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. Why October? Well, by then the hurricane season should be over, the summer scorch has moderated and the water’s still plenty warm enough for snorkeling.
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.
The people who run?this quaint little hotel?seem generally happy to be your hosts. They helped us with where to go and how to get there and welcomed us back when we returned. They have internet access, which is great for weather reports and world news, happily accept major credit cards and communication was not a problem. The other guests we encountered were an eclectic mix of travelers from all around the globe. Ironically, I shared coffee one morning with a? man who’s daughter lives in my hometown.
As a bonus, part of the downstairs is occupied by an outfitter, Mar Y Adventuras, which means Sea and Adventure. These local guides can hook you up with everything you need for a sea kayak and/or snorkeling trip into the Sea of Cortez. You can hire a very knowledgable?native guide or go on your own for an afternoon or a week or anything in between.
