Romantic Getaway


I know lots of places to camp, but I need help finding a sort of romantic getaway. A tiny village, a couple of nice casitas for rent on or vey near the beach, a little restaurant. I mean, a REALLY small place. If anybody knows of anywhere that fits this bill, please post up. It's important. Thanks.

What side of the Baja are you planning to visit? Pacific or Cortez?

'Tiny village' casitas with a restaurant... Bahia de los Angeles, but I think you need Loreto for more romance (although it is no tiny village).

San Ignacio (Casa Leree or Ignacio Springs), but no beach.. just a big pond.

Mulege... a river, no beach there.... But just south is The Lighthouse Resort... Playa Frambes. Wonderful casitas, bed & breakfast, but no sand there... but nearby on Bahia Concepcion.

Todos Santos... again, not a tiny village.

Bahia Asuncion if you guys are into fishing at all... other sea sports too.

The romantic getaways is what we generally look for.

When between Tijuana and Ensenada, I will second bajaguy's Poco Cielo.
The Polynesian room has been our first choice for a long time. If visiting the wine country, Hacienda de Guadalupe is also a superb getaway.
If going to La Paz...Casa Tuscany, and in between is Ignacio Inn B&B in San Ignacio, try to book a yurt next to the river for privacy.
All these places get the romantic juices flowing. Don't forget to bring some ALMENDRADO and the KY!

Punto Chivato? for big bucks and solitude try the old hotel there. or Pam's beach place on VRBO.
if money is no object, charter a plane fly to Punto Pescadero (north of Los Barriles) and stay at the hotel there. absolutely deserted a week ago, and muy romantico.




reality\'s never been of much use out here...

I think Punta Chivato is neat and isolated. It has a couple hotels and restaurants and beaches. On the north side of the point is a really nice beach that you could easily get to and have and nice day all by yourselves. And you could drive to Mulege for the day if you wanted more to do.

If you really don't need an ocean side room, I suggest the Malagon Winery B&B........

Yah, it has been a whole 3 hours since he asked... maybe he is already on his way south?

Baja sure has a lot of options... not sure if 'tiny village' fits, but there are other options... and the Nomads are posting good ideas!

gr8wrk is still alive and well, researching. Think we made a choice. Now, what's the best route from ABQ to Bahía Asunción? Like to cross at Sonoyta or Nogales, but that puts me overnight near the CA border. Not one of my favorite places
.
Thanks a lot for all the choices everyone. A small mind like mine was overwhelmed. I'm always amazed at how much info is out there.

Wow. My vote would have been for the Polynesian room. Much more romantic than anything I have seen pictured of Asuncion!

DK has the maps for that route!
From Sonoyta to Bahia Asunción is a two day drive.
Shari's Rock room is also very romantic:
View from patio next to the room


Very comfy bed in the rock room:
