Baja Cactus Motel - El Rosario
I guess I'm starting this new forum off. I stayed at Antonio's Baja Cactus Motel in Dec. 2004 and loved it. Highly recommended. The rooms were very
clean, new, large king-size beds, and incredible bathrooms. Friendly staff. Slept like a baby!

We stayed there on 2/10/05...
in room 103, one of the new one's in the back...everything's new, large comfortable beds, TV, and 'walk-in' showers (lots of hot water) with heavy
glass doors.
#103 is back in the corner, and is very quiet, we couldn't even hear the semi's on the highway.
This was our 2nd stay, and we'll go back again...
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

I just finished IM'ing with Antonio (11:30pm) He was at an Internet Cafe in Ensenada on his way to El Rosario with his dad. Tomorrow morning, the Baja
California state tourism department is presenting them with an award for 'Outstanding Host' or something like that!!!
Well deserved I must say! Congratulations Antonio 'BajaCactus'!

Thanks!!!
Thank you very much guys for your nice and kind words.
It is our pleasure to share what is the beginning of a dream with you all... my father's dream.
You see, the main reason for these new rooms to exists, as they are, is not actually business or money... they are the result of my father's dream to
have something to be proud of... to be able to offer something really nice and comfortable for people traveling to Baja... and it is very nice you
guys help him fullfill this reason to be... everytime he listens to one of your nice comments, his face glows like saying...I made it!!!... .... THANK YOU!!!
After 30 years of hard work, my father is finally seeing one of his dreams come true...and another one of those is coming... my wife is having a baby
girl (our first child) in a couple of weeks now!!!... and since my dad and mom lost the first baby they had (a girl, and she was born dead more than
30 years ago), and never had a girl again in their lifes... they have always had this hole in their heart... it seems God is about to fill this space
for them again thru us.
Thanks again averyone for your comments... you are most welcome.
And you are quite right Mexray...room 103 is like a tumb... very, very silent.
Antonio M.

Antonio:
Congrats on your new child (whenever she arrives!). Also, your hotel is certainly one of the most deserving of the award, a job well done. You and
your father should be proud and hopefully other establisments will follow your business method!

Mucho Felizidades to the Baja Cactus amigos....we rarely stay in hotels but we did last week and the muchacha who attended to us was wonderful...this
is by far the best service I have ever had at any hotel in Baja and we will recommend it to everyone. Excellent service is so rare here and the rooms
as everyone mentioned are terrific. Bravo!

Wow! Sounds like it's worth a trip to El Rosario just to stay at the hotel, which we'll do. Anything to get out of Punta Banda (Newport Beach South)
in summer!
Antonio, congratulations to your father on the realization of his dream, and to you and your esposa on the fulfilment of yours.

Where I am now, or Punta Banda....I'd rather be in Punta Banda right now, but curious as to why you compair it to Newport Beach South?

You know, wall-to-wall SUV's (anything smaller than an Expedition need not apply); having nothing to do with the indigenas; creating more garbage in a
weekend than a local family generates in a month; not respecting the beach; etc., etc. Nice picture, Paulina, but do you have any close-ups of Punta
Estero in summer? Yes, it is and hopefully always will be a beautiful place, but in summer it takes a lot of abuse. Granted, to people in less blessed
places, I probably come across as one whale of a whiner. Guess that comes from loving the place a lot.

Bajamigo, let me help you out....people trying to create gated communities where no one is welcome and look like no one actually lives there, til the
weekend when they try to get 16 people into a house that can handle....oh, 4 comfortably??? And they come in what looks like 1 person per SUV (not
car, SUV). Oh, but this thread is about the Baja Cactus Motel -- we look forward to staying there on our next visit to El Rosario.
