My Favorite: La Paz Mexico Hotel

As far as I can figure out, Posada LunaSol means “guest house of the moon and sun”. I enjoyed several nights there while traveling around the lower Baja Peninsula and plan to visit again in October.

But back to Posada LunaSol. This is the type of place you’ll want to stay if you’re a bit adventurous and want to really experience Baja, rather than stay in a cookie cutter resort that caters to US tourists. It’s not cheap, but it is reasonably-priced. It’s tucked away in a quiet residential area, but is just a short walk to the beaches and downtown. It’s colorful, for sure, and clean and well-kept. There’s a little open air?kitchen with a sink, fridge and stove where you can prepare simple meals and snacks. The best feature, however, is the spacious rooftop palapa with shade, lounge chairs and cool sea breezes for those lazy afternoons when it’s too hot to move.
