3 Stars Hotels in Baja California Sur, Mexico

Rooms were ok for the price. No sewer smell for us. Shower drain was slow though. Food was the best, authentic Mexican, I couldn't eat enough. Food selection was minimal, but it was really great tasting. Pool bartenders were slow, but sped up if you leave a few bucks for tip. Check in was mostly quick. However once you are checked in you are ushered over to the time share people. Just say NO. We even had the infamous Jorge take our baggage, no problems with him, he was polite, knowledgeable and quick. The only major complaint about this place was the trash wifi. The wifi DOES NOT have a MESH system. So as you move throughout the resort you have to connect to a new hotspot. Infuriating, on top of that they use some home grown crap sign in system, so your device cannot ever remember the username and password. So every time you sign in (even if you signed in previously) you have to re-enter the wifi credentials. I've had way better wifi at cheap hotels in the mountains of costa rica in the middle of no where. It's 2022 there is absolutely no excuse for this.

We have positives and negatives about the staff, 2 of the guys serving drinks were great, Pelipe and Alfredo were amazing, we cannot fault them. They always had a smile and made us feel great! However Fidel Castro was unbelievably rude and unfriendly, he made us feel uncomfortable and we didn’t like this services around the pool, but we will not visit again until he is not here.

Right on the waterfront our room had balcony facing the ocean but on main road which can be noisy

Just don't bother. I booked 2 rooms back in February for our stay in August. I paid the balance a week before the trip. When I arrived I was told that they couldn't verify the deposit I made in February or that I had paid the remaining balance. I showed them proof of both because I printed and saved the documentation for all payments. I was told by the front desk staff (Abraham and Itzel) that they close payments take a day to show up. When I told them I paid a week ago then the story changed. After them rudely telling me multiple times I had to pay $529.47 as an incidental fee whilst the lady next to us was told $200 for her incidental fee, I had enough. They said that they had to call Reservations to confirm which was conveniently closed at the time even though i called reservations 3 times that week to confirm what was needed for check in. My friend brought up to them that their contracts said $100 for incidental fees that we signed and they said their solution for us was for us to hold $200 on one card and $300 on another card implying that they thought we didn't have the money. The whole time the two of them were conversing back and forth in spanish as if I didn't understand them as they did not know that Spanish is actually my first language. At this point I opted to speak to her in Spanish to which she stared at me baffled and then called her manager Michael. Michael told us that they couldn't verify the deposit so we had to pay the money. I asked him why and he said they closed the nooks monthly so it wasn't showing on their screen. I informed him that we paid it in February and showed him proof. Therefore if you close books monthly then you have it. I informed him that I was here and heard Abraham tell the woman next to us that the fee was $200. At which point he told us that we had to paid incidentals of $200 per room and that was all. Upon getting to my room I was disappointed with how dated it was. The restaurant ans bar staff were amazing. I had a great time and much better customer service next door at the Grand Solmar. We came for a group event and all the people at the event had the same or worse experiences. At check out they had their ducks in a row on everything though in order to get money they thought was owed to them. Upon leaving the resort I discovered that I and several others are covered in rashes that appear to be bug bites. I will never stay here again.

Hampton inn was advertising the hotel like it had a swimming pool but guess what the pool is under reinnovation so there was no pool for my Christmas holiday. Had I known this in advance I would have booked another hotel. The hotel was okay and a good value for the money with the pool but without a pool it's just a hotel in the middle of nowhere without any amenities. I couldn't even really tell I was by the beach because I had a mountain view because I had a mountain view because I had a mountain view. There was no way to really look at the ocean because of course there was no pool and breakfast was monotonous the same thing every single day no variance no difference and basically know meat I would say it was a very substandard breakfast and unappetizing and not really hot. Only canned juices and no decaffeinated coffee. I would not stay here again without a pool. And be careful when you get a room because some of the rooms are moldy and the ice machine are broken on every floor except for in the main lobby. This hotel needs a little money pumped into it and the pool restored to working order. The two queen bedroom was roomy put with no pool I didn't really enjoy my experience. Staff was professional but I'm sure they're tired of hearing people complain about the fact that a hotel that advertises a pool doesn't actually have a pool that functions. The daily fruit options were not exactly what I would call fresh either a little rancid. The attached pictures are of the broken ice machine signs the less than fresh fruit, and the sealed off entrance to the pool.

I really enjoyed my stay - I booked really last minute and I arrived and was greeted so warmly and with so much respect. The front desk staff were kind and funny and respectful - everything you hope for. The room itself was perfectly clean. I really loved the bedding - it was that old school high-end hotel bedding which you don't find so much anymore. I just loved it. Fantastic service. Fantastic room. Thanks OneHotel La Paz.

Just stayed at Hotel Catedral La Paz for 4 days, and I was very impressed. First time in La Paz, and the location was a few blocks from the malecon, making it a very convenient location. about 20 minutes from the airport. The staff was amazing from check in to check out. The breakfast was great and a huge add on to our trip. The service during breakfast is professional, courteous, and friendly. The food tasted great! The rooms are exactly like the pictures present which is extremely important. Not to mention AC feels amazing after a hot humid day in La Paz. This hotel definitely made an amazing first impression and we look forward to staying again! GREAT JOB HOTEL CATEDRAL STAFF!! :)

Rooms have air conditioning, mini fridge with freezer, personal wifi specific to your room, small balcony with city view, hot water doesn’t last long in the shower so keep it short and no bathtub, maid service daily, coffee maker, dishes/utensils provided for two people, 2 free bottles of water at check in, smart TV, makeup mirror for women, great restaurant and full bar (food is excellent) staff is very friendly and most speak English very well and if you’re lucky you can get a gated parking spot otherwise parking on the street is easy and free. There is a bit of traffic noise and the street is one way in front of the hotel. The swimming pool is not very big but it’s very nice. The restaurant/bar can accommodate big parties if friends want to come have dinner but you’ll need to reserve the table. Spacious booths can seat 6-8 or try a table for more comfort if you’re large around the mid section. Hotel is quaint with not many rooms and is close to town/marina but not too close. Easy access and a safe area.

The room is very large and comfortable. The pool is very nice. The hotel restaurant is also cheaper than the surrounding restaurants and recommended. Overall the hotel is new and wonderful, but the lady at the front desk is very impressed with the prepaid payment at the time of check-in and the explanation of what is an open voucher that can be used in the hotel is insufficient It was incompetent. The staff other than her were friendly and nice.

Do not stay in this hotel and beware of the low rates. I stayed several nights at this hotel and everything was a disaster. I arrived at 2:30 p.m. and checked in with Alejandra at the front desk and she told me to ”sit and wait until check in time at 3:00” even though my room was cleaned and ready for check in. So I waited with 3 other groups of people. I asked Alejandra for a handicap accessible room, and she said ”we have a lot of guests in wheelchairs in the hotel” (I did not see a single guest in a wheelchair). As soon as the clock struck 3:00 p.m. she allowed us to check in. I was assigned a room (319) and the room (along with the entire hotel) had so many issues. I asked Alejandra for 5 days for washcloths she had excuses no wash cloths. The gasket in the shower was sticking out (see pic) and I called for maintenance 3x nobody ever showed up. Alejandra kept telling me ”I called him already”. There was water leaking from the shower everywhere and made an annoying noise. I had a horrible view and for five days I was starring out the window at the back of the neighboring hotels run down pipe system (see pictures) and I kept asking Alejandra for a room change for which she never helped me. There was a couple checking in and they asked Alejandra to be assigned to a new room because it had mold and smelled like mold she told them ”I cant give you a new room”. The sink was also clogged and again no maintenance person ever showed up. The over bed lights were broken/loose and one was hanging downward while the other simply didn't turn on (see pictures). Comforter was dirty with red lipstick from a previous guest. The room is full of scuff marks all over the place and maintenance does not keep the walls repainted or cleaned up (see pics). The windows are sealed shut in all the rooms so it's very musty and moldy smelling in all the rooms/hotel (see pics). In the morning my window would condensate and the room smell and felt very uncomfortable and I would not open a window (see pic). The hallways are very loud. The type of doors and lack of sound seals they do not have provide absolutely no sound proofing whatsoever. Did not get any sleep. The TV didn't work so I just played music from my phone I did not even bother calling Alejandra at the front desk. I asked Alejandra every single day for 5 days if she could move me to a different room and she replied, ”check back at 1:00 p.m I don't know who is checking out at this time”. In the gym there were 3 broken, non working machines. No weights or resistance training equipment. I asked Alejandra about the tread mill machine she said it was working fine just needed to plug in, it was plugged in but buttons broken (see pics). The bike seat was completely torn and unsafe to use (see pics). Also, the dining room chairs are torn and beat up (see pics). The ”security” uses the bar area to have breakfast during working hours and eats at the bar dressed in regular clothes with no ID or name tag and serves himsel

The staff were particularly helpful and super friendly at all times, so that made up for okay amenities (the pool was a bit cold at night and harder to go for a quick swim but we managed). We did love the beds, they were incredibly comfy and the room we got was quiet so we were able to have a restful sleep. The breakfast was okay but I would have loved some veggies that they apparently had at some point, yet never brought back out again. The coffee was pretty solid though, so that was a plus. Lastly, the location was gold-walking distance to all the bars, restaurants and places to book tours. Overall, it fulfilled its purpose for our two-night stay :).

We chose Medano Hotel for the location and good reviews. We were very pleased with the comfortable & clean room with a ceiling fan and remote to run the AC. The balcony overlooking the pool from our 4th floor was a nice place to sit in the evening and listen to the live music, playing from about 8-10 PM. There were many activities which we did not take advantage of, including pickleball, putting green, pool table, ping pong, foosball and air hockey. The gym that is available for free is amazingly nice. We were surprised there was even free laundry machines. The waiter, Alan, was a delight every breakfast. He kept the coffee coming. The free breakfast options were multiple. Eggs were a bit bland but the pancakes with fresh strawberries were quite flavorful. Salsa could have helped the eggs with the flavor. From our location, we were able to walk about .25 miles up a small hill and down again to the Medano beach. It was heavily populated on the weekend but less so during the week. The constant hounding to buy things by the locals along the beach got very old very quick. We found a beach on the west side of the marina (maybe Playa Coral Negro) that was a walk but quite nice with huts to provide cover and less selling being done. Food was an easy walk from the hotel, reasonable and delicious at Taco Gardenias (shrimp & fish tacos!) and El Pollo de Oro. Cash only for El Pollo de Oro and sit on the left side for the best service. Sweets at Docecuarenta casa de cafe were decadent.

Rooms were ok for the price. No sewer smell for us. Shower drain was slow though. Food was the best, authentic Mexican, I couldn't eat enough.

It's a little far from the center. It takes about 30 minutes by car. However, there are no entertainment districts around, so you can spend a quiet time. Check-in is possible even before the check-in time if there is space. In that respect, I was saved because I arrived early.
