Wondering if anyone knows about the hotel in BLA? I will be camping at Daggetts, but my bro-in-law want to come and he is NOT a camper. Mauro, from Mauro's Posada, was in some sort of accident and they are closed. I heard the hotels are expensive and not very nice. Anyone stay in a cabin at Daggetts? How rough is that? Thanks!

Costa del Sol original rooms are popular. Guillermos hasn't had complaints either.

Mia has a page of accommodations available on her website.

Next time I am going to try out Motel Princess up on the hill.

Costa Del Sol. Friendly folks, good food and really cold beer! The rooms are decent, clean, A/C works and there is hot water. What more do you need?

Bugman - 9-5-2014 at 11:02 AM

If you want to be close to your bro-in-law just have him stay in one of the cabins that Daggetts will rent. I have stayed there a couple times and no complaint. They are not a 5 star hotel but they are perfectly fine. If he thinks those are not good enough then consider revoking his man card :yes:

Found a cabin at Campo Archelon that might work. I have submitted photos to my sister to see if my BIL will be comfortable in such a "rustic" setting. Something tells me once he gets down there he will not want to leave. He is so used to 5 star vacations, he has forgotten what it's like to get a little dirty and experience nature.

Any ideas on where to get fresh shrimp? Any place nearby?

redhilltown - 9-5-2014 at 11:40 PM

I have never seen shrimp for sale there but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen! The boats don't come in there like they do at San Felipe. Ask down at the ramp at Guillermo's...if not shrimp I'm sure you can rustle up something from the fishermen. (everyone wants fillets...try to get some yellowtail collars...best meat anyways!).

The only problem with Costa del Sol is she refuses to run the AC at certain times of the year. We checked out early and moved to a place that didn't do this bull crap.

That ain't right!

Daggetts has a motel right there at the campsite. It's not bad at all....not the Holiday Inn either.

Went ahead and reserved a stone beach cabin with Antonio and Bety at Campo Archelon. After showing my BIL pics, he grudgingly accepted. He has no idea how much he will love it. Mom and I are heading out with the van and camping supplies on Sunday before Thanksgiving and everyone else will be meeting us on Wed with all the turkey fixings. Thank you for all the input and help. I really wanted to meet Mauro and stay at the posada, but maybe next time. I hope he recovers from whatever accident he suffered. Thanks guys!

I think all hotels in this town are in "nature". So it boils down to how much your brother is spoiled. On Thanksgiving you won't need an A/C. Antonio's place is quiet - or used to be. They don't appreciate late night parties. Have never been to their cabins, but from what I know, it's a no-frills, simple accommodation, limited power supply from solar and battery. Won't cost as much as Costa del Sol either.

Marc - 9-10-2014 at 06:19 PM

What's with your brother? I expect and get a 5 star in London or Paris, but Mexico?? Just check that the toilet works and the shower is luke warm. Really!:?::?::?:

David K - 9-10-2014 at 06:29 PM

Baja is an outdoors vacation... even sleeping outside is preferred. Hotels are ok if in transit (so you don't have to unpack for an over night stop), or if you don't have your own private site, for privacy.

Ditto. Hotel is just a place to sleep. People are asking for "5-star hotel" and they get a 5-star price, an easy thing to do. Mauro's Posada is reasonably priced, $25 (?). All the internet in hotels is through individual satellite dishes, don't expect it to be the same as NOB, no matter how much you pay. No WiFi on the camps though. No cell phones (thanks God).
