What's nearby

  • We stayed in the Yurts at Spa Buena Vista and a short walk down the beach are these palapas which are perfect for the hot sunny days. The beach here goes on and for miles. The area is on top of natural hot thermal springs and some spots along the waters edge are actually to hot to stand on because of the thermals. We also saw three different sea turtle nest marked for their safety and had the date the eggs were laid. #BeachTips

This place has a nice pool and bar.The staff was friendly and helpful. I thought it had a restaurant, but it did not. There was no WiFi. The place is isolated, so bring your own food and beverages, or plan to find elsewhere. Our room was decent, but the toilet was wobbling and we were afraid it would tip over. The decor is 80’s and in need of an upgrade.

Rancho BV is so wonderful! It is one of the oldest properties in Baja! Staff is so kind and helpful — Arturo is MVP! He always had answers to any questions we had, even helped us secure a car to drive around town (his own!). The property is “tired” but very clean and well kept. The “coffee time” restaurant was super cute and delicious (we only had coffee and breakfast, but saw others dining and it looked wonderful, too). The pool and bar is literally right on the beach, so even if the ocean was too chilly to swim you could still enjoy the beach and ocean view from poolside. Location is perfect — very secluded, but only about a 4-5min drive into Los Barriles. Overall, an excellent spot to visit and relax! Thank you Rancho staff for a wonderful trip! 😊

Honestly, unless you are use to the Wild West, isolation and eating at local convenience store Oxxo this is not for the average tourist! It’s in middle of no where, no food available. We are at convenience store. Room is outdated with old ac still in wall, fan was hanging off ceiling and it was uncomfortable bed. If just need a place to crash on route to next destination it is ok for one night, but definitely not a vacation location

Don’t waste your time. This place is a dump. Property is completely worn down. Electrical didn’t work in the room. Toilet was broken. Mosquitoes another flying insects everywhere. We checked out after two hours of checking in and move to a different property.

Horrible

We were told there was a restaurant there and it has none. We were tired from driving and didn’t want to have to go in search of a restaurant (the main reason we chose this place) so false advertising. The place is run down and many vacant rooms. But the main reason we decided to not stay there was upon entering the room, directly outside was a large cockroach and more dead ones on the floor. The room smelled bad. We asked for a refund immediately and we were told they would. But hotels.com subsequently said that they would not refund our money.

Llegamos y no tenían nuestra reservación contemplada. La habitación estaba un poco anticuada pero limpia, el AC hacía mucho ruido y preferimos pender los ventiladores de techo (que también hacían ruido pero un poco menos), no hay televisión en la habitación, solo dejaron amenidades de baño para 1 persona y la reserva era para 3, el personal del bar no es muy servicial teníamos que salir de la alberca e ir por nuestras bebidas nosotros mismos, por el contrario, las chicas del restaurante (las hermanas) eran muy amables y siempre atendían con una sonrisa. Me dedico a la hotelería y sé que con un buen servicio y una habitación limpia y cómoda puedes tener a tus huéspedes felices, sin embargo el hecho de llegar y que no esté nuestra habitación y el mal servicio del personal del bar me dejó un mal sabor de boca. Solo regresaría por la tranquilidad del lugar y la vista que tiene.
