I doubt the viability of that kind of business. I think the days of fly-in resorts have come and gone. Mulege and even Loreto struggle because the weather can be a bit cool at times in winter and brutally hot in the summer. Your typical all-inclusive tourist type wants to drink by the pool in Cabo and chow down on the buffet.

Hi Russ,
Did the little 'Hotelito' close up... no more pizzas, etc.?

Not to answer for Russ but it was closed yesterday with a chain up blocking the entrance.

the fish even jump on your boat in the summer

As HeyMulegeScott noted the Hotelito is closed and has been for awhile now. Not even a rumor that it will reopen or sale.

OK. Too hot for me. The tourists are Mexican and as local told me you people melt here in the summer. Maybe some summer I will try to brave it now that we own here and can escape to the Pacific Coast as needed.

Looks like your website is in English and your rates are in "USA dollars". What's your peak season?

Summer and early Fall are my favorite times in Baja. You have to be out on the water though.

Summer for the best Baja experience, and the sea is warm enough to swim in, too. Not so in the winter! Also, less crowds on the beaches in the summer... But still can be busy. Sure there may be some humidity, and maybe a hurricane, but name a tropical paradise without those! Heat cures the ills and pain brought on by cold!
