Hotel Casa Tota

“Tranquil in Todos Santos”

I wanted a secure hotel to stay in Todos Santos for a concert series. Every time I passed by on other trips it always looks festive with lights on the patio outside.

I wanted a secure hotel to stay in Todos Santos for a concert series. Every time I passed by on other trips it always looks festive with lights on the patio outside. I loved my week here at Hotel Casa Tota in Todos Santos. The drinks are really good and the coffee bar is great in the am. We liked the guacamole. The terraza on the roof has a 360 view of the city and ocean. We lounged on the sofas on the upper deck, sunbathed by the pool in the interior, and enjoyed pleasant walks to the cultural arts museum, shops, and to our nightly concert series. There is a bookstore nearby too! Special thanks to Reception help from Damaris who answered all my questions and helped me secure an extra night! Great experience!

“Just ok”

The hotel was adequate. We stayed in room #7. The sink was electric to say the least. Never before have I seen this in a hotel at this price. Our granddaughter struggled with the water temp in the shower. The room was clean, small and adequate. Dogs barked in the middle of the night. Make sure… more

They do take a deposit that can subsequently be used at the adjoining restaurant. The highlights were the hot cakes with heaping amounts and fresh fruit and the latte.

“Not our cup of tea.”

For $150+++ USD per night, this "minimalist to the MAX" place misses the mark by a mile, but review the attached photos & decide for yourself. Staff were polite & courteous & the facility has solid housekeeping, but it was like going to a summer camp when you were young. VERY basic accommodations. … more

For $150+++ USD per night, this "minimalist to the MAX" place misses the mark by a mile, but review the attached photos & decide for yourself. Staff were polite & courteous & the facility has solid housekeeping, but it was like going to a summer camp when you were young. VERY basic accommodations. Mattresses rest on cement stands & the headboards & end tables are all cement. A small wooden table like something you may have built in boy/girl scouts & NOTHING else. Not a chair in sight. Bathrooms look like the plumbing fixtures never arrived. Lovely appearing place on the exterior & the bar is quite nice, with the exception of playing the music at night way too loud, & the bartender should be cautioned about stating: "we prefer our tips in cash" as soon as a guest requests the bill. We had no trouble with noise since the hotel was at least 1/2 empty, but noise would certainly be an issue if the rooms were more fully occupied. This place is yet one more example of Todos Santos being "over-priced" in general, compared to the quality provided.

“Disappointing”

This is a very attractive property with pleasant and helpful staff. That said, it was a disappointment, particularly given the price. The rooms are incredibly noisy, for one thing. Part of this is the design, with all the rooms facing a small courtyard and a tiny pool. We could hear every word said… more

This is a very attractive property with pleasant and helpful staff. That said, it was a disappointment, particularly given the price. The rooms are incredibly noisy, for one thing. Part of this is the design, with all the rooms facing a small courtyard and a tiny pool. We could hear every word said by anyone in the courtyard, where people lie out on the only furniture available and talk on their phones. But the noise problem is made worse by the fact that the room walls and floor are entirely concrete, with no soft surfaces, like cloth drapes, furniture, or wall hangings, to absorb the noise. Furthermore, our room had no chairs or other places to sit, not even one. It didn't have a coffee maker, either. These are standard features in moderately expensive lodgings world wide, but they are absent. Finally, our bathroom smelled of sewer. The odor wasn't overwhelming, but it was noticeable and caused us to leave the bathroom window open, making the courtyard noise even worse. This hotel seemed to have decided to sacrifice comfort for "modernism." We would never even consider going back.
