Built on a Mediterranean-style villa nearly a century old, this hotel has well-maintained grounds dotted with places for picnics or for the kids to play. One of the two swimming pools (the biggest in the area) is filled water from the nearby hot springs; it's usually open only on weekends and holidays. The simple, clean rooms all have patios or terraces. Popular with Mexican families, the hotel has packages that are often good deals. For about $20 more than a standard room you can get a suite with larger terrace or balcony, a kitchenette, and king-size bed. Pros: Huge pools, extensive grounds, outdoor dining under a flowering tree. Cons: Can be noisy.
