If James Hilton were alive today, he would stay at Arriba de la Roca. This panoramic vista has all
the magic and mystique of the legendary Shangri-la in the author's "Lost Horizon." Situated high above the mesmerizing Pacific Ocean, with the craggy Sierra de la Laguna mountains as a backdrop, this is the place to relax, reflex and rejuvenate. Most vacations leave you with fond memories; a stay at Arriba de la Roca leaves you with a new perspective on life. The hosts are gracious; the food is great; and the atmosphere is soothing. I can't wait to return.

We went to Arriba de la Roca to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. We were completely impressed with every aspect of our stay there and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, beautiful vacation.
*The view is incredible...no words can describe. Even a photo cannot capture how truly amazing the view is.
*The room was perfectly appointed with everything from beach towels, robes, and make up mirror to the beautiful furnishings. Loved the little touches like the nightly turn down service as well.
*Also, there is more food and drink than we could have imagined. Lovely breakfast tray when you wake up, full cooked breakfast (which is more like brunch) and appetizers that were as big as most dinners :) And the drinks were flowing constantly...margaritas were amazing!
Shelby and Mauricio were always around to wait on every need we had, but were out of sight behind the scenes to give us privacy. We really enjoyed getting to know them during our stay. They truly made our anniversary one to remember. Can't wait to return!!

Perched atop a cliff, Arriba de la Roca, captivates the moment it is viewed. From the sparkling ocean to the sparkling stars, the views go on forever! The hosts, Shelby and Maurice, are warm & welcoming-- they will make sure that you are comfortable and equipped with everything you need, and then will give you the space to enjoy your stay.
I enjoyed all of the personal touches in our casita, from locally made lotions to chocolate on the pillow. You can lounge by the pool, or walk down to the beach. You can watch the local fishermen, or you can explore Todos Santos and the surrounding area. Or maybe one of our favorites-- just relaxing with the view and a cocktail or two. And there's something indulgent about opening your door in the morning to find a tray waiting for you-- and that's just to tide you over 'til breakfast! Shelby & Maurice can help with suggestions and arrangements for your visit. If you need anything, the hosts will do their best to provide it. It's a perfect blend of luxury and intimacy.

My husband and I didn't want to leave!

What a breathtakingly beautiful place. Maurice and Shelby's attention to every detail and their service is impeccable. My travels have taken me to many lovely and elegant resorts over the years and Arriba de la Roca is now my favorite. From my private suite I would listen to the waves crashing against the shore and be lulled into a peaceful sleep. In the mornings I would watch the sunrise over the mountains, while never leaving my bed. Fabulous food and great drinks make this place a great bargain. Can not wait to go back!
