Beautiful spot in La Ventana / El Sargento

Gorgeous casitas overlooking the bay. Boutique resort on the beach with kitesurfing, kayaking or SUP. Each villa has privacy and a spacious interior. Stunning sunrises and moon rises from the patio. Nice breakfasts at the restaurant or kitchenette in the casita. Loved it. A special private place.

This the jewel of the Baja. This resort is amazing! The views for the casitas are amazing, our casita is private had a nice private outside shower, two lounge chairs, and a table with chairs for morning coffee or afternoon margaritas. The staff is friendly and willing to help with anything you need. The beach is PERFECT, not crowded, in fact if we saw 3 other people we were surprised. The food is amazing! This beach is perfect! La Ventana is a great little sleepy village with great food, friendly people and a high number of expats. The drive to La Paz is easy, just look out for the Mexican police leaving La Paz in the afternoon. They’ll try to shake you down for money, all you tell them is “I know I’ll get into trouble and so will you if I pay here. Take me to your station and I’ll gladly pay the ticket.” More than likely he’ll say, “No ticket”, and let you go. All in all a great resort. We’ll be back next year.

A fine property with friendly management. La Ventana/El Sargento is a premier kiteboarding and wingfoiling destination, so it that's what you're here for, this is a very good spot because of its large stretch of beach open for guests only. That makes for less crowded water, which reduces collisions and accidents with tangled lines and less experienced boarders. The public areas farther to the south have many more kites and foils. This property also offers gear and lessons through independent and experienced instructors; also whale watching tour boats can pick you up on the beach by arrangement. I caught sunrise on the beach here every day. A downside of the property is that beyond breakfast, there are no food options, but that is not really a big deal because not too far away, by walking up or down the beach, there are good and affordable restaurants. With a car or farther walking (along the dusty main road), there are many good (even excellent) restaurants "in town"; small grocery stores also have food you can keep in your room in the small fridge. The township area is generally safe because it is in the best interests of the locals and other powers-that-be not to upset the tourist & windsport economy that is the lifeblood of this area. Overall, a fine experience here and if I were to come back to this part of Baja, I'd gladly stay here again.

I had an amazing time at this resort during my yearly kitesurfing trip. The bungalow in which I stayed was clean and comfortable. The restaurant had a great view of the ocean and there was even an upper deck bar. The beach was easily accessible and there was a kite school on the premises. However, the best part of my experience was the staff. From the General Manager, Tony, to everyone else, they made me feel at home. I will definitely be returning to this wonderful place for years to come.

Had an amazing time at Ventana Bay Resort! Photos don’t do this hotel justice - the rooms, views and grounds are spectacular! You’re able to kiteboard right from the beach, which is one of the most expansive ones in the area. The casita was very comfortable and equipped with everything needed for a long stay. Enjoyed watching fish jump in the mornings while the waters were calm and kiting in the evening when the wind picked up. Nelly did an incredible job accommodating us and assisting with booking activities. Highly recommend staying here if you’re traveling to La Ventana!
