The small admission price of 125 pesos is well worth it to get a sense of the grandeur of the hacienda, the workings of the henequen (sisal) factory and just to walk the beautiful grounds. In its heyday the grounds encompassed 22,000 acres and today at only 1/3rd. that size they still seem expansive. We appreciated that information signs and a pamphlet were in both Spanish and English. The beautiful old hand-painted tile floor with each room different, gleam like new. The walls which soar to high ceilings are covered in stencil work, each room unique. We generally are not shoppers but purchased 3 items at the gift shop. Water and Coke are available for purchase the have while relaxing in wrought iron furniture on one of the decks. An elderly Spanish speaking gentleman for a small donation explains the workings of the sisal factory. His non-verbal language is pretty good too so we could get the gist of it.

This is a lovely example of a hacienda from Yucatan's past. The main house features beautiful antique furniture and original decor, all kept in pristine condition. The website noted that there was a restaurant and gift shop, but we didn't see either of these. There was a store in the town where we could buy cold drinks. Be sure to check the website for certain days when the facility is not open to the public (due to private functions). They will give you a brochure in English about the facility but their tour guides only spoke Spanish. Wonderful photographic opportunities throughout. Reasonably priced entrance fees.

A truly amazing place. An eerie ruined hacienda, part of which was restored to host a restaurant and a small museum. The are are tours of the former grounds and factory for a small fee. The restaurant is pretty good especially considering the remote location, and the place itself is magical. Definitely out of the way, but it is a treat!

Fascinating place! The hacienda was the center of what was the largest hemp plantation in the Yucatan that once covered 23,000 acres! What's left contains some large gardens, hemp processing and storage facilities and the hacienda itself which is actually a number of ornate buildings for use by the owner's family. It's quite a bit more run down than most of the pictures lead you to believe, but it's past splendor is still very evident. The only down side is the unsettling knowledge that the operation of the estate required the labor of thousands of enslaved Mayan people. Nevertheless, it is worth seeing this incredible piece of Yucatan history.

150 peso entrance fee. Being very well restored. Beautiful floor tiles and stencilled walls.

Interesting Hacienda, turned into a museum. One can see some original styled rooms and the old machinery. Entry 100 Pesos is a bit steep though. Good stop on the way to Puuc.

Arrived at beautiful Hacienda Yaxcopoil with moderate drizzle, strong winds and no one else in sight. This intensified the already beautifully eerie, mystical feel of the abandoned site. Located in the Umán Municipality, Yucatan, Mexico. The name Yaxcopoil means "the place of the green alamo trees." It was once considered one of the most important rural estates in the Yucatan due to its size and magnificence, at one time covering 22,000 acres of land. Definitely try to fit this into your travel timeline! You will not be dissapointed.

This hacienda is very poorly maintained. The exterior is dirty & crumbling. According to the tour guide, many off the artifacts within the house are stolen from archeological areas in the area. The tour guides are not able to answer questions about many of the objects in the property. The fiber processing machinery is either missing or severely broken down. Many of the house's rooms, like the kitchen & workers' quarters, are not open for viewing. Several times during the tour, the guide shared how much the staff dislikes the current owner because of his poor management & apathy toward the property. Not worth the admission fee.

I don't get it.. It may have the historical value, however It's not worth a 50-minute drive from Merida. 150 peso entrance fee isn't much, but this property doesn't have much of attractions. It's a big house with a garden. No description or information on the property. You just walk around for 20 - 30 minutes in a 1700 ish estate.

Alte Sisal Hacienda, teils mit alten Möbeln eingerichtet und kleinem Museum. Es gibt auch noch ein paar alte Maschinen zu sehen, die jedoch nicht mehr in Betrieb sind. Ganz nett zu sehen, wie die Sisal-Barone damals gelebt haben und nicht sehr touristisch, wir waren die einzige Gruppe bei unserem Besuch. Wenn man in der Nähe ist sicher einen kleinen Abstecher wert.

We’ll kept hacienda with such beautiful rooms. We meet a man there who worked there over 30 years ago in the henequén factory and he showed us around the machines used. They are currently restoring some of the rooms, but for the most part everything was open.

Sehr schöne, gepflegte Hacienda. Der Besuch macht wirklich Spaß, er versetzt einen zurück in die glorreichen Zeiten, als in der Hacienda noch das Leben pulsiert hat. Man kann die alten Maschinen und Maschinenhallen noch sehen und auch begehen, auch gibt es viele Räume, die noch mit wertvollen alten Möbeln und Geschirr Stücken ausgestattet sind. Für einen Halb Tagesausflug etwas zu wenig…

One of the best and most interesting places I have visited in Yucatan! We had mayan guide who explained us absolutely everything about hacienda. So ask for the guide - but he speaks only Spanish.

Interesting place! Entrance increased to 150 peso per person - the info sheet acts as entrance ticket

Great opportunity to see an original Hacienda with lovely grounds and many of the rooms are still as they were. Almost had the whole place to ourselves and while there was no English tour there is a brochure in English. The old processing machinery is still present but not working. Great price compared to other Haciendas in the area if you’re okay with just showing yourself round.

Hacienda Yaxcopoil is a Yucatan plantation located near Merida, Mexico and dating back to the 17th century. The name Yaxcopoil means “the place of the green alamo trees” in Mayan and was named after the Mayan ruins nearby. The Hacienda represents the history of three great periods in the Yucatan Peninsula: the pre-Columbian period, the Spanish colonial period, and the boom years of henequen cultivation during the late 19th and early 20th century.

A very historic hacienda. Close to Merida. Interesting and inspiring. Worth a visit.

Excellent place, an amazing Hacienda. Workers made a great tour.

My guide was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and completely enjoyed the tour. Would highly recommend

It was closed for a private event when we arrived, but we could still see the out-buildings and the facade. Very cool holdover from the colonial period. Would love to fully explore it next time.

One of the oldest and biggest haciendas ever operating in the heyday of sisal production. It is currently in the process of being restored to it's former glory. We had a spanish speaking guide who explained the history of the hacienda and showed us around the grounds. It was like stepping back in time by imaging life on the plantation.

This property and museum is beautiful. The staff are friendly and our guide was knowledgeable and caring to answer our questions. We had rented the guest room for the night and I cannot recommend this experience enough. Dinner was good (lime soup was so very good which didn't originally sound appetizing on such a hot day) and breakfast was delicious (a chaya tortillita dish and fruit). The guest house was very clean and decorated to match the property - the hammocks were wonderful. The property and museum itself is amazing, so beautiful and its great to see so much history kept. Thank you for sharing the space. This was such a great highlight to our trip. We loved it.

Really worth it if you are doing the ride from Merida to Uxmal. It's not in great condition but it seems that they are currently investing to renovate it. This place has a lot of potential as a touristic attraction.

Amazing hacienda and museum of old artefact. It was rented for a wedding and we really loved the decorations, special lighting, tables and all that where installed for the event. The Hacienda itself is impressive with lots of different areas and the inside garden is just amazing.

Very nice museum type place to visit to learn about the industry of making textiles and rope. The buildings, gardens, and equipment were very well kept. Definitely worth a visit.
