On a recent Road Scholar trip to Baja we stayed in several government run Desert Inns and most were very nice. This one, however, has seen better days. While it is located directly on the beach, and has a lovely pool area, the rooms are located in Soviet style blocks, some quite far from the main lobby. The restaurant had... More

Desert Inn (AKA La Pinta) in Loreto is a great value. Four of us stayed there for a week - had 2 rooms - both were clean and well maintained. The only problem was a leaking A/C which was fixed promptly. The pool was very nice - it's kept clean and part of it is shaded - a real plus... More

We choose to stay here because it feels like home, only in Mexico. The staff is very helpful with whatever you need, laundry, blow dryers, even getting your clothes you left from another city in Baja! We feel very safe and we come every year to stay here for fishing tournaments. There is room for our truck and trailer and... More
