The hotel is currently undergoing renovations and has been for the past two years, but it remains a fantastic place situated in an incredible location.

La Paz had been on our bucket list for years because my friends and I always wanted to swim with the whale sharks. We're frequent travelers to Cabo, but we never had enough time for the long 2+ hour drive each way. For our trip in April 2023, we decided to dedicate our time exclusively to La Paz, and it definitely lived up to our expectations. The hotel is not exactly a 5-star establishment. We were hoping for something like the Ritz Carlton, but Costa Baja didn't quite match that level. However, the rooms were impeccably clean, the service was exceptional (comparable to the Ritz), and the housekeeping was flawless. The maids are early risers, just like us, and our rooms were cleaned every day before 10AM, which was exactly what we preferred. The property itself is small, but if you're looking for a hidden pool, check out the one near the gym. We had it all to ourselves, and it was absolutely wonderful. At night, the property is peaceful, serene, and simply perfect. During the day, there were occasionally some rowdy party-goers at the main pool, but we didn't mind since we were either out on the ocean or at the spa. The only suggestion I would make is to have more attentive bar servers around the main pool. We had to go to the bar ourselves to get our drinks, and even when we tipped generously, there wasn't an active staff of servers ensuring that we always had a drink by the pool. Overall, this is definitely the place I would recommend staying. Don't forget to try Cardon for brunch, which offers the most breathtaking view in all of La Paz.

Our son's wedding took place at a stunning beach location. The hotel amenities were top-notch, and everything was of the highest quality!

The beach's location is fantastic, but the photos displayed here are quite comical. Presently, I am here and noticing that essential amenities are absent from the room. Moreover, the room itself overlooks a parking garage, and the gym is in disarray with a lack of water bottles. Additionally, every single item incurs an extra charge, absolutely nothing is included.

The hotel is located in the marina, right next to the Hyatt and other luxurious hotels. The rooms are clean and well furnished. The service provided is outstanding and the value for money is exceptional. They offer breakfast/brunch every day until noon. There are three swimming pools and plenty of areas to relax and unwind. Each room has a pleasant patio with a table and chairs, and the air conditioning is powerful. Throughout the day, there are various food and drink options available. 🍹🦜
