Cielito Lindo is an iconic piece of Baja history, originally built by Hollywood producer Mark Armistead over a half century ago and a popular getaway retreat for Hollywood celebrities like John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, John Huston and other popular television and movie stars from the 50’s and 60’s. Today it is a hotel, restaurant and bar providing spaces for overnight and long term RV parking and camping. Located just outside of the San Quintin Bay, guests are treated to a wonderful beachfront experience where Sand Dollars are everywhere and the prevailing afternoon onshore breezes provide San Diego like weather.

Armistead sold Cielito Lindo in 1975 to Juanita Fitzpatrick when the new Transpeninsular Highway officially opened making the place seem to “accessible.”

Juanita did a good job when she took over the operations and under her management the restaurant has become famous for their cracked crab dinner as well as their powerful margaritas from their bar. The rooms today are clean and reasonably priced.

Great place. We were going to stay a couple days were still here. liked the cool quiet evenings. Shower could use some help but we're in mx. We like the walk to the beach 10 minutes go at low tide and pick up Manila clams to eat all you want.The sand dollars are everywhere too. You will like the happy hour 4 to 5. There is a local community tied to the RV hotel park that live in houses scattered around. Very useful information.

Such an easy place to relax and spend time! Amanda and Bebo were gracious and kind. We were biking through and had a perfect rest day here. Rooms, meals, bar. Loved it!

We ate at the restaurant and it was delicious! We ordered the quesatacos and an order of fries to share, and each had a margarita. There was so much food that we left stuffed. Everything was hot and fresh, and the meal even came with chips and salsa, and soup! Service was great. We would definitely recommend this place. We brought our RV and also stayed a night in their camping spots. It was quiet with the exception of the occasional barking dog.
