Nothing to do with the condo:
First of all we flew into SJD and rented a car from Dollar. Our only disappointment. Got a great pre-booking price for the car. However, they charged an additional fee per day for standard liability insurance (2x the listed) "It's because of the location and time of year". I read previous issues regarding the cost of insurance but was in no way expecting it to be that much as my confirmation stated $12-20 per day depending on the vehicle type (mine was a standard full size). There was no negotiating. STAY AWAY FROM DOLLAR!!
The condo/La Paz:
My family and I just returned from a 10 day stay in this spectacular condo at Paraiso Del Mar! We could not have been happier from the beautiful spacious condo to the wonderful resort, wonderful staff and the fabulous city of La Paz! We did not know what to expect with the resort being on a peninsula. However, with the efficient water taxis and vans which come to your door to take you to the boat slip, this only added to the entire ambiance of the resort!! The condo itself is so tastefully decorated and so well equipped with everything you could possibly need! We really appreciated the abundance of towels! The views from the balconies were simply amazing- we could see dolphins swimming everyday and kayaked with them on a couple of occasions. Maude, the manager was very easy to work with and communicate with. She even completed our grocery shopping prior to our arrival and it was all put away. Maude even purchased a BBQ for the patio!!
La Paz is a lovely city with so many hole in the wall places to get absolutely delicious food!!! In fact the best and cheapest food we have ever had in all of Mexico! I could go on about all of the great restaurants but to just mention a few-there is the Rancho Viejo- unbelievable!! The burgers, burritos, chimicangas, shrimp tacos at Bandidos- fabulous!! The pool bar/restaurant had excellent drinks and food as well. They will even prepare a specific dinner for your party if you like or cook your catch of the day!
Todos Santos is worth a visit- such a cute, quaint little artsy town. La Ventana worth a visit as well, not to mention all of the beautiful beaches that are close by.
Try La Paz and try this amazing condo- fabulous vacation! Thank you Maude, you were great!!
