In this Deep Dive, we explore the federal hygiene standards (NOMs) that every hotel in Baja California is legally bound to follow—from spotless kitchens and fumigation logs to pool safety and fair contracts. With tourism as the lifeblood of Baja, these rules are more than fine print—they protect your health, your wallet, and the region’s reputation. Learn how to spot red flags, when to complain, and why margaritas are optional, but hygiene is non-negotiable. 🏨🧼🍹
