...Are they pet friendly? I tried checking the website but it is under construction with zero information except the phone numbers and email address.


I don't know, but send them an email or call them and find out, they speak English and respond to emails.




...work to camp and fish.... dream to be there....

I love the Villas in SQ-- the restaurant is fine and Jardin's is minutes away. (For the record, I've stayed at Jardin's twice and didn't like either room -- both dysfunctional. Must be me as it's popular. Still, the Villas are the best out of all the choices: clean, modern, great location. (They have dog rooms which I've checked out (when I had a doggie) and the room smelled like a kennel… nope on that.)

Gotta second the Hotel Santa Maria in San Quintin. It's only 30 minutes to El Rosario and c'mon people it's right on the beach!

That's where I usually stay.

There were some recent negative reports about Villa San Quintin over on Talk Baja. Some of the locals refuse to go to the restaurant and there was an alleged theft of a computer.

Can't find anything online. Guess the locals don't like the food? I don't leave valuables in a motel room anyway. It's on me or in my car -- with the alarm on. The bright blue strobe is impossible to miss in the dark.

Iimpressed? Hardly. Bet you're impressed though.

2 sirens that cannot be disabled and 2 kill-switches that will never be found. You're kidding, right?

The Sea Ray is old news. Just backed right up, hitched up and drove off. Someone dropped the ball. Big time.

PS No locals at the restaurant, less crowds.

We have stayed at Villas San Quentin many times. Pet friendly, very clean and love the restaurant. Last time we stayed we had lots of stuff on top of our car in a rack with nothing touched. We will continue to stay there.

We'll probably be heading to Mulege in about two weeks if the current storm-hurricane pattern stays the same: it keeps heading west from Baja:


Well it seems like the force of storm-hurricans still is heading west of Baja even Linda is heading west.... then we'll be heading south to Mulege after all... hopefully... if this pattern keeps the same we'll be doing our pit stop at El Rosario after all... boat is almost ready and the boys start fall break on the 18th so we take off as soon as school day ends... can't wait for it...!!!...:spingrin:...:tumble:

I stayed at Ed's Baja's Best (on the edge of town at the end going south). They have a few rooms - separate like a motel, not inside a main house like a B&B. The room was HUGE - had 3 beds - more pillows and towels than you could use. I had dinner and breakfast there as well. There is a nice backyard garden setting with a view, and gated parking area. Very pleasant.

thanks wilderone...that is good to know about Ed's place.

Oh and David...a couple years ago, we changed our title here in Asuncion from a B&B to La Bufadora Inn when we built more hotel rooms. I can still do my big breakfast if you order it...or if you are a "special" guest!
