Curt, that looks like a lousy place to be. The hotels aren't three star and there are no restaurants open at night. and what's with all the
pangas...don't see no launch ramp! nothing but a rock bench to sit on. and no margi in your hand...looks like a Tecate light.... oh I see its 5
years ago. probably a resort now.

Not everyone in the service industry in Baja, and at Baja Cactus, share in a customer's complaint about losing a room with late arrival, with or
without a credit card to hold it.
If the front desk is having attitudes, Antonio's reprimand might be: hey, try to have a better attitude.
And, hey, there's always Tourista and Baja's Best. So what's the problem?
It's best not to be attached to this kind of stuff in Baja and be flexible in expectations. ...

Mine too. But I'm afraid that I may be too old for that now.
Speaking of Baja Cactus, the room was a bit too cold for me last time so I brought the sleeping bags inside. It wasn't quite the same.
I'll never forget a night my wife and I spent in sleeping bags like that in Arizona. A pack of coyotes came down and surrounded us and let up a howl
for hours. They seemed so close I feared they would start tearing into the bags. We just crawled deeper into the bags and hoped for the best.
I really don't know if there is any danger from those animals. Especially when there is a pack of 20 involved.

We've found footprints next to our bags in the morning when camping out on the coast---they don't seem to bother us (eh, unless one was rabid, that
would be the danger), just looking for food scraps.
There's a large pack of them in Borrego Springs---we camp on our property sometimes and they steer clear of us.

Baja Cactus (newer) rooms have remote control heating and A/C... Perhaps not in one of the few remaining original rooms?

vie. Tio |
Yes, he posted it was resolved here... Antonio has not been on Nomad (posting) for a long time... Very sad, as he was a great Nomad... Maybe it is
just too much drama here... many dobn't post here anymore, regularly... ? |
Antonio has not been posting on Nomad since 3-24-2011 at 05:21 PM. Very sad, indeed.

The Power of Baja Nomads!!
OP here. We're back at Baja Cactus for the night headed north.
This time we got our pre-reserved room. And guess what?? It is after 8 PM and WE ARE THE ONLY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT!
NO ONE IS HERE! NADIE!
Is this due to the power of Baja Nomands I wonder?
I guess everyone on the road is at Jardines!

Driving Northbound yesterday, May 23rd, around 6:00 P.M. and pulled into Baja Cactus without a reservation. I went up to the desk and requested a
room for one person and my dog.
The women behind the desk was extremely friendly and apologized that they were completely sold out. In very good English she was very nice and
professional and made some suggestions where else to stay but I continued on to stay at La Villa in S.Q. (Jardines did not have any dog friendly rooms
left)

I told the receptionist at the Help Desk that she had a nice rack and she became sooo abusive. I'll never stay there again!
