Here's an inside look at the new cafe in Loreto Bay. It's called Macchiato and is run by Dia Morales (of Agua Viva Management). If you like vino, then you'll be pleased to know it turns into a wine bar in the evening. Great views of the Sierra de la Giganta. Look for it across from the "race track" (or Union Square as I like to call it ... almost as many shops...).

New Non-Stop Flights Connect Loreto With Cabo San Lucas and Tijuana in Mexico

clintonstark — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:42:22 -0800

FYI, many of you probably already saw this. Just in case here's the PR with good news on airlift for LTO. Interesting they refer to the area as "Islands of Loreto" - wonder if that is a new marketing push?

New Non-Stop Flights Connect Loreto With Cabo San Lucas and Tijuana in Mexico

Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto and Aereo Calafia launch new flights

ISLANDS OF LORETO, Mexico, Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- New flights between popular Mexico vacation destinations Cabo San Lucas, the Islands of Loreto and Tijuana launched on October 21, providing U.S. travelers with additional options for getting to the Islands of Loreto and the destination's luxurious new Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto.

The new Aereo Calafia flights depart Wednesday, Friday and Sunday and link the Islands of Loreto International Airport (LTO) with Cabo San Lucas International Airport (CSL) and Tijuana International Airport (TIJ). Flights from the Islands of Loreto to Tijuana are just one hour and 50 minutes with rates starting at $320 round trip. Flights from Los Cabos to the Islands of Loreto are just over 60 minutes and start at $240 round trip.

Loreto, Mexico's next "it" destination, offers incredible beauty in Baja California South with views of the Sea of Cortez and the surrounding Sierra de la Giganta Mountains. Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto offers a variety of water and ecological activities to enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings, ranging from snorkeling in the indigo waters to hiking nearby trails. When staying at the resort, guests can easily explore the nearby islands such as Danzante, an astonishing volcanic island, or Isla del Carmen, which offers incredible whale watching and fishing opportunities. Rates at the resort start at just $127 per night, plus tax, based on double occupancy. Special packages will soon be announced to celebrate the new flights.

"We are so excited to share the news about these new flights," said Villa Group Resort partner Luz Maria Torres. "With this new airlift, more travelers will have an opportunity to experience the pristine and magical Islands of Loreto for themselves."
