Hotels in Baja depend on your level of tolerance, most good hotels are similar to a motel six. The better hotels for the upper class are in Cabo not
the upper regions of Baja. Not saying they aren't good just don't think of the Ritz. You just have to lower your level of expectation. Then you'll
love it. A good bed, hot shower and air when it's warm are the basic stuff to look for. TV may or may not have english channels. It's the overall
experience that makes for a great trip. Me I prefer to camp two days then stay in a hotel to cleanup then camp some more. Nothing like sleeping under
the stars with the ocean waves taking you to sleep and when you wake up. Catching some fresh fish makes it even better.
I forgot to add the people. Do engage them. You would be surprised how just knowing a few words in Spanish can make for an enjoyable conversation as
you both try to understand each other.

Reported where? I would think with all the Nomads there or passing through, such a report would be on Baja Nomad first?
Can't be too surprised if it is true... the pavement has arrived, and with it ALL kinds of people!*

Thanks bud, yeah I'm pretty familiar with travel in MX. We had a house in Sonora for 5 years (Hook stayed there once a while back), and I've done a
couple 500 mile trips down the coast of Baja launching from San Felipe in a boat.
So, have been to San Felipe, but just haven't ridden out of there or Gonzaga.
A couple of my MX buddies are coming up from San Carlos to join us.

Reported locally. That is why there is a gate and secruity guards at Alfonsinas now. And they are still ripping stuff off. Not all things can be
found on Nomad. Like the recent home invasion robbery at Percibu
Reported where? I would think with all the Nomads there or passing through, such a report would be on Baja Nomad first?

Happens if you type before the [ /quote] tag
You can edit your posts if you want to fix, change or totally remove them. The edit button is on the top right of your posts... Because JZ's photos
are bigger than the Nomad page, you need to scroll to the right to see (if on a standard monitor).
Posting the bad news would be great for you to share here since you seem to have an inside of crime at Percebu and Alfonsina's? Thank you.
