History
Hacienda Dzoyolá was originally built in 1750, but damaged by fire. It was rebuilt and damaged again during the Caste War of Yucatán in the nineteenth century. It was originally used as a livestock ranch and has long been associated with bee keeping.[1] In 2008 the Maya Beekeeping Society of Yucatán opened a honey processing plant near the hacienda.[2]
Architecture
Due to deterioration, the hacienda was completely refurbished in a traditional style. It has 2 large bedrooms, a dining room, multiple terraces and colorful gardens. There is a shrine to honor San Cosme, patron saint of the hacienda.[1]
