Vidasoul Hotel and Crossroads Country Club Restaurant

Beautiful scenery and secluded. The air con above our bed leaked on us during the night. Ended up pulling the bed away from the wall with great difficulty. The sceptic system does not handle toilet paper so be aware. I ordered fish for dinner and it was well undercooked. I was quite surprised by this as I often cook fish at home and it is the simplest ingredient to prepare. They graciously offered to redo the dish but everyone else had finished and enjoyed their dishes. They gave me a nice slice of flan for desert, on the house. Overall we were enchanted by this location. We observed whales in the distance as the sun was setting. Breakfast was delicious, coffee the best.

I really want to like this place... The food at the restaurant is excellent. The location is also amazing, so long as you know what you are in for in this area. We did, and yes, the roads are rough, don't come to the area if that's not what you expect. The Crossroads restaurant (I'll try to post a separate review) has great food and Ari, is a gracious host / server. However, the hotel itself is in a significant state  of disrepair. The room cleaning seemed very good, but the building is falling apart. The pool had garbage, rocks and growth in it and clearly was not in a state for swimming. If we had been informed in advance that the pool had issues, it would have been appreciated. The sliding doors were almost inoperable. I'm sure it is hard to get good maintenance staff, but this was the worst of several nice properties we stayed at and we were quite disappointed. We booked one of the ocean front suites and could barely see out the windows, which desperately needed to be washed. The room itself was quite stunning as you can see in the pictures, but when you get up close, it is not what we expected. We would come back for the restaurant, not for the accommodation.

What an incredible experience! Listening to crashing waves from the Sea of Cortez with a black velvet blanket of twinkling stars above was breath taking. Felt welcomed immediately, even though we arrived after dark. The staff was attentive and great with knowledge of the area, including recommendations for snorkeling. The food exceeded my expectations for an operation so remote. The fact that they run into town and acquire everything multiple times a week shows the dedication of staff to keeping high standards. Room was minimalist with great art, clean and up to date. I wouldn't mind taking the bed home with me!

This place is beautiful! The entire staff is super helpful, it’s a very modern and as esthetically pleasing environment. You get to hear the waves all night long. We got to visit with the owner herself this morning and to hear her stories was something you just don’t get everywhere. The food is simply delicious. I will certainly come back here some day!

The restaurant was so good! Amazing sea bass fish tacos and guacamole. What could be better than a meal like this, sitting beachside and watching the whales?

Hotel Villa Santa Cruz

Our family spent 7 amazing days at Villa Santa Cruz over the Christmas holiday.  The attention to detail by the owners is evident throughout this stunning property.  They have truly thought of everything.  We stayed in a rooftop villa that was spacious and very well-appointed.  Breakfast each morning in the main villa was always fresh and flavorful as were the dinners including a special New Year’s Eve buffet of Baja cuisine.  The two pools offer a peaceful environment to lounge away the afternoon and a nice stroll across the property to the Green Room provides unique beachfront dining.  The staff at Villa Santa Cruz is engaging, kind and very helpful making the whole relaxing experience truly memorable for our family.  We look forward to coming back!

Villa Santa Cruz is, in a word, magical!  We've enjoyed every minute of our 8 annual visits and think about it (and Todos Santos) virtually every day.  Jessica and Matt are wonderful people and hosts and the entire team is fantastic. Everything is perfect - the rooms, pool, food/drinks (both at the Villa the Green Room) and the beach.  It's our happy place and will be yours as well. There is nothing like it!!

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND it as a 4-star hotel.
THE GOOD:
Really nice facilities, beautiful main pool, friendly staff, delicious food, some of which is farm-to-table from the premises, coffee and muffins are brought out to you every morning. We had a 2 hour lapse between checkout (which couldn’t be extended) and leaving for the airport and they let us stay in a room that was available so that we had somewhere to leave our luggage and shower if we wanted to enjoy the facilities.

THE BAD:
The place does not feel like a 4-star hotel by any stretch of the imagination. It also feels like the place is still under construction. Although they are expanding, some of the main areas have exposed wires where lights normally go, there are lights for paths at night, but they weren’t working, and everything feels new in a sort of unfinished way. The rooms do not have TVs, almost the entirety of the room (we stayed at the 2-bedroom villas) opens to the public pool so there is no privacy (we ended up keeping the curtains closed the whole time), the hot tub wasn’t hot and some of the rooms are very small. The place feels like a new hotel that is still training their staff.

Keep in mind that you are in the middle of nowhere, with nothing within walking distance, off a 10 minute drive into town on a very rough and dark dirt road, so walking to town isn’t an option, and it will cost you about $100 USD round trip every time you want to go into town with the hotel’s shuttle (this should be a free service for this level of a hotel, given the cost of the rooms and the location). Although you are on the ocean, the beach is very steep and there are strong currents and rip tides in that section of the ocean which means they highly recommend that you do not get in the water unless you are a very experienced swimmer. That leaves you with the option of two pools on the premises or going on a paid excursion to another place.

Although the two restaurants offer delicious food, only one is open for lunch and they are both very expensive. Breakfast is included with a handful of choices of meals, juices and basic coffee, but if you want a cappuccino, a latte or even a hot chocolate, that’s extra. Breakfast can be brought to your room – for an extra charge. In addition, the limited menu does not change so after 3-4 days, we had pretty much tried every meal. This is not a place for picky eaters or those with eating restrictions. Dinner for two at the “Green Room” (which is basically a series of huts with outdoor tables on the beach), will run you about $60-$80 per person, not including dessert or alcohol. Keep in mind that the Green Room, although it is within the hotel’s premises, is not part of the hotel and you cannot charge your meal to your room.

In general, we found the hotel was not equipped, nor sometimes willing or able to do anything outside of their food or beverage menu. Keep in mind, this is being touted as a 4-star hotel.
Although the staff is friendly, service is very slow (we waited 35 minutes one day for just our coffee and orange juice), and a significant portion of the staff does not speak English well. I understand that we are in a foreign country, however, for a hotel of this caliber that caters to foreigners, the staff should be able to understand simple requests like “dressing on the side”.
We ended up spending most of our week there going to other places because after a couple of days, there wasn’t much to do at the hotel.

If you are looking for a place where you can just sit by the pool with limited services, if any by the pool, and lounge for most of your time there, this may be for you. It wasn’t for us.

We highly recommend Villa Santa Cruz! Every time we visit Todos Santos it is one of our stops. We feel like family! Service is exceptional, grounds are impeccable. We love Smokey and Owen (the house cat and turtle)!! Most of all a big thank you to Jessica, Marco, and Victor; you are all sincere and wonderful people. Hope to see you soon!

We were in need of a relaxing beach getaway and had heard good things about the vibe in Todos Santos. After some research we selected Villa Santa Cruz due to it's wonderful reviews and seaside location. We were absolutely delighted by our beach front room, the beautiful lush gardens, warm hospitality, food & beverage service. Highly recommend it!

Casa Santos

Pros: absolutely stunning design, incredibly quiet and peaceful, most comfortable bed outside my own I have found, beautiful views, delicious home cooked breakfast every morning, very responsive virtual front desk, detailed emails and correspondence on things to do / additional important info

Cons: they suggest you rent a car, and truly you must. It’s about a 12 min drive down a dirt road to town, so not something you’d want to walk, and a half hour or so walk to the beach at least. Also, they have chronic power issues which are not within their control (state controlled power company) and we encountered multiple blackouts per day, which also controls the water. They have a generator but it is only turned on with an extended blackout. Honestly not a huge deal, just happened to be a wedding weekend for us so getting ready on a set schedule with blackouts was challenging.

Our stay at Casa Santos was simply perfect! We fell in love with every architectural and design detail, but the best part was the heartwarming breakfasts served by the friendly staff. Can't wait to return!

I recently stayed at Casa Santos and it was an amazing experience. The property has a peaceful atmosphere and stunning architectural details. It's located very close to the beach, making it the perfect spot for a seaside getaway. The suites are beautifully modern and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend Casa Santos for anyone looking for a luxurious and tranquil escape.

This amazing lodging option in magical Todos Santos is located perfectly--walking distance to the beach plus super close to world-class yoga and all the quaint shop and restaurant options town has to offer. We were awakened each morning with a feast for the eyes in all directions! Incredible mountain vistas, dreamy desert flowers and cacti dotting the vast landscape, the great Pacific with its endless azure blue below and clear sky above made for incredible sunrises and sunsets. Even after dark, we were left in wonder as if we were seated front-row in the cosmos, salt air on our skin and the stars within arms reach. Can't properly convey this special place in words and also can't wait to get back! Bonus points for the mega-comfy beds, great rest.

What a magical spot! Couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate my birthday with my closest peeps. The architecture is beautifully thought out, blending perfectly into the vast landscape, reminiscent to the great Louis Kahn. A very understated vibe throughout, from the overall design to the service, which is always a delicate balance to strike. The 360 views are breathtaking and the nearby beach is practically deserted. I totally recommend Casa Santos to the adventure-type traveler and hope to be back really soon.

TODOS SANTOS HOTEL & YOGA RETREAT

Tribu Todos Santos

Very sad about our arrival experience. Despite getting there an hour early for our 3pm check-in, the receptionist seemed unhappy to see us and told us that our room wasn't ready. They also wouldn't let us use the pool area as it still needed to be cleaned. We were expecting a warm welcome, maybe a drink, and the chance to relax outside while we waited for our room. Instead, we were met with rudeness.

The hotel has a beautiful view, but the tipis were not very clean - there were hairs on my blanket. Overall, the price we paid did not match the quality we received. It was clear that the hotel did not meet the standards we expected from owners in Colorado.

There is no guard at night in the property and the recpetion closes at 7pm, which they didn’t informed us!

Nice hotel set in a haven of peace with an incredible view of the beach. However, the comfort & quality of the rooms could be better. Delicious breakfast prepared by the friendly cooks Marianne and Sandra.

Our experience upon arrival was  disappointing. Despite arriving an hour before our scheduled check-in time; the woman at the reception looked unhappy to see us and informed us that our room was not ready and that we could not access the pool area as it still needed to be cleaned. We had hoped for a warm welcome, perhaps a glas of water and the ability to at least relax in the outdoor area while waiting for our room. Instead, we were met with a very rude experience.
The hotel was empty we were the only guests for our first night.
While the view from the hotel is stunning, the cleanliness of the tipis (my daughters) left much to be desired, as there were hairs on one of the blankets. The overall price and quality of the hotel did not live up to our expectations. It was evident Our room (Aire- 1st floor) and tipi were still not made / cleaned at 2 pm. As I said before we were the only guests. If I hadn’t asked to do the rooms I am sure they would have never been done.
Our shower was clogged. One of the 2 curtains is upside down, ….
The breakfasts were really delicious ! ! The ladies who prepared & worked in the kitchen were very kind.
The spot, the view, the pool, terrace and dining room are great but the service … OMG
It is a shame.
I personally think that the hotel is not well managed.
Marion Dervichian Convent (from Belgium)

if you're on the fence - go for it! beautiful, peaceful location. clean, well kept property/rooms/communal areas (including kitchen) that are serviced often. beautiful pool, comfortable sunbeds (and they do not play music on speakers - bliss!). breakfast is lovely and the kitchen staff are always happy to help! (my fellow celiacs - gluten free bread available and they will cook it separately!). the reception team are great! there are bicycles to ride into the 'town' (local grocery store and cute cafes). recommend car rental if you don't want to stay in the area. from the property you can walk to the beach (where you can spot whales if you have a good eye), watch the sunsets, and walk along to watch the baby turtles being released!

would highly recommend tribu todos santos :)

What a beautiful place to retreat. The staff is simply the best and the food is incredible. The beach is not swimmable but it’s great for walking and whale watching.

Hostal La Sardina

I had so much fun here! I spent two nights and wish I had stayed more. It’s artsy and affordable. The outdoor showers were one of my favorite parts. The outdoor kitchen was also really awesome. Christian, the owner, is often around and a wealth of knowledge. He’s very welcoming and will recommend all of the best spots around town!

A lovely hostel at the heart of an oasis right below Todos Santos - and walking distance from a lot of good stuff the town has to offer. The space is built with a lot of creativity and love, and feels like a home away from home. Owner Cristian is passionate about Mexican history and will gladly spend time to help understand this fascinating country. A very friendly alternative for anyone wanting to spend quality time in this beautiful town!

Very pleasant hostel. We stayed in the beautiful double room, which was comfortable and stylish. The outside garden is beautiful, and the facilities very well thought out. Christian, the owner, is very attentive, and showed us around the city. We recommend it, and if we had to come back to todo santos, we'd stay at La Sarina.

Christian and Victoria are wonderful hosts. They know the area well and have tons of recommendations of places to eat and travel. They create a warm and welcoming vibe at the hostel, which is in a good location close to town. Would stay again!

Great hostel in todos santos- chill vibe, comfortable bunks, accommodating staff, enjoyable atmosphere and decor. Five minute drive from main streets of town.

Desierto Azul

We have now had two visits to Desierto Azul, and each time has been a lovely decompress into the Baja desert, a place allowing us to rest and chill, to sit and gaze off at the mountains, the cactus garden, or the stars and moon.  It is also very convenient to both Todos Santos, the town, and to the surrounding countryside where we could get off for desert hikes.

The owners and staff are most lovely, and kind, and there to accommodate our every need.  The morning breakfast, lovingly prepared by Marta, was fresh and so very healthy, with fresh bread and locally made granola, and freshly prepared juices and strong, dark coffee (or, a mellow tea).

We've had two different rooms there (there are only 4!), and they were idyllically positioned such that you can see the sun in the morning from your bed, and provide a lovely serene setting to aide and abet your stay.

We will be back...

My wife, two girls (ages 7 and 4) and I had a fabulous week long stay at Desierto Azul!  Fabrizio, Jose, Joey, Ignacio, Martha, and Robert were absolutely amazing hosts, and made us all feel completely at home.  Only thing that would have improved our experience would have been if the pool was a bit warmer.  But the wholesome and delicious breakfasts (home made granola, organic yogurt and juices, avocado toast, etc), simple but perfect room, awesome vibe, etc. were perfect.  HIGHLY recommended!

We loved our stay at Desierto Azul. The property is so thoughtfully and intentionally designed, and really beautifully done. The net effect is a very peaceful and relaxing vibe.  The staff are so kind and warm and responsive. The breakfasts were delicious. The property is very close to the beach and several great restaurants. Highly recommend!

Brilliant small hotel, located close to Todos Santos centre and also the beach.

The design and fit out of the rooms is amazing - stylish and functional. The swimming pool and lounging area is so good. And the fresh breakfasts are excellent. We also attended a cooking class which was fantastic.

However, the element that make the hotel so special is the service. It is incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful. Jose, the manager, is a very special human being!

We would love love love to return!!

Thank you for your warm welcome! Our stay was fantastic. The breakfast buffet was delicious (Thanks to the kind cook Martha) and the room beautifully decorated. Congratulations for your ecological project Desierto Azul, which is a great success.

Camp Santos

Sergio is an amazing host. He was so thoughtful and kind. We camped in our own tent while bikepacking the Cape Loop and had everything we needed. Shower, sink, filtered water, kitchen area, wifi, many chairs and shade structures, outlets to charge our devices, single burner, coffee maker, fridge… He kept everything spotless!! We loved how close we were to the beach and some great restaurants, and we were still close enough to easily bike to and from town. He gave us great recommendations and made sure we were as comfortable as possible.

Sergio is a great host. They have a spot for tent camping for 500 pesos a night. Hot shower and charging stations. Recommended!

had an awesome stay here, Sergio is a great host

I've said here a couple times this place is pretty cool

Casa Rancho

The dirt road is a little rough to get to this great off grid ranch style motel with a secluded pool, patios and ping pong table, but once there its an amazing Mexico feel. Owners are welcoming and accommodating. Each cottage/ room are separate from each other so it gives a little privacy feel but also like a community the way they are set up. At night its very quite and sunsets are pretty cool from the second floor patio area above pool. There is a little grocery store called Sol Dos down the street and recommend getting necessities before arriving because the walk is a good like hike/walk but soothing.

Clean, well appointed, great host, lovely sweet dog named Linda, quiet (mostly), and tropical I the midst of a dry landscape! I would definitely return!

We booked a room through AirB&B here a few weeks in advance.   We were very excited to go to Mexico and planned to drive from our home in Idaho all the way out to California and down to Baja.  However, the first problem we had with Alec is that we couldn't understand his directions.   His response was that the roads there don't have names--that was all he said.
After we got to California we had car trouble that required a part be ordered and that the repairs would take several days.   Alec did not respond to our phone calls or text messages--THE PHONE NUMBER LISTED DOES NOT WORK!   In fact he did next to nothing but take our money.   After we cancelled our reservation four days in advance, he still kept our money.   We are wrangling with AirB&B now to get a refund

Beautiful inside, serene, quiet, great pool and patios. Would recommend for families.

Relaxing nice place..awesome experience to be disconnect from everything!

Bajatemple

Pleasant, chic, but unfortunately very noisy for TS. While the building design is beautiful, harmonious with its surrounds, and clearly a labor of love, and the garden and pool areas are totally atmospheric, the walls and ceiling of the bottom floor rooms are not solid and ring or echo when struck. Passing cars were quite loud and it was easy to hear upstairs neighbors take of belts on the floor, wash hands, etc. We stayed one night and had a great time but not brilliant sleep quality despite the super comfy beds and linens.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Bajatemple. The location is incredible. Ever so slightly out of town, but in the best possible way. Perfect balance between Todos Santos proximity, and restful tranquility. There are excellent bars and restaurants within two minute walk from the property. The staff, and owner, are truly great people and I cannot say enough nice things about their hospitality.

The rooms were pristine, clean, comfortable, and well designed. We were there in what felt like the early launch stage, and you can tell they really care about their guests. The rooftop common area was not yet complete, but guarantee it will further enhance one’s stay. Cannot recommend Bajatemple enough, and thank you for the outstanding stay :)

Our recent stay at Baja Temple Boutique Hotel in Totos Santos was nothing short of exceptional. Over the past decade, we've visited Mexico numerous times, but this experience stood out in every way possible.

From the moment we arrived, the warmth and hospitality of the staff, including the owners, were truly remarkable. They were not only friendly and positive but also incredibly helpful throughout our entire stay. Despite needing to change our booking due to unexpected circumstances, they accommodated us with grace and understanding, moving our stay without hesitation.

The cleanliness and comfort of the room exceeded our expectations. With fresh water readily available and convenient amenities nearby, including restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance, the hotel's location was ideal. A short stroll down Mango Lane led us to a pristine beach, complete with hidden gems like the charming restaurant nestled within the neighborhood.

Our time at Baja Temple Boutique Hotel was simply unforgettable. The genuine care and attention to detail displayed by the staff, coupled with the beauty of Totos Santos, made our stay truly memorable. We cannot recommend this hidden oasis enough—it's a must-visit for anyone seeking a slice of paradise in Mexico.

I just stayed here for 4 nights and loved it so much! It’s so quaint and cozy with such friendly and helpful staff. Several great restaurants and coffee shops directly across the street and quick walk to the beach. It’s a bit out of the center of town which I loved and really enjoyed my time zipping around on one of their scooters that I rented! Can’t wait to visit again.

What a stunner! Absolutely pristinely clean and spacious rooms with a beautiful balcony.  This mattress (and these linens) are the most comfortable we have ever slept on. They just added a gorgeous pool to this serene space - we are totally in love with the vibe here and hate to leave after only one night! The owner is so friendly (+ gave us the perfect dinner recommendation in town) - there is so much love and care built into this place - it’s truly special ❣️❤️
