The hype
Travelers adore the 'Old Mexico' vibe and the helpful staff, but many feel the maintenance (especially the pool and plumbing) is slipping.
Posada De Las Flores Loreto
$140-265 / gabi
I-book ito kung You want to stay in the literal heart of Loreto in a photogenic colonial mansion and don't mind sacrificing some modern polish for atmosphere.
Bakit Ito Minamahal ng Mga Tao
- Unbeatable location directly on Plaza Cívica next to the Mission
- Stunning 'Pink Palace' colonial architecture with heavy wood doors and ironwork
- Rooftop terrace with views of the Sierra de la Giganta mountains
Mabilis na Sumisid: It’s a beautiful museum piece that sometimes forgets it’s a functioning hotel—expect charm, but also expect plaza noise and a pool that might be more 'decorative' than swimmable.
Sinuri ng @Twintravel.03: I stayed in this 200-year-old pink hotel and it felt like a movie set. The rooftop pool views at sunset are unforgettable, and I loved that I could bring my dog along! It's the perfect mix of history and comfort.

FAQ & Mga Nakatagong Tip
Lahat ng kailangan mong malaman bago ka magbook.

Does the hotel have an elevator?
No. It is a historic two-story building with stairs only.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, a simple continental breakfast is included, usually consisting of fruit, yogurt, bread, and coffee.
How far is the beach?

Is there a gym or spa?
No gym. Spa services are limited to in-room massages upon request; there is no dedicated spa facility.
Mga Insider Tips
- ✨
The rooftop terrace is open even if the bar is closed—bring your own wine for a private sunset view over the Mission.
- ✨
Ask for a room with a 'balcony'—some Junior Suites have small Juliette balconies opening to the square.
- ✨
The spiral staircase to the roof is tight; ask staff for help with luggage if you're on the top floor.
5 bagay na dapat mong malaman bago ka umalis
💡The 'glass bottom' of the pool is visible from the lobby ceiling—so don't swim in anything too revealing.
💡Hot water can be temperamental and take a long time to arrive in the shower.
💡The ground floor rooms have very little privacy if you open the curtains, as they face the central courtyard.
💡Wifi speeds are surprisingly good (50+ Mbps) for a historic building.
💡You might spot cockroaches in the courtyard at night—it's the tropics, but still worth noting.
