Raquel and Larry's

Does anybody know the current status of Raquel and Larry's (I am aware of the tragic death of Raquel)?

I tried to email at bahiatours@aol.com but email was bounced back.

Are they open for business? Rates? Restaurant open? Air conditioning operational?

Thanks,

Preston

I was camping at Daggett's next door back in March. We went to Larry's & Rachael's almost every day for breakfast. Sure beats camp breakfasts plus nice to talk to the patrons. We would have stayed there but they do not permit campers just hotel guests. I forget the woman's name running the place in Larry's absence but she is a task master. She helped run Larry's business in Ensenada and he asked to relocate to BOLA to run the hotel there. Larry happened to come down the week we were there and I had an opportunity to talk to him. He was quite jovial, witty and talkative but I know he was grieving inside. Great place, well run, resonable rates for hotel living in BOLA, food is still delicious and ambiance is incredible. If I was a hotel type I'd stay there but do not miss the food.

Does anyone know how much they charge to stay in the beach houses?

Having no luck contacting them right now.

Thanks,
Tex

Haven't been there since 3/07. We camped at daggett's and ate breakfast at R&L's place. If I remember correctly their one beach house rented for $110/nite and the rooms were about $50/nite.

Over New Year's 2003 when Gecko was full, the Humfreville's and Debra rented the house at Raquel & Larry's and my kids and I set up our tents in front...

David is right, however..........the 10 bed house for the per nt. rate turned into (once we arrived) the $100 plus $10pp., we had 9 people if I remember right, so make sure you clarify before you commit.. We weren't prepared for the rate to double.

Deb, What did you expect to happen when they saw a bunch of tents in front of the place. :lol::lol:

David K - 9-7-2007 at 05:48 PM

Funny as usual Tom, but the kids and I didn't arrive at Raquel & Larry's until a few days AFTER Debra and the Humfreville's did. We first camped north of Bahia de los Angeles at Bahia Guadalupe and Punta Candelero.

I was just responding to your original post. Which you have since edited. as usual.

that doesn't seem too much to pay...very fair

think how much water 9 people use each day...

plus....wear and tear...

did the $10 per day cover the camping spot too???

Minnow - 9-7-2007 at 06:01 PM

Bob, what is going to be your policy when someone decides to set up a tent camp in front of one of the five, or is it six, casitas you have built?

Bob and Susan - 9-7-2007 at 06:06 PM

sorry no camping here...

i've made an agreement with my neighbor at Naranjos Campo to take ALL campers and motorhomes...

people can come here and bring ONLY there mercedes:lol:

we even have robes for the guests...ONLY because I love hanging around in a robe in the winter evenings:lol:

What 'original post'? This wasn't a thread began by me, but you used it to promote your hate DK stuff with the silly comment to Debra, which I am only correcting. The same old minnow is back... and you promissed to play nice if Doug let you back on, too...:rolleyes:

Minnow - 9-7-2007 at 06:39 PM

David K - 9-7-2007 at 06:43 PM
