BajaNomad - New resort in El Pescadero?

According to this article the resort is opening up one month from today. I didn't realize that it was an all-inclusive deal. Why on earth would anyone want to do that in Todos Santos?

This place isn't in Todos any more than Cerritos is in Cabo. The name is recognition marketing. I'd consider Palm Beach as the Northern boundary for Todos.

Think tourists will be disappointed with a location in the middle of nowhere, the pueblo of Pescadero, and 10 km to Todos.

They'll be especially disappointed if they don't rent a car, which might be the case given that it's an all-inclusive. At least in Cabo you can call a cab to escape the confines of the sprawling resort from time to time.

bkbend - 12-16-2020 at 10:49 AM

People who stay an an all-inclusive aren't really into seeing the sights, smells, and sounds of Baja, too afraid. Except maybe hopping into the resort van with like-minded folks for tour of TS and a photo op at Hotel California.

quite right. for many travel is more about spending time in a climate that doesn't suck, rather and a desire to experience an unfamiliar culture. and grow a bit.

There's a place you pass when driving into Baja Beans parking lot where they have a number of white vans ready to go. Pretty sure those vans will be providing shuttle to town.

I've never stayed all-inclusive but think those clientele want to lay by the pool sipping drinks. Nothing wrong with that. After seeing the galleries in town, that's about it sight seeing.

When I'm in Pesky, I sit on the beach under an umbrella and read or watch the whales. Throw the frisbee for my dog. That's about it. Run in for groceries once a week. Don't get out. Guesss that's all-inclusive, in a way.

No stress.

pauldavidmena - 12-16-2020 at 02:20 PM

No stress is good!

When we visit, we tend to rent a place with a well-equipped kitchen so that we can prepare most of our own meals. This means trips into town for meat or fish and fresh produce. In Pesky "Agricole" had much of what we needed, and Mini Super Munchies had things like snacks and beer. Going to the markets every day provided an opportunity for me to use Spanish, and making our own meals meant that we could splurge for the occasional night out.

We don't get out too much either, but we've made a few BajaNomad friends and like to catch up in person when possible. We also make a pilgrimage to El Triunfo and would like to visit San Bartolo at some point. We probably won't be doing any of the above again until early 2022.

pacificobob - 12-17-2020 at 03:39 PM

mini super munchies has become a real asset to to neighborhood.
the ice cream sandwiches are the stuff of dreams.

pauldavidmena - 12-17-2020 at 04:39 PM

When we visit (every winter since 2011) we alternate between Pescadero and the Las Tunas neighborhood. Each has its allure, but we nearly bought a house in Pescadero a few years ago - even before Mini Super Munchies came on the scene! Now that the first major snowstorm of winter has hit the Northeast, we'd like a "do over"!

Just read this article in the La Crosse (WI) Tribune. It isn't about the resort, but is written by its two co-owners about pozole, which is perhaps fittingly misspelled.

Made with "big corn"?

Just read this article in the La Crosse (WI) Tribune. It isn't about the resort, but is written by its two co-owners about pozole, which is perhaps fittingly misspelled.

Corn off the cob would not be pozole! Hominy comes from the cob, but needs to be processed (much like olives) before it is fit for pozole.

My first exposure to Pozole was when I was about 12. My family was invited to join in with a fiesta on the beach in Manzanillo. When I went back for a second bowl, the woman who was ladling it out smiled, and made sure to hook what was left of an entire cow skull that was the base for the stock.

By her reaction, my eyes must have gotten a size or two larger, but it didn't stop me from havingf another bowl!

Veracity check: What makes you think it was written by the co-owners? :?:

Well, the article says so, but I suppose that doesn't mean it's true. It seems like a weak plug for the resort disguised as a poorly written article about pozole.

We must not be reading the same article.

The one I read looks like an interview of those two owners written by some unknown reporter, who (I assume) would be the one responsible for those spelling and/or cultural gaffes.

Not unexpected in a Wisconsin newspaper, to be unfamiliar with Mexico. :tumble:

or hominy?

Per the Gringo Gazette, rooms start at $550 per night. Save up those pesos!

Those people paying $550 a night are gonna be pretty disappointed when they realize they are directly downwind of a dump that burns on a regular basis.

Perhaps it more comfortable than sleeping in the back of your Toyota Tacoma, eating canned chili (with Pacifico), in a windstorm blowing dust/sand into every nook/cranny, eh?

Sometimes camping in the desert dirt/dust is fun. And Sometimes kickin’ back at the 5-star resort is fun too.

It’s only money, you can’t take it with you, spend it on living

quite correct. the silver lining here is the developer may some leverage in la paz to improve the dump situation.....high end tourists will not tolerate toxic smoke for long.

phmilo - 1-1-2021 at 10:18 AM

Wow. For that price you can get a really nice place with a view. You'll have to cook your own food, or venture out with the locals. This probably won't leave you much time for instgramming your experience.

I'm clearly not the target market, but it seems like the wrong place to put people looking for this type of 'experience' .

Cancamo - 1-1-2021 at 12:29 PM

New "Four Seasons" in La Ribera getting $2500/night on New Years, $1700/night during the week for a room. $20-$50 for breakfast. Kinda pricey to tolerate the north wind in your face this time of year.

Meanwhile local maid working adjacent property making 2000 pesos, ($100), for a 50 hour week. WTF???

Like most these places being built, I suspect are washing a lot of $$$.

The wealthy have never been wealthier, and the poorer....

Well, they would have to have considerably more clout than our local delagados who have been begging the government in La Paz for years with no success, to provide the funds for a proper landfill, regardless of the fact that our community currently has 100's of millions in construction activity that generates 16% IVA tax on every centavo spent on materials, as well as tax on every tourist trinket, hotel room, and margarita sold, it's always the same answer, "We're terribly sorry, but there is no money." I wonder if those developers will also have the leverage to stop the farms surrounding the place from poisoning the guests with their toxic pesticide spraying. At least the politicos in La Paz can proudly stand up and point to the handicapped playgrounds, bike paths, and bronze sculptures on the Malecon that gets rebuilt every 5-10 years as their shining accomplishment in a city where half the population has to have their water delivered by a truck.

I just read this puff piece from "Globe Tender" magazine. It's riddled with errors (Los Cerritos is a surf break?), but I'm sure their target audience won't know the difference.

Lee - 1-15-2021 at 06:36 PM

Yes, puff piece is correct. Cerritos is a beach break. N. end by the rocks wired by MX locals.

San Pedrito Point too. Good for long/short boarders.

Both can break big in the Summer.

phmilo - 2-12-2021 at 07:43 AM

Looks like they have opened up. Still $500+ for a room. Also apparently claiming a private beach.

Anyone want to do a count of rental cars in the parking lot?

pacificobob - 2-12-2021 at 07:47 AM

rumor has it they claim san pedro , aka palm beach, is their private beach.

phmilo - 2-12-2021 at 07:49 AM

Are they restricting access to Palm beach somehow? Is that kind of thing being supported by the local enforcement?

pacificobob - 2-12-2021 at 07:58 AM

i don't know. just something that was mentioned to me.

pauldavidmena - 2-21-2021 at 08:35 AM

Here is the inevitable review in Condé Nast Traveler.

phmilo - 2-21-2021 at 09:17 AM

Well now it all makes more sense. Your $550/night room includes breakfast and an 'experience'.

'Private beach', 'Todos Santos'... so many questions. The restaurant does look pretty good though, I'm sure I'll give them a nickel along the way somewhere.

pauldavidmena - 2-21-2021 at 09:28 AM

The spicy mezcal c-cktail calls my name, but I'd rather make it at home and save the $550 per night - or better yet in a rented casita for a fraction of the price.

And yes, it's an odd trend that new resorts are promising a unique "experience", as if being in Todos Santos couldn't possibly be enough.

pacificobob - 2-21-2021 at 09:36 AM

and lets not discount the "experience " of breathing the toxic smoke from the directly up wind dump.

RFClark - 2-21-2021 at 11:27 AM

We saw that when we were driving by last November and wondered what it was. We drove over to that area several years ago when we we looking for a lot to buy. Back then it was an agricultural area with dirt roads and an area “subdivided” into small lots. Richie Amica had the listing. It’s located well back from the beach.

We’re going to drive to Todos Santos in a couple of weeks. We’ll take a look at the beach and report back. Personally, I like the next beach south where Pura Playa is located! You could camp there and the drinks are great! Plus it’s not $500 a night!

More from Cerritos soon!

pauldavidmena - 2-21-2021 at 01:21 PM

They all took a lung full of smoke last week. It was really bad, at $500 per night they got their monies worth of smoke!

You have to think that there will be negative reviews on account of it. Not that it's necessarily their fault, but they should know better than to charge so much money for a frequently adverse "experience".

This resort has nothing to do with the Palm Beach, which is still owned by the Rodriguez family who has owned it for decades. They're just using deceptive wording in their marketing ("private beach experience") to make it sound like they have a beach there, when in actuality, they are at best, a long hike to the beach, but their guests will be able to frolic in the surf along with the rest of the unwashed masses at a nearby beach that may seem private due to the fact that not many people go there due to the likelihood of having your car broken into while there. But hey, who needs a beach when you have shamans and yogis?

pacificobob - 2-25-2021 at 06:54 AM

To paraphrase the marketing pitch, "you're not just paying for a stay at a resort; you're paying for an Experience."

Goat,

We can afford to stay at that Hotel! We stay at the Diamonte golf course! Why would we want to stay with a bunch of Liberal posers next to a trash burn area? This is just one of the small expensive boutique hotels springing up in the area. There’s another one north of there next to a commercial fishing area. Concrete cube buildings a pool, $20 drinks and Liberal Posers! Bon Appetite, they’re all yours!

pacificobob - 2-25-2021 at 10:51 AM

pacificobob - 2-25-2021 at 11:40 AM

RFClark - 2-25-2021 at 12:01 PM

Cerritos does have a very eclectic mix of residents and visitors. Those I’ve met there run the gamut from retired IRA gunmen to farmers, ex-pat American money launderers and perhaps a few Mexican revolutionaries. Nice folks all, great to have a drink with and swap stories. Just stay away from politics and religion!

When visiting far away exotic places always live among the locals. The truth usually is far more interesting than the fiction! The $500 a night folks hang with the same group they hang with back home! Posers all, like I said!

AKgringo - 2-25-2021 at 12:09 PM

On a typical trip for me, gasoline is my largest expense, followed by food/supplies, and then lodging or camp fees!

pacificobob - 2-25-2021 at 01:13 PM

lots of locals at diamonte?

RFClark - 2-25-2021 at 01:41 PM

None, stay there a week every other year cause the wife likes it. We usually rent something domestic in the area or in Todos Santos. The deal we have at Diamonte is cheaper than the Cerritos Beach Hotel per night and you can cook at Diamonte!

We drove by there several times recently. You can't get close as there’s a gate with an (armed) guard about 200 feet from HWY1.

The good news is the beach is still open via the north road.

Cerritos had a brush fire while we were there and I wouldn’t want to be in a place closely surrounded by brush as this place is! Local fire resources are very limited!

We'll be in the area soon. I plan on stopping by for a c-cktail when we go to palm beach.

Let me give you a warning.

I've never been to Palm Beach though I've flown over it. The beach has a reputation for break-ins. Don't know anyone personally who's been broken-into, but that's the word on the street. That word shows up occasionally in the Gringo Gazette, Western Onion.

The parking area is secluded and if you are targeted it would be from someone hiding and waiting for you to walk away from your car.

On the other hand, if you have someone willing to wait with the car, you're home free.

One last bit. I'm big on car alarms and kill switches. You've lessened the chances of someone hanging around when the alarm goes off if you have one.

phmilo - 5-1-2021 at 06:16 PM

Yeah, and I've heard it's more prominent all over the region in the last year as people have more need and fewer options.

I've been to Palm beach several times and my normal approach is to take everything of value with me (and take very little of value to the beach in the first place), leave the car unlocked and often with the windows down far enough for someone to reach in. They are welcome to rifle through the car, the windows likely won't be broken and won't lose anything of value. If I hear that full on car theft has become a thing I may have to re-think it. I'm still doing rental cars down there, so I don't think a Kill switch would be a solution.

mtgoat666 - 5-2-2021 at 05:14 AM

I've never been to Palm Beach though I've flown over it.

While $550 per night is pretty steep, when you only take one week-long vacation per year like I do, you can justify the price tag. My wife and I tend to rent beach homes with well-equipped kitchens and cook most of our own meals using local ingredients. That, road trips and walks along the beach are the sort of "experiences" we seek.

The hotel is nice if you like brutalist architecture, which I tend to find a little austere for my tastes. Otherwise I think the patrons are paying for the "it factor", much as they did for Hotel San Cristobal a few years back, and Hacienda Cerritos before that. There's nothing wrong with Paradero if you must have the flavor of the week.

We went by today and there was a lot of equipment and excavation going on at the hillside beyond the resort, they were getting a good bit of the dust from it. I'm guessing it is sand and fill for the Hyatt going in at Rancho Pescadero. They have two cranes up at Ranch Pescadero, sevearal new structures rising and a mob of crew out there. Lots of stuff happening in the huerta, wonder where all the water is going to come from? And where all the sewage is going to go. It was hot and we were pressed for time, so we didn't stop for a drink this time. Maybe next time.... or maybe not.

If you're getting your info here about Hyatt, it's bogus. Stop repeating a rumor. Happy to discuss who the owner is and why she doesn't need help with the Rancho. I could be wrong.

If you know something that hasn't been written here, please share it?

Pacifico or G & T?

As long as you know, Tom, everything about the Rancho is tongue in cheek. Waiting for the development to start at Cyril's old place.

The beach in front of the development is a non-swimmable beach. Personally, I think it's fine if you're a strong swimmer and know how to get out of a rip current or undertow.

Sitting on the beach one day, I heard screaming. Couple from the Rancho, she on her back being dragged into the water, husband holding her hand trying to save her. Hawaiian waves.

Here’s the latest Rancho photo! The old restaurant is a big pile of sand now! The cement trucks roll in and out all day!

All that land in rural baja and they want to stick the customers in shoe boxes in a high rise?

Goat,

The beach there is for the Turtles. The turtle sanctuary is right next door! They also rase really great vegetables there. I’d rather have vegetables and turtles than acres of tourists! Keep them in a shoe box!
