Hotel Palmas de Cortez in Los Barriles is a wonderful, relaxing resort on the Sea of Cortez. Our stay there was delightful. The resort is not the glitzy, large resorts of Cabo or mainland Mexico, but rather it is a small, cozy resort. The pool area and hot tub were very nice and always clean. The beautiful beach is right... More

I don't think there is a better option in Los Barilles or Buena Vista for a hotel. Nice location, pool, beach and restaurant. Good service. Weather was great and winds were calm for our stay in March. It can get really windy in the winter months. More

The location is great but it is nothing more than a less than average beach resort hotel. The public areas are pretty well maintained but it lacks any character, warmth or ambiance.

The ratings scared me for a second, just as fast I remembered my brother said it is highly thougt of in that area and my sister just told me...... More

The hotel was nice, beautiful pool, beach views, etc. Internet only available in restaurant and common areas. We loved the fancy restaurant, great guacamole and margaritas! The other restaurant had good breakfast options that weren't too pricey. The rooms were okay - beds not so great, but updated bathrooms and clean. The pool was too cold to swim in (January)... More

Had a wonderful time. From the room to the food to the fresh Civichi when we shared our catch of the day. What a wonderful time we had! More
