Hacienda Primavera

Hacienda Primavera where we spent 3 nights with Steve and Emily and the children.  We were the only ones there so we were treated like royalty!

The hacienda has been owned by the same family for over 90 years.  It is remote and situated in a cloud forest.  Every room had a gorgeous view.

A view of the pool which the kids really enjoyed.

The kitchen staff.  We were spoiled with all the good food!  We had a gourmet chef that fixed all the meals.

Freshly made mora or blackberry juice for breakfast!

Lemons from the trees at the hacienda.  They made the best drink that they served to us daily.

Eli enjoying time at the pool.  The water was pretty cold but the older kids didn't care!

Waiting to be served!  We felt so spoiled not having to plan any meals or do any cleanup!!!

A cute smile!

In the middle of the hacienda is a courtyard with a fountain and flowers and plants.

Another view of the courtyard.  All the rooms faced the courtyard.
