Hotel Hacienda Paraiso de La Paz Bed & Breakfast-Inn — Hotel in Baja California Sur

This was our first stay in La Paz. We - a family of three, with a seven-year-old girl - have been to the Eastern Cape of Baja Sur before, and love the region. We wanted to explore the bay of La Paz and what it has to offer, in its natural and urban setting. We tend to shy away from bigger hotels, and were happy to find Hacienda Paraiso, which looked beautiful and inviting from the pictures.

Hacienda Paraiso is a very special place, carefully designed and crafted by artist and scientists Gloria and Richard. From the start, Gloria was very accommodating and kind in helping choose the best room to suit our needs for the stay with our child. When we arrived, Richard met us at the door and showed us where to park our rental car in their spacious garage, off the street and away from the glaring hot sun. Then Richard proceeded to give us a tour of the premises and guide us on what we might want to do in the next few days during our stay.

Richard and Gloria are delightful and knowledgeable. We had several wonderful conversations with them spanning many interesting topics. Richard was able to book us into a boat tour to Isla Espiritu Santo the very next day after we arrived. This is a very special trip in which you can explore this nature preserve with all its features, including swimming with sea lions! Richard and Gloria also gave us very good recommendations on places to eat in La Paz that were just right for our family.

Hacienda Paraiso truly is a paradise oasis. It is a walled courtyard with several casita rooms that are independent. Inside the space there are palm trees, birds, flowers, a turtle, two cats and a parrot named Sassy! There is a beautiful mosaic pool and many places to explore and play in for a curious and independent child. I loved waking up with the sun and finding a spot outside under the palm trees to do my daily yoga practice, after which we were served a bountiful and delicious fresh breakfast, seated outside. Our room, Maria Bonita Casita, was very comfortable. We loved all the care and the details that went into planning and...

We just returned from what I would call everyone’s hope that the place they stay at is everything anyone would ever want when you are going to a new place for the first time Hacienda Paraiso proved to be just that and more ! The owners Richard and Gloria provided us with the best accommodation and experience that while we were there we already started thinking of coming back. It’s not juat a place to lay our heads after exploring the charm of La Paz. It’s so nice to start your day with conversations at the table where breakfast is served. We laughed and laughed with stories shared . They are such a funny and lovely couple . Elvia did a great job making Mexican home made food and in cleaning our room which by the way represented the culture of Mexico . Every furnishings inside and outside is nicely done including the art displays. I could go on and on with how wonderful our stay was you’ll have to experience it. Richard and Gloria thank you so much for a memorable trip there . You’ve created Hacienda Paraiso a place that meets every traveler’s wish to be in a place to create memories, meet new friends and enjoy every moment that we were there . See...

My wife and I recently spent 5 nights at Hacienda Paraiso in La Paz. Our room was spacious, nicely decorated, and perhaps most important, equipped with a hot shower and comfortable bed. One of the central features of the Hacienda is its large courtyard area, clean, peaceful and quiet enough to hear birds chirping. It creates an atmosphere that is relaxing day or night. One unexpected bonus came in the form of the security and convenience of the parking garage and its easy access from the courtyard. We felt anything left in the car was accessible but safe and secure.

Aside from it's physical features aside, the personality of the Hacienda is largely delivered by it’s hosts Richard and Gloria. They are informed and helpful on many levels and simply pleasant to talk to. We enjoyed conversations with them over breakfast each day and always looked forward to the next one. For us, interacting with local people is one of the most enriching aspects of travel, and Richard and Gloria easily fulfilled that need. I look forward to our next trip, we already know...
