Casa de Ana in San Javier

motoged - 1-15-2011 at 10:34 AM

Nomads,
The internet doesn't give any clear info regarding the number or type of "units" at Casa de Ana in San Javier. Does anyone have first-hand info regarding the number of "rooms" or whatever are offered at this place.... (I have done a BN search and the hotel Oasis site pops up but no info re: Casa de Ana).

Gracias:saint:

Casa de Ana
San Javier
Tel: 01152 (613) 135-1552

I came across them once before in searching for Loreto hotels and I seem to remember the price was pretty high but a minute ago I found where someone rated them as excellent at a fair price. Give em a call and let us know what the deal is.

Maybe I am not understanding what it is you want. Is not the number I posted for the Casa de Ana hotel?

Here is their web site with info on the accomodations.

DK I think the number is for the Oasis hotel in Loreto which owns the Casa de Ana in San Javier.

Ged if you stay there let us know how you liked it and the resturant too.

David K - 1-16-2011 at 10:44 AM

I want to try their "flower" tortillas, too! :biggrin:

TW,
You can count on that !!!;D:saint:

Sorry for my first reply to you....It sounded snotty and I apologize for that. You provided the link with the info I was wanting (# of units/electricity capacity.....( i.e. "five casitas", "electricity from late afternoon to 10:00 pm [or so....], bathroom facility available...).

Rate seems to be around $33-39..... and one "restaurant" and one family who "cooks for donation" [i.e. woman serves what family is eating and accepts "what you think it is worth" for payment].

My previous post re: "Loreto accommodations" led me to three good options (thanks Nomads)....but a night in San Javier has a lot more "Baja cachet" to it :cool:

The Casa de Ana is owned and operated by Anita Benzger the Daughter of Gloria and Bill Benzger.
Bill is the Original builder of the Hotel Oasis. His wife Gloria was the First Congresswomen of the New State of Baja Sur and a member of the Davis Family a very strong and powerful Family in the Loreto Area.

Call the Hotel and talk to Anita and she can tell you about Casa Ann.

Skeet when did they build the hotel there? I was last thru there maybe 8-10 years ago and I don't remember a hotel. Of course there are a lot of things I don't remember.

David K - 1-16-2011 at 02:35 PM

Tom, from Ged's photos you can see the rooms hardly look like a hotel. We noticed them in 2009 when we drove up to San Javier. Oh, the road up from Loreto was also paved almost halfway (10 of the 22 miles I recall).

I used to stop at that place when motorcycling through before it became Casa de Ana, the ramada there seemed to be a gathering place for 3 or 4 older men who were very cordial. Sodas were available and it was a nice spot to sit and relax for a bit.

Skeet/Loreto - 1-17-2011 at 07:44 AM

It was started about 10 years ago.

I saw little numbered casitas when we were there in 2009. They are on the east side of the approach road to the mission, with 100yds+ of the mission. I asked about them and was told they were for "tourists to rent". I didn't get any more details. They look very nice from the outside.

Were not talking hotel in the usual sense, I would definitely give them a try though. It would be a great experience spending the night there.

They were installing power lines to the town at that time, withing a few miles.

I haven't been up to San Javier since 1998, but at that time you could get lunch and cold beers at a woman's home where she had an open air kitchen. It was a great experience to sit in this woman's home, trying to communicate in Spanish...and when you wanted another beer she just walked over to her refrigerator, opened it and got you another. I need to find the time to go back up there again to see what "progress" has brought to San Javier in the last 12 years.

Hun? What are these David?

A friend and I rode quads into San Javier from Loreto on Christmas morning 1999. Way cool, the mission doors were open so we went in and took a look around. After we came out of the mission a guy came up to us and asked if we thirsty and would like to buy some beers. We said we sure would, followed the guy across the road to a patio with a few of those white plastic chairs on it, drank 3 or 4 Pacificos. These were probably the best tasting beers I ever had, in a tiny town, on a dirt road, up in the mountains of Baja.

Driving up there today for lunch. Anyone I should say Hi to for you?

That's from the web site for the place... they just used the wrong English word that sounded the same, I think!:lol:
