For our New Year’s holiday, a group of 20 friends from Southern Arizona, spent three delightful days at La Posada Del Rio Sonora in Banamichi, Sonora, Mexico. We had secured all 10 rooms / suites for our private celebration! This historic property, on the plaza (zocolo) of Banamichi, is a beautiful little ecotourism hotel. The vibrant colors of Mexico are used throughout the establishment and beautiful Mexican tile work is everywhere. Each room is decorated differently with special attention to detail and comfort. One truly feels as though they have entered a hidden oasis when they arrive at La Posada! From the lush plant filled courtyard… to the sunset terrace for happy hour… to the beautiful dining room (the food was wonderful) for meals…one cannot say enough about this charming little hotel! The owners, Darrin & Cheri Jones, and the hotel manager, Carmen, took great care in making sure our visit was meaningful and relaxing. Darrin arranged outings to a local lariat / riata craftsman and a mesquite furniture craftsman. Another stop was made at a local bacanora distillery. Thank you all for a wonderful visit… We’ll be back!!

What Others Are Saying

First of all I’m a little bias in that the owners of La Posada are my friends, but I think I can be objective enough. First of all I like the location, right on the main plaza, across from the church, you’re right in the middle of everything. Then I love the convenience of the restaurant with the doors and windows that open to the outside, great place to sit and beyond the food, connect to the internet to take care of the necessaries. The food is simple, but predictably good, typical of foods from that region. The rooms are more than comfortable. I traveled many years down there before it was ever possible to find the comfort level that one experiences at the hotel. And for me, its a place that connects to the town, the feeling is one of Sonora, not something owned and transplanted by Americans. The owners have done a good job of keeping that intact.
