1) The property is quite far from the town, so you'll need a car.
2) The beach to which the property is adjacent is not swimmable.
3) The hot tubs were not cleaned properly.
4) The food was overpriced and not particularly good.
5) The rooms are not particularly good. There are a lot of rooms, the fixtures and architecture are cheap. There's no heating, which is important during the night around this time of year.
6) The bathrooms didn't feel particularly clean.

It was definitely a unique property in that it didn't feel like a chain, but it definitely didn't feel special in any way, and especially wasn't at a level worth bringing up on this sub-forum. I'd never go again.

They're building a new property called https://www.paraderohotels.com/ in Todos Santos. I'll probably go back when it opens and try it out. Seems like it might be special.
thanks Sophia - where did you stay in TS and what did you pair it with? Any additional thoughts on places to stay or eat?
