Acre Resort

Dates Stayed: 5/9- 5/12 Room Type: Tree House Guests: 2 Value: Medium/low Hot Take: the tree house experience is not worth it. Stay at another resort and go to eat at Flora Farms. Property Summary: The resort is a beautiful place with exceptional grounds, a fancy restaurant, and relaxing pool. The tree house is a unique experience with just enough space for 2 people to enjoy. Surrounded by new growth palm trees in the middle of a desert, it's a beautiful setting. It's truly an oasis as the surrounding area around the resort is remote in the hills and surrounded by dumpy and/or unfinished houses. The roads to get to the resort are rough but once you are there, its fine. The hotel guest pool is beautiful (closed at 3 for weddings) which forced all guests to go to the villa owners pool which was surrounded by cabanas and a bar under construction making it noisy and dusty to be around. The villas owners were not pleased by this. Bikes on the property and a couple pickleball courts were a nice addition. Experience Summary: It's worth noting that the resort is still under construction and has 2 different areas to stay 1) the tree house and 2) the partial ownership villas. They also host weddings. This dramatically negatively impacted our experience. Of the 3 nights we were there, they hosted a wedding on 2 of the nights including rehearsal dinners and the ceremony. The ceremony festivities went past the time they told us they would (10pm) and with the landscape, there was no hiding from the loudness and bass from the DJ. The weddings were also not hotel guests which made the property extra crowded, and our perception was this impacted the resorts willingness to shut the music off or turn it down. We felt as tree house guests, we were the lowest priority on the property (pecking order: weddings (where they make most money), Villa owners (who basically are funding the resort expansion), and then tree house guests). We became friendly with some villa owners who confirmed the tension between them and the hotel over the weddings. Restaurant Summary: My gosh its expensive, and for no reason. For instance, a glass of Prosecco is $25. The food was not spectacular for the price and the menu had little no Mexican on it at all. They try to get you to purchase their house red wine from Italy. They did bring a small birthday dessert which was nice, but then they charge you $0.01 for it. More on this below. Other: - This place is basically like being in California. We nicknamed it Mexifornia. The resort is actually owned by Canadians. You arrive at the resort and are greeted by an American. The resort guests are largely all from California as well. If you are looking for this then its great, but don't expect any kind of authentic Mexican experience. - In addition to the overpriced restaurant, they are generally very stingy. As a tree house guest, you get a "free" continental breakfast of 1 pastry, 1 coffee, and 1 juice. Thats it. No other type of coffee drink allowed without being charged. An espresso is $8. This is nit-picking but when you say its free, don't charge for it. They actually charge you $0.01 for each meal. - They don't tell you this up front or give you the option to decline but they charge you an additional fee for room service each day. You don't find out about this until you check out, however. - There were a lot of rules and restrictions. Pool closes at 3 for weddings, only get this specific thing for "free" for breakfast, can't order guacamole right now and its only available between these times at the pool. Was not relaxing.

I'll first start by saying we both work in the restaurant/hospitality industry and reviews aren't our thing. So hear me out... Salvador, Angel, Parker, Melissa, Fausto, etc. I'm missing a few, but the point being is in the 3 nights we stayed in the extremely comfortable and well designed tree houses we encountered so many staff members who made a lasting impression on what quality service is. We had so much fun at the resort and the restaurant. Their servers care, the managers were tremendous, and the food was so damn deliciouso. Ask Parker to take you on a property tour, do the mezcal tasting with one of the kindest and most knowledgeable guides in the game, Angel, or spend your entire day by the pool with Salvador serving up your ideal poolside snacks and killer cocktails. Everything, and everybody was unforgettable, and we will be back as soon as we can! Thank you!

Staying at a treehouse at Acre is truly a unique and phenomenal experience. You feel the “openness” with the absence of solid walls, with the surrounding plants providing adequate privacy. Every single staff my wife and I encountered were very friendly and attentive. The food and drink selections at the restaurant were phenomenal. The upkeep of the entire resort was nothing but excellent. The only downside is that the roads leading to the resort (and few other nearby restaurants and similar resorts) were yet to be paved and very bumpy. Arranging transportations (e.g. Uber, Taxi, etc) was very convenient; I just feel bad for the drivers who were not too familiar with the area, as it was fairly easy to be lost among the roads. Overall, we highly recommend actually staying at the treehouse inside the resort if time permits.

Restaurant was out of this world, the villas and pools were luxurious and the grounds were so peaceful and secluded. We’ll be back!

We came here for a wedding and this venue does not disappoint. Their attention to every detail made this a truly memorable and remarkable experience for everyone involved. Thank you!!

Cocktails are amazing. You should try Sergio’s cocktails.

Eine Besichtigung des Hotel-Areals mit Kräuteranbau, Pflanzen und Tieren💞. Ich habe die besten Tacos meines Lebens gegessen. Marinierter Salmon und Fisch in Tempura und einen mit Rinderfiletstreifen🌋🤩😍. Es war eßbare Kunst! Dazu haben wir einen Salat mit super leckeren Camarones/Krabben bekommen. Von Barkeeper einen tollen Gin mit ganz tollen Kräuteraromen. Michelin-STERNEKÜCHE! Anschließend ging es zum wundervollen Poolbereich
