Top Balandra Beach Hotel Reviews

 Orchid House Baja & Beach Club

Orchid House Baja & Beach Club

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved our stay here! What stood out the most was how attentive and welcoming the staff were. The hotel had a very intimate, boutique feel, and it truly felt like everyone was there to make sure we had everything we needed. We especially loved having breakfast delivered to our room every morning. Ordering was quick and easy, and it was such a nice way to start the day without having to leave our bungalow. The pool was beautiful, especially with the incredible sunset views. The beach club was also a highlight, they offered drinks and food, and we had our own designated section of the beach, which made the experience feel very relaxing and private. Our bungalow was so cute and cozy and had everything we needed, especially the AC, which was definitely appreciated! Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing, intimate getaway with great service. 10/10 would recommend"

"The complex and amenities are excellent. The customer service from the front desk is exceptional. It is a big complex and you need to be transported by golf cart from place to place but it is not a problem because someone always answers at the front desk. The restaurants are delicious. We dined at Carbon and the views were spectacular. Will definitely stay here again."

"Our stay at Casa Royce was excellent. The view is impressive. Great place to disconnect and enjoy nature.The location might be a bit remote but it is what we wanted plus it is right around the corner of the best beaches (Playa Balandra and Playa Tecolote). Host is very attentive, we received responses within minutes if not immediately. We appreciated the chairs, umbrellas and snorkeling equipment in addition to all kitchen equipment. We are plan on returning."

"The home was exactly as described and as shown on VRBO. It is located in a gated community and has been well maintained. We were able to experience wonderful sunsets from the balcony and have our meals outside as well. The bedrooms were spacious and every bedroom had its own bathroom, which was amazing and I think it’s a great home for a large family travelling or a group of friends"
