SPECTACULAR SURROUNDINGS.
UNPARALLELED AMENITIES.
PHENOMENAL SERVICE.
Welcome to La Siesta, a secluded three-acre enclave nestled deep in the heart of the majestic Sonoran Desert. We’re one of the closest Arizona hotels to the beaches of Rocky Point and the serene beauty of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.
Just outside the Ajo city limits, our quiet oasis offers a charming mix of cabins, homes and classic motel rooms. Our grounds are a certified wildlife habitat – home to a variety of desert plants and animals. Here, shaded pathways meander and bridges span dry wash beds as they lead to a swimming pool, an in-ground spa, a tennis and basketball court, a laundry room with free machines for guests and a variety of gathering spots for picnics, barbeques or a peaceful moment of solitude.
Let us provide your ideal home away from home – for an overnight visit or an extended stay. You’ll quickly discover why we’ve been Ajo’s top lodging choice for nearly 50 years.
Not all those who wander are lost.

“I must stay this motel is DOPE! We had a two queen room and it included a massage chair, two fridges, a HUGE Sony TV and other amenities. The beds were comfortable and the place was quiet (nice sleep). So, if you’re headed to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, this is the place to stay.”

The entire time I was there if I needed anything day or night they made themselves available. It was clean and at a great location to everything also well lit so it felt very safe. Thank you Zach and staff for a great experience.”

AJO, ARIZONA,
THE “BEST SMALL TOWN” IN THE SOUTHWEST
With its vibrant downtown plaza and a steadfast commitment to community, Ajo has become one of the country’s most intriguing and celebrated cities.
USA Today named Ajo the Southwest’s best small town (ahead of places like Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, and Taos, New Mexico), saying: “A copper mining hub in the early 20th century, Ajo is today a picturesque getaway in the Sonoran Desert and the gateway to Organ Pipe Cactus and Sonoran Desert National Monuments. A large central plaza is surrounded by Spanish Colonial architecture, including a mission-style church, and the town’s history is on display at the Ajo Historical Society Museum.“
A lengthy essay on CNN.com described Ajo’s journey as “the story of a better America,” while two Atlantic articles chronicled our town’s metamorphosis from a mining town in decline to an arts and culture center – an “Oasis in the Desert.” You can read these full stories – and others – by clicking the corresponding images.
