Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
This was our first time in Todos Santos and we didn’t rent a car. Given that, it is a great location in downtown where you can easily walk to shops and restaurants.
We had a beautiful suite on the back side (farthest away from the road). Overall, it’s a beautiful hotel with all the amenities you need. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooftop bar is an incredible place to watch sunsets and Paul is a great bartender. The beach club at El Faro is definitely worth the visit but you will need a car to get there.
The big down side for us was NOISE! The hotel is located on the main road out of Town. I can’t tell you how many sirens and emergency vehicles went by during our 4 night stay. Unfortunately, the positives were overridden by our lack of sleep. General traffic noise is constant and at times the building vibrates from construction vehicles and cars playing music. I can’t imagine how loud the street noise is from rooms on the street side of the hotel.
In addition, the hotel has open areas and tile floors throughout which allows sound to travel easily. During our stay there was a large group of women that would sit in the bar area (laughing loudly) starting at 7 AM and we could hear it in our room on the second floor. We are usually up early (6am) but were awakened each morning by noise from in and outside the hotel.

We were recently in Todos Santos for a couple of nights. The drive from SJD airport to the Guaycura hotel was scenic and very easy. We reached the hotel just in time to witness a fabulous sunset from the Sky lounge while enjoying snacks and cocktails. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating, cooking a delicious, customized vegetarian dinner for us.
The hotel is well located in the heart of the small town making it easy to stroll around and explore the downtown and shops. It is very clean, well-kept, aesthetically decorated with elegant art leaving you with a quaint Mexican feel. Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious and even included freshly made green juice. During the day we relaxed at the El Faro beach club and Spa, which is a short drive from the hotel. The cocktails, Mediterranean food, amazing swimming pool, beautiful beach and the staff were all excellent. This is a great place for a massage while enjoying a soothing breeze from the ocean. This beach club is located exactly on the tropic of cancer! Later that evening we witnessed an amazing and memorable sunset at the El Mirador hilltop restaurant, which is also a short drive from the hotel. The warmth of the staff, the effort they put into make us feel comfortable with delicious vegetarian dinner prepared specially for us will stay in our memories forever. We highly recommend a visit to this hotel to anyone who wants to vacation in Los Cabos area and enjoy the hospitality of Baja Mexico.

We stayed for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed! Suite room was spacious with a very comfortable bed, sitting area, and wonderful soaking tub. VERY clean! Room does not have a coffee maker but does have a mini refrig. We got our coffee at the downstairs cafe, enjoyed a delicious breakfast one morning downstairs and also one night at the Skybar we watched the sunset and had drinks/light dinner. The beach club was wonderful as well- great massage therapist, lovely pool and the best fish tacos we had anywhere on our trip. We also saw lots of whales at this beach - incredible! The hotel is right in town so there is some street noise but it didn't bother us. The advantage of in town location is one can walk all over for shopping and restaurants, and if you have a rental car street parking was available and no problem.

A serene experience. Service was very pleasant and attentive, room and decor were magical with an artistic, poetic, romantic feel. Food was delicious both breakfast and dinner with everything being very fresh, authentic and beautifully presented. Felt luxurious yet relaxed.

Charming hotel. Great walkability to anywhere in town. Rooms are nice. Deluxe rooms have much more space and they all have a desk and chair. The regular rooms are nice and bathrooms are big and roomy but many do not even have a chair to sit on. I had them bring in a small table and chair to work on. Robes included. Small refrigerators. Bath products are fine but no body wash, only a small bar of soap. They asked if I wanted housekeeping while I was there for a week which is strange. The beach club is amazing and the men who work there are very nice. Food is quite good and beer is always cold! Reserve the beach club the day before if you can. This is new and if you don't you may not get a lounge chair or umbrella. They def need more shade mid day so and extra umbrella would be nice. The club is gorgeous and bathrooms are beautiful too.

Great experience in Todos Santos, a place full of charm. Hotel Guaycura a great selection. The place has excellent food, in the afternoon watching the sunset on its terrace is spectacular. We had cocktails and had a delicious dinner. To spend the day there is a great option at El Faro beach club and spa. The best place to enjoy the sun! Personalized attention from Mr. Lorenzo and Mr. Chacon in the pool bar preparing delicious drinks

We loved staying at Guaycura Boutique Hotel in Todos Santos. It’s location in the town historical center is unrivaled, and it’s beach club, only 10 minutes away, is the perfect mix of village and ocean. The rooftop of the hotel has a nice ocean view and a very good bar. It also has a lovely plunge pool. Breakfast is also very good. The beach club has a larger pool and lots of spaces to be. The food menu is great (ask for the fish tacos or the octopus). The spa is small but very relaxing. The massage therapist knows what she’s doing! It was a great place for a couples weekend.

This is a charming hotel in downtown Todos Los Santos, centrally located to all of the restaurants, shops, etc. They include a complimentary cute beach club a short drive from the hotel that offers pool, beach, food and drinks. Special shout out to the staff. Estrella, Ericke and all of the front desk people were lovely, accommodating and extremely helpful. If you are sensitive to street noise be sure to ask for a quieter room, which may require an upgrade. But well worth it. Highly recommend this property for an immersive experience.

The Guayacura Hotel is indeed a nice property to stay at, but it seems that the hotel is not making any effort beyond that to make the guests feel comfortable.
For a family of 3 no extra pillow (beyond the 2) we were placed in the room, we had to ask for more. We also only got 2 big towels, one hand towel and one face towel and one bath robe. We asked for more, but the next morning, after housekeeping has been to our room, the extras vanished and we were back with the ‘hotel standard’ (and had to ask for more again). We don’t know if the hotel offers an turndown service, since it would seem that from time to time some one has been to the room to draw the curtains but nothing apart from that.
Moreover, we were told that the content of the minibar is free only to find that the content was a can of Coke and one small bottle of fizzy water. We ended being changed for the large bottle of fizzy water which was standing on the shelf, although there was no price list anywhere to be found (we will return to hidden costs later).
Since in parts of the hotel do not have 4G reception, WiFi is the way to connect to the internet. However the hotel’s WiFi is dodgy at best and most of the time there was no internet connection at all. When we complained about it, we were told that there’s a problem with American iPhones (although our iPhones are not Americans). Nonetheless, nothing has been done to improve the situation.
Breakfast service slow and inconsistent. We were told that breakfast service starts at 7am. At 7:40 we were met with bewildered looks and told that they will not be able serve breakfast for another 20 minutes or so (it ended up being more like 40). Seeing that this was the breakfast service situation we came down for breakfast well past 8:00 during the other days. However, it did not improve things. The tables were also always set in a sloppy way and thing were missing. Paper napkins always seemed to be missing and only showed up after asked for halfway through breakfast. Half of the breakfast menu itself was unavailable during some of the days and the amount of fruit on the fruit plate (served as part of the American breakfast) has shrunk daily.
The hotel has a beach club at about 10 minutes drive. It is free to for hotel guests, but they would charge you 500mnx pp for use of their beach side cabanas at the beach club (poolside chairs are free). Hidden costs - here they are again. The food at the restaurant is very good though. Excellent quality and good service.
To sum up, this hotel is definitely not worth the rates they charge! Go elsewhere and come by to enjoy the rooftop terrace, if you want.
