Club El Moro is one of our original Insider Sponsors and it is because of the quality of their product that we recommend this boutique hotel as one of the best values in La Paz.
Club El Moro offers unique hacienda style accommodations and on-site restaurant in a beautiful and secure environment on the waterfront in La Paz. Located on the edge of this tranquil city, guests can walk the malecón at sunset to enjoy the many La Paz evening activities in El Centro.
Location, location, location…
Finding this unique resort hotel on the shores of the Sea of Cortez is simple; you take the malecón along the La Paz (map) waterfront northeast to the edge of town. One of the near by landmarks is the old windmill on the beach which marks the seaside location of the fresh water that first brought settlers to these shores. Located just a few hundred meters further, as the road begins to wind out of La Paz proper, is the beautiful Moorish entrance to the Club El Moro on the right. Secure parking is located roadside, in front of the hotel.
Certainly one of the attractions to this resort hotel is the Sea of Cortez, right across the street. The Malecón walkway extends about 3km in each direction from Club El Moro. You can take advantage of this location to watch sunrise over the mountains or sunset over the Bay of La Paz. Despite what you may have heard about Mexico, my senior parents confidently take the walk to the Kiosk where the events are focused or to El Centro to shop. A small market is also within walking distance.
A new bike lane has recently been marked off along the La Paz waterfront and begins just a few hundred meters from the Club El Moro. The separate bike lane provides a safe place for even younger riders to cycle into town and also gets the bikes off the sidewalk. Since the renovation of the La Paz waterfront was completed in 2008 the zone has become a focal point of evening life. Street artists and vendors, bands and art shows occur every weekend evening and often mid week. A stroll along this beautiful and tranquil waterfront is truly a slice of La Paz culture.
The Hotel
You feel welcome as you step inside the spacious lobby. The main entrance to the hotel is the only entrance to this walled hacienda. A friendly member of the front desk will greet you in excellent English. Carlos is the front desk manager and your host during the business day. I have known Carlos for many years, he is an avid fisherman and if you have a hankering for the rod and reel he might be willing to provide some local fishing tips.
Inside the grounds you step into another world. Cascading bougainvillea abound and Birds of Paradise erupt from the gardens poolside. Spanish fountains add nature’s music to the tranquility of the central garden. Mornings are particularly nice in the gardens, but any time of day a stroll around the grounds will help you get your Zen back.
You can spend many quiet hours soaking up the Baja sun or reading under the poolside palapa. A frosty refreshment is available from the bar just steps from the pool. Margaritas and Piña Coladas and national beers are particularly tasty on those warm afternoons. The large pool makes for a great way to cool off or for the younger travelers to burn off some energy.
The Rooms
Club El Moro offers several classes of habitations. Standard rooms begin at $80 per night. The Studios, Deluxe rooms and Suites are very 
spacious and provide kitchenettes, excellent for those long term guests. The rooms are comfortably furnished and have TV with cable programming. But to help you with getting away from it all, the one thing you won’t find in any room is a telephone. Wireless internet is accessible throughout the property.
The Gourmet Restaurant for Breakfast & Lunch
After your morning stroll you can enjoy breakfast and lunch at the on-site Gourmet Restaurant. A favorite of both Hotel Guests and local business people, General Director Ricardo Curiel provided me a complete tour of the facility and was particularly proud of the top notch restaurant procedures which have earn his establishment the highest government health ratings. Not only are that, the menu offerings are also delicious!
The Hotel Staff
All this said about the unique facility at El Moro is for naught, without mentioning the friendly and help staff. From grounds keepers keeping El Moro beautiful to the chamber staff keeping your room fresh you will always find someone to try and assist you. You will always find someone at the front desk with whom you can communicate clearly to assist you.
Frequent Stay Program
A large percentage of the El Moro’s guests stay a week or longer and special rates apply. Club El Moro offers a “Frequent Stay Program.” After your first visit you will discover why so many are members of this special program. Travel service companies pre-buy time at resorts to get discount rates, sometimes as much as 80%. These companies then sell these stay-weeks to consumers for a substantial profit. El Moro’s Frequent Stay Program works much the same way but passes the savings on to you, the consumer. For an initial fee you pre-purchase stay-weeks. Then, on your visit to La Paz, you just pay a nominal maintenance fee for each week of your visit. For frequent travelers to La Paz or those who live here and have regular guests to the fair city this is an excellent value.
Why do I endorse this program? It is very simple; we have been members of the Club El Moro Frequent Stay Program longer than El Moro has been an Insider Sponsor. I was their client first – is there a better recommendation than that?
So if you are looking for a single night or a long term or frequent stay in La Paz the Club El Moro is an excellent value in boutique hotel accommodations in Baja California Sur.
