Our family of five stayed at Casa de la Luna in June 2016 and enjoyed every minute. If you are hesitant to venture outside Cabo San "Locos" to the real Baja, don't be. The people of Baja, and especially Los Barriles, are welcoming and friendly - good people. Los Barriles is small and laid back (most of the locals drive ATV's), with none of the manic, constant-hassle of Cabo peddlers, but large enough to have a handful of darn good restaurants and decently stocked grocery stores (OK, except for wine. We are Californians but not wine snobs, but it was still pretty grim. But after the first 2-3 glasses, who cares, right?! Try Costco in Cabo or San Jose before you come - they may have a better selection. LB has great tequila though!). And the beaches and water are much more beautiful, and swimmable, than Cabo. We loved the town and beautiful beaches and whole vibe so much we didn't want to come home.
Casa de la Luna was the perfect place to stay for our group. It was beautifully appointed and comfortable, everyone had their own space, including bathroom, to spread out and not get on each other's nerves, and sunrise from the balcony was heavenly. My older kids loved the pool and bars at both the Bayview downstairs and the Las Palmas Hotel next door, and my husband enjoyed being right on the beach so he could surf fish in the mornings and evenings. It's also fun to watch the fishing boats go out in the morning and come back with their catch in the late afternoon. The washer and dryer for the unit were out of commission so we all had our laundry done by housekeeping (we had come from 4 days of fishing in Cabo), which worked out great. The kitchen was well stocked so we cooked a few nights but mostly enjoyed either walking into town to the local restaurants (just a short walk - our favorite was hands-down La Casita, followed by El Gecko Beach Club. They give you 2 drinks when you order 1!! And their food is amazing, especially the guacamole. Smokey's is great for American-style food. Enjoyed drinks at Vago's Bar.). It was hot and sticky in June when we were there, and it was always nice to come back to our lovely retreat at Casa de la Luna with its cool tile floors and comfortable surroundings. We will be back!
