La Paz has plenty of excellent options. If your first-choice hotel is full: 1. Check the other recommendations on our list! Most are a short walk from Baja Club. 2. Look into smaller B&Bs and boutique stays in Centro, which often have availability. 3. Reach out to us — we’re happy to help you find a great alternative or share backup options.

Question

What airport should I fly into?

Answer

Check out the Travel & Hotels page for more information about taxi and shuttle transportation! You can fly into either: • La Paz (LAP) — closest Airport to La Paz (~20 minutes to town) • Los Cabos (SJD) — often cheaper flights, ~2–2.5 hour drive to La Paz. If enough folks are going this route, we’ll help organize a shuttle from SJD to La Paz. The drive from Cabo to La Paz is approximately 2–2.5 hours on a safe, well-maintained highway with scenic desert and ocean views.

Question

Do I need a rental car?

Answer

Not necessarily! If you’re staying near the Malecon, you can walk to almost everything. Note that Baja Club has valet parking for rental cars, but they have limited spaces available. A rental car is helpful if: • You’re flying into Los Cabos • You want to explore beaches outside of town • You’re staying outside Centro

Question

What’s the dress code for the wedding?

Answer

We’re calling the dress code Baja chic, with beachy elegance. Think bright colors, bold choices, and prints that feel fun, comfortable, and celebratory. Breezy, breathable fabrics are good choices here: linen, silk, lightweight cotton, flowy dresses, statement sets, or patterned shirts. Temperatures will dip into the 60’s in the evening, so planning on light layers is a good choice.

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Mostly outdoors, with shade and wind coverage depending on the weather. Evenings are warm but breezy, so plan on bringing light layers to evening events in case of chilly ocean breezes.

Question

Do I need to book the Sunday boat tour separately?

Answer

No. We will coordinate the group tour and booking and will then gather details from those joining. If you plan to join the boat excursion, you will need to coordinate your lodging for Sunday evening. Baja Club does have a limited number of rooms available at our group discounted rate.

Question

What’s included in Sunday’s boat excursion?

Answer

Boat transportation from La Paz, lunch, water, snorkel gear, and guides trained in marine wildlife safety standards.

Question

Is the excursion suitable for everyone?

Answer

The tour requires some level of comfort in the water, getting in and out of boats, spending the day in the sun, and encountering some cool wildlife! If you prefer to have a more relaxing day, Balandra Beach or shopping on the Malecon are great alternative activities.

Question

What is a whale shark? Should I be scared?

Answer

Whale sharks are quite literally the coolest critter in the sea. Here are some quick facts about these gentle giants, and what to expect during an encounter! - The largest fish in the world and very gentle. - Whale sharks can grow up to 30–40 feet, but they’re slow, calm filter-feeders that eat only plankton. - La Paz is one of the best places on Earth to see them. - They migrate through the Bay of La Paz each year, with peak sightings October–March. - Each one has a unique “polka-dot” pattern, kind of like a fingerprint. No two sharks look the same! -They are a protected species. Local operators follow strict rules: no touching, limited time in the observation zone, and keep safe distances to keep the animals stress-free.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

The event space and room block is limited, so we’re keeping the guest list to the names listed on your invitation. If your plus-one was not originally included and you’d like to bring someone, please reach out to us first. We truly appreciate your understanding as we work within the hotel’s capacity.
