El Angel Azul
I’ve quit writing these reviews for the most part, but feel that El Angel Azul warrants a special mention as one of those rare gems to be shared. As all hacienda style homes are, the Angel Azul is unassuming from the outside but holds a miniature Eden within. The central courtyard/garden will keep you entertained with local plants, birds and barking geckos as well as many comfortable lounging options. The rooms are all off of this courtyard as well as the honesty bar and kitchen, both of which are available for the guest’s use. The owner, Esther has made beach towels, coolers and umbrellas available for your beach experience and the Malecon (my favorite in Mexico) is within easy walking distance. As with any successful business the staff is what defines your experience. El Angel Azul's staff is no exception and you will be cared for like family. If you are an early riser, let Don José know and coffee will be waiting for you when you get up as he did for me. Be sure to take advantage of the information in the lobby as it is extensive and has great tips for enjoying La Paz and the surrounding areas. Also, don't miss the before and after photo album there showing the scale of the project that has evolved into El Angel Azul. ¡Buen viaje!
