Paradero Todos Santos

Rooms are great, food is great (the French toast, egg burritos and huevos rancheros were my other go-tos) and the entire staff is top notch. It was clear to us that impeccable service is their key philosophy and it showed from top to bottom.

I’m not sure where to start. Some pros but mostly cons. First off the architecture of this place is phenomenal and beautiful. The vibe is beautiful. Aesthetically everything is perfect but underneath the beauty is straight horror when it comes to the prices, accessibility to everything and overall luxury as advertised. The front of the house staff was a bit cold and I’m not sure why. It was very expensive but extremely hot on this property. Everywhere we turned there were flies. We could not eat breakfast, lunch or dinner without having to fight off a dozen flies. The restaurant was outside and the restaurant staff was frequently drenched in sweat. Not sanitary at all. The menu at the restaurant just wasn’t functional at all. They are in need of variety when it comes to food because the menu was limited and the prices were extremely expensive. The restaurant also had no sodas so a lot of times we went thirsty because all to order was alcohol, mocktails and breakfast juices/coffee. No ginger ale, coke, etc. You will go hungry because many nights I just wanted a snack and all that was available to eat in the middle of the desert was an overpriced Michelin star restaurant. The room was nice but wild life is absolutely everywhere so many times when I had to request for clean up services they would come and clean and leave the door wide open in the desert. Very weird. Housekeeping forgot towels after taking our towels. No TV. No Ac in the restroom so again where there’s heat will be flies. I didn’t feel clean or well rested. No good way to get around the property besides walking so ladies don’t waste your time dressing up because you will have to walk a lot depending on where you’re going. They charged us for everything. Taxis was at least 70 dollars to take us 3 miles up the road. They also charged us aside for the taxi but the parking fee for each place they took us. I planned this trip for my bday. Not once was my bday acknowledged and I made sure to tell them this during booking when it was asked. Nothing was done. Not even a free dessert. Spa was 500 for 2 deep tissue massages which is very overpriced. Plus they charged a hidden fee that was hundreds of dollars for a city fee for all massages and spa. Not one time did they explain getting a massage would result in having to pay extra. This is unacceptable. I asked for spa menus in advance and nothing was mentioned about a spa fee. They also charged tip fees for the included experiences they offered being advertised as free. Nothing was free. Again there were so many flies it was ridiculous and I’m not even joking when I say this. Transport vehicles should be luxury for the amount being charged. Room doors come with a crack in them so lizards will get in your room or something worst. The beach experience included pistachios and cheap wine. I was told the sunset beach experience would include light meals…not nuts and wine. We were very hungry and this another way they get you to purchase the expensive food on site. Ice cream was on my breakfast French toast so it melted insanely fast in the desert heat. Ice cream should not be on breakfast French toast. Guac didn’t have a speck of salt…very bland. Crab taco was drenched in green mayo so you couldn’t taste the taco very well. The room i purchased had on the site that complimentary breakfast was included yet that wasn’t the case. I was charged for breakfast. Overall i wouldn’t recommend this hotel. Nothing luxury about taking a shower in a restroom with no AC. Nothing luxury about fighting flies in the restroom or during dinner. They kept bringing free baby corn to the point where we stopped eating it because it was just repetitive. I’m not happy that I paid the amount I paid for the experience we received. I simply want my money back. Please don’t stay here. It’s similar to jail

The entire experience from checkin to ordering coffee is immaculate. The staff is incredible and the activities are top notch.

🌿 A Sacred Escape for the Soul — Our 28th Anniversary at Paradero Was Pure Magic 🌿 From the moment we stepped onto the sun-drenched grounds of Paradero Boutique Hotel, we knew this was not going to be your typical anniversary trip — it was an experience, a feeling, a slow-burning love letter to Baja, to intentional living, and to us. We came to Todos Santos to celebrate 28 years of marriage, and Paradero exceeded every expectation with a level of detail, ambiance, and soul that felt almost ceremonial. 🌅 Design + Desert Zen Paradero isn’t a hotel — it’s a sanctuary carved from the desert, kissed by the ocean breeze, and curated with breathtaking simplicity. Every line, every shadow, every texture in this space feels like a love song to architecture and the natural world. The Earth Suites with outdoor soaking tubs gave us the perfect front-row seat to the sunrise (and each other). Every morning began with quiet awe. 🍴 Farm-to-Soul Cuisine The food? Next level. Every dish — from the fire-roasted octopus to the hand-pressed tortillas with heirloom corn — was grounded, flavorful, and nourishing in a way that felt deeply connected to the land. We toasted our love under string lights and stars, the mezcal flowing freely and the conversation even more so. 💆🏽‍♀️ Wellness, Redefined The spa treatments under open skies, the sound baths, the slow movement yoga — all orchestrated to help us reconnect not just with each other, but with ourselves. The Temazcal experience was the emotional reset we didn’t even know we needed. It felt ancestral, profound, and healing. 🌵 People Who Just “Get It” Every team member, from the groundskeepers to the mixologists, carried an energy of genuine hospitality. There were no robotic scripts — just real people, offering real joy. Special shoutout to the concierge team, who orchestrated a private sunset picnic in the dunes that literally moved us to tears. Yes, we cried in the sand — it was that beautiful. ✨ 28 Years In, and Still Discovering Magic We travel often, but few places have felt as intentionally sacred as Paradero. It gave us space to reflect, to play, to laugh, and to fall in love all over again — not just with each other, but with life itself. If you’re looking to celebrate something meaningful — or just want to remember what meaning feels like — this is the place. Bring your whole self. Leave your expectations. And prepare to be transformed. We will absolutely return — perhaps for year 30. Or sooner. 🖤 With gratitude, Kevin & Wendi Washington, DC #28YearsStrong #ParaderoMagic #TodosSantos #SlowLiving #LuxuryWithSoul

Its an amazing place to disconnect. Close to Todos Santos town so you can go explore. But, trust me, once you're inside Paradero, you want to stay in Paradero. They also have a lot of activities to do during your stay, so you never get bored.
