Historical. Aesthetic. Solemn. Exclusive. A place that you need to CHASE because that's how I best describe it. It's my first time and I'm in awe. For me, Hacienda Don Juan is a symbol of wealth and exclusivity. You cannot just take a sneak preview of what's inside since it's an enclosed area, unless you book a stay. There's a well maintained house that is older than what you can imagine and it's not accessible for all in an instant - you need to request first before you can enjoy a quick tour from this two-story heritage house.

Furthermore, I love how they maintain the limited number of houses built inside with impressive architectural design for guests. Everyone can stay actually as long as you book ahead of time since as I've mentioned, there's only few guest houses available. Entrance fee is 200php while guest house will range from 1500php (1 available only), 2500php (1 available only) and 5000php to 10000php (limited number). The beach is clean; and the cottages and gazebos are pretty nice.

    Ponce De Leon Hall History

    • 1173 Words

    Built primarily in the 19th century revival style of the Spanish Renaissance, the hall shares the style’s influence from Gothic, Romanesque, and other historic sources (“Spanish Architecture Overview”). Similar to the Spanish Renaissance architecture of the past, the exterior of Ponce de Leon hall possesses the typical courtyard-centered organization, ornate portals, carved doorways, lack of ornamentation except around doors and windows, tiles, Italian-influenced facades and features, (Sherman, 139-140) and even a tower, that, in its more current setting commands a level of importance and power through its appeared connection to the past (Figure 2). Breaking up the smooth concrete walls of the exterior are red brick, which adds both a stylistic contrast and mimics the quoins along the corners of Italianate and other Renaissance Revival styles (Figure 3). These details are repeated around the arched windows and doorways, and carried up along the tower, which is also a prominent feature for these antecedents of the Spanish Renaissance. The details of the conical tower roof and the column capitals are reminiscent of Moorish ornamentation, but the projecting roofs with ornamental bracketing and repeating elements already mentioned all show the heavy influence of the Italian Renaissance Revivals on the Spanish architecture (Sherman…

    Guayabitos is a place that is very familiar to me. It is a beach resort in the west of Mexico that my family used to go to everytime we visited our relatives in Villa Corona. It’s a pretty place with gentle waves, and hot sand, and a lot of people. There are two little islands that you can see from the shore and could be reached via boat (we visited one of the islands once, but it was full of crabs and we weren’t able to get off). I was about seven or eight years old when we went to Guayabitos for the second time.…
