A comfortable hotel, clean and inviting, within a few steps of an almost deserted beach. Our room was clean and comfortable, the staff helpful, and the restaurant had pretty good food. The new owners seem to take pride in the operation. There was music in the bar the night we were there, noisy but it was quiet by bedtime. We'd... More

The new name for this hotel is Mission Santa Maria. The new ownership is looking to be very promising. The gardens have been replanted and will be lovely. The hotel has been spiffied up quite a bit from its La Pinta days. The rooms and corridors are massive! The views are stunning from every room. Money has been spent where... More

GREAT hotel, right on the beach. Just be sure to look for the turn at K11 (that's 11 Kilometers past San Quintin).

This is a great place to stay when traveling through Baja! I am very picky about rooms for family to stay in. These are very clean rooms with perfectly running heaters/AC units. The views were great from our bedroom looking at the ocean. It was quite and felt very safe with security. It's a little off the main road so... More

We were traveling by car in Baja California for 3 weeks, in August 2008. We decided to stop here on the way from Tijuana. As other traveller's review, it was very difficult to find the hotel. The direction on their web-site was not correct! no sign on the way! It was dark, infact we arrived at San Quintin at 9,30pm... More

I booked this hotel a couple of months before our stay in anticipation of needing a place to stop on the way down from Los Angeles to San Ignacio. I originally booked the one night, but immediately booked another on arrival as our arrival was late. It cost around US$80 per room per night, which I thought was excellent value.... More

Living in California, we are accustomed to great beaches. However, they are often crowded, and hotels with ocean views cost an arm and a leg. We searched for a place we could drive to, that we could afford, and that had a beach view, and we found it about 200 miles south of the border. This hotel has a fantastic... More

I just came back from a weekend at this hotel (they just changed the name, but I forgot the new one...), and the service was very good. The check-in was prompt and courteous, the room was spacious, clean, and faced the beach (#148). It also had plenty of HOT water, which is very important to me. I ate at the... More

We loved San Quintin and La Pinta! It was a great remote get away! We decided to venture down to San Quintin and booked a room via the La Pinta’s website. (The website room pictures are not updated, the rooms are really much nicer) Leaving from San Diego at 11am, we took our time, stopping at natural attractions along the... More
