Club Habana Resort & Spa

The Resort and Its Setting

Club Habana Resort & Spa is an independently run timeshare property in San Felipe, on Mexico's Baja California peninsula. It isn't part of a major international hotel brand — it's owned and managed locally, which is common for resorts along this stretch of the Sea of Cortez coast. What sets it apart from other independent properties is its affiliation with RCI, giving owners the option to deposit their week into the exchange network and travel elsewhere instead of returning to San Felipe every year.

San Felipe and Baja California Norte

San Felipe has built its reputation as the quieter alternative to Cabo or Cancún. It's a working fishing town first and a holiday spot second, and that's exactly its appeal: wide sandy beaches right in town, calm water for swimming and kayaking, and a malecón lined with seafood stalls rather than resort chains. The Sea of Cortez itself is one of the most biodiverse marine environments anywhere, drawing anglers, divers and anyone keen on whale or dolphin watching. Inland, the Baja desert begins almost immediately — a landscape of cactus, dry mountains and remarkably dark night skies, popular for off-roading and stargazing. It's a destination that rewards travellers happy to slow down rather than those chasing nightlife.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Club Habana Resort & Spa and are thinking of selling it on, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list it as a private, owner-to-owner resale or rental. You set your own asking price, there's no commission taken from the sale, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the listing — we charge a one-time listing fee to get your week in front of buyers, nothing more.

Because Club Habana Resort & Spa is independently managed, any resale transfer will go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded corporate transfer desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort: the current transfer fee for changing the week into a new owner's name, and the current annual maintenance fee, since these figures aren't published and need to be checked at the time of sale. Ask for this in writing before any deposit changes hands.

What a resale buyer does acquire is the usage right tied to the specific week and unit type being sold, along with — if the resort confirms it carries over — the RCI affiliation, which lets the new owner deposit that week for exchange through RCI's network. What they generally don't inherit is any loyalty status, resort credits, or promotional perks the original purchaser may have had, since those typically aren't transferable at independent resorts. Renters, meanwhile, are simply booking a stay for a set week and don't take on any ownership rights or RCI privileges.

What Renters and Buyers Look For

People looking for a week at Club Habana Resort & Spa are usually after a beach base in San Felipe itself — walking distance to the sand, close to the fishing docks and downtown restaurants, with the Sea of Cortez and the desert both on the doorstep. Buyers coming from the US or Canada also value the RCI affiliation, since it means the week isn't locked to San Felipe alone if their travel plans change from year to year.

Practical Notes for Owners and Guests

San Felipe is a small town, so anyone renting out their week should let guests know that shopping and services are limited compared to bigger resort towns — stocking up in town on arrival is standard practice. The town itself is easily reached by road from the Mexicali border crossing, roughly a two-and-a-half-hour drive south, which makes it popular with road-trippers rather than fly-in guests, since San Felipe's own airstrip handles little scheduled traffic.
