(Translated by Google) The place is very big, with a lot of nature. You breathe calm and of course fresh air. I have no idea how many rooms they have, but they must be a lot, the place is suitable for retreats. We just went to a three-day tai chi. The room is simple, nothing fancy. Even the soap is motel style, and the toilet paper, wow, terrible quality. They do not provide shampoo, nor towels to dry off. The food, although it is buffet style, due to the way it is served, the options are not many. Just a stew and a soup. For vegetarians, they adapted the food to us, so their disposition is good, although the vegetables are overcooked, and nothing really amazing. Their somewhat strange customs, you have 40 minutes to eat and at the end they ring a bell for you to leave. In the same way, you cannot talk while you are in the dining room, they gave the explanation of COVID, in any case, their rules respected. They have large gardens, and beautiful trees, in the back they have some horses, which make your eyes happy. The dining room has large windows, allowing you to see the surroundings. (Original) El lugar es muy grande, con mucha naturaleza. Se respira calma y por supuesto aire fresco. No tengo idea de cuántas habitaciones tienen, pero deben de ser muchas, el lugar es apto para retiros. Justo nosotros fuimos a uno de tai chi de tres días. La habitación es sencilla, nada de lujos. Hasta el jabón es de estilo motel, y el papel de baño, ufff, malísima calidad. No proporcionan shampu, ni toallas para secarse. La comida aunque es estilo buffet, por su forma de servirse, las opciones no son muchas. Sólo un guisado y una sopa. A los vegetarianos, nos adaptaron la comida, así que su disposición es buena, aunque las verduras demasiado cocidas, y nada realmente increíble. Sus costumbres un tanto extrañas, tienes 40 minutos para comer y al final te tocan una campanita, para que te retires. De igual forma no se puede hablar mientras estés en el comedor, ellos dieron como explicación la del COVID, de cualquier manera, respetables sus reglas. Tienen amplios jardines, y árboles hermosos, en la parte de atrás tienen unos caballos, que te alegran la vista. El comedor tiene ventanales, que te permite ver los alrededores.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place to have that spiritual approach towards God. The treatment of the monks and the excellent staff. (Original) Hermoso lugar para tener ese acercamiento espiritual hacia Dios. El trato de los monjes y el personal excelente.

(Translated by Google) Great place to connect with God, to get out of the routine, stop, listen and observe yourself. The hostel service is recommended, 3 meals (enough, monastic austerity is part of the experience), coffee and fruit all day, own bathroom, hot water, towels, good service. You can make a campfire at night, take a tour of the forest. It is worth going to the cemetery (a place of great respect) its design is unique. Great place! (Original) Gran lugar para conectar con Dios, para salir de la rutina, detenerte, escucharte y observarte. Recomendado el servicio de hospedería, 3 comidas (suficientes, la austeridad monástica es parte de la experiencia), café y fruta todo el día, baño propio, agua caliente, toallas, buen servicio. Puedes hacer fogata en la noche, dar un tour por el bosque. Vale la pena ir al cementerio (lugar de mucho respeto) su diseño es único. ¡Gran lugar!

(Translated by Google) A place of spirituality. You can get to the monastery through the Mexico Cuernavaca highway if you come by car, if not, you can get off the bus at La Paloma de la Paz and ask for a taxi. That takes you to Ahuatepec and on the main street there are signs. Upon entering, you go up the path and if you go to the inn, at the cross you turn left. If you go to the chapel, from the cross you turn right and go up. In the hostel you find brother Francisco who treats you with great kindness and care, as well as the members of the team, who are very kind people. In the hostel you will find rooms with bathroom, you must bring your own towel and it includes all the lodging service. The very comfortable beds have pillows, sheets, blankets and bedspreads. The bathroom has paper and soap. In the dining room you can enjoy some delicacies that are prepared there for the consumption of those staying there. I loved the vegetarian tinga, the guava jam, the blueberry pancake At the end, the last day, early, they put some sheets for you to write down your order Guava jam, dressings (the one I brought was mango) and it was mmmmmm the unmissable is the banana bread you can't miss it (Original) Un lugar de espiritualidad. Al monasterio puedes llegar por la autopista México Cuernavaca si vienes en auto, si no, en la paloma de la paz te puedes bajar del autobús y pides un taxi . Que te lleve a Ahuatepec y en la calle principal se encuentran las señalizaciones. Al entrar, subes el camino y si vas a la hospedería, en la cruz das vuelta a la izquierda. Si vas a la capilla, de la cruz das vuelta a la derecha y subes. En la hospedería encuentras al hermano Francisco que te trata con mucha amabilidad y cuidado, al igual que los integrantes del equipo, quienes son personas amabilisimas. En la hospedería encuentras habitaciones con baño, debes llevar tu propia toalla a más incluye todo el servicio de hospedaje. Las camas muy reconfortantes tienen almohada,sábanas cobijas y colcha. El baño tiene papel y jabón. En el comedor podrás disfrutar de algunos manjares que preparan ahí para el consumo de los ahí alojados a mi me encantó la tinga vegetariana, la mermelada de guayaba, el Panque de arándanos Al final, el último día, temprano, ponen unas hojas para que anotes tu pedido Mermelada de guayaba, aderezos (el que me traje era de mango) y estaba mmmmmm el imperdible es el pan de plátano no te lo puedes perder

I've been here several times for martial arts workshops. The remote location is pretty peaceful even though the sounds from the town travel up the hill quite loudly. The rooms are very Spartan, containing a single bed, barely long enough if you're over 6', and if you're able to take a hot shower for more than a minute, if at all, count your blessings. The food that's prepared is pretty basic, mostly vegetarian and a lot of it is grown locally on the mountain itself. Very beautiful buildings and trees and flowers all throughout the grounds.

(Translated by Google) It was very pleasant to be there... to share with different people... who are kind... I really appreciate the tremendous welcome I received and the teachings... the delicious food (Original) Fue muy grato estar ahí... compartir con distintas personas....las cuales son gentiles....aprecio mucho la tremenda acogida que recibí y las enseñanzas ...la rica comida

Nice place to live an spiritual experience.

Very beautiful and peaceful place

Monasterio benedictino

Great place!

Mid-century modern Catholic monastery & retreat center were wonderful hosts for our 3 day buddhist retreat. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are basic (small cot-type beds typical to monastery rooms) but clean, with private bathrooms & hot showers. We were in the dorms, but there are also rooms that look more like a '60s American motel. beautiful views of the valley below. Nourishing vegetarian-mexican cuisine prepared by the lovely young staff. You can feel the accumulated merits on the land there... I highly recommend for any group or solitary retreat (if available). Wonderful for walking meditation and being with nature. Very safe.
