Hola!
We’re Jerry & Kay Barker
We are a couple of Texans who decided to retire in Mexico and are thoroughly enjoying our life in La Paz. We arrived in La Paz in 2015 after spending 2 years on mainland Mexico. Jerry has been diving for most of his adult life, so the Sea of Cortez was a major draw card and it hasn’t dissapointed.
We purchased this property in June 2022 and after a few minor improvements, we opened our doors in August 2022 so others can enjoy the beauty of La Paz.

Can I bring my own alcoholic beverages?
Yes. Guests may bring their own alcohol onto our premises. We are very casual here and it has NEVER happened that it has been a problem, however, what will NOT be allowed is loud, violent, or disrespectful behavior around us or our other guests, which drinking alcohol can sometimes cause. It would unfortunately end a guest’s stay with us and the guest’s deposit would be forfeited. We are grateful that we have never had to do that.
Is breakfast provided, and if so, what are the options?
Because our place is a boutique size BnB with only two apartments, we do not have a restaurant, therefore, we are not able to provide breakfast, however, we do have numerous contacts and delivery services offering delicious breakfasts and lunches and they are very reasonable. We would need to know your preferences a week in advance, please, in order to accommodate you. We can send you links for your review or you can contact them personally.

Cancellation Policy
When you book a room at the Baja Palms, we reserve and hold that apartment specifically for you . Because we are a small B & B in a resort town where guests tend to book well in advance, it is difficult for us to re-book rooms without adequate notice. WE PROVIDE A CANCELLATION NUMBER. If you do not have a cancellation number, you have not been canceled.
If you book directly through Baja Palms, our booking policy is simple:
ALL PREPAID DEPOSITS to hold your reservation will not be refunded. IF YOU CANCEL 2 WEEKS OR LESS before your arrival date, you will be charged the full price of the reservation. Please understand this is a standard procedure but also, we are a small, and modestly priced boutique BnB. We have just two apartments, and it is a hardship for us when you cancel. Refunds do not include paid taxes or wire fees.
Although we believe you will really, really enjoy it here at Baja Palms, if you arrive and are unsatisfied with the accommodation, we will truly do our best to help you find another accommodation, but no refund will be able to be issued.
