On my boat at Marina Costa Baja. Nice & clean surroundings, cooler than in town, and the islands are quicker to get to.

Hotel Gardenias
Aquiles Serdan y V. Guerrero
La Paz
phone: 612-122-30-88
email: www.hotelgardenias.com.mx
Mexican owned, clean and affordable, air cond, swimming pool, mattresses/pillows all new last year, reasonably secure parking, very very nice folks.
Highly recommended.
Oh yeah - word to the wise: do not eat there... won't poison you or anything, just not good. Walk a coupla blocks to the downtown/malecon area for
some really good food.

Wherever you decide on I would make sure it is NOT on the Malecon. Definitely there is an increase in trafficon weekend evenings but it seems every
night is cruise night on the Malecon.

High end-- Los Arcos, Cabanas section (losarcos.com)
Low end-- Lorimar, a block uphill from Appleby's on the malecon. No frills, clean Still $35 per night as far as I know.
Slightly bizarre and very cheap-- Hotel Pekin, a ways north on the malecon.

Paula's choice, Cabanas de Los Arcos, is a good one. Pretty much in the heart of town with nice grounds, Easy walking to everywhere downtown. For
years now, we have been staying at the El Moro, a small motel on the end of the Malecon. Beautiful grounds and good restaurant for breakfast and
lunch. Used to be reasonable ,but prices have gone up the last few years. But a nice place if you're not too budget minded. Our favorite by far.

I think I am in the minority, but I prefer the main building of Los Arcos to the cabanas. A few years ago we rented one of the condominiums in the
tower at La Concha for a week, it was spectacular. For double bizarre, the Yeneka on Calle Madero in town. ++Ken++
PS we like El Moro also, used to be one of the best restaurants in town.
PSPS speaking of restaurants, anybody been to La Pazta recently? Reviews?

That would be Hotel Gardenias... $40/nite for one... $42 for two... $45 for the family.
Get a top floor room - either end but facing the water. You get the breeze. And they'll give you limitless towels for the beach or pool without
making you slit a vein and sign in blood to return them.

Ken - It's been perhaps 10 months since I've eaten at La Pazta. The food was exactly as good as always and the service excellent.

Yeah, I second Club Marlin. They also have a couple of separate studio-type places that they rent to folks with pets. Reasonable prices, too. Like
Bob and Susan said, the food is yum! - and they make a great salad.

I cast another vote for Cabanas de los Arcos----------and I do not consider it "high end" tho-------never paid more than $80 a night for your own casa
with fireplace and pool beside it. Stayed there many, many times over the years.

I'm obviously in the minority here but I like La Concha, simply for its pretty little beach. It's a classic Mexican beach hotel. The food isn't
remarkable, but breakfast buffet outdoors next to the pool is nice.
