Los Cardones

This place is incredible! I won't stay anywhere else in Cerritos when I come back. Lots of character and good energy here, plus a great covered common space with a well built kitchen. We actually stayed in multiple nights just to make use of the kitchen and dining room- so fun. You're walking distance to the beach, hills, a little tienda, bars, etc. plus Rachelle the manager is so helpful and kind. I can't recommend it enough!

Amazing place to stay with friends or family. With your own palapa for dining or drinks and an entire kitchen to prepare your meals and share your stories of your days adventures. Pool on the way too, what more could you ask for. Rachele the onsite manager is just brilliant.

If you crave the Pacific Ocean, respect the land and the people, enjoy sustainable luxury or are otherwise responding to The Call of the Baja Sur, then book LosCardones.  Located a few miles south of an Energy Nexus, a gushing water source and the Tropic of Cancer; on a perfect point break suited for all manner of ocean enthusiasts, LosCardones carves a blissful retreat out of the sheer Baja desert.  Freshly remodeled after Hurricane Odile reorganized the whole coastline, LosCardones is stylish and sustainable; generating its energy solely by solar (power output accommodates up to 15 guests) and capturing greywater for the baby groves.

LosCardones are three ocean facing structures. The main hotelito is two stories with four balconied suites which boast picturesque desert ocean views. The hotelito sits adjacent to the Palapa which consists of a cantina, lounge, kitchen, bathrooms and shower for pre/post beach rinsing. Just uphill is the Bodega, on top of which sits the fifth suite. All five suites are clean, sealed from bugs and have traditional leather-bound, southwest furnishings. The Rooms contain comfortable beds dressed in silky linens, fresh terra cotta floors, vaulted ceilings, local decor, and large clean bathrooms. The oversized showers are stocked with soft towels and toiletries, and filtered water. The maid service comes every three days, so be sure to request any cleaning utensils (e.g. a broom) from the site host Ron.

Unpack at your leisure, while laughing at how you “just found the coolest spot in Cerritos”, then saunter past the greywatered Palms and desert-scape gardens up the stairs into the Palapa. If you don’t get sucked into the hammocks and the ocean vista, be sure to proceed straight to the agave tequila rack for a celebratory Don Julio. (NOTE: If you plan to imbibe, pre-purchase alcohol inexpensively at the Costco in Los Cabos.) Just beyond the Cardones Cantina you’ll find the spacious, self-serve kitchen with an industrial range, sharp knives, and plenty of counter space to organize taco parties. (NOTE: Buy fresh fish and produce daily in Pescadero and Todos Santos.) Unless you hire a chef and cleaning services for your stay, make sure to clean up after yourself in the kitchen. A clean kitchen is polite to other visitors!

Most likely, ¡Ronaldo the Great, will greet you upon arrival, set you up with your keys and suite, give you a tour and square up any administrative issues. As he will be your main site host, be sure to make acquaintances with him. He gives advice on activities, addresses concerns about LosCardones, and brews the best cup of coffee at dawn on the Baja! If you surf, you’re stoked, Ron knows the break. I watched him catch air and get barreled on the same wave! Paddle out with him if he gives you the chance! Be specific to Ron if you need something (e.g. linens from the maid) or if there is an issue on the property. Ron can help you translate, but don’t confuse him for housekeeping!

And remember! You’re in the Baja where solar and septic reign: turn off your lights and do refrain from plugging the toilets with excess paper. Also, wrap and trash all hygiene products. At this point, I know you’re thinking that it sure sounds like management writing this review. It’s not. I’m real. I found this place by the grace of Google and made my way to the doorstep with my soon-to-be fiancé. I was fortunate to arrive when the owners, Baja Beth and San Mateo, were onsite. We listened to them recount the history of LosCardones while sipping tequila and trying to be helpful with the Christmas decorating.

Throughout the night, I felt myself becoming enchanted by the Cardones' Aura, and I grew mesmerized by the devotion, the mission, and the dream which the owners share for LosCardones.  Being a guest there is a fairy-tale privilege and I ended up showing my gratitude by dragging some polished granite back from the tide pools to help ornament the Agaves.  Hopefully this will become tradition!  The point is, I will always only ever stay with LosCardones…

It is a wonderful and peaceful place with beautiful views.

Olas de Cerritos

Great stay here. Very thoughtful host and God created as well by Rocco the sausage dog. Wendy, thank you so much for the stay and use of your equipment, etc. Very much enjoyed the breakfast as well but I would recommend that you allow people to, have a second serving if necessary. And appreciated access to the kitchen area in the evenings so we could make ourselves a snack or drink. Great staff on site as well. Very friendly. Very close access to the beach and while we didn’t use their boogie boards or surfboards, those were available as well. Very thoughtful. Looking forward to coming back to Cerritos and staying with you again.
Overall, we found Mexico on this trip to be overpriced and restaurants in particular we noticed a good 30% increases in prices and now tips  no longer included. Sometimes taxes are not included. But this is nothing to do with your, fabulous apartments. Just to pass along to the community.

Unbeatable location, 3 min walk to the beach. And the hotel itself is every bit as nice at it looks in the pictures, really beautiful. Rooms are spacious and with the windows open you can hear the ocean. The hot tub is an excellent touch, especially if you're staying in the winter months when it's cool at night. They have 4-5 surfboards that you can use for free, they are soft-top foam boards probably 8-foot and they were in really great condition for our stay. The included breakfast they serve is a total game changer and so is the beach chairs and towels that you can use. Will likely be back here soon!

Wendy and Brenden (along with their staff) have created a special place here in Cerritos. We have loved our stay. Breakfast in the mornings is so delicious. The room is spacious and clean. The location couldn’t be any better! We definitely want to come back! Thank you to the Olas Team for your amazing hospitality.

What a perfect little retreat! Delicious included breakfast, fully equipped kitchen that you can use from 1pm - 9pm, surfboards and beach chairs/umbrellas/towels all included. Two minute barefoot walk to the beach!
Highly recommend this place.

Close to beach ~ cottage had 2 bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, indoor living area, 2 baths, and beautiful fenced patio close to pool. Was a terrific family vacation.

Las Palmas Hotel Cerritos

Beautiful boutique hotel! Their Pool Day Pass is a great deal. The infinity pool is just a real treat. Delicious food, great drinks and an amazing welcome from the owner and all his staff make the place really special! I highly recommend to anyone visiting the area not to miss Las Palmas Hotel and Restaurant!

We were traveling through Baja and stopped in Cerritos for a beach day. After a gloomy beach day we decided it would be fun to get a day pass here. The facilities are amazing! Great pool, great hot tub, and a putting green and basketball court. The drinks and service were exceptional!

My husband and I were looking for a place to have lunch and are so glad we stopped at Las Palmas. Our meal was really delicious and beautifully plated and the service was super friendly. I highly recommend this place! Also, they have a day pass for the pool which is a great deal.

We didn’t stay there but ate in the restaurant and had a wonderful experience. My son was able to shoot hoops on their awesome outdoor bball hoop while we watched football and ate. Food was great, staff were so friendly and the owners are awesome and really have created an awesome plane to stay, eat, and play.

Great place to eat, drink, swim and hot tub. We were at the rv park beside so we didnt rent a room. Can buy a pool pass. Great service, the owner and staff are amazing.

Hotel So Far So Good

My stay at "So Far So Good" hotel in Cerritos, was truly exceptional. The extra comfortable bed ensured a restful night, and the helpful staff, particularly Juanito and Alex, went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. The private pool added a touch of luxury, and the breathtaking view complemented the overall experience. I highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and picturesque getaway.

What a beautiful sustainable place that Alejandro maintains here.  Plunge pool was cold and necessary on a hot day.  Smoothies were green, bed was comfortable.  Well priced and well-maintained.  If you want to upgrade beyond a surf hut, it is worth a visit to SFSG when checking out Cerritos!

I recently visited this hotel while traveling to the area for work, and I was a little disappointed in the service and the space. My best description of my thoughts during my stay is "that wasn't quite what was advertised" I just want to preface -- if you are a surfer or just someone looking for a bed to sleep in close to the beach, this might be your place. (albeit, it's very expensive in that case) But for me, I was specifically looking for somewhere that was modern, clean, safe, had a pool*, and had basic necessities like toiletries and a cafe for easy breakfast. (all things that were advertised)

The main reason I booked this hotel was because I saw a photo of a pool on their Google listing -- it looked modern and sunny and I was so looking forward to laying out there on my day off. There is no pool at this hotel. I am not sure how the photo made it into their listing, but that is the first thing that felt disappointing and honestly deceiving. There are only gardens in between the buildings (pretty, but not what I expected)

The second thing I noticed was that the room was technically like the photos on the website, but not quite as clean or nice as the photos appear. The sonos speaker that was provided was broken, the toiletries in the bathroom were a random collection of some unlabeled jars and some labeled with sharpie, and upon closer inspection, the body lotion available was actually left open and empty. The bathroom felt very exposed -- with full glass windows exposing you to the outside while in the shower. Even though our room looked on an empty field, as a female this made me feel uncomfortable. We also weren't able to deadbolt our door, which I really didn't like.

I also felt that the service was so confusing, partially because of the language barrier (I take more responsibility for not being able to speak better spanish here) but also there wasn't info in the room or at check-in for things like connecting to wifi, the housekeeping schedule, how to get more clean water, and how to lock the door. There was a little sign to hang on the door requesting a room clean, but even though we had the sign on our door, no housekeeping ever came. After a day or so, our shower began to smell and our floors were pretty sandy, which would have been really nice to have cleaned.

And finally, the cafe -- I thought there was an on-site restaurant, and when we arrived there was a sign on the rooftop of the main building that appeared to maybe have been a restaurant that is no longer operating. The 'breakfast' promised was fruit, and the espresso machine wasn't working. Again, not outrageous, but just not what was expected.

Again, as I said at the beginning, if what you are looking for is a simple surf hotel, you would probably enjoy this place. However, I splurged a little extra to stay here thinking that it would provide a little bit more comfort than other hotels that appeared to be more basic, and I really feel that I overpaid and did not receive the level of service that I thought I would get. I ended up paying over $650 for three nights that felt like I was in a hostel.

This hotel is beautifully put together. The rooms are clean, spacious and very comfortable, the property itself is gorgeous with very impressive gardens. The staff are extremely warm and welcoming. I will stay here any time I am in Cerritos.

It’s a great hotel close to the beach, you can enjoy beautiful sunsets from the roof. The hotel is clean the staff is amazing, Alex makes you feel at home, they let you use the surfboards, beach towels, umbrellas, chairs and the food is healthy and delicious! Excellent hotel 100% recommended

Baja69

Best accommodations in Cerritos, period. Beautiful architecture, that’s a mix of old charm Mexico, with modern amenities and the friendliest owners on the Baja peninsula.

Rooms are immaculate. Art gallery onsite.

Very short and easy walk to the beach.

What an unexpected gem. I’m so glad we trusted our intuition and the other reviews. The most special part of travel is finding these quaint, magical places. We were welcomed like old friends and had the most peaceful experience and then got an amazing homemade breakfast the next morning. Baja69 is a special place literally hand built with love. We will be back!

We loved it here so much that we came back to stay a second time on the same trip--and then extended that stay.

It's everything I could ask for in an accommodation: welcoming hosts, excellent location, clean and well-appointed rooms (with the best showers we found in a month in Baja), beautiful view, delicious breakfast. I loved that it's walking distance to a nice quiet stretch of beach, far enough from the point to be very peaceful but still only a couple of minutes to the surf break.

On a more personal level, Juve and Alma were so sweet and considerate and really were the most gracious hosts. Juve cooks a wonderful breakfast and when I showed an interest in its preparation he took the time to show me the process. They put out water for the birds every morning, they welcomed our pets--they're just really good, kind people. We had many wonderful conversations with them and we left feeling like we'd made new friends, whom we're very excited to visit again on our next trip to  Cerritos.

Juve, the owner of Baja69, is one of a kind. He's genuine and kind, the kind of person you remember for years. Baja69 is located 15 mins away from the surf point of Cerritos, which is great, because you're away from the relative bustle of the town, yet close. The beach free from surfers is a 4 min walk from the hotel. I loved every second of staying at Baja69 and talking to Juve. The breakfast was amazing too.

I have stayed in many wonderful places in Baja Sur over the years but Baja69 is my favorite. The rooms are large and comfortable, the showers are hot with great pressure, and the views of the ocean and surrounding area from the balconies are magnificent. Best of all are Juve and Alma, the lovely couple that operate Baja69. They are so warm and hospitable and really make you feel at home. Every morning they will cook you breakfast and it's always on point. Juve's beans (Mama's recipe) are the best I've had. (Maybe he'll share the secret if you ask.) I plan to stay here anytime I visit the Cerritos/Pescadero area.

*As of this writing, Google Maps has a weird way of getting to the property if coming from the south. Rather than taking a right off the highway and going under the bridge, I think it's much easier to drive a little further north on the highway and make a u-turn, then make a right onto the dirt road next to the "Baja Shipping" building. Look for the large Mexican flag!

Cerritos Beach Hotel

The costumer service here is amazing. The staff are so helpful. Obe and Fernando made sure where comfortably. It was a bit cold and raining and they made sure we where warm by giving us a Mexican blanket. Thank you so much for your hospitality your amazing service and taking care of us where we where there.

Good place to relax just a few meters to the beach. Rooms were simple but clean and comfortable. Loved the open shower with good pressure and hot water. Restaurant and bar were overpriced in my opinion. Breakfast was free but we had to pay for orange juice. 200 pesos for 2 glasses of OJ.  Would stay there again but eat somewhere else

I stayed at Desert Moon in January 2022. Penthouse 2 was great! Access to the rooftop patio was convenient for watching the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The pool was perfect for lounging in a sunhat and reading a book . The owner and all of the staff were welcoming and lovely. Even if you do not stay here, you MUST go there just for the wood fire pizza! Honestly, it is some of the best pizza I have ever had. It was such a treat to find this in Mexico! My favorite was the Hawaiian with some added caramelized onion. Highly recommended. Also, if you are there at breakfast time, the fresh fruit smoothies with ALL OF THE FRUITS is a refreshing treat. I’ll be back 🙂

Moon Desert is an amazing rustic and mesmerizing hotel. A quiet and peaceful place to get away from the city smog and enjoy nature at its finest. The ocean is really close and I really had the best time with the hotel staff in the bar. 5/5 easily!!

The Staff (Abraham and Francisco) were awesome!  The food was great and service was excellent!  Nice smaller place where you get to know everyone within a day or two.  the beach was so much fun even though we don't surf.  Rooms were clean and accommodating.  Would definitely stay there again.  (Hopefully soon )

Casas Cerritos

The house was clean and comfortable, hosts were responsive and helpful, and the kocation can’t be beat!!

Cerritos Surf Town Beach Hotel & Spa

Overall:
Good, clean and comfortable property with friendly staff. Pricey simply for the location.

The good:
The location is right on this beautiful clean beach. The whole red snapper with almond sauce dinner I got was amazing. And the wine selection was decent.

The not so good:
For the high price, I would have expected a welcome drink at a minimum or a light breakfast.

The wifi is not great in the rooms, which is fine. Use your laptop by the pool and enjoy the view.

The hot tubs were not working the last couple of days I was there.

Love , love this place. Beautiful Ocean view  very clean love the rooms and the service is immaculate. Our favorite person working at this resort was Carlos he went above and beyond you should ask for him. Also, you would enjoy the conversation with Hector
And Karen is such a sweetheart. If you’re coming to visit Carlos can get you whatever you need very friendly guy bilingual and will be able to show you and tell you all the hotspots.

Great location and nice staff in the restaurant. The rooms, however, are unfinished (no electricity, construction during the day, etc) we stayed in a very overpriced "deluxe" room which was clearly not ready yet. The person at the reception was extremely unhelpful (couldn't even send towels to the rooms that didn't have towels when we checked in). With the same price, you find a much better room.

Stopped by with my wife and a friend randomly on a day trip from Los Cabos to explore Todos Santos and the area. We were looking to check out the beach, have a drink and snacks, and catch the sunset. Getting here does take mile or two drive over a rough-ish dirt road.

Overall it was a very cool place with a nice mellow vibe. The bar is under a palapa at the very large pool and served pretty good margaritas with attentive wait staff. We had chips and guacamole as well as some ceviche both which were good.

We didn't get in, but the pool was huge and very clean. Also, there is an attached large hot tub that a couple of guests said was truly hot.

The property overlooks part of Cerritos Beach. The beach looked good for swimming and surfing with close to a dozen people out surfing. This is in comparison to the beaches in Los Cabos which can have crazy rough surf.

Before we left, we checked out 3 different rooms. One was a "Garden Villa" This had a living room, full kitchen, and a bath on the first floor with 2 bedrooms upstairs with a King in one and queen in the other. Not beachside. They said they cost about 5,000 pesos (~$320 US). On the web I saw as low as $260. We saw a studio with a bed and bath also not beach view. It was pretty nice. Cost about 3,000 pesos. Finally, we saw a beach side studio with similar setup. There was a small patio and hammock as well. I missed the price on this but online its about $190 U.S.

We'll comeback and stay here. Really like the low key vibe compared to the craziness of Cabo San Lucas where the world seems to be trying to get you to buy something.

Great place to enjoy a drink and meal while watching the surfer. Location right on the beach. Good food, great service, loved the entertainement. We wished we would of brought our kids as they offer smoore kits at the fireplace in the evening.

Mayan Village Resort

Moderately priced, basic and rustic ocean side / beach hotel. Room was a sparsely equipped, mostly straw hut on the beach. Very quiet, except for the ocean waves. Very few people around while I was there. Neither guest, nor staff were present in any number. Short walk from the hut to the bathroom / shower hut. Perfect stop for rest and relaxation. A little difficult to find form the road.

Located right on the cerritos beach, this is a beautiful spot.  Staff is very friendly and helpful.  Knowing that the accommodations were beach huts, I had little to no expectations of amenities or services.  I knew there would be a bit of ruggedness involved, and bugs being part of the mix and minimal bathrooms, showers and water use.  No problem, being on the beach just steps to the ocean is worth it.  However, I did not count on the bed bugs, and water ran out just about every other day.   Overall, had a great time.

If you have a late arrival to Los Cabos Intl and its after dark when you arrive to KM 67, expect a difficult time locating the property.  Signage is poor.  Daytime should not be a problem.  You will be instructed to check in at the Hacienda Cerritos, the beautiful hotel on the cliff.  But you may not find anyone there at all, especially if you are arriving after dark, even if their stateside communications department is fully aware of your late checkin.  Checkin was an offputting process for us. The time between arriving at KM 67 and opening the door to our palapa took 3 hours, after a full day of airline travel.  No bueno.   A local Gringo massage therapist ended up helping us contact security from Hacienda Cerritos who could contact the groundskeeper at Mayan Village Resort to accommodate us.  Had it not been for her we could have spent our first night in Mexico sleeping on a public beach.  We were not happy, and stateside administration did nothing to address the situation other than a short email apology for the inconvenience, though I specifically requested a direct phone call.

BEDBUGS need to be professionally treated in all palapas.  If you are sleeping in the bed then they are present.  There are no fitted sheets, just flat sheets that don't reach the end of the mattresses.  I would recommend bringing your own sheets for this property.

The caretakers during our stay Javier and Daisy were professional and wonderful.  They respected boundaries but were not afraid of them and could not have been more sweet and accomodating.  Since we were the only guests at the village during our stay getting acquainted with these two was a highlight of our stay.  Javier's English is adequate and he is eager to improve, he is a real asset to the operation.

Overall, We had a most wonderful time during our six nights at Cerritos beach.  The beachfront access was absolutely fantastic, like having our own private beach.  We plan on returning to the Todos Santos/Pescadero region, but not the Mayan Village Resort.

Beautiful location and economical. Must be ok with sharing bathrooms/showers and having no hot water. I liked having a rental car to visit other places. My experience here has been great!

I had not been at the hotel, only at the beach. The beach is beautiful, long as no other. You can walk for hours along the beach and enjoy the exquisite sunsets

Sol Pacifico Cerritos

Absolutely amazing! Love the food, atmosphere, staff & beach club! Been there 4 times and cant wait to go back! Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Gym is to die for and the pool and hot tubs are perfect. The local area including towns of Todos Santos and Pescadero have some of the best food and drinks ive ever had. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Perfect location on Playa Cerritos, a short walk to the point but like a private beach out front.  Tony and his staff keep everything looking great and are always helpful.  The condos are big and the two units we have stayed in were very nice.

Tony has built a place for Americans and Canadians to retire. I’ve been all over the world and I have never seen a Resort so beautiful and well maintained.
The food, staff and owner are amazing.

Wow this is has been a spectacular experience. I've been to Cabo numerous times but Sol Pacifico Cerritos is by far the best. The service was impeccable, the view was breathtaking and the food was delicious. Best sunset I've ever seen. I would highly recommend.

Our favorite place to stay when we come to Cerritos.  This pool is amazing. So peaceful and safe.
