Great place to relax

The staff was wonderful and so nice. It was in a great location, just a short walk to the beach! Could have used shampoo and conditioner in the room (beach hair), but soap was provided. The rooftop deck was a great spot for sunsets and the infinity pool was refreshing. Breakfast was provided and the food was good.

Surfers paradise! We loved this small surf community with complimentary eggs and ham for breakfast. Not wheelchair accessible all rooms are stair access. Beach has chairs, umbrella and surf lessons for rent. We would totally stay here again and had a great experience!!!

Disliked: Amenities
Cerritos beach itself is gorgeous really but has become way too busy. The hotel desert moon was overpriced, and we were only given 1 roll of tp for 2 people for three nights and the towels (and bedding) weren’t changed once during our stay. There is no garden area or laundry facilities as advertised. Otherwise the breakfast included was nice to have in the morning, simple but still alright, and the staff were pleasant.

A basic, adequate room situated next to gorgeous Cerritos Beach. Decor and furniture a bit dated; kitchenette, coffee maker and refrigerator are modern with limited pans, utensils for cooking. The free breakfast was coffee, scrambled eggs with ham. More options on menu for $$. Nice small pool in outdoor bar/restaurant area. Location on Cerritos Beach is outstanding!! Several small cafe/bars on beach serve good food and drinks. You can rent surfboard, chairs, umbrellas, take lessons, play volleyball, swim, walk, fish, explore. A laid-back, happy, friendly vibe for all ages.

Moved to this property when the water pump broke at our original hotel. This is decent / nice place with views of Playa Los Cerritos and walkable to the beach. Our original hotel had a modern boho vibe with more of a luxe feel; Desert Moon is more like a surf motel with a casual, modest vibe but the advantage here was a small kitchen with microwave coffeemaker. A huge plus in an area where it's hard to find coffee earlier than 8am! Good size room for two people and comfortable beds. Be advised that you may be walking up several steps (with no railings) to your room. The stairs are somewhat lit at night but it can be pretty dark in Baja so have your phone's flashlight ready.

The property is accessible by lots of stairs which make for great views of Cerritos beach. The rooms are clean and have comfy queen bed, bathroom with shower, mini kitchen with refrigerator, Stove, microwave, toaster, sink, pots and pans, dishes, dish drain. The decor is a modern, cool concrete with artsy painting. Breakfast is included with coffee and three choices of quesadilla, eggs with ham and homemade tortillas, or eggs with refried beans. There are extra items on menu to buy for breakfast and lunch and dinner too. The hotel is a short walk distance to the sandy beach which has swimming, surfing, restaurant, dj, surfboard rentals and lessons, beach chair and umbrella rentals, massage on beach for hire. We spent three days on beach chair under umbrella just relaxing. You can walk or run the beach for miles and miles. If you want to walk more you can try out the ten or more restaurants/ bars or drive to them. Also three mini markets in town. Coffee shop where you can adopt dogs. Awesome pizza restaurant. Also restaurants on beach if you want to explore with ocean views. The neighboring town pescadero has farm to table restaurants, breakfast restaurants, ice cream. If you want to go twenty minutes check out todos santos for authentic Mexican vibe and shopping plus restaurants and beaches. This is my third time visiting the hotel.

Cerritos is amazing! If you love surfing, Desert Moon is the best place to stay. You can see the waves from your window and step outside right onto the beach. Jaun, the Riptide Bar's bartender was so fun to hang out with and makes the most beautiful margaritas!
