El Perdido Desert Dream

Overall, we had a wonderful stay. Relaxing, peaceful and quiet, which is exactly what we were looking for from El Perdido. Located in a secluded area about an hour away from SJD near some of the most beautiful beaches we’d ever seen, with world class sunsets. The highlight of our entire stay was a sunset beach picnic the hotel organized for us. That stretch of beach feels like you have it to yourself, absolutely stunning. The rooms were well designed with thoughtful details. But with only seven villas on property we expected a bit more privacy in our villa than what we received. It could have been the location of our specific villa that was next to the walking path to the tower and hot tub. Ultimately we got used to that but it’s worth noting. The on site pool is incredible. Relaxing with a plush garden back drop, and heated to the perfect temperature. Breakfast is served every day and is eaten at the communal table in the common area, it’s adequate. Lunch was their best meal, also served in the common area. Coyote, their on site restaurant that serves dinner, however, was a bit of a let down, and the main reason we cannot give our stay 5 stars. We’d heard the restaurant was under new management, so this could likely just be an adjustment period. We went our first two nights there with the second night being NYE. For their NYE pre fixe menu, it was the same menu as the night before, but coursed out differently and at 5x the price. A price I’d pay for a Michelin star tasting menu, but in this case was for 2 oz of steak that was tougher than leather and under salted chicken that was left on the grill 10 minutes too long. It’s possible the kitchen thought this was how we wanted our proteins cooked after being served a piece of raw salmon the night before. We went off site for dinner our last night there, and the hotel was able to provide transportation as we did not rent a car. Many other guests did and I would recommend doing so for such a remote area, particularly if you are staying for longer than a few nights. Overall, the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and did not overlook small details when trying to make our stay memorable. This property is as beautiful and relaxing as advertised.

I am a hotel reviewer who has stayed at thousands of hotels around the world, so when I say El Perdido blew me away, I truly mean it. I’m not easy to impress to this degree but wow. This hotel feels like a mini Four Seasons - but far more intimate, with just seven villas, and surprisingly more affordable. From the moment you arrive, you find surprises everywhere: from the DIY guacamole in your room to the nighttime fire pit with marshmallows to roast - your day is filled with whimsical experiences. I have genuinely never seen desert landscaping this lush, thoughtful, and beautifully executed. The cacti, winding paths, trees, and flowers create a living ecosystem that attracts an incredible variety of birds. Watching them each morning from my outdoor bathtub felt like a private Nat Geo episode unfolding in real time. The pool is perfection. It sparkles, and the temperature is exactly right - not too cold, not too warm - which meant I could move in and out of the water all day without ever wanting to leave. The villas themselves are architecturally stunning and designed as a series of micro-environments. Each space feels intentional and immersive, whether it’s the living room, the outdoor patio with a telescope, or yes, the bathtub again. I really loved the bathtub. What truly blew me away, though, was the sunset watchtower with 360 views. And below?! A huge jacuzzi grotto unlike anything I have ever experienced. You can actually free dive into a 10-foot plunge cave in the center. It was a totally-included spa experience, no extra charge. Love that. The cherry on top is their new Coyote restaurant. The indigenous-inspired dishes were so good I would happily eat there every single day of the week. El Perdido has officially secured a spot in my top 10 hotels in Mexico. Between the design, the landscape, the food, and the sense of peaceful luxury, it offers something incredibly rare - a place that feels both deeply grounding and truly special. I cannot wait to return.

Absolutely amazing staff - beautiful space. Elizebeth the GM, was so incredibly helpful. I made a reservation for the wrong days and she want above and beyond to find me a place until my stay. She drove me to another hotel. I would suggest this place to anyone. Pictures do not do it justice…. Amazing. 11/10

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with such a warm and wonderful welcome. Elizabeth and her team were truly outstanding—their kindness and attention made our stay unforgettable.||There hospitality first class. |The beautiful boutique hotel amazing architectural design. It felt so relax ||Their hospitality was truly first-class. The boutique hotel is stunning, with amazing architectural design, and the atmosphere made us feel completely relaxed.

We toured most of the upscale lodging around the Todos Santos area and found that nothing measured up to El Perdido, which seems to crystalize the best things about this quiet little corner of the southern Baja peninsula. Everything -- the food, the drinks, the fragrances, the flora, the architecture, the service -- is tasteful without being overwrought. We can't wait to get back and hang around with Elizabeth, Reynaldo, Daphne, Clara, and the rest of the Perdido team.

What a superb property! Amazing mix of the old and the new, lots of poured and polished concrete combined with traditional ‘jacale’ style building techniques. It worked really well. We visited with our 3 adult children and had a blast.||Rooms are stunning, very high quality and super spacious (we had 2 deluxe rooms) and the whole property is a real oasis in the desert. The planting is amazing and the whole property is really well maintained.||Food is great (particularly the breakfasts), but the lunch menu is quite limited (that said we ate there twice and really enjoyed it).||Service is top drawer - Luis, Bruno and Elisabeth (manager) all excellent. Very warm, friendly and full of helpful information.||Very peaceful - do not come expecting any wild nights, it is not Cabo but is all the better for that. If you want wild nights, there are plenty of bars and some great restaurants at nearby Todos Santo or Los Cerritos beach.||All in all our favourite place in Baja Sur (we also stayed at the Baja Club in La Paz and The nearby Hotel San Cristobal (both nice but not a patch on El Perdido).

Incredible location, lost in the middle of the desert, incredible architecture every single detail is carefully crafted for the hotel. It is very clear that owner and management team have poured their hearts and souls into this. There is no other word that comes to mind rather than impeccable. If you are lookin for a perfect retreat look no more, it is here this is the place.||Everyone on the hotel revolves to give you a great experience, we went on slow season and the hotel is fully staffed and ready to make you feel like royalty. They were also spot on with local recommendations for dinner, yoga, wellness, recommended hikes etc. Special thanks and shot out to Elizabeth and Bruno who did an outstanding service!

El Perdido Desert Dream is a special hotel with an unforgettable atmosphere. It has the kind of vibe that makes you slow down, breathe deeper, and truly relax. The staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The food was fresh and creative; the beds were cozy, and our room had its own private outdoor bath/sanctuary, though I don't know if that is case for all the rooms. The whole experience was a treat. I am already planning a return.
