last couple of trips I have been staying at Campo Archelon (sp).
3 minutes north of town just before larry and raquels. 3 sided palapas with big cots for 8 bucs a head 15 feet from the water. Showers and toilets.
or you can rent one of his rooms for 30 bucs. so nice to sleep on the water.

Contrary of a few negatives spoken about this GREAT place here at the BN......you'll find this to be the get away spot. Near town.....a few miles. Dead on the beach, arrangements for what ever you may need....including a lady that will come in to fix your dinner from the day's catch.....free kayaks. Contact by email or their FB page. Excellent rates BTW

Thanks for the responses all, how about if we want to stay on the beach?

I always stay at Guillermo's. Simple but clean. Huge rooms, great restaurant. It's on the water at the south end of town, right at the bend.

Yes, Camp Archelon have cabins on the beach. Cost $50(?), with shower and some kitchen. I haven't been inside. The electricity is provided by small solar panel (looks like 100W panel). No A/C of course. There is no phone. Email Antonio to book your stay, the camp is popular with Mexicans in summer. He speaks fluent English and is polite and helpful person.

Yes, palapas $8 a head, also on the beach. Nice if views and tranquility is what you're looking for. Just keep in mind that this is not a Mariott Hotel.

In the last few years the camp has somewhat lost its tranqulity, few expats built homes and are running generators, and the live-in caretaker (his supposed role) is running a car/boat/anything repair shop in the middle of the camp. But it's quieter on waterfront.

Ruben Daggets next door also has "sort of waterfront" sites, but no palapas and campers there are packed next to one another. You'll have more privacy at Antonio's. Daggets is a big operation, they have a motel on the camp, not sure about A/C.

If you just want to camp and don't need a palapa or room, La Gringa is a nice area. It is located about 10 miles north of town.



The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

We stayed at the Princess Motel up on the hill above town when we were there, price was great, but again, its up on the hill. Small room, big comfortable bed and had AC (we didn't need it though)

Larry and Raquel House Rental

It's been a while since I stayed out at Raquel and Larry's and was wondering if the beach house is still rented out. Who runs the place now? Is there a contact?
