The addition of 158 accommodations to the all-suite resort include beautifully decorated penthouses and oceanfront suites that overlook the Sea of Cortez and surrounding islands. Designed by Guadalajara-based interior designer Marisol Tafich Santos, the penthouses and suites feature a variety of warm earth tones, light-colored rugs and handmade lamps that echo Loreto's pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. Every guest accommodation includes a kitchen and provides families, honeymooners and groups with all the amenities of home.
