The lodgings are perfect, we rented one of the homes three bedrooms, five baths, rooftop deck with a hot tub, and do you have a golf cart to drive around the resort to go to the beach, the bars, pool, and the restaurants. Oh there is a great golf course too.

Beautiful location with a wonderful view of the water on one side. The breakfast had a great selection with a good cook that does omelettes and eggs to order. The concierge was super welcoming, valet was great and helpful. Rooms were nice, would have loved a mini fridge or microwave, maybe USB chargers but that's nitpicking. Beds were comfy. Getting through the security gate was a bit tedious but that was due to more of a language barrier. My wife had the spa service and said it was wonderful.

Absolutely fantastic place. Extremely friendly staff. Beautiful view of the Sea of Cortez. My wife and I spent the week between Christmas and New Year's here and loved it. We will be back.

We are just finishing our week here and couldn't be happier. Great environment for both families and those not visiting with children. Many activities on site and locally, take some time to research options including fishing, boat tours with whale and sea lion interactions, as well as the entertaining Malecon. Beaches are well maintained with beach service which can sometimes be a bit slow. This was our first time visiting with friends that have been coming here for years (November) and we highly recommend as a destination.

Great place to stay, safe, beautiful and the food all the way around was great. The food was expensive for being in Mexico.

What an amazing place! The location is unbeatable, a beautiful protected bay where you can enjoy the warm ocean. The pool at Blue Cortes is huge and loads of room for everyone, perfect temperature too. Food and drink prices are very reasonable and good quality. Staff super attentive. Hope yo gte Luis as your pool waiter, really friendly and excelent service. Also had a massage, around 95usd for a 50 min session but well worth it. We had a great time!
