What to expect: Fiesta Inn is part of the 203-hectare (500 acre) master-planned CostaBaja development with a 250-slip double-basin marina. The development, being constructed in phases, also comprises privately owned vacation villas and condominiums. The peaceful La Paz area is a relative newcomer to the hospitality business, so guests may find the pace slower than in more touristy Mexican cities.

Amenity highlights: Fringed by palm trees are a freeform outdoor pool and an adjacent children’s pool. The hotel restaurant offers international and Mexican cuisine, and both the restaurant and bar provide indoor and outdoor seating. The complimentary fitness center has a rooftop lap pool.

Guests have use of a 24-hour business center and hotel-wide complimentary wireless Internet access. Complimentary scheduled shuttles serve downtown La Paz.
