Loreto-The Inn At Loreto Bay
I just wanted to comment on our recent two day stay at the Inn. This hotel is located approx 7 miles north of Loreto. We paid $250ish for a very nice
room. We were fairly pleased with the hotel overall. Our biggest beef is with the horrible parking situation. There is practically none. I drove my
vehicle from Los Angeles and upon arriving had practically nowhere to park it. Was not pleased. Also, the drive from town to the hotel sucked. The
last mile or so is a winding drive through a construction zone. I expected to find a nail in my tire each morning but thankfully that never happened.
The restaurant was very nice, prices were reasonable (atleast to me). The food was decent but having spent 6 years eating military food, I am not a
picky eater. The pool and poolside restaurant were well run and very clean. With the exception of a few smug Euros, everyone seem content and festive.
I would stay here again ONLY if I did not have my own vehicle and intended to spend more time at the hotel..which we did not. ...

two hundred fifty dollars a night??!! are you serious? for a nice room?
you can stay in town at the posada de las flores for that kind of jack, parked once and been able to walk all over town centro for bars and food.
and i thought the Oasis was getting pricey at $100 a nite.
sorry.....i am cheap in my old age i guess. $30 a nite huts at San Francisquito is about my speed anymore.

other options. Always good to have other options!

$250 pesos, right? Not USD.

F*ck it.

For future trips to Loreto, you can stay at Las Cabaņas de Loreto or Cocos Cabaņas for less than $100 a day and have a nice place to stay with a pool,
a block from a beach and within easy walking distance of a lot of good food. Do a google search or a trip advisor search and you'll find lots better
places to stay that are actually in Loreto. If you go to VRBO you can find other rentals that offer way more in value than the Inn at Loreto Bay.
$250 a day to stay in the sterile atmosphere of the Inn at Loreto Bay doesn't seem much like being pampered to me.

I don't go into Nordstroms...but she do..
Agreed Elizabeth. BUT she agreed to go fishing and I tried to reciprocate. And she did a good job. I am trying to be nice but the Inn did not impress
either one of us. She is used to nice but can also do the fishing thing. We know what nice is but do not like to waste money. Hey, it was an
experience.
Where were you guys 6 months ago when I was asking for the very same advice?
I am not a Trip Advisor fan. I would rather get feedback from Nomad. I have had my posts on Advisor edited..don't trust it!

Gimme a break. I am a Southern hick who likes to fish. Don't I get any credit for trying? ....

Jarahurd..... Loreto Bay, along with the Inn, is the blight to the south of Loreto, not north.

I wasn't intending to criticize...I was offering good (from my point of view) choices for the future...and, I'm sorry but I didn't see your request
for advice 6 months ago. Would just like to see you try something better in a town that I really like.

No, I appreciate your input Elizabeth. Trust me, I am taking notes and next year when I book a fishing trip, I will take your input under
consideration. Now I know about the Inn..It was NOT terrible, however,,..just a bit of a pain with the parking and construction.

las Cabanas -- the best
I second Las Cabanas in Loreto. Homey, wifi, secure. You'll like it.

I've stayed for around $120 a night, but never $250! Posada de las Flores was around $150 and I really enjoyed. Can also walk to restaurants and bars
from there.

Out in the desert? Why so far north of Loreto... with the rest of Loreto Bay being a few miles south of Loreto?
I bet you meant south of Loreto...
Seriously, $250 per night, in Baja... meals and drinks included... and full spa too?

First time visitor in Loreto, got my geography turned around. But based on my research at the time, I came up with no other places that were in
between lower end and the upper end that is the Inn. Besides, I wanted my wife to have access to a spa to have her nails and hair done, etc. She is
very patient with me and very deserving of stuff like that. Also, I did visit Trip Advisor but I do not trust that site as they have HEAVILY EDITED my
posts there. Nomad is awesome but I did not get a lot of feedback on places to stay in Loreto. I will keep this thread and use it for my next visit.
The only thing I know for sure is what outfit I will use to arrange a fishing trip! ...

Jara, your wife can get a very nice shampoo and style,manicure, pedicure, facial and massage at Norma's salon right downtown in Loreto. It's one
block from Posada de las Flores, and not much farther from Cabanas de Loreto. English is spoken there so it is easy to make an appointment. The
decor is very nice, as good a salon as you'll find anywhere.
Hotelwise, I'd chose Cabanas de Loreto-- definitely fit for a queen, or anyone who enjoys a nice hotel

You will be pleasantly surprised. This newly redone hotel is now, by far, the fanciest place in Loreto. Beats the Loreto Bay Inn hands down.
Beautifully done. And all this in the best location possible. Haven't seen the rooms, but if they are anything like the rest of the place, like dining
room, bar ,swimming pool, terraces etc, you will not be disappointed. However, still not completely finished at this moment, with a lot of detailing
to be done yet. No doubt this will be "THE IN SPOT" in the future.
