My boyfriend Carlos and I stayed at QDJ in the second half of our Spring Break from Law School trip in Mexico. I was tempted to give 4 stars instead of 5 because we had just come from the most amazing B&B - Los Dos in Jocotepec where there were only 4 rooms and the views were spectacular. QDJ was only slightly less intimate but the property was gorgeous and employees were SOOOO amazing that I decided to give the 5.

QDJ employees and staff added to the perfect manicured gardens and greenery, pool, bar, and restaurant. Amenities included bottled water in the room, internet service, and use of a desk phone to call home (the US). All employees were amazingly friendly -- we got to know two of the waiters very well.

Tlaquepaque is a great shopping town. We found some great deals and had a lot of fun!

We returned a few weeks ago from a wonderful visit to Mexico and had the privilege of staying at the Quinta Don Jose'. Having our own B&B in Dundee Oregon our expectations were high and our level of critique would be high and what we found was a completely delightful property. Estella and Arturo our hosts and their staff were warm and welcoming and their attention to detail was phenomenal. We felt nurtured and safe with all the amenities one could possibly want. From the intimate breakfast s to a great happy hour, pool and gardens to the most delightful hammock to read a book in.
The location also could not have been any more convenient than one block off the main promenade in Tlaquepaque and the art world.. Restaurants close, reasonable and exceptional.

Ask if we would return-Yes we would and intend to later this year.
As Innkeepers ourselves and never having written a review we overwhelmingly recommend the Quinta Don Jose"

I stayed at QDJ a second time and brought friends along. We had a wonderful time and absolutely loved it! The service is the best--all the staff members are so friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt like part of a caring family. The owners, Arturo and Estela, are charming and interesting people. The rooms that we had (5 & 7) were very clean and comfortable with gorgeous tilework around the sinks/tubs. Lovely gardens and pool, delicious food at the restaurant, yummy drinks made by talented Charlie at the bar, super nice drivers (Juan Jose and Don Jose), and pretty crafts in town are just a few of the additional reasons why my friends and I are looking forward to a return visit. We started missing QDJ the moment we left!

We stayed at Quinta Don Jose because the pictures in the website looked charming. We wanted to visit Tlaquepaque and Guadalajara. When we saw the real place and experienced the care and politeness of all the staff, we stayed in longer.
The ambience is really relaxing. The docoration is exquisite. The bedroom in which we stayed is comfortable. In addition to that the food was great, as well as the service.
They have put together the mexican warmth with the american efficiency. Everybody there seems to belong there. Great job!
