AN ABSOLUTE HIDDEN GEM! We stayed in San Ignacio the town on our way to and from whale watching last week. Hotel La Huerta is definitely the best place in San Ignacio to stay. It is only 1 year old, It is INCREDIBLY clean, beds are comfortable. LOCATION IS PERFECT. Close enough to EASILY walk to the Mission as well as the plaza. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN ! Martha at the front desk is a GEM, has great English and is possibly the most efficient person EVER. In town? Eat at Victors. AMAZING SHRIMP / SERVICE !

What a nice surprise! When we were researching our trip La Huerta Hotel had no website. It was hard even to find an email address. The price per night for 2 people was only £30. Our expectations were low. There wasn’t even a ‘La Huerta Hotel’ sign outside!

How wrong can you be? La Huerta Hotel is a fresh, modern building with plenty of space around it. The receptionist was welcoming and spoke good English. With just 20 rooms, 200m from the Mission and the centre of San Ignacio, this is a terrific place.

The rooms are spacious. Ours had two double beds plus large en-suite shower room. Immaculately clean, with plenty of hot water, a healthy quantity of electrical sockets, bottles of drinking water provided, and great wifi, it had everything we needed.

There is a smart cafe for breakfast with an excellent menu. Over the wall at the back is an orange grove – heavy with fruit when we stayed. Apart from a main bedroom door that was stiff it was hard to find a fault. Highly recommended.

Because of the outstanding hospitality of the owners, Ignacio Springs is still my top choice for San Ignacio (we stayed there before). But if San Ignacio Springs is full, you’ll be happy and very comfortable at La Huerta.

La Huerta is a new hotel and, preparing for my trip to Baja, I could not find any information on it. It is a wonderful hotel with a prime location just a block off the main plaza. The rooms are nicely decorated; the beds very comfortable; the bathroom very modern with plenty of hot water; AC; wifi; coffee in the lobby. The staff were courteous and helpful. There is a well stocked small mercado just a few steps away. Even though it was fully booked when we were there, it was not noisey at night. I can highly recommend it and I would stay there again. The price is right and it is a good choice for overnight during the whale watch season.
