“It was like arriving at an oasis”

We rode 160 miles on dirt bikes to get here from the Sea of Cortez side of Baja and it was like arriving at an oasis.

Arranged by our dirt bike outfitter Captain Baja (also highly recommended), we were blown away by the accomodations, hospitality and setting of Lejos De Todo.

Each room opens up on the most picturesque courtyard complete with a pool and bar that invites you to linger and relax and share stories. The rooms themselves are terrific. Roomy. Well appointed. Sitting area and large bathroom. All you could hope for or need.

The location is on a picturesque piece of beach that has plenty of comfortable sand but also some interesting rock formations to sit upon, especially when enjoying sunsets with a cocktail or your camera.

The owners are so delightful that we invited them to go to dinner with us. Glad we did, as we enjoyed their company and stories very much. They are working really hard to establish Lejos De Todo as the kind of place you love to arrive at and hate to leave and they are well on their way.

While I would encourage any person or couple traveling alone, this is the perfect place for a group in search of a few rooms or even a buyout. We like getting to know other travelers, so meeting new people is a bonus, but if you need full control of quality time with friends or family, you can be next door to them and have access to the courtyard or patio or beach in a mere few steps.

The only minor ding, if it even is one, is it is a few minutes drive into town…but that’s well worth it for the location and sense of privacy and so is actually a bonus in some respects. Me, I don’t go to Baja to be among a crowd. I would prefer a bit of solace so that I can then choose when to be in a place with more bustle rather than the other way around trying to escape it when I cannot.

For context, we are world travelers, Diamond status on Delta, and often stay in higher end accommodations, so a 5-star rating is not handed out easily.

As we pulled away on our dirt bikes (and chase vehicle) on a beautiful Baja morning, I looked over my shoulder with hopes to come back with friends or family so they could discover the lovely Lejos De Todo for themselves and I could say hello again to my new friends.
