Maybe the OP (weebray) will consider editing the title of his post from "Shame on you Antonio" to "Baja Cactus struggles with water crisis" or some
other neutral wording. Antonio never lies and has always been a hero and non-political. The bathroom in his motel lobby has ALWAYS been available when
the Pemex bathrooms were closed. Antonio has posted that many time over the years. It is the door to the left of the front desk.

well at least Antonio must listen....go back five years and listen to the mostly negative hotel reviews by prominent nomads, of course with the
exception of you know who  so Antonio has made strides and I sure
hope this water issue gets better....pray for lots of rain!
and interestingly enough, notice who authored the thread!

If a restroom is unusable because there is no water, it should remain locked, or it will quickly become unusable because of disgusting conditions.
However....I suggest that Antonio immediately adopt a policy of making sure that there is a bucket of water in the restroom at all times for an
emergency flush and refill! All employees should be trained that a customer with an urgent need should be promptly given access, or
the key.
It is only a short term fix, but it would prevent a customer from having a bad experience that will tarnish the image of the business.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

I can confirm everything Antonio said regarding the water situation in El Rosario.

In follow-up posts, it seems this notation by Antonio has been overlooked. It's always been my understanding that Nomads (or perhaps anyone who asks)
is invited to use the hotel's lobby bathroom. It's right next to the desk, small but convenient, clean, and incredibly appreciated. Hope you
appreciate it as well, and kindly leave it as clean for the next person.

Portable restrooms...
Portable restrooms now available... It is not an elegant solution... And expensive... But nonetheless a solution.
And as mentioned, the restroom at the Motel Frontdesk has been always available as well.
Thank you everyone for your understanding and support.

OP owes Antonio an apology.
And an attitude adjustment on how to be in Baja without whining.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

That's Progress, I Guess
The fact that some of those who travel extensively in Baja have any expectation of encountering a clean restroom is
amazing.
WHO would have thought that they'd see THAT day ?
Of course, even those who do will be mostly disappointed.
It's contrary to the culture.

Some of us got enough self-respect (and lack of prostate problem) to get out of the car to pee!
When I get so incontinenent and immobile that I resort to Depends and peeing in Gatorade bottles, I think I will give up travel and hire a
nurse/butler and stay home and drink whiskey and c-cktails all day
Woke!

Good that you said when not if. Plumbing changes are almost inevitable. You could stay home and drink all day now,
then you probably wouldn't have to worry about aging. Just a thought.

Sad but true Joe. Sad that most of the responders to my post spent so much time and energy trying to skewer the messenger. A familiar pattern on
this forum. A few suggested my post was too abrupt and made unsubstantiated accusations. I agree, my post was rude and "limbaugheske". (note to
self: do not write when upset or angry) Few chose to overlook the mistakes in form. One of the few that was thoughtful enough to actually think
about the post was Antonio. I commend him for his quick response.

Progress
The problem is that, the more Baja becomes like the []i]Estado Unidos, the less it is like the Baja we
loved for the last 60+ years.
It is inevitable, though. BUT, judging from attitudes among those from Latin America here in the USA, resistance to restroom evolution will
be one of the final barriers to fall.

To write Antonio should have shame because the OP was angry over a closed restroom is an embarrassment to anyone who knows Antonio.
Just another troll seeking attention by attacking a Nomad who supports this forum and his community.
