The old Danzante buildings are still there, but they are dwarfed by the Villas del Palmar at Ensenada Blanca. The Danzante was "off the grid" and
super cool in it's time. (which didn't last that long!) The actual buildings are intact, built into a beautiful mountainside and are now satellite
buildings for the Villas Resort.
The place isn't too big...(yet!) They are currently constructing a golf course, and 100 custom home sites above the resort....
The lucky owners of Danzante sold to the Villa group, cashed out and good for them. The new resort is quite tasteful...I was there last week with
family and the food was great, the pool clean and refreshing..it was 104 degrees that day! We paid $69.00 to use the resort for the day, including all
drinks and food, pool, Jacuzzi, gym and beachfront. Not bad. The only hassle was the road construction that holds traffic up for 50 minutes every
hour.
We had the chocolate clams two ways, shrimp c-cktails, shrimp ceviche, chips and guacamole and chipotle chicken wings, plus limonadas, pina coladas
and beer
The resort is beautifully landscaped, and the bay is stunning...a group of 60+ foot cruisers were hanging out.....
I was impressed with the landscape and the care that went into the construction and design...the Spanish have good taste!!!
The old Danzante building are to the right and the Villas del Palmar to the left, the location is spectacular
We guessed that these cruisers were travelling together
Blanca, the next time you come thru Loreto, check it out. You'll like it.

I stayed when it was open, a fantastic place and the owners ran it very well. Set up on the hill with views of the sea in front and incredible
mountain views in back. It was pricey, and included upscale meals and margarita happy hour.
This location is one of my favorite in Baja. I have not been back since the new building, the pictures look nice. Thanks for sharing. Chocolate clams
look great!
