I wouldn't rate it high for rest on the west side of the hotel near the restaurant, but i'd rate it extremely high for convenience to all things in town. In fairness, the hotel is a nice place but attention to guest comfort is lacking some. I understand if that is a management decision to save money, but the room rates should reflect "bargain", not "premium". Dumping glass bottles before daylight outside the guest rooms is just inexcusable, as is cutting corners on nice cotton sheets that show wear, for a nylon variety that last like a Ford Taurus. Frustrating that management in hospitality doesn't think of "rest of their guests" as being connected to making money. We unfortunately were given a room above the restaurant and on Monday morning the dumpsters being emptied and the relentless dumping of glass beer bottles from on container to the next ruined our sleep before daylight. So for three nights I fought keeping the light blanket they provide (for us who despise duvets) on the sheet. The mattress we had was worn and they use a synthetic sheets that mock high-thread-count sheets on the bed, and the covers simply can't stay on. We enjoyed the restaurant (I'd rate it high), and the ambiance of the place, but felt the rooms were a little tired. So we took what appeared a small risk and stayed at Loretto. The other favored places were sold out on the nights we were going to be there. Although we had utilized the spa at Loretto, we have never stayed there. So we headed impromptu to Santa Fe, one of our favorite resting places within driving distance. My wife and I needed a short break from the heat of south Texas and from work. Juncalito Bay is a nice place to swim,snorkel and bring a picnic lunch.Watch out for the baby jellyfish on top of water and baby rays in sand. We rented a panga from Luis Torres out of Juncalito for $150 and his sons turned us on to fish early. We booked in the US.They do had a Hertz rental also. We rented a car from Budget which came to about $500 for Mon-Sat, mid size. Hopefully in the future they will put in mini frigs and microwaves,that would be really helpful. We had Villa rooms which are the bigger units, so ask for these when you book. La Pinta is right on the beach and within walking dsitance to town (about 10 minutes). The food at the resort was good and the Pina Coladas were great. When in Mexico expect to wait for things longer than normal, this is know as a "Mexican minute". ![]() My husband and I have never been.The resort was clean,staff was very friendly. Me,my husband and brother stayed at La Pinta first week of Novemeber 2004 to do some fishing. Word of advice, enjoy Loreto on a day trip and save your $$ for places like La Paz, Todos Santos and San Jose Del Cabo. For some reason the town appears to be washed out and experiencing an economic downturn. Past experiences in Loreto have been very enjoyable. We traveled further south for three additional weeks and found the prices much more reasonable and the lodging to be top notch. The town of Loreto has always been a pleasure for us but for some reason most establishments feel they can charge maximum $$ and offer minimal accomodations these days. The base price was $89USD and upon checkout totaled over $100 USD. The toilet immediatley backed up and all towels and linens were so worn you could see through them. Not into the TV but no remote was available. The drapes were broken and probably hadn't functioned in years. No screen door so it was not an option if you desired fresh air during the night. The room was full of mosquitos, the sliding glass door was cracked in several places, would no longer slide on the tracks and would not lock leaving the room open to whoever wanted to ransack. We had a ground floor room which which had not been updated for at least 20 years. I have to say I've always loved Loreteo but this trip we opted to stay at La Pinta and was extremely disappointed. My wife & I just returned from a three week free lance tour of BSC.
