pequeña pero fue puesta abajo de una pequeña cascada artificial, agua de tibia a fría), salón de recreación (si es de tú interés puedes comer ahí los snacks que ofrece el hotel, tomar algo con tu pareja o con el resto de los huéspedes), servicio de spa y masajes, los cuáles son realizados al aire libre (colocan un pequeña carpa muy discreta, cerca de la alberca de la cascada).||||Dentro de las habitaciones, encuentras un espacio de buen tamaño con terraza o un pequeño jardín privado (según tu habitación, PB o 1er piso), llamando la atención el amplio baño, el cuál cuenta con un jacuzzi doble con una ventana que da hacia un jardín completamente privado al cuál nadie puede pasar.||||Como se ha comentado en otras opiniones, el concepto del Hotel es sin TV´s, lo cuál se agradece ya qué en ocasiones vale la pena tener un espacio para ti, o si viajas en pareja, un espacio para los dos. ||||¿La experiencia vale la pena?||Sin duda. El hotel te proporciona lo necesario para que lo último que desees sea salir de él (por el fin de semana o las noches que reserves).||||Finalmente y si son de las personas que no solo buscan relajarse el fin de semana, por $50 pesos pueden pedir un taxi que los lleva al centro del pueblo, donde podrán disfrutar comida típica mexicana (El Ciruelo, los Colorines, entre otros), caminar por un mercado típico mexicano (con artesanías, compra de frutas o venta de ropa típica de la región), así como disfrutar de un fría nieve o una bebida refrescante bajo el calor de Tepoztlán, ahora bien, si son personas que les gusta entrenarse o se catalogan aventureros, pueden tomar el reto de subir a la Iglesia que se encuentra en el Tepozteco, el cuál es un camino de alrededor 30 mins de subida + 30 mins de bajada (escalones y rocas), el cuál se recomienda visitar entre las 8 am y las 9:30 am (horario sin tantas personas).||||Nuevamente, gracias a los dueños de Quinta Gyo por su...

Like another reviewer, I decided to give this place a chance based on the reviews; while there weren't very many, all of them had highly rated this small B&B-type hotel. We were not disappointed. Located a short drive from town and practically at the base of the mountain, the views from any part of the property are incredible. The hotel has a small pool area, a bar, and offers a complimentary breakfast in the morning, complete with fresh fruit and juice, coffee or tea, and chilaquiles or eggs made to order. The rooms are new, clean, and inviting, and the large jacuzzi for two was just what we needed to wind down and relax.||The service is excellent, and Greg and Vangie were very attentive throughout our entire stay. They made sure we were comfortable and had everything that we needed, and also had great restaurant recommendations. ||It looks like this new place is gaining popularity quickly, so...
