Great off the beaten path location for exploring the Sol de Mayo Waterfall and the surrounding Sierra de la Laguna mountain range near the small town of Santiago. We really enjoyed the hike to the waterfall and exploring the Cañon de la Zorra (Fox Canyon) above the falls. The accommodations weren't fancy, but we did enjoy the peace and tranquility of the desert landscape and the beautiful oasis tucked away amid the arid canyon. Star gazing at night from the roof top was the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day. As a side note, if you get down to the falls early in the day, you should have the place all to yourself before the crowds/visitors from the surrounding areas show up. I would recommend calling ahead of time if you plan to eat at the Rancho or in the town of Santigo (about 20-minutes away), as we found that most places were closed on the Wednesday that we visited.

The ranch and accommodations were just as described. The cabana was comfy and clean, the kitchen is in a separate building and there is no fridge but I was able to borrow a cooler to store our food. The ranch and cabanas are powered by solar energy and on demand hot water. The food at the restaurant is creative and delicious and prepared by the chef, the prices were comparable to a good Canadian restaurant, it’s a family run operation and everyone was very friendly and accommodating.

Stay here for a restful natural retreat! Our cabana was clean and comfortable. Showers run almost hot (close enough!). We ordered breakfast and dinner daily from the onsite restaurant. The food was delicious, and they brought breakfast to our cabana so we could enjoy it on our private patio. The staff are lovely and the two resident dogs are sweethearts. What an incredible ranch in a beautiful part of Baja!

The waterfall swimming area is beautiful. Each unit has its own space and it’s very pleasant with a wonderful deck for stargazing. The goats, rabbits, turtles, donkeys and other animals are an added bonus.
This is a great place to unwind with no wifi and sporadic cell service. A great place to relax!

What a rare privilege to be able to get out under a pitch black starry night, and take a break from wifi and cell phones. This place is well worth spending at least a night at and remembering what life was like before technology ruled us. Beautiful, amazing food, very comfortable cabin and private kitchen next door with rooftop patio. Great value for what you get, kind staff. Highly recommended...to say nothing of the beautiful falls nearby, it's like being transported into a completely different world than Cabo. My only recommendation would be if they could provide lawn chairs so you could star gaze at night. Truly stunning

A hidden gem of a place, surrounded by nature. Love to go again someday.
Wonderful place to stay--very different from the usual Baja experience. The staff are friendly, the accommodations marvelous, and the food excellent. The walk to the waterfall was one of the high points of our trip. The dirt/sand road is not a problem for a normal rental car. They have a great program preserving the Ecological Preserve, including an outreach/education program. Absolutely worth the trip off the main road.

Simple accommodations right next to the waterfall. It was great staying right there and being able to thoroughly explore the area. We also didn’t expect the food on site to be so incredible. We went for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and everything was absolutely incredible. Each unit feels very private and you get a little rooftop to watch the sunset. We loved our experience here.

Drinking water not provided for a stay at a hot tropical locale. Inconceivable for a property supported by hotels.com. Place not ready at time of check in - evidently unaware we had a (fully prepaid) reservation. Staff generally surly and decidedly unhelpful, as is the property management.

This is a secluded heaven. Tell only your best friends type of place. The hike to the waterfall was intermediate but so rewarding. We hike by ourselves and when got to the waterfall we were the only ones there. The business is run by family but service is super professional and food was excellent. Look forward to visiting again and again.

Joy and Linda's Mountain Get away
This was exactly what we were looking for. It was set up to meet the needs of the guests. We loved our little unit Which was much larger than what appeared in the photos. We walked to the falls and the paths were well taken care of it was an easy 10-15 minute walk The rooster woke us in the morning The people working there were very nice and helpful.
It was also near enough to Santa Rita that we could drive to the beautiful natural hot pools in that area. (about a 30 minute drive). All in all we had a great trip!

Really unique and cool place to stay. Definitely off the beaten path and quiet but understand that there’s about 10 km of rough dirt road involved in getting here which was doable in an economy car but was pushing it. Accommodations are great including 2 brick buildings- a bedroom/bathroom in one and kitchen/dining in other with rooftop terrace. Star gazing from rooftop was memorable. Nearby waterfall and fresh water pool was also beautiful and swimable. No cell service, but that’s ok if you want to “get away from it all”. Delicious meals can be ordered or bring and cook your own. It’s a ranch so there are goats, chickens and friendly dogs on the property. Owners were friendly and accommodating.

Wonderful eco-resort near Santago BCS
Staying at the Sol De Mayo eco-resort was an incredible experience for us.
The property is very much off-road, but we completed the journey in a rental sedan in about 30 mins from Highway 1. I would not recommend the drive at night or near dusk. Google Maps gives pretty good turn-by-turn directions and there are lots of signs for the last few km.
When entering the property you check-in and are shown to your villa. Each villa has its own parking space so you don't have to use the main lot that others park in when visiting the waterfall.
The villa is spacious; it has a bathroom and bedroom in one building and a kitchen (with stove and sink) and balcony in a second building. Between the two buildings is a dedicated covered table and fire pit.
The property has a restaurant that is open for lunch each day and open for breakfast/dinner upon request. Just let them know in advance when you'd like to eat. And make sure you get the delicious chile de arbol salsa.
The waterfall is gorgeous and a very short walk from the villas. By staying at the villa, you get free access to the waterfall for the extent of you stay.
Note that you are very much within nature on this property. There are animals roaming everywhere from beautiful peacocks and a few dogs/chickens/goats/turtles to some insects and at least one snake! The snake gave us a scare but I don't know if it's actually dangerous.
I would highly recommend Sol De Mayo for other adventurous travelers.

A unique experience! Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. Easy access to the falls, and we spent an entire day exploring the surrounding canyon. The accommodations felt spacious and charming. We really enjoyed the rooftop space, although it would be lovely to have furniture up there. We ended up just bringing up a couple of the dining room chairs to sit on. We were a little disappointed to find out that in the evening, around 7pm (and all throughout the night), a generator runs at the main house. I was expecting a remote, quiet evening of nature sounds, but instead ended up playing music in the evening to help drown out the sound of the generator. Also, was so grateful to have brought ear plugs along, as the handful of roosters on the property start up around 3am and continue until around 7am. My husband is not a light sleeper like me, but even he was using the earplugs to help sleep.
It's also interesting that you have a nicely equipped kitchen, but no way to keep things cool. We had a small lunchbox of refrigerator items, which we kept in the fridge located in the main building's kitchen, but it was pretty inconvenient, as the door to that kitchen is often locked, so we couldn't just access our things when needed, and I didn't necessarily want to bother the hosts every time I wanted something in the fridge.
Overall, was a nice place to stay, with some minor inconveniences.

Needs more info-and there is NOT a fridge!
It started with detailed filling out and signing of 5 pieces of paper, affixing orange wrist bands, and being told NOT to take them off. There is no 'office', it's a guy with a clipboard, who didn't know our cabin numbers, but told to follow another guy...he pointed to a spot behind a brick building and disappeared. We finally figured out the rooms and got our keys at dinner. We were hoping to read about the preserve, but there is nothing, no history, nada. Nothing. There is spotty wi fi in the cute restaurant, and the whole place seems to operate on it's own time.The pizza was excellent, and they had burrata! they also closed at 6, no time on the menus. Not a soul to be seen when the power went out at 7:15pm, candles provided in the bathrooms, but no matches. No one around for coffee at 7am, and still no electricity. There is NOT a kitchen, and you aren't allowed to bring in outside food or booze, yet there are eating and cooking utensils. No frige. One of the rooms had no ceiling fan! The bed linens were delightful! The waterfall was only a disappointment because we didn't realize what a rigorous hike it it to actually get all the way down-the sign says 10 min, but that's to the lookout. Interesting visit, and we'll have to google the preserve!
