Fodor's Expert Review Casa Farolito

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Sheltered within the beachfront gated community of San Antonio del Mar, this B&B is the perfect introduction to Baja Norte with bright rooms, ocean views, delightful breakfasts, and welcome margaritas the moment you step foot in the door. The friendly hosts Lorraine and Peter have turned their lovely home into Rosarito’s best accommodation, with four bedrooms in the main house and an attached studio apartment. Thoughtful touches range from blackout shades and bathrobes to high-quality bedding and a DVD library. Other than the more affordable Frida room, all come with a private bathroom, security safe, Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. Lorraine’s background in interior design is evident in the Mexican tiles and pottery that decorate each room. If available, splurge for the bottom level suite with a private Jacuzzi and direct beach access. Served on the open terrace, the enormous breakfasts—ranging from banana pancakes to huevos rancheros—can hold you over until dinner. The owners cater to dental patients who come to Tijuana for affordable treatments, meaning transportation, soft meals, and massages can be arranged upon request.
