South of Mexico City
Out of town and located opposite the Agua Hedionda baths, this modern place has a large pool and simple, clean and cheery rooms equipped with cable TV. With its own spa treatments, Villasor is the best option for relaxation.
Villasor is less convenient for those without transportation unless you plan on not leaving the area. Take an ‘Agua Hedionda’ combi (M$7.5) from Plazuela Revolución del Sur or Calle Niño Artillero in central Cuautla, stopping right outside Villasor.
