La Posada Hotel and Beach Club is a resort-style property near the Malecón that gives La Paz a rare touch of holiday-hotel indulgence. It has two outdoor pools and a separate children's pool, a hot tub, a poolside bar, a restaurant, a terrace and gardens, and a spa that offers massage, facials, manicures and pedicures. Rooms are individually furnished with air conditioning, safes, refrigerators, balconies, laptop-friendly workspaces and free fast Wi-Fi, and a free breakfast is part of the stay. Staff include a concierge who can help with tour and ticket bookings, and the hotel has an elevator, a porter service and a 24-hour front desk. Guests praise the helpful staff, and the scale suits couples and families who want to rest between boat days.
Location and getting around
The Malecón and the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Guadalupe are nearby, so the seafront promenade, the ice cream shops and the sunset walk are within reach. Taxis are easy to find for Balandra, Pichilingue and whale shark departures, and the concierge can help organise the Espiritu Santo day trip, snorkelling and kayaking. Parking may be available, but confirm it with the hotel before you arrive if you are driving the peninsula.
What the stay is like
This is a place to unwind. Mornings begin with breakfast, the pools fill by late morning and the poolside bar is a pleasant place for a lime-and-salt afternoon. The hot tub and spa add comfort after long days in the sun and sea, and beach towels are provided for outings.
Quiet hours run from ten in the evening to eight in the morning, so the grounds are peaceful at night. The hotel also offers wedding services and a meeting room, which means groups sometimes visit, so ask about events if you want a tranquil weekend.
Who it suits and good to know: couples, families with young children, friends travelling together and anyone who wants resort comforts in La Paz without leaving the city. Pets are allowed for a per-stay fee plus a one-time cleaning fee, and service animals are exempt. Children are welcome, though rollaway beds and cribs are not available, so check your needs before you book.
Check-in begins in the afternoon and check-out is before noon, with late check-out subject to availability and a fee. Guest scores are very good, but read recent comments for room condition and noise. Rates are among the higher ones in the guide, rise in winter and holiday weeks and vary by room category, so compare dates and check the cancellation terms when you reserve.
