Enjoyed our stay with a few exceptions… room located backed up to boat launch and tractor started at 6am every morning. Food choices limited and pricey. Bar tender spoke zero English. Hot tub was either 112 degrees or 90 bubbles never worked. No refrigerator or microwave in room. Bbq outside was $38 per day use. Freedom in surroundings fantastic.

The resort was right on the beach which was lovely. The restaurant served really delicious food. The resort itself is quite outdated and not as fun if you’re staying for a while.

Extremely old and rundown. Filthy room. Zombies for employees. We expected less than perfect, but this was a new level of disappointment. Barstaff and waitstaff spent most of their time staring into computer screens. No customer service skills at all.The food was awful. There was no comfort to be had anywhere. The mattress had to be at least 20 years old and hard as cement. Bathroom was so small, miniature toilet and shower. No TV and no usable furniture. The grounds were so neglected, pool was unusable. It was rotted and missing thousands of tiles. It was so sad to see. It must have been beautiful at one time. There was no fishing available. It looked like a boat junk yard and no one would answer my question of when was the last time a boat was actually launched there. We planned to stay for 5 nights but left after 1 sleepless night and burned another day traveling to another location. We had been looking forward to visiting this resort for many years, but it was just to uncomfortable to stay.

Pleasant Place to Chill
Taco Tuesday was excellent! And the staff brought me a sandwich/chips/apple at 5 am so I could have some food on a day with an early start. The grounds are impressive and expansive, the beach quite pleasant. Rooms are nicely decorated, but a bit cramped if two are staying in a room and you have a fair bit of luggage.

quiet BEAUTIFUL resort
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. Will be my "go to" spot from now on. It's not a high-rise super luxury hotel, but a BEAUTIFUL resort with a WONDERFUL pool, and a HOT TUB fed by natural hot springs. Then there's your own private beach from which we saw whales just sitting there. And the food was amazing. The locals even come for the food it's so good. Just 2 mins outside of downtown Los Barriles means it's super QUIET but loads to do like pickle-ball, pool, ping-pong, yoga and cooking classes, and massages. Thank you Buena Vista! We'll be back!

Is the location and the grounds were phenomenal. Rooms were very dated looks like nineteen seventies or eighties. Definitely not wheelchair accessible. No television But the beach and grounds were Phenomenal. We stayed only one night on our way to La Paz. Did not try the internet. Overall, we're happy we stopped here. No TV's in the room.

Power was out at the resort for 1/2 of a day. I understand things can happen, but this was highly inconvenient for my short stay there. Also, WiFi was terrible/non-existent (even when power was on). I later learned at checkout you can get a room wifi repeater. This was not mentioned during check-in. As a traveling working professional, stable power and wifi is essentials.

Beds were comfortable and location on the beach is great. We had a hammock right outside our patio door. However, the bathroom needed lots of love and the hotel restaurant, while it served good food, was quite expensive.

The hotel is definitely a bit dated but it is clean and funky. The restaurant is absolutely fantastic (don’t miss Taco Tuesday!!) but every meal was yummy and good value! The beach is lovely and the hot spring spa pool is to die for— just be sure to check the schedule so you know when it is really hot from the refilling. The people who stayed here were also great and a fun vibe and the locals come to eat so you get a great mix of people. The staff was nice and friendly and they even have happy hour! They provide fresh spring water so you don’t have to buy it all the time!! Didn’t play pickleball here but the courts were new and in good shape— unfortunately they do charge you to play. Overall a really great place and value for the money!
