Hotel NUEVO PEKIN: Like Being in Chinatown

While in La Paz this weekend, I had the afternoon to myself, so walked around and looked at a couple hotels and restaurants for VT. I had not realized that this wonderful Chinese restaurant is also a hotel! They have been at this location for 25 years! Difficult to resist the wonderful aromas when I looked at the room.

It is a very secure location and right on the Malecon. The room I was shown was bright and bigger than a lot I have been in here, with bath around a corner, which gives lots of privacy, also with dressing area there; TV and air-conditioned.

I was quoted only US$35.00!!! and just a little more for double.

Hosteria Del Convento: Budget accomodation

The rooms are old and dark, and there is clutter at the end of the courtyard. A pity really ........with some new paint and proper lighting and a nice uncluttered courtyard this place could definitely attract more guests because it does have a central location.. We stayed just one night and moved to Pension California the following day.

Unique Quality: The dollar store is just across the street........snacks, drinks, stationery and misc. $1 items.

Nuevo Hotel Pekin: Right on the malecon

I entered La Paz with three criteria for a hotel; 1) it had to be near the malecon, 2) it had to be away from Americanos, 3) it had to have a balcony.. What I got was the Nuevo Hotel Pekin. There I was, a gringo in Mexico staying at a Chinese hotel.

This is a genuinely Chinese owned hotel with the new proprietors being immigrants from mainland China. They speak no english but some Spanish. The staff as well speak no english.Tthere is an upscale restaurant on the ground floor. Parking was on-street.

My room was on the second floor overlooking the bay. Though I didn't have a balcony, there was a wide ledge at window height for laying back and observing the view. The malecon never sleeps with a constant parade of excersizers. Some would catch me watching them and wave.

The accomadations are clean but basic. Not to be compared with the Los Arcos. The Nuevo Pekin is for those who are willing to sacrifice luxory for seperation from the tourist crowds.

Unique Quality: The layout is most unique with a central hallway with small offshoot pathways leading to your room. A series of short staiways leads to the roof where a treetop view of the surrounding area is enjoyed.

Though served by the staff, I met the owner the next morning. Their son was was a rambunctious four year. We enjoyed some conversation and pictures. What this hotel may lack is more then made up for in friendliness. The price was an outrageously low $35 and the location fantastic.

Las Cabanas de los Arcos: Lovely poolside cabanas

Great service and good accommodations in a cozy but very comfortable poolside cabana near the malecon (Paseo Obregon). Not "5-star spectacular" but very attractive.

Hotel Junipero: We stayed at Hotel Junipero in...

We stayed at Hotel Junipero in Loreto, which is nothing special. We were lucky to have a room downstairs. We heard that there wasn't enough water pressure to get hot water in the upstairs rooms. The rooms have oil lamps for when the power goes out.

Unique Quality: We also camped at several different empty beaches along the route from Loreto to La Paz: Santa Martha, north of Los Dolores, Isla San Jose, San Francisco and Isla Espiritu Santo.

In La Paz we stayed at Hotel Los Arcos, which is a three or four star hotel with a pool, restaurant, bar, sauna and our favorite amenity, hot showers!

Our 10 day trip was $1195 USD per person, which included the hotels, all camping equipment, use of boats & snorkel equipment and all meals & drinks while camping.
