You get what you pay for. We were looking for a quick overnight place to stay. It's very outdated, Mattresses are on top of a box spring made of bricks, literally. The shower had a lot of black mold. The restaurant is great though! So is the staff!

I enjoyed it, but not sure all would so go with proper expectations. Near cliff that near a quiet beach. Enjoyable beach walk at low tide, fishing, peaceful, decent seafood restaurant but hours are limited to 1:00 to 9:00 PM. No breakfast and no staff found in morning so plan accordingly. Not much else to do. You need to relax and make your own fun. Front desk girl and waitress Daisy was very pleasant. Room was not dirty but very modest and everything seemed worn out. Wifi did not work in room but did in restaurant. Hotel construction stopped leaving it part complete. For the low price and beach location it was all fine with me and with the other guests but might be too rustic for many. During my stay it was quiet, peaceful and there were no problems. So, if you want to fish, or chill and you need nothing fancy it’s an interesting experience.

This little place is great-for people who just want to check out of society for a spell. It’s a bit rustic but for the price as well as the experience I highly recommend it.

Bad experience
The web pictures do not show what the actual rooms look like. Very old beds, sheets, towels, furniture, ect... We got there and the rooms were not ready. At the time of check out the front desk was closed. If you are looking for a family hotel this is not the place. I don't recommend this place at all.

Camalu retreat
I visited here many years ago and was hoping to see some big changes by now. The hotel is in just about the same condition it was 11 years ago. Someone has a big vision for the place but has not been able to fulfill the dream so far. I suppose it is because of the secluded location and lack of steady business. I love the place and hope it gets finished some day. I would love to see it in its true grandeur!

The quadruple rooms were not what we expected, specially because we had children with us, but the staff was extremely helpful and allowed us to occupy other rooms that I thought were not available. Afterwards, the experience was perfectly fine.

Booking was not kept. I arrived around 8pm after driving almost 3 hours south of the border. I was nicely offered accomodation on a shared room and/or on a different location which I would have drove for another hour and a half, which is not cool or not to take any of those options and drive back. Of course due to COVID I did not want to share the same room with strangers and did not want to drive in the middle of the night to unknown places due to security issues assotiated to narco violence in this area. They were nice not charging a no show fine or night stay... but that just ruined my plans. Something to take into account when booking...

Beautiful view. Friendly service. Delicious food. Great value. We stayed in mid February on a Saturday night and there were very few guests. The beds were hard. But the rooms were clean, with bottled water. Would definitely stay again.

A diamond in the rough
La Cueva Del Pirata is a great place to stay. It’s a typical “Baja”, under construction, needs to be up dated, however, it has some of the best food I’ve had in Baja. The shower is hot in the morning but not so much afterwards, lmao! There is a ton of things to do, fishing , hiking, hanging out by the water and digging for clams. The beds are comfy and the staff is amazing. If you need anything they will help you out. Did I mention the food is amazing! When you over look the simple flaws it truly is a diamond in the rough. I travel with my two Pit Bulls and they too were welcomed as guests, no charge. It’s $10 to camp and $24 for a room. They serve food all day and have a buffet on Sunday night. I had a ton of fun and most definitely will be back.
