1st Floor Beachfront Condo in Paraiso Del Mar Resort 3br/$890/wk or 2br/$750/wk

Steps from the pool. Has everything you would need to cook, just bring groceries over on the ferry. Beautiful grounds and wonderful condo. Right on beach... practically by ourselves out there. We all enjoyed our stay here.

We loved everything about our stay at Natalia's place! The home was nicely furnished and had everything we need. Kitchen was modern and stocked full of gadgets. There was an iPod stereo system for our phones and a large flat screen for TV. The convenience of being on the first floor can't be understated since it makes walking to the pool so easy. Natalia was responsive and answered all of our questions. The property manager Anna was really nice and greeted us when we first arrived. The development itself is quiet and laid back since only residents and guests are allowed. There weren't many people there at all during our stay so it literally felt like our own personal paradise. Calling transportation to take us to the boat dock was easy and they picked us up right at the doorstep. Most of the staff there is very friendly and speaks English. The restaurant at the pool made great cocktails and their food was fresh and tasty. We kayaked right off the beach there and on one morning had an absolutely incredible experience with a dolphin pod that swam around us. La Paz is a already magical place and staying in the Paraiso Del Mar community made it even better. We're definitely going to come back!!

Finally, we found the ultimate location for vacationing in Mexico. Paraiso del Mar is a gem in the city of La Paz area. Only 10-12 minutes by a free shuttle boat from the city of La Paz (which is very safe and charming place, with a beautiful miles long Malecon - a local term for the boardwalk), and you enter the most relaxing place you can imagine. It is so different from typical tourist destinations like Cabo or Cancun, with often annoying tourist crowds. But don't think that you'll be bored here. There are tennis courts, a great golf course on premises, free paddle boards and kayaks and unbelievable fishing. On top of that, you can walk for miles along the unspoiled beach, often in total solitude.

The accommodation is fantastic. This 3 bedrooms, 4 baths condo has not 1 but 3 entries, so every bedroom can be accessed separately, with total privacy. The condo is very big and furnished beautifully. A big advantage of its location is that you can go to the pool or to the sea right from the patio. You appreciate it even more when going to dine at the pool area, where a few gourmet chefs run an improvised restaurant. If you prefer, they would even bring your order to your room or your patio. This restaurant is so good that on this trip we never dined anywhere else, even though there are a few very good restaurants in La Paz. I am writing this review with a mixed feeling - on the one hand, it's good to share a good experience, on the other hand, one may want to keep this little secret for one's own pleasure. We'll certainly come back here, hopefully many times.

As Midwesterners we've made countless trips to Cancun and most recently three Cabo trips in past four years…my wife, junior in HS and senior collegian totally enjoyed both the downtown community and staff of Paraiso del Mar over our eleven night stay. The citizens of La Paz are incredibly friendly and most respectful. My blonde wife and senior collegian visited downtown to shop and eat a few times and never felt uncomfortable, "spotted" or aggressively approached to purchase or even look in the market or shops. Most certainly--of all destinations and properties we've enjoyed ion Mexico hands down La Paz is our favorite!

Transportation through PanchoTuros was outstanding…Communication from Octavio was timely and responsive just as it was from condo owner Natalia from California and her property manager Ana on site in La Paz. We bought lunch for our driver Sergio in Los Barrillies on the way to La Paz for awesome fish tacos--he also spoke excellent English and knew condo owner Natalia.

Nicholas was the ambassador of transportation and a great representative of the awesome staff at Paraiso del Mar. He spoke excellent English and was always, always on time! My son really enjoyed talking to Pablo of the Survivor Bar staff near the pool. My wife and daughter always had a few daiquiri's at happy hour in the late afternoon!

Marco was very attentive at the Arthur Hills golf course setting us up each time with rental clubs, range time and a cart--my son played four times and myself three! The course is in excellent condition with many waterfront and beachfront holes.

Natalia's condo blew my kids away--we opted for the 3BR set up and weren't even expecting a 4th full bath! The kitchen was well stocked with pans, dish ware and other necessities. We ate breakfasts daily and a few lunches in the condo--allot of snacks too. The two dinners at the Survivor Bar on site were excellent--surf and turf one night and awesome fish taco's and fresh ceviche. The wireless network connected day one and was used steadily through the trip to watch Netflix, surf and check email.

Calm waters on the first Friday and second Saturday allowed us the chance to see our first whale shark and dolphin's up by close by paddleboat instead of an $85/head charter! We can't wait to return to B-104, PdM, La Paz and see our new friends we met these past eleven nights! We returned 78-80 degree temps to 15 below zero temps and 40 below wind chills from the Polar Vortex!

My husband and I spent 3 glorious weeks at this amazing condo. The pictures do not do it justice...it is absolutely beautiful! Tastefully decorated, huge rooms, stocked with every appliance you could want and beautiful linens and towels. The beach is amazing...you can walk for miles on one of the most pristine untouched beaches, and watch the dolphins swim by just about every morning! The staff and property manager, Ana, go above and beyond to help you with anything and make you feel welcome. The infinity pool is huge and beautiful and has a nice bar and restaurant if you choose to take the day off from cooking. Baja California and La Paz itself is one of the best places we have ever been to, and we have done a lot of traveling. You feel safe, the town has many amenities, a beautiful 7 km long boardwalk along the ocean, super friendly people and fabulous restaurants. If you have never been, we highly recommend it! Thank you Natalia for your hospitality at your beautiful condo!
