WELCOME TO THE VAN WORMER RESORTS
Two Hotels. One Unforgettable Coast.
Set along the white sand shores of Los Barriles on Mexico's Sea of Cortez, Hotel Palmas de Cortez and Hotel Playa del Sol sit less than a mile apart, sharing the same legendary fishing grounds, the same warm hospitality, and the same breathtaking views.
With the largest sportfishing fleet of any hotel in Mexico, fully customizable packages for groups from 2 to 200, and resort amenities including an infinity edge pool, swim up bar, tennis, pickleball, and more, there is no better home base on the East Cape.
WHY VAN WORMER RESORTS
Mexico's Largest Private Sportfishing Fleet
With 50+ boats from super pangas to 32 foot cruisers, no hotel in Mexico puts more vessels on the water. Private docks at each resort mean you are fishing within minutes of breakfast.
WHY VAN WORMER RESORTS
Fully Customizable Packages for Groups of Any Size
Whether you are planning a solo trip or organizing 200 people, every package is built around your schedule, your budget, and the species you are chasing. Room and boat rates are priced separately so you only pay for what you need.
WHY VAN WORMER RESORTS
A Family Legacy Since the 1950s
The Van Wormer family helped pioneer sport fishing on the East Cape and they still run every boat, every dock, and every resort today. That continuity means expert captains, trusted crews, and an operation refined over decades.
