The hype
Travelers love the design, the stargazing windows, and the pet policy, but service is often described as amateurish.
Sarab Hotel
$150-300/ nuit
Réservez si You want a pet-friendly, rustic-chic villa in the Valle with a private jacuzzi and don't mind a few rough edges.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Pet-friendly policy with no extra fees (dogs of any size welcome)
- Private jacuzzis and fire pits in many suites
- "Ventana al Cielo" skylights for stargazing from bed
En bref : A promising glamping-style compound that nails the Instagram aesthetic but struggles with service consistency and basic security protocols.
Évalué par @curlytwinmomma: I honestly didn't expect this level of luxury after the dirt road drive! My private plunge pool had the best sunset views in Valle de Guadalupe. The clay shooting was a blast, and ending the night with champagne by the fire pit was perfect. A total hidden gem.

Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
Ask for a tutorial on the jacuzzi heater at check-in; it's often not intuitive.

Bring cash for tips and small purchases; card machines in the Valle are notoriously flaky.
- ✨
The 'Ventana al Cielo' suites have a ceiling window directly above the bed — perfect for meteor showers.
