We were driving from Vancouver to PV and needed an ocean break after driving from Nogales. We chose the Hotel Playa de Cortes because of its unique position on The Sea of Cortes. We got one of their premium rooms as you will see in in our photos. We loved the old Mexican charm of the hotel. Our room had... more

I enjoyed this hotel, but only by taking it in stride. The wife did not so much enjoy it. This is a 30+ or 50+ year old hotel that has had little maintenance in recent years.
