Sea Of Cortez October 16-23, 2007 Trip Report This was my/our first trip to the Sea Of Cortez. The trip was a scouting trip for the local dive store to see about taking trips down there in place of Cozumel. We decided to use Club Cantamar Sports Lodge & and their on site vendor Baja Diving & Services. The only... more

Went for 5 nights and 4 days of diving with a group of 15. October is high season so hotel and boats were full. Up to 35 divers on boat with 2 divemasters, though 20 to 25 divers was more typical. They have 3 fast boats and one very slow boat. Boats left the dock between 8:30 and 9:00 am... more

No problems with the infrastructure of the resort. The food was ok, no complaints. The Cantamar dive boats broke down literally every day. Newly arrived divers are placed on a boat that broke down yesterday, the day before yesterday and the day before that... The boats are cattle calls and very slow, if they run at all. Dive boats from... more

As an expierenced traveling diver/group leader of dive trips since the mid 1970's I have visited many dive resorts in all parts of the world. If you remember what Club Cantamar is( a dive resort ) it ranks as one of the best I have seen. It is not intended to be a 5 star resort with unlimited food and... more

Why Baja? Well, the original brief was to find a diving location that was convenient for pre- and post-holiday work commitments in North America and likely to be unaffected by the hurricanes that usually hit the Caribbean in the autumn. This requirement recurs each year so we wanted to see if this would be a place to which we would... more

9 of us flew down from LAX on Delta/Express Jet, and the Club's Van's were waiting for us. Unfortunately, they wanted to wait for the Alaska Airlines Flight from LAX about 30 minutes behind us, and we waited in the sweltering heat (in the van with A/C, but still hot). We rented the Jr. Suite, and the room was nice... more

This hotel is located about 10 miles from the city of La Paz. The hotel offers a shuttle service to town, leaving at around 6:00 pm, and will pick you up at 9:30 pm. The only problem with this is that, if you buy the all-inclusive package, you will not be back in time for dinner. Unfortunately, with the all-inclusive... more

Rooms are very clean but cheap. I had to keep my windows open all the time because the room had a very strong smell of diesel or paint thinner--I'm not sure. I only ate the breakfast that was included with the room, but it was less than ordinary. My main complaint is the location of the hotel--across the street from... more

Cantamar is a supposedly a great resort for scuba divers. If you aren't going to dive, this place is not for you. The comments in other reviews about the front desk staff's lack of knowledge are typical and not exaggerated. No one at the desk seemed to provide accurate info. We booked a snorkling daytrip upon arrival at the hotel... more
