This is a unique and historic property. Nice, but simple rooms. Good, but simple family style meals. Focus is on fishing, but the beach maybe the hidden gem. The surf on many of the beaches in Los Cabos is too dangerous to swim in. Here it is so calm that it is lake like, and clear to the bottom. A... More

This was our first trip to Rancho Leonero but we've spent over 14 years staying at other properties in the area so we have some experience. The Ranch probably provides the best combination of somewhat rustic East Cape location with facilities that I know my wife would love. I went with my fishing buddy and will return in July with...

Rancho Leonero does a good job of catering to serious fisherman (or fisherwoman ... I was one of the few there). They have a very organized and professional outfit, from boats to the walk-in freezer for the day's catch. We really appreciated the more remote location. Made for a lovely walk down the beach. The ocean-view bungalows were great. Nothing... More

I have just returned from my 12th trip to RL. I took three friends as first timers and we all had the time of our lives. The fishing was awesome and the captains and crews were extremely knowledgeable and worked very hard to get us the fish we wanted. The hotel is very comfortable with all the necessary amenities and... More

Rancho leonero is a small upscale fishing camp on the east cape. The setting is beautiful, the food is delicious and the fishing is out of this world. This place is not a glass and steel resort where tuxedoed waiters will bring you room service at 2 AM. If you are looking for a taste of real Baja - a... More

I have traveled to RL on 3 separate occasions. Two were by myself. I have always been successful with the fish, because the crew at the ranch are experienced fisherman. They work hard for you to have a successful trip. The ranch manager gary, is personable and make me feel welcome and safe. I like knowing I can have a... More

Rancho Leonero has been my favorite fishing spot for over twenty years. This pristine spot has evolved from a very small fish camp in to a beautiful full service resort. This place has only about 32 rooms and a great bar and pool area. The fishing on the East Cape is the best in the world and Rancho Leonero is... More

I went to Cabo over 10 years ago and had some fun (a little touristy for me), but then went to Rancho Leonero and discovered paradise. The pristine beach, the clear East Cape water, the food, the people, and then The Fish!!! We had fun fishing from the shore, the kayak, and the boats. However, even if fishing isn't your... More

The best fishing resort in Baja. We went to Rancho Leonero in East Cape last month for a 5 day fishing trip because it was highly recommended. It didn't disappoint one bit...and actually exceeded our expectations. The rooms were great....right on the sand. The staff was courteous and professional and the boat captains and crew were outstanding. These guys can... More
