We booked Casa Al Mar in a "Suite Al Patio Doble" room for four nights on our most recent visit to…read moreLa Paz. Prior to our arrival, we accepted the hotel's offer to pick us up at the airport. The cost was 380 pesos. The hotel manager, (yes the manager), ALEXIA, arrived on time and was professional and friendly. We arrived at the hotel in the evening, and our room was ready. This boutique hotel's location on the Malecon is perfect. In addition, the hotel's entrance is really nice with a boho chic vibe. Our room, Unit 1, was about 900 square feet with two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, dining room, and kitchen. This room did not have a view of the ocean (we booked late in the game). Upon first entering the room, it looked really nice; also decorated in a boho chic vibe. There are a lot of steps inside this room. For example, the living area is sunken from the entrance and the kitchen is sunken from the living room. The same thing occurs upstairs to the bedrooms and bathroom. People with mobility issues or children might want to consider other hotel options. Regarding the condition of the unit, it was good. The kitchen was fully outfitted for cooking, and the appliances were in new condition. We did have an issue with the safe, as it was not secured to the wall. It appeared it had been pulled away from the wall for some reason because the holes in the wall were visible. We reported the issue, and they secured the safe the following day. We also had an issue with hot water in the shower and sink. It was somewhat hit or miss; not a huge issue for us. WIFI in the room interacting with the smart TV was troublesome at times. There is no pool at this hotel. In room massage services are available for $90 per hour. Regarding the service, it was fantastic (FIVE STARS). In addition to picking us up at the airport, ALEXIA helped arrange excursions including a beach tour and sand boarding adventure for a really great price. In addition to ALEXIA, all of the staff members were friendly and professional including FRIEDA, CONCEPCION, and PRICILLA. Overall, we had a great experience at Casa Al Mar with only a coupe of minor room issues; one of which we reported, and they handled it right away. Booking in advance for a balcony room with an ocean view is recommended.

First day arriving and not a good start. August 15th 2023- No one to greet us and explain the…read moreproperty. I was told to go to the bar and Elisa would check us in. Back history - we got the Poseidon room 11 most likely the most expensive about $415 a night and we were excited to start our vacation with a great view in luxury. Not at all luxury and more like a bad Airbnb experience, let me explain below in details. By the way I complained to the manager via WhatsApp since that was the form of communication, ***and read to the end to hear the excuses from all of these issue outlined below We spoke to Elisa and right away was charged the 50% remaining fee upfront? Would think this is done at check out but ok. Then here is our experience: 1. Entered the room it was literally 90+ degrees. I told the manager prior I would be there at 3pm and then before that time I was running late and would be there at 5:30. You would think the room would be nice an chilled since we traveled over 2 hours to get to this location. Maybe some water or something as a customary gesture... no crickets 2. The door is digital, would not lock after we enter asked Elisa to let us know, she didn't know we eventually figured it out on our own but it meant that one of us had to stay behind since we couldn't lock it. So far wasting our vacation to figure something so simple not even the bar tender would know.... 3. The fire pit on the balcony which is one of the amenities of the room wouldn't start and asked Elisa and of course didn't know. 4. The bed for our son was not made and no sheets or pillows. It was clear it was three of us and we would not fit on one bed.... 5. They brought us a fan since after 3 hours still not. The fan was disgusting!!! Dust all of it like in a kitchen with grease...Don't understand what kind of customer service this establishment thinks is a standard. 6. Salamander in our room they said it's normal so I guess we deal with it and let it sleep with us. 7. No toiletries, we didn't see any in the cubby of the shower but then later on was told it was there all along. When I spoke to the manager he said that they can't have the air conditioner running because this area has electric issues so they don't want to consume the energy and thankful that they have it.... As if saying I was a spoiled brat and should know that having it on all day was selfish. Hay I'm paying like $500 a night and the most expensive room so maybe I should get the best treatment or service that they can offer. The bartender at night was the nicest and polite person their and was able to order food before they closed. The good things about this place was that they offered a place to eat when there really wasn't a lot in the area. The free breakfast was not really anything - black coffee ( had to ask for milk as if it was too much to give me for my coffee) and some cereal kids boxes were left around. To get to beach, you have to walk down a bit so if you are not a hiker don't bother since it is not handicap friendly- not an issue for us but could see a problem for older people. The jacuzzi at night was not working - they were going I turn it on but heard some linking noises when they tried and the manager came back and said it's the summer they don't usually have this on... guess no jacuzzi under the stars. They didn't turn in the fire pit and the bartender delivered our drinks before our meal which was nice. Think the bartender at least helped the situation a little since the manager at night was horrible. You know when someone talks to you and the thing is they don't apologize at all or accept that the service is bad and here is what they would do... One last thing - why give me a menu showing Mexican prices and then charge me at the end US DOLLARS?? Think this I a bit illegal and taking advantage since then they also take the currency in MEXICAN and convert it back which makes it almost extra charge... they did the same thing with the remains 50% hotel fee, it was cheaper when I didn't it online. Something not right here, Never again! Let me be clear if I got a small normal room I would say who cares deal with it at least it has a good view, etc but for what I rented it was the highest amount and was treated poorly.

Casa Xochitl The short version of my review is that Casa…read moreXochitl is gorgeous magical property with clean, comfortable, well appointed, spacious rooms. The breakfast was delicious, healthy and varied every day. There was more than plenty to eat and delicious coffee. The host, Dan, is a very friendly guy who is knowledgeable about the area and keeps a low profile. The location is perfect for visitors to El Crntenario or a short drive if you want to stay in a quiet place just outside of La Paz. I highly recommend Casa Xochitl for visitors looking for tranquility and comfort! If you want to read a more detailed review, please read on. I felt like Dan and his beautiful casa deserved more than compact commentary. It was warm, late and dark when I entered the gates of Casa Xochitl for the first time. The gardens twinkled with little lights and I got my first feelings of what a special place I was entering. My host, Dan, was cool & kind and took his time to show me around my room even though I had checked in after his bed time. He reminded me of the old beach bums back home; with his white hair, flip flops, easy vibe and permanent tan. He was clearly a hard working dude, to be able to manage and maintain that gorgeous and complex property on his own. He was unobtrusive but happy to answer my questions and proved to be an amazing chef. I booked the dome room just for the open air shower and I was not disappointed. It was like having my own private casita - A beautiful brick building with pleasing decor reflective of the local culture. The bed was cool and comfortable, as was the temperature controlled room. A noise machine and charging station were provided at the head of the bed. A guest robe, drinking water, and pool towels were also supplied in the room. The spacious bathroom was nicely stocked and the towels were large, thick, and soft. There was a warning against flushing paper due to being at sea level but the toilet had a bidet and a comfortable alternative to flushing paper. I was pleasantly surprised by the size and appointments of the room. The place was spotless and all of the linens smelled crisply fresh. I did see a little lizard squiggle up the wall behind my suitcase on my last morning but no bugs in the four nights of my stay and the lizard was clean. I woke up at 5:30am the first morning and when I opened the front door of my room to look out at the grounds, I felt like Dorothy! The sun was starting to get ready; warming the colorful flower petals and cacti. The birds were in full song, a gentle breeze rustled through the tall palms, and the water from a nearby fountain trickled through the rocks. I was waiting for a Mexican Munchkin to pop out from behind the colorful bush on the other side of the gravel path. This was the way to start a day! I sat upon the blue bench on my private porch at length; sipping my coffee and combing my bare toes up and down the back of the sweetest resident dog who was snuggled at my feet. She would not give me her ball! My daily breakfast was delicious, nutritious, and abundant. Each day was a different dish featuring local specialties and the host's extra touches like breakfast tostada with pickled onions, tamales, quesadillas, scrambled eggs, chorizo, an array of fresh fruit, yogurt, coconut chia pudding, granola, juices and excellent coffee. The host's kitchen and the breakfast area were at the front of the villa so the vibe was open and welcoming. A large wood table and chairs flagged by a shell & cactus garden and a whispering water fixture made up the lower level. There was also a sun deck above with tables and chairs for early morning or evening views. Behind my room was a cute cantina-style outdoor community kitchen/dining area with a grass roof. Guests were allowed to put our own food and drinks in the fridge and use the microwave. There was a large dining table with chairs and a hammock to make another perfect hang out area. The dip pool area was hidden behind a large lemon tree, beyond the cantina and the host's house. It was small and perfect for cooling off from a hot day. The only head's-up that I would give to other visitors who don't have strong legs is that the steps leading up to the pool and the first few steps leading up to the roof top areas are tall and there are no hand rails and nothing to hold on to. I have bad knees and did not attempt either since I had nothing to hold on to. The metal stairs up to the roof have hand rails but you must climb a few stairs without handrails first. This is not a complaint, just a consideration for other travelers who might have physical limitations similar to mine. I was visiting friends in El Centenario, so the location was perfect for me. La Paz Is about a 12-minute drive away. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe at all times. I was excited to share my experience to hopefully encourage another traveler to experience the magic of Casa Xochitl.

Any issue we had was always quickly responded to. Every room has a small balcony overlooking the beach, a refrigerator, tv, and great air conditioning. This place is not super fancy but has a great beach vibe. The pool was cool and refreshing and the beach was wonderful. It is very close to some gorgeous beaches like Balandras and tecolote. A short drive to the malecon and along with the restaurant here on the beach, had another great restaurant right next door, the seaside restaurant. I would definitely recommend staying here if you just want a simple relaxing vacation.

The food and drinks is actually pretty good and not too expensive, very reasonable prices.

If you're looking for more, extra or wow factor, then try and vacation where the stars are and stay at the Ritz Carlton. The bad is they don't have any gym equipment and the parking lot is limited parking, locals park there to because they have a public beach entrance next to the resort.

This review is for the Malecon H Blue Hotel. I would give negative stars if I could. This hotel is…read morenot finished and NOT SAFE. Room keys regularly fail for doors and elevators. Hot water failure in many rooms, the flippant receptionist was argumentative about it being already fixed. Restaurant menu other than breakfast is flavorless, overpriced, takes over 90 minutes to prepare, and kitchen staff are not ready to work at times. There is a sliding door main entrance with faulty sensors. It banged into my mother's arm as she tried to enter the hotel, bruising her badly. It also hit my grandson's head. If you have little kids, elderly folks, are differently abled, this double set of quick-closing glass doors is hazardous. I saw several guests get hit by it daily on my 5 day stay. There is an open landfill full of hazardous materials from the ongoing construction of this unfinished building right on the side of the building! This includes rusty iron rebar, twisted metal, splintery scrap lumber strewn about in huge piles, cinderblocks, huge concrete tubes... in a big giant pit, open and accessible right by the parking lot. It occupies the whole side of the building, also ruining the ocean view from the rooms. There are no safety barriers marking this area, so keep your kiddos away from that! Shower doors are not installed properly. One guest in our party had the glass shower door fall on his head, shatter, and cut open his foot. ...And this is the worst part; the staff lied and covered it up. The hotel receptionist was first on the scene to give 1st aid. She claimed the laceration from the shattered glass shower door was nothing, and did not need stitches. It ended up needing 6 sutures. Our group was in shock, but we were rushed off to a SMALLER room so they could clean up the shattered glass and spilled blood and claim it never happened. Then the manager got a personal friend ("doctor"). This loser took over 2 hours to arrive (the manager who called him said we should have gone to the hospital after he called his buddy). The doctor's examination for concussion symptoms was a 2 second glance for alertness... that's it! This patient later went home and was treated for a concussion which was never entered on the hotel "doctor's" eval. -the "doctor" gave his foot a shot of anesthesia, then realized he did not have the right supplies in his bag to give the stitches, so they had to go to the hospital. He did say the patient shouldn't walk for a week, which the hotel manager denied. When we demanded a solution, they gave us an insurance form and a promise for reimbursement to get us to leave. After a week of speaking to their Mexican insurance company, and Expedia... there is no solution in sight. Sneaky, deceptive, bad people running a dangerous place. DO NOT STAY HERE! Esta reseña es sobre el hotel Malecon H Blue. Le daría una calificación de estrellas negativas si pudiera. Este hotel no está terminado y NO es seguro. Las llaves de las habitaciones fallan con frecuencia tanto en las puertas como en los ascensores. El suministro de agua caliente falla en muchas habitaciones; la recepcionista, con una actitud displicente, se mostró discutidora al afirmar que el problema ya había sido solucionado. El menú del restaurante --a excepción del desayuno-- carece de sabor, es excesivamente caro, tardan más de 90 minutos en prepararlo y, en ocasiones, el personal de cocina no está listo para trabajar. La entrada principal cuenta con puertas correderas cuyos sensores funcionan de manera defectuosa. Una de ellas golpeó el brazo de mi madre cuando intentaba entrar al hotel, provocándole un hematoma severo. También golpeó la cabeza de mi nieto. Si viaja con niños pequeños, personas mayores o personas con movilidad reducida, este doble juego de puertas de cristal de cierre rápido representa un peligro. Durante mi estancia de cinco días, vi a varios huéspedes ser golpeados por ellas a diario. ¡Justo a un costado del edificio hay un vertedero al aire libre repleto de materiales peligrosos provenientes de la construcción en curso de este edificio inconcluso! Esto incluye varillas de hierro oxidadas, metales retorcidos, restos de madera astillada esparcidos en enormes pilas, bloques de hormigón, tubos de concreto gigantes... todo ello dentro de una enorme fosa abierta y accesible, situada justo al lado del estacionamiento. Ocupa todo el lateral del edificio, arruinando además la vista al mar desde las habitaciones. No existen barreras de seguridad que delimiten esta zona, ¡así que mantengan a sus niños alejados de allí! Las puertas de las duchas no están instaladas correctamente. A uno de los huéspedes de nuestro grupo se le cayó encima la puerta de cristal de la ducha; esta se hizo añicos y le provocó un corte profundo en el pie. ...Y esta es la peor parte: el personal mintió e intentó encubrir el incidente. La recepcionista del hotel fue la primera en llegar al lugar para prestar primeros auxilios. (hay mas...)

I booked 4 superior rooms. My nephew was in the shower when the glass door collapsed hitting him on the head and causing concussion and laceration to his foot. The staff downplayed the incident saying he was ok and that they would have their doctor come and treat him. Meanwhile they rushed to clean the evidence. The receptionist Joanna, gave first aid saying that he didn't need stitches as he was no longer bleeding, but he was. Two hours later the Dr showed up, same story, nothing wrong he'll be ok but he does need stitches and he won't be able to work for 1 week. He injected the anesthetic but had to drive him to a nearby clinic because he had no tools to stitch him up. This happened Thursday night 3/26. They were downsized to another room because "They didn't have any other rooms". It's Sunday 3/29 and still no incident report from the manager Ruben and no doctor note or assessment has been received. This experience has been a nightmare to say the least! I asked for a refund for that room and the manager said that in any case I would have to pay them for the damaged door!!! What a terrible thing to say!
