Posada La Poza
The Fine Art of the Boutique Hotel
Step Back to a Quieter Time Where the Décor Reflects the Nature Around It…
Situated on the Pacific Ocean at the Tropic of Cancer between Cabo San Lucas to the south and La Paz to the east lays the sleepy town of Todos Santos. It’s easy to drive right through and barely notice the place.
This is part of the magic of Posada La Poza, a charming seven room boutique hotel nestled on the beach just north of Punta Lobos. Featuring fine dining surrounded by traditional Mexican décor, the comfortable accommodations are decorated in vivid hues using hand painted tiles, authentic Mexican textiles and tasteful wood accents. All rooms have a private terrace and a view of the gardens, the pool and the estuary. In the mornings, fresh coffee and pastries are served in the garden, allowing plenty of time to wake up slowly to the tranquil rhythms of the oasis environment. A healthy breakfast of Swiss musli with fresh fruits or egg dishes, tropical juices and strong coffee is served in the restaurant. Lunch and dinner are a real treat as well offering specialties such as pork fillet served with a prune chipotle sauce or fresh seared ahi and sumptuous cuts of beef. Using only the freshest ingredients, Juerg and his young German Chef André are developing a reputation for serving some of the finest non-traditional fare in the region, blending Mexican and European flavors into savory combinations.
The hotel is reached by dirt road just south of the center of town. Follow the blue and white painted signs to the beach and if you get lost, just ask the locals and they can guide you in. It is a trip well worth the adventure of getting there. Be prepared to stay awhile and immerse yourself in the warm, tropical ambiance of La Poza because once you arrive, you’ll find it most difficult to leave.
