Not sure what others are offering in Montanita? Baja is not offering much though. We only spent one night and felt badly ripped off. The room that we paid $170 for was "Bare Bones" at best. There were two rooms left we were told. A royal suite and the superior ocean view. We chose the latter as it was cheaper... More

We spent three days at the Hotel Baja Montanita (HBM) in mid-February. For us (friends in our 40s), it was easily the best option for us in Montanita. Here's why: The crowds on the weekends and holidays are crazy. If you want to stay up partying (or just stay up) until 4:00 a.m., then you have many options. If you... More

Great place on the beach, great staff, great food! We will return. The location is perfect because you can walk to the center of Montanita by way of the beach. We really enjoyed just sitting out by the ocean bar and also enjoyed the swimming pool. The rooms great too because they all overlook the beach Thanks to the wonderful... More

This hotel is at the end of Montañita and if you are one of those persons (like me) who likes to be far away from the crowds, this is the hotel to stay. This is by far the best in terms of standards. All others are hostels ( 1 or 2 stars). This hotel is a 3 plus. Yo can... More

We stayed at Hotel Baja Montanita for one evening during the August off-season. It was easy to see that the place might have been special 'back in the day' but it is now showing a bit of wear. Clean and good service...just not up to the price levels that they charged. POSITIVES Good service all-around and very clean. Comfortable beds.... More

I've just stayed there in the last week of January12. Altough the hotel could get some renew in the average it's ok. Compared to the other options it's the best choice. 10 minutes walk from the restaurants and stores - use the beach to make the walk- it has a nice pool and the room is very confortable. The guys...

This hotel is the best in the Montanita area. The view from the room is amazing and it's a few steps from the sand and sea. It also has a good size pool. The food is excellent and the staff is very cordial and informative. Johnny and Otton were always attentive and made us feel at home. The rooms are... More

I've stayed at several hotels when visiting this surf beach. It's the best stay thus far. It's about 10 mins walk to main strip but if you want to surf this hotel is actually in the center of action! The price is the highest compared to rest of hotels but well worth it. If you want comfort, relaxation and are... More
