Cabo Santos

According to this article in the Gringo Gazette, there is a massive development (500 hotel rooms) planned for just south of Todos Santos, incorporating the existing El Mirador restaurant and El Faro beach club. And instead of even pretending to integrate with the area's smaller projects, they are calling the development "Cabo Santos."

Oh boy... :rolleyes:

Hoping it doesn't actually come to fruition.

Cabo Santos? Holy Cape? They should scale it down and make it unique - not "same as". I wonder what the vacancy rate is in the Cabos for hotel rooms and residences. Very quick AirBnB search has "over 1000" rentals available in Cabo, plus there are other rental sites.

Todos Santos was ruined by gringos long ago. The proposed hotel development will fit right in with the bloated mcmansions that gringos built

"Cabo Santos" does have a ring to it!

Where are they going to get the water for that hotel? My understanding is that the ground water use is already maxed out.

If they do install a de-salination system, what will they do with the brine waste?

Maybe they can sell the brine waste to the salt works at Guerrero Negro.

salt works in Guerrero Negro are no longer selling salt. Government took over the 49% from Mitsubishi and raised prices. Nobody is buying at the higher prices.
Workers are being laid off in Gurrero Negro.

Put the brine back in the ocean.

Is it possible that eventually this would raise the salt level in an area to the point of harming ocean life? Or, would the ocean be able to absorb the continual brine deposit without a raise to its salinity level.
