Located in the beautiful city of Loreto Baja California Sur sits a Jewel in Baja desert. .a small family owned hotel you must plan to visit and stay. Every time I stay there I feel as if I’m family. located just 500 feet from the square You were close to everything that happens. You’re close to many fine restaurants, local shops, and grocery Stores. You’re also just five minutes away from the Melacon, And a short walk to the marina. The Villa Santa Nino is a small family owned hotel run by husband and wife and sons that offers you an opportunity to relax ,and enjoy everything Loreto has to offer. With immaculate grounds with many interesting artifacts, quaint pool and raised Jacuzzi a self service bar ( the crab bar) And two barbecues for your convenience it’s no wonder why so many people are now booking their stay in Loreto at the Villa Santa Nino. I’ve been traveling to Loreto for 38 years and stayed at many places, but I’ve never found a place quite like this. Husband and wife are gracious to meet you and everyone at the hotel Is eager to help you in anyway, if I could give it a higher rating, I would. Scene is believing put this on your to do list. You won’t regret it. (The original Mr. lost in Baja Chuck from California)

We stayed for 3 months in a one bedroom apartment. It was fabulous!! The Owners are more than gracious!! They truly make your stay with them as comfortable as if it were your own home. The accommodations in the unit have everything you need. We love it and are coming back this following year!

Each time I visit Loreto I am reminded of the unique gem it is…embodying the beauty, quiet and tranquility of old Mexico. This trip was a special revisit to Loreto after a memorable gathering of my brothers and I nearly 8 years ago. This trip we stayed at the Villa Santo Nino and enjoyed the peace and quiet it offered less than 100yards from the main zocalo (central square). Conveniently located a block from the malecon and marina, it was a perfect place to navigate the old city. Beyond simply a place to explore the town on foot, the special nature of this hotel is the “ completeness” it offers its guests. Secure and safe under the close watch of Oralia and her husband, there isn’t an amenity to the stay that I can think of that is lacking. From poolside beach towels, an honor bar and multiple outdoor cooking facilities, to multiple poolside chaise lounges, umbrellas and a large outdoor dining room facilities, it is simply the best. The rooms are spotless with state of the art air conditioning and a kitchenette that is better than well-stocked.. from cheese graters, microwave, blender, coffee maker etc…it is fantastic. They even have an outdoor area stocked with bikes and kayaks for your use. The owners are fantastic hosts, knowledgeable and on site 100%. We will be back!!!! Thank you for a great experience

My wife and I stayed here a few nights during our Honeymoon. We couldn't have asked for a more gracious host. Francisco, Oralia and crew have a beautiful little sanctuary in the heart of Loreto. The room (Mango Suite) was perfect for the two of us. There was a kitchenette with fridge and freezer and a/c if you needed it. Our room had a private back deck overlooking the beautiful grounds/courtyard/pool. The pool was clean and had mosaic tiles arranged to look like manta rays on the bottom and there was a hot tub that was especially nice after being in the cold waters on Sea of Cortez. There were beautiful plants all over the property and hummingbirds frequently present. The property was right in the heart of Loreto, so you could walk to most places. We rented a car so we could drive to beaches and missions that were more than a few miles away. They had their own parking lot. Francisco and his crew were so nice, accommodating and helpful and so were the other tenants.

Villa Santo Nino was the highlight of our trip to Loreto. Oralia, our host, helped us navigate all aspects of our stay. The property is beautiful, tons of outside space and kitchens with lush greenery and a perfectly sized pool. Malecon, beaches, and Mission Centro just a minute walk. Even our one bedroom apartment was wonderful, it kept us dry and safe during the tropical storm that rolled through! I can’t suggest more highly a place to stay in Loreto or more welcoming hosts. Thank you Santo Nino!

Staying at the Villa Santo Nino was like a breath of fresh air.You never know what Paradise means until you stay there and in Loreto. Oralia and Chato are the warmest, friendliest, and outgoing couple,(owners). The studio that we stayed in was so beautiful and clean and a lot a room for everything. But the most beautiful experience is the sunrises from the Sea of Cortez that are only half a block away from the Villa Santo Nino. I highly recommend anyone going to Loreto Mexico to stay at the Villa Santo Nino. .
