Sample some of the many Punta Banda Nomad casas. Most of our kitchens include creative cooks, shelves full of spirits and minds overflowing with
character.
Several of the characters here can be enjoyed far beyond 1 beverage. My door is literally always open.

Hey, I am sure a room can be had at Cantina La Salina. Talk about local color.

If this is a poll, I vote for La Fonda. Why? In no particular order:
Excellent margaritas.
Rooms perched over a great beach with good waves.
No televisions in the rooms (the ones they have are just props), so no idiot next door keeping you up all night with sitcoms or waking you up early
with the Today Show. Want TV? Go to the bar.
Hot, good coffee at the bar in the morning. Want to make some crappy coffee in your own room? Stay at Holiday Inn.
Excellent margaritas. No kidding.
Funky rooms that are simple but clean, some with fireplaces. I especially recommend rooms 20 and 21.
Fantastic views, incredible sunsets.
Did I mention the excellent margaritas?
Good food. I've heard about the odd bad experience, but personally I've never had a bad meal there (that I can remember, anyway). The grilled quail
are excellent. Ditto the steamed clams and just about everything else.
Slow service. It's Mexico. Get used to it and slow the hell down.
Cheesy entertainment. See previous entry. Vegas, it ain't, but that's the point.
The Sunday brunch. Truly epic and ridiculous. Once you see it you'll understand what I'm talking about.
Chickens. There used to be a burro, but that's another story. |
Don't forget the live music. Usually a guy on a classical guitar cranking out some classic tunes. I've been there when there was a three piece band
too though.
The Pyramid Resort a just a mile north of La Fonda is beautiful as well. Consider staying there and taking the 2 min. drive down to La Fonda to wine
and dine?
Oh and bring or buy your own drinking water.

As another single female I have been driving down alone for 3 years now. I have a place near Oceanside and and a place near Rosarito. I drive down,
usually alone, 2 or 3 weekends per month. I come through San Ysidro Border crossing and continue on the toll road. I've also driven back at night a
few times. I have never had any kind of problem or felt concerned.
A girlfriend and I drove down to Guerrero Negro and San Ignacio last March to see the whales. Spent a week exploring the area and again no problems.
Anytime we would pull over to look at the cactus or the flowers people would stop to ask if we were okay or if we needed anything. That hasn't
happened in my 30+ years of driving in California
Have a good trip.

others mentioned on this site. |
I agree, I've stayed there very nice.
