Sabor Mexicano Vacation Retreat, Events Center and Organic Farm

***If your stay will include any size gathering (people invited who aren't overnight guests), please use the option to "Ask Owner a Question". We need time to inform you of prices and policies that apply to these events, and that can't be handled in the limited time allowed if you "Request to Book" instead. Any typical rental that doesn't involve gatherings, large groups, or events can still use Request to Book if you'd like. Thank you for your cooperation with this request.***
