I have stayed at La Fonda several times and frequenty stop there for a drink or a meal on my way to Ensenda, probably 6 times per year or more. This last time we stopped for a meal, I left my iPhone on the table (paid $500 for it!) left for 5 minutes and it was stolen by the staff.... more

We were a group of 12 dining there on a Saturday night. The ambience was nice; they had a band playing Latin Music, which was very enjoyable. However, here are the problems that I encountered. They try to "Jam" 12 people into a 10-person space. I couldn't "fit" at the table. If they would have something other than these "Wide-Armed-Wicker... more

Not but a few years ago La Fonda was a great place to enjoy for all its charm. (good or bad depending on your taste) I just can't help but feel disgusted by the new changes. The semi-live band/music machine, light show, all of the glass wind breaks with the "la fonda" etching and now plastic chairs?? Even a La... more

I have to preface this commentary by saying I have been coming to La Fonda for years, and like many have felt a twinge if disappointment since Dymetri and Sara sold the place a few years ago. No, the new owners are not as involved with the guest. No, there is no more Ruben the Maitre'd promising everybody "the best... more

I titled this review "Baja-Friendly" because this hotel is NOT for people accustomed to fluff. However, if you care more about the charm of Baja and the friendly people than a few amenities, this is for you. My husband and I have been staying here for years. The restaurant is fantastic and the rooms are simple, clean, and you can't... more

My husband and our neighbor did the Rosarita/Ensenada bike ride. His wife and I enjoyed the spa. For some people, the hotel might be a little rustic. It is true, there is no TV, but why would you want it with the view from your room. We went to sleep with the sound of the ocean waves and watched dolphins... more

We have always made sure to plan a stay at La Fonda on the way to AND from Cabo and points south.. even a few trips from Los Angeles solely for a dinner and Creme Brulee! Breakfast on the patio with CocoLopez covered pancakes while watching dolphins play in the surf, the individually unique and private rooms, a warm fire... more

I am suprised at some of the negative reviews for La Fonda. It is a kitchy, unique place, not standardized like a Holiday Inn so if that is what you are looking for keep on looking. If you are looking for a property with quaint, interesting rooms (both in decor and materials) with great views and a 60sec walk to... more

Let me start out by saying we adore La Fonda...I have been coming here for nearly 20 years with family, friends, my (now) husband....it's a truly magical place, and the staff is wonderful. That's why we got married here in the summer of 2008.... However, we were shocked at how unbelievably incompetent their wedding coordinator was.... She is the person... more
