Paradero Hotel

There is something to be said about being off the grid.  Cell service is shaky, forcing you to disconnect.  Staying in a remote location making you appreciate the amenities that surround you.  And with no vehicle to get around, you really have to appreciate everything!  Such was the case on my recent visit to Baja California by ways of both Todos Santos and San Jose Del Cabo.  My first two nights in beautiful Baja California; where the desert meets the ocean, was at Paradero Hotel.  A luxurious hotel that boosts itself on its experiences it offers for its guest.  I honestly wish the experiences they offered were on a daily basis and not sporadic but, there in lies the joy of disconnecting.  The hotel did a great job of offering a brutalist design in the desert oasis.  The curvature of the buildings seemed harmonious with the mountains in the backdrop.  Upon entering, I was surprised at how quiet the hotel was!  Definitely not something you would experience if you were staying in Los Cabos.  I checked in and quickly settled in after having a delicious mezcalita upon arrival.  I indulged my palate with soft shell crab tacos, the freshest daily fish one could ever experience and even fresher juices in the morning. And of course, I had to enjoy the wine from Valle De Guadalupe .  My experiences included a morning hike that lead to ocean views on one day and outdoor yoga. I remained lazy at the hotel, enjoying a book at the pool that overlooked the desert, here and hanging out on rooftop deck of my room that offered a sneak peak of the Pacific Ocean, there. It was nice to be able to seize the opportunity and stay at Paradero. The perfect reset when one is necessary.
