Rancho BV is so wonderful! It is one of the oldest properties in Baja! Staff is so kind and helpful — Arturo is MVP! He always had answers to any questions we had, even helped us secure a car to drive around town (his own!). The property is “tired” but very clean and well kept. The “coffee time” restaurant was super cute and delicious (we only had coffee and breakfast, but saw others dining and it looked wonderful, too). The pool and bar is literally right on the beach, so even if the ocean was too chilly to swim you could still enjoy the beach and ocean view from poolside. Location is perfect — very secluded, but only about a 4-5min drive into Los Barriles. Overall, an excellent spot to visit and relax! Thank you Rancho staff for a wonderful trip! 😊

Honestly, unless you are use to the Wild West, isolation and eating at local convenience store Oxxo this is not for the average tourist! It’s in middle of no where, no food available. We are at convenience store. Room is outdated with old ac still in wall, fan was hanging off ceiling and it was uncomfortable bed. If just need a place to crash on route to next destination it is ok for one night, but definitely not a vacation location

Horrible

We were told there was a restaurant there and it has none. We were tired from driving and didn’t want to have to go in search of a restaurant (the main reason we chose this place) so false advertising. The place is run down and many vacant rooms. But the main reason we decided to not stay there was upon entering the room, directly outside was a large cockroach and more dead ones on the floor. The room smelled bad. We asked for a refund immediately and we were told they would. But hotels.com subsequently said that they would not refund our money.

Good for one night.

It was a very simple room with no tv. The room smelled of mould and had some obvious signs of wear from the salt water.

Don’t waste your time. This place is a dump. Property is completely worn down. Electrical didn’t work in the room. Toilet was broken. Mosquitoes another flying insects everywhere. We checked out after two hours of checking in and move to a different property.

Peace and relaxation!

Just know that it is “CASH ONLY” I would stay here again, the room was good the beds were comfortable and clean. The managers son is an EMT and came right to the room for our COVID test to return home. The restaurant is under construction for a fire as of 11/13/2021 but should be done very soon. Peace and quiet and relaxing is in abundance. Brenda at the bar makes a mean pina colada!

Comfy beds Cool location / nice stargazing We were received poorly and they didn’t even have us marked as guests for the evening No wifi in the room Half the hotel is dilapidated and trashed No light on the porch or inside minus the lamp on the nightstand The only outlets that work are in the bathroom There is a desk but no chair, why? The chairs on the balcony and the tiles in the room and bathroom feel crusty and dusty and like they haven’t been cleaned in years. Hair in the drain and soap tray in the shower

Llegamos y no tenían nuestra reservación contemplada. La habitación estaba un poco anticuada pero limpia, el AC hacía mucho ruido y preferimos pender los ventiladores de techo (que también hacían ruido pero un poco menos), no hay televisión en la habitación, solo dejaron amenidades de baño para 1 persona y la reserva era para 3, el personal del bar no es muy servicial teníamos que salir de la alberca e ir por nuestras bebidas nosotros mismos, por el contrario, las chicas del restaurante (las hermanas) eran muy amables y siempre atendían con una sonrisa. Me dedico a la hotelería y sé que con un buen servicio y una habitación limpia y cómoda puedes tener a tus huéspedes felices, sin embargo el hecho de llegar y que no esté nuestra habitación y el mal servicio del personal del bar me dejó un mal sabor de boca. Solo regresaría por la tranquilidad del lugar y la vista que tiene.
