Just returned from a brief visit to Loreto, and the Villas Del Palmyr.
Loreto is a lovely and charming small village about 6 hours from Cabo. Nice ride...good roads, safe and scenic. Stopped along the way
to enjoy the amazing views of the Pacific along the lower section of the trip..... As you head north, you begin the passage thru the mountains . Reminded me of the western USA.....around Scottsdale.
Pack a lunch etc...as the food options are not great en route? Lots of gas and small stores, but not much interesting dining options past Todo Santos.
Checked in to the Villas Del Palmyr, a beautiful resort at Danzante Bay, and the home of one of the prettiest and most challenging golf courses in Mexico.....Danzante Bay CC.
Wonderful 5 Star facility....plenty of pools, views, spas, restaurants, and some of the nicest and friendliest people we have ever encountered at a resort facility:). Jenero at the front desk, along with Orlando were a pleasure! Simple check in....our rooms were ready....and fabulous! Ocean and pool views, as well as vistas out to the Islands of Loreto! Manuel took the car to a shady spot, and we enjoyed Happy Hour! The town is a 35-40 min drive...or shuttles are available. We enjoyed a nice dinner at Mezzaluna and breakfast the next day at Mi Loreto, 2 of the best venues in town.
Next day....I played the course ! Once in a lifetime experience;)
I was all by myself out there.... Played the Signature 17 th ....twice!
Impossible to describe the majesty of this track! Gorgeous scenic vistas, cliffs overlooking the beauty of the Sea of Cortez....and the mountains ! A must do.....for any golfer!
The hotel and the staff were truly a pleasure ! Everyone we encountered from housekeeping to waitstaff we’re eager to please and genuinely interested in our happiness ;). Our rooms were beautiful and well maintained. We plan to visit again very soon, and have inquired about the real estate ownership offerings!
The ride home was made memorable by a wonderful dinner in Todo Santos at Chez Oliver. Wonderful and charming French restaurant,
Excellent and friendly service,and delightful French cooking!
Hard to imagine this level of classic Nouvelle Cusine in this small town in Mexico.....but, we were thoroughly impressed! Only an hour from Cabo! We will return often on day trips.
