Cielito Lindo renovation and area update
We have completed over $15,000 dlls renovation and feel pretty good about the place. Good water, electric, bar & food and rooms. Still old time
Baja. Juanita is supervising the operation for the owner Esteban. Still not even 2 star but fun.
Lot of changes in the San Quintin valley. Colonet has a new motel etc south of town, Irene's Posado Don Diego is still a great place to go. Groupo Los
Pinos has renovated the old hotel La Pinta and also have the Old Mill bar & restaurant, due to open this week. Jim & Nancy still have the
great motel. Jardines de Baja still has excellent food and motel. Lots of fishing opportunities in that area.
And of course in El Rosario a fellow Nomad has his finest motel next to Mama E's.
Come on down and enjoy the area.

Good info! Over the years many Baja travelers shared the word about the fun & hijinks at Cielito Lindo. If the weather is nice I always try to
stay another day to drive around. Suerte. Tio

There use to be a motel, resturant and bar called the Old Pier a little south of the Old Mill on the water east side. I haven't seen the sign for it
in several years. Anyone know what happened to it?

The Old Mill Bar/Restaurant really is going through a very nice remodel/expansion. The last I heard it was supposed to be reopening before the end of
this month.
To be honest, it has been quite a while since we have stopped by Cielito Lindo. We will definitely make the trip around the bay to stop by and check
out what's new. Glad to hear of the renovations. We all need a little sprucing up as the years go by...

old pier
The family that owned old pier sold it to several Americans and opened El Faro restaurant in Papalote, a small town about 10k south of San Quintin.
The old pier is closed and rapidly deteriorating

I think Cielito Lindo has just about the best margaritas I've ever had.

But you know you are always welcome...

I ran into Keri and Porky Pig at Cielito Lindo a few weeks ago when we needed a place to stay in San Quintin. We ended up staying in the some of the
recently renovated rooms. They were spacious, clean and a great value at $20 per night!
