The hype
Guests are consistently blown away by the grounds and views, often calling it 'magical,' but many feel the rooms are starting to show their age.
Posada Del Tepozteco
$190-275/ noche
Reserva esto si You want the undisputed best view in Tepoztlán and don't mind trading modern tech for historic Mexican charm.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- The panoramic views of the Tepozteco mountains are genuinely unmatched
- Heated pool (82°F) that actually stays warm year-round
- Location is a perfect sweet spot: 2 blocks from the chaotic center but elevated enough to be peaceful
Resumen rápido: A grand old dame that rests on its spectacular location laurels—expect breathtaking sunsets but spotty WiFi and worn-in furniture.
Reseñado por @gio.smith_: I spent my mornings sipping coffee on this terrace, just staring at the Tepozteco mountains. The gardens are magical and the silence is exactly what I needed to reset. If you need to escape the city chaos, this is the place.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
The 'Standard' rooms can feel dark and small compared to the suites; you are paying for the common areas unless you upgrade.
- You prioritize views and atmosphere over modern room tech
- You want a romantic, adults-oriented vibe (though kids are allowed)
- You plan to spend your time by the pool or exploring, not in your room
Limpieza y Mantenimiento
9
- Housekeeping: Daily and thorough. Staff is frequently praised for keeping the grounds immaculate.

- Maintenance: Gardens are manicured to perfection. Rooms show some wear (older furniture, occasional peeling paint on terraces).
- Linens & towels: Fresh and high quality, though not ultra-luxury thread count.
- Odors & scents: Fresh mountain air, occasional woodsmoke from the town, no mustiness reported in upper rooms.

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is the pool actually heated?
Yes, kept at around 82°F (28°C) year-round, which is essential because Tepoztlán mornings can be crisp.
Can I walk to the town center?
Yes, it's only 2 blocks away, but the walk back is up a steep hill.
Is there AC in the rooms?
Most rooms rely on ceiling fans and the cool mountain breeze; AC is generally not needed but check if you run hot.
How is the WiFi?
Poor. It works okay in the lobby and restaurant, but is often non-existent in the rooms.
Is it adults-only?
No, but the vibe is very grown-up. There are no specific kids' clubs or activities.
Do I need a car?
Not if you plan to stay in town. The hotel arranges transfers from Mexico City, and the town is walkable.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
The 'Temazcal' (steam lodge) ceremony here is authentic and intense—book it at check-in.
- ✨
Ask for a table on the edge of the restaurant terrace for sunset; the view of the convent and pyramid is better than from most lookout points.
- ✨
If the Tepozteco pyramid trail is closed, ask the front desk about the hike to Amatlán instead—it's quieter and just as mystical.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'gym' is not on-site; you get access to a partner health club nearby.
💡You might spot coatimundis (Mexican raccoons) in the gardens—they are cute but will steal your food.
💡The cancellation policy is stricter than major chains; they really do charge that 10% fee for changes.
💡Standard rooms are significantly less impressive than the photos of the suites.
💡Construction noise from illegal developments in the national park has been an intermittent issue in 2024/2025.
