Desierto Azul

This place is truly amazing, the staff were lovely and helpful. Nothing was too much bother, Jose, the manager is a wealth of information about Todos Santos. The pool is incredible, the rooms super comfortable and just a joy to be in. I would definitely recommend this place, stunning!

We booked Desierto Azul 6 months in advance as part of our honeymoon trip. The aim was to stay somewhere for a week, and totally relax, having spent the previous 2 weeks sightseeing and exploring elsewhere. Well, we can confidently that say this hotel ticked all the boxes for us. The room was spacious and relevant amenities were provided. The bed was HUGE, and it was such a pleasure to be gradually woken up each morning by the birds and the morning sun peeking through the curtains. This positively added to the feeling of connecting with nature in the desert. The staff were first class. Jose being so knowledgeable and friendly, giving us the feeling that we were at home, as opposed to staying at a soulless hotel. This hotel has character, soul and the staff truly bring this to life. The other members of staff also fulfilled their roles with the same personal touch that absolutely justified our decision to stay in this tranquil boutique hotel. With only 4 rooms at the hotel, it means you generally get to enjoy the breakfast area and pool to yourself. Additionally adding to the feeling of being a home. You can be confident in enjoying the pool in peace, to relax and unwind! The breakfast is filling and healthy, where you help yourself to toast, condiments, fruits, granola and yoghurt, whilst Martha also makes a stunning avocado on toast, Mexican style. It was so good that we ate it every day! Overall, if you are after a ‘boutique hotel’ experience, such as a true personal touch, homely environment, and relaxing atmosphere, then we believe it’s a no-brainer to stay here. We discovered the best local beaches, restaurants and bars through the staff’s tips, and we enjoyed our morning and evening chats with them. It’s worth mentioning that you’ll need to have a car, as whilst restaurants are within walking distance, it’s not advised to walk after sunset. There are no pavements or lights on the roads.

We have now had two visits to Desierto Azul, and each time has been a lovely decompress into the Baja desert, a place allowing us to rest and chill, to sit and gaze off at the mountains, the cactus garden, or the stars and moon. It is also very convenient to both Todos Santos, the town, and to the surrounding countryside where we could get off for desert hikes. The owners and staff are most lovely, and kind, and there to accommodate our every need. The morning breakfast, lovingly prepared by Marta, was fresh and so very healthy, with fresh bread and locally made granola, and freshly prepared juices and strong, dark coffee (or, a mellow tea). We've had two different rooms there (there are only 4!), and they were idyllically positioned such that you can see the sun in the morning from your bed, and provide a lovely serene setting to aide and abet your stay. We will be back...

My stay at Desierto Azul exceeded my expectations! My bf and I had the most incredible vacation staying at this beautiful and tranquil property. From the attention to detail to the management (Jose!!!!) to the delicious breakfast and cocktails we were blown away! I cannot wait to book my next trip here. It’s officially my happy place :)

My daughter and I couldn’t find a better place to stay. Desierto Azul is an excellent place to relax and enjoy. Amazing service and delicious breakfast. Best avocado toast, natural juice pressed at the moment. Simple a wonderful place to stay.

I traveled to Todos Santos alone to unwind and couldn't have asked for a better exerience. I stayed at Desierto Azul for five nights and was seriously considering extending my trip just to stay there longer. I don't typically write reviews, but this place is too special not to share. The property: the owners did an incredible job creating a tranquil and beautiful home-away-from-home. The grounds are gorgeous; the pool is sublime; the rooms are tasteful, comfortable, and spacious. I'm a designer with a discerning eye, and I can assure you there was not a detail unconsidered. Truly everything about this property is delightful: the colorful tile, the poured concrete floors and inset nooks and shelves, the soft orangic linen curatins and bedding, the ceramic and enamel serveware, the landscaping and stone-lined curving walkways, even the curtain rods and railings they've made from natural, perfectly imperfect wood. The eco consciousness: If this is not your thing, then no problem, you'll stay in a beautiful hotelito and won't feel like you are compromising any luxury. If this IS your thing, it is such a treat to notice how little waste is generated. From the reusable coffee carafe and filter, to the little mini bar treats that come in refillable jars, to the fact that – OMG – i didn't have to buy a single plastic bottle of water my entire stay. Bring a big reusable bottle and have a constant supply of delicious filtered water with you at all times. The hospitality: I wasn't prepared for just how comfortable and taken care of I was going to feel here. Jose, the manager, is a sparkling gem of a human – with eyes to match. He made me laugh daily, anticipated my needs, provided thoughtful recommendations, and talked to me (and everyone else staying there) like friends. I spent less time with Fabrizio and Nilu, but they are equally kind and quick to offer help. Their creativity can be found everywhere you look, and every few days you encounter one of their adorable and well-mannered daughters. They have done such a wonderful job creating a space that feels like home – the home of my Baja dreams. The location: I really loved being a little outside of "town." I would recommend having a car. There is just so much to see and enjoy when you can easily get yourself around – and it is truly easy to get around this area. The restaurants in Las Tunas (just a couple minutes from the hotel) are excellent and the vibe is so relaxed and desert-beachy. You can get into Todos Santos in less than 10 minutes for shops and more (great) restaurants, and to any number of local beaches in two to 20 minutes. I went to a new beach everyday – they're all unique and offer a little something different. The hotel itself sits in a tranquil little cactus field and is so quiet and mellow. I would leave my doors open (screens closed) in the evenings and mainly heard the chirp of insects. I could keep going, but this is probably enough :) Do yourself a favor and stay at this dream
