Jardines
Just stayed at Jardines. As always... good beds and met 3 couples from Punta Chivato and one from Mulege at the restaurant. I can't remember having a
better fish dinner. I'm not a huge fan of ordering fish for dinner but the Fish Old San Quitin is excellent. The fish of the day wrapped in shrimp,
bacon, cheese and a wonderful wine sauce. Unfortunately their idea of Caesar Salad did nothing for me. South to the border there was one really long
detour that would be a horror if done in the rain but I had hard pack that was okay for my Explorer but smaller cars and trailers won't enjoy it at
all. Some other short detours and I encountered a few double semi's that should not be allowed on the only highway in Baja I travel. The North bound
traffic had to be closed due to their length on a few of the hill winding roads. North Viscaino road is in repair so another detour there too.

Jardine's hotel and restaurant are GREAT!
And holy moly about the cilantro dressing on the salad, you're wife is right LiknBaja127...my friend had it and it was fantastic, so much so I came
home and have been playing around with re-creating it. I think it would be great over fish or chicken too!
Glad you had a good trip, Russ!

Last month 2 semis got trapped side by side (until they just ground by each other) in that detour section.

Cilantro dressing rules. They should sell that and make millions.

We ate there for our first anniversary in 2009 (and had before in their older facility). We love cilantro, but didn't have a salad or knew about it!!

Yes, however they only have a limited amount of rooms that will take pets. They take reservations so just tell them that you have a pet when making a
reservation. Either that or you can take your chances upon arrival.

As much as I like Jardines Baja I may try Paraiso Colonet next trip up. Reason? Well, if you're heading North and plan to leave before sunup you'll
have to go into those head lights and there are lot of folks out moving around trying to catch a bus to work or school. Just too much strain for me
first thing in the morning. Friends stayed there last night and said it was pretty good and the food at their restaurant was good too. They said they
had to ask for a heater but the folks their were really nice. I'll do a report after I try it.

Please
ask about pets so many people seem to want to know.

Paraiso Colonet has a great restaurant. Have had breakfast there and dinner on the one time I stayed. However, the room wasn't very clean, and there
was a septic smell. No screens on the windows meant road noise and bugs all night. Not the worst I've had, but not the best either. The food was
good like I said.
