At Hotel Vista Cerralvo, we promise to keep the spirit of “Old Mexico” alive with traditional Mexican style charm and customer service. We'll remain purposely small to mirror other East Cape pioneers who have set the standard for over six decades in Baja California Sur.
We’re located on the Las Arenas side of La Paz, in the La Ventana Bay of Baja California Sur Mexico. Our Resort is rightfully named Vista Cerralvo, which means “View of Cerralvo”. The legendary Cerralvo Island lies directly in front of our beachfront location, just 6.5 miles out. Our resort will cater to all sportsmen with activities ranging from Sportfishing & Diving, to Kiteboarding & Windsurfing, yet offer other activities for the entire family. You and your family can lay out poolside at our oceanfront swimming pool, while enjoying a spectacular view of Cerralvo Island, and La Ventana Bay. Our rustic suites or bungalows will transform you back to the days of the old Baja traveler, with a complete lack and feel of a Cabo or La Paz corporate style hotel. Isla Cerralvo is the southernmost island in t.

”Less Boat Ride, More Fishing Time...”
If you’re torn between Sportfishing out of La Paz, or other East Cape resorts, then your prayers have been answered! Our Baja Sportfishing Resort in BajaMexico is located where La Paz’ Las Arenas side overlaps
with the East Cape region of Baja California Sur Mexico. Don’t be on
the last boat out to the fishing grounds! Hotel Vista Cerralvo is just
minutes away from the world famous Cerralvo Island, the 88 Bank, Roca
Montana, Punta Arena, Punta Perico, El Bajo, La Reina, La Reinita, Las
Cruces, Muertos Bay, & El Sargento!
Fishing this area from La Paz is a 75 mile round trip boat ride to the north end of Cerralvo. From Los Barriles, it’s also a 75 mile round trip boat ride to the southern end of Cerralvo. Other hotels do offer shuttle services back and forth through the desert mountain roads to reach our area, but it’s a two hour round trip! When your boat returns to Hotel Vista Cerralvo, you can first grab an ice cold drink, then grab your fly rod or spinning gear and continue fishing for Roosterfish, Jack Crevalle, Pompano, Pargo, and Cabrilla right from our beachfront on foot, kayak, or ATV! It’s very common to see huge Roosters and Jacks crashing baitfish right from our beachfront location. All pelagic gamefish entering the Sea of Cortez must first pass Cerralvo Island, while migrating both in and out of the Sea of Cortez.

This region is a haven for Baja Fly Fishing enthusiasts in pursuit of a world record, or the fish of a lifetime! After all, the World Record Roosterfish of 114 pounds was caught just a few miles from our resort! The crystal clear waters in the Cerralvo Channel are without a doubt, one the most fish rich bodies of water in the world! Jacques Cousteau called the Sea of Cortez “The World’s Aquarium”. The Cerralvo Region is one of the best for Kayak Fishing in all of Baja.
These waters are home to one of the biggest varieties of inshore and offshore gamefish found anywhere on the planet! Target species range from Blue, Black, and Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Dorado, Yellowfin Tuna, Roosterfish, Jack Crevalle (Toro), Amberjack, Yellowtail, Pargo, Pompano, Grouper, and many others!
Here’s the Bottom line…
less boat ride,
more fishing time!
Don’t spend precious hours of your dream vacation getting to the fishing grounds! Stay with us and fish longer! This area is completely overshadowed by other East Cape resorts, which keeps our location one of Baja’s best kept secrets!

If you are a Kiteboarding or Windsurfing enthusiast, you know that the La Ventana and El Sargento area is the top destination in all of Baja’s East Cape Region! In fact, the La Ventana bay is considered one of the top Windsport destinations on the planet! Sportfishing and Windsurf widows, will love our beachfront swimming pool area! They can even take advantage of our daily scheduled shuttle trips to La Paz for a little shopping spree on the malecon. If you’re looking to mix it up a bit… Ocean Kayaking, Diving, Snorkeling, Mountain Biking, ATV Riding, Horseback Riding, and Windsports are other activities you can take advantage of when your boat returns from a day of fishing. The name 'La Paz' means peace... And the City of La Paz was ranked the 3rd safest city in all of North America by the Bureau of Tourism in 2011... And yes, that includes the United States!
