Eúan and Cacalchén. Initially this hacienda was devoted to cattle raising and corn harvesting. Towards

the century, although late in comparison to other haciendas, changed to production of sisal. All of this

In 1993, Grupo Plan buys the hacienda to restore it and subsequently convert it into a hotel. Of the
original buildings, only the main house and the chapel were preserved, with the rest of the buildings
of the last stage, such as the water tanks which have been converted in swimming pools for the Habitation
del Patrón (Room of the Landlord) and for the hotel.
