We loved everything about the property but know that this is a small community (dirt road, no large grocery store, not many amenities) and that the rooms do not have kitchens (there was a small refrigerator in our room). There are a couple good restaurants within 15 minutes walking distance up & down the beach.

Beautiful eco-resort nestled amongst the cacti and bougainvillea of El Sargento. If you are looking for a quiet, small B&B style accommodation on a rarely visited beach (aside from kite boarders in the windy season) at the end of a dirt road, look no further. While this property is definitely not for everyone, it was a perfect resting place for us to recharge, rent kayaks to explore the bay, do yoga, and relax. We barely saw any other travelers during our trip and really enjoyed the peace and quiet that Ventana Bay Resort provides.

It’s uniqueness

I couldn’t get the hot water in the shower to adjust well. The shower itself was spacious and stunning with glass block in the walls.

It was peaceful and beautiful. Short stroll to the beach. The room was really lovely. The bed was super comfortable and there was a lovely domed ceiling with a skylight. Quality everything.

I didn’t like there was no dinner option. I wish there was a hot tub or a small pool. Again I wish there were some chaises at the beach.

We love that it was on the beach and very intimate. 15 rooms I believe. We stayed in a superior ocean view Casita. Super comfortable, great views, huge bathroom, really clean and nice. We were traveling with another couple who were right next-door, which made it very nice. Breakfast was very good, I wish they had chaises at the beach. We’re not windsurfers, and it felt like most ghuests were. The Ventana Beach area was really all about it - fun to watch. Springis the wnd season. . Breezy in the afternoons :-) So afternoons are windy but the rest of the time was quite beautiful.

Would have liked to have had more meal and beverage options (lunch, dinners, afternoon snacks, drinks, ice).

The property is charming, very relaxing and beautiful landscaped. The rooms were perfect. The staff were lovely- welcoming and helpful and the location was perfect.

We loved it all. Overlooking the ocean from our bed and terrace, comfortable bed, beautifully designed villas, outstanding grounds and incredibly friendly staff. It somehow manages to be simultaneously elegant and homey. We will be recommending Ventana Bay Resort to family and friends and will definitely be returning.

almost nothing! Any issues I had were with other guests who were more focused on getting their kiting in than on maintaining the mellow vibe!

We loved our stay at Ventana Bay Resort! I'm not a wind sports person, but the grounds were so lovely and peaceful, just hanging out at our bungalow watching the birds, sipping coffee, reading and lounging was extremely restorative. Easy stroll to the beach where we could jump into the water for a quick snorkel and swim. Didn't have time to take a kayak out (as wind sports folx know, in March it gets super windy by 11ish) but that kept the temperature pleasant and great for beach walking, hiking (many trails around!) and visiting the hot springs just a bit up the beach. We got a chance to try dinner the night we arrived and it was absolutely delicious - carefully prepared and plentiful. Breakfast everyday was lovely - highly recommend the huevos rancheros. Really enjoyed the shared and unstaffed rooftop "bar" for morning sunrise watching, general hanging out. Lots of thoughtful shared spaces and amenities (books, videos and games, binoculars and sunscreen). It's just a short 5 min drive from busier parts of El Sargento/La Ventana, easy to find food and snacks and so nice to come home to the quiet of our bungalow. The brickwork cupolas, solid wood built-ins and meandering stone pathways are designed with intention and constructed with beautiful craftsmanship. We always felt both comfortable and low key delighted to be amid beauty and nature.

Such a peaceful and quiet getaway. Rejuvenating after being in chaotic Los Cabos. Beautiful property and ocean view bungalow 3 was very comfortable, clean, spacious and nicely appointed. Private outdoor space was lovely. Toni the owner was a great help and was very kind. We appreciated him arranging a private whale/dolphin and snorkeling boat trip that picked us up right at the property beach, and I enjoyed a most relaxing massage in my room. Food was good although we only tried breakfast. Location suited us well. Snorkeled right at beach. Not just for avid kite surfers.

Wi-Fi was not so great… but the beach was so fun it didn’t matter.

Amazing kiteboarding paddle boarding, wing foiling lessons, beautiful sunsets, very private and peaceful place to stay. The beach is steps away.

Internet is decent but with issues.

The property has direct access to the beach.

Nothing wrong honestly. Maybe a every night open bar and restaurant would be nice.

I love this place! I have been coming since 2018 and every year there is always some improvement! Right on your exclusive beach! Amazing school managed by Marty and Jill. My first kitesurfing lessons in 2018 and this year first Foil Wing steps. Always followed by the instructor on a jet ski to avoid loosing time on the beach walking back to the starting point. Lovely breakfast and perfect light lunch every day. Top resort!!!

What’s not to like?

The property is ideally located with several room options. Privacy is excellent. Noise is minimal and never an issue. The beach is very close and easy to access. The staff was very helpful and responsive to our needs. They provided helpful information prior to our arrival. All things considered Ventana Bay resort is one of our all time favorites for a quiet, relaxing and enjoyable escape from typical beach resorts.

The restaurant on site serves breakfast and lunch only with prior reservations. With no walkable nearby restaurants it would be nice to have a restaurant/bar open for dinner. We were disappointed in our small room when we first checked in as last time we had a much larger room. But we had plenty of room for two and the privacy and good sleep in the comfortable bed was amazing. Softer pillows would be very nice.

Wonderful accommodating staff! Beautiful property on the ocean. Very comfortable beds and soft sheets. Our room was very private and the stars were amazing at night. Hot water in the shower and good water pressure. Plenty of drawers and hangers for clothing. Amazing cold mini fridge, small but workable.

We liked everything.

This resort is a hidden gem. We loved our stay and felt like we had the resort to ourselves. There were a few other rooms booked but we hardly ever saw anyone. The top floor bar which is open 24/7 and on the honor system was so nice. The breeze was great and NO ONE was ever there but the four of us. The restaurant which is on the second floor was lovely also. The two ladies that not only clean the rooms but cook are so pleasant and our lunch was one of the best. We all ordered either a wrap or tacos made with our choice of fish were wonderful. Tony the Manager was on top of and and everything. We had our own car but choose to use Memito as our taxi driver each evening for our dinners in town. The water is super clear and the beach is great for walking.

not much to not like -- if i had to say something maaaaayybe brighter patio lighting on our bungalow? But really everything was great!

The location was right on the beach, with perfect access. The staff was very friendly, and the experience was super hands off. They run off a honor system that was refreshing to use. It really felt like you were out there on your own which we loved. We had the beach view bungalow, great view of the sunrise! The outdoor shower was perfect as we were diving and spearfishing as our main acitivities. They have bikes, kayaks and paddle boards for rent. Just a great place, the manager Toni was so friendly and attentive - he was always available on whats app, though we only texted like 3 times - not sure if this place is for people who need more hand holding, but Toni seems like the guy who is willing to make many situations work, no problem without a solution! Thanks for the great stay! Can't wait to come back.

That we couldn’t stay forever!

What can I say? my wife and I arrived as guests and left as friends. In all our travelling, we have never been treated with such genuine hospitality. From checking in to checking out, nothing could have been too much to ask. Tony, you are an incredible host, the simple but honest and professional care you provide all day long is invaluable. Nelly and the rest of the team is also what makes Ventana Bay Resort the jewel that it is. It was so great we had to extend our stay:). And so that other travelers can be aware: One has to open and close the front gate, carry their own paddleboard or kayak to the shore, help themselves at the bar and write down what they used and yet, this is what makes it home.

Can’t think of anything.

Breakfast was great. Location is perfect. Right on beach but enough trees to block the strong winds. Even a little snorkeling out front when the air is calm.
