My hubby and I stayed at Sea of Cortez Beach Club for 8 nights in order to "ring in the New Year" for 2024 !!! This hotel is PERFECT and exactly what we were hoping for !!! We had a Suite which was huge, complete with an entire kitchen (with dishwasher, two burner stove, and huge refrigerator, coffeemaker, etc), along with a balcony which overlooked the gorgeous ocean!!! The jacuzzi was the PERFECT temperature and was not very busy !!! Being that this is their "off season", we were not concerned that the bar was not open at the hotel. They gave us access to their neighboring hotel, the "San Carlos Hotel" and told us we could utilize their beach side bar and restaurant. Sea of Cortez Beach club is located on a BEAUTIFUL beach, but has a rocky beachfront from the hotel down to the beach. This was GREAT for my hubby to snorkel !! We did walk down the sandy beach in both directions (north and south), and we came upon two great little sandy beach restaurants to the north (approx 1.4 miles walk each way). The Sunset Bar and Grill and the Mesa Cortez restaurants had fantastic prices and food/alcohol !!! You will NOT be disappointed by hanging out at these locations to watch the sunset !!! San Carlos in general is EXTREMELY safe and we were impressed with the beauty of the area !!!! We LOVED our stay and met so many nice ex-Pats while visiting the area !!! We also did a sunset cruise on New Years Eve and had a BLAST on a catamaran !!! SUCH beautiful views !!!!
