Nicest place in Guerrero Negro -- Hotel Caracoles
http://www.hotelloscaracoles.com.mx/
This is it. $50/night, everything is clean and new. One year old. Cable TV. Nice.
Tell Raul that Sherry sent you. Lee too.

Yes, and Sirenita works there, too... By the way, there is actually a special forum here on Nomad for accommodation reviews: http://forums.bajanomad.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=49

Young lady, better be careful with the company you keep!
Sirenita is a delightful, beautiful MexiCanadian senorita. Yes, she is a real asset to Hotel Caracoles. We stayed there last night and I met both
Sirenita and Lee for the first time. Sirenita was very busy with her homework....do you hear me Sherry? Had a nice chat with Lee on the front porch.
We solved all the world's problems.
I highly recommend both Los Caracoles in GN and Baja Cactus in El Rosario.

My post didn't do justice and maybe more detail is needed.
Raul is muy sympatico! There is internet access in the office (on a office computer) and I got wireless outside though the signal faded just
outside my room -- which was the farthest from the office. (There is a great seafood place a block from the motel -- ask at the desk. Had a
ceveche-type dish that had octopus in it. Interesting and chewy and good.)
A ''No Pets" sign is posted on the front door of the office and hard to miss but I gave it a shot and Raul said OK -- Room 19 has no carpet, so no
problems with accidents that eventually start to smell. I always bring a dogbed for my Lab and recommend that other pet owners do the same. Dog
hair on sheets and all that.
What I told Raul about my Lab: she's clean, no fleas/ticks, sleeps in her own bed on the floor, and is never on the bed. I also offered a cleaning
fee refundable upon inspection when I check out. He trusted me, I think, and Room 19 worked fine.
Sorry I missed Sirenta (next time for sure). Thanks for stopping by Oxxo.

What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

I'm glad to hear some Nomads are staying at Los Caracoles. It's an awesome place and better than Malarrimo as it's qieter and not all that RV hussel
and bussel....glad to hear Sirena is doing her homework...she'd better keep up that 100% average OR ELSE!!! It would be really great if you could let
the owners know how valuable Sirena is there...sometimes they don't realize how great it is to have someone knowledgeable and speaks english and is
super friendly and cute to boot! OK OK, enough yadda yadda about my wonderful girl. Don't forget, Raul or Sirena can arrange a free tour of the salt
mine which is very interesting and something new to do...and she can direct you to the dunes or El Faro and great restaurants and a cool club with
live rock band too!

Is there enough room to park if you are towing a boat?

I presume you mean a fishing boat of less than 20 feet. Then yes. However Hotel Malarimo does have a larger parking lot but isn't nearly as nice.

there are lots of fish taco places, the best is my amigo Tony who has a small bus type place and it's only a couple blocks down from Los
Caracoles...say hi to tony from his maestra. Or go half a block up and eat at Laz Cazuelas....outstanding food, the chef...a real chef...was the guy
who made Malarimo famous.

holed paved road onto the dirt road....check out the 2nd layer of pavement up top and dream of driving on it, have a tecate then continue on following
the power poles till you get to the main road, turn left and keep going till ya hit the open ocean beach and turn left and wind around till ya find
our place with the sailboat and horse parked in front! got the tecate on ice

It is approximately 45 miles from Viscaino on a often potholed asphalt road to the left turn-off towards Asuncion. At the turn, you will take a side
road along the left side of the main road for a few miles until you can get on the main road past the construction. Continue on and make sure that you
bear left to follow the power lines when you get to the last 1/3 or so. The dirt section is about 24 miles. You will come to a T intersection and you
will go right for about 3 miles into town. Follow the paved road to its end and beyond to the water then go left again and this will take you towards
the lighthouse-looking building which is just past Shari's. Her place is to the water/punta side of the big white co-op building.
Wish I was going with.
Have a blast !!!!

Shari and Juan recommended Laz Cazuelas in Guerro Negro to us and we celebrated Shari's birthday there.
I mean to tell you we had the best seafood we have ever had and that is saying a lot from a very snobby fisherman who catches his own salmon,
stealhead, bass, dungeness crab etc.
We had a regional dish, I believe only available in the area. It is called Lion Paw Scallops. Laz Cazuelas does them with a garlic sauce that is to
die for. I have never tasted a sea food dish so good. It is somewhere in the taste pallet of Scallops/Abalone/Crab and incredibly good.
They also do a chocolate clam in a lime cilantro sauce that will have you licking the plate.
