Forgoing a traditional lobby space, La Casona, where guests enter the resort, is anchored by a large fireplace, local artwork and sweeping ocean views. On-site amenities include the El Taller Artisan Art Studio, Tierra Mar Spa with a fitness centre designed by celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak, Baja 360° Adventure Centre and Papalote Kids For All Seasons.
