Got that,
CapKat. Then, El Morro at the south end of Sta. Rosalia might be your choice equal to Motel Mulege (MM). It is a bit tired, the door isn't going to
keep any bad guy out if they really want in, but there's pretty secure parking all considered (not gated, but walled). The advantage over MM is you
needn't drive into town and the parking lot is bigger and there is a restaurant on-site. You can also ask for a room with a sweeping sea-view.
Downside, it may be full: seemed to be the housing of choice for the white-collars, not blue-, of the mining operation when we went thru earlier this
year.

I personally love the El Morro. The only thing it lacks is a thorough cleaning! Just check the room closely before you unload. Ask for another if it
looks "neglected".
It looked about half full when I was there in November. Lots of trucks from the mine in the lot, and still lots of parking.
Keep your eyes on the road, and your hands upon the wheel!

We also love the Hotel Morroin San ta Rosalia - and had the most disgusting meal of our 10 years in Baja last stay 18 months ago . . . eat elsewhere.
I would also note that restaurants and personnel change - so maybe some intrepid soul could report.

As of last week, same advice, better food available elsewhere.

So.... Any recommendations for decent eats in Santa Rosalia? I've read about El Muelle, never having been there. But in all of my stops there, I've
been hard pressed to find a really good restaurant. Is El Muelle it?

This is a hijack
which, if there were more dining options in Sta. Rosalia, would be worthy of its own thread, but since there's few sit-down inside eateries, let's
just quickly note the other two restaurants in town:
~ the roast chicken place on the right opposite the plaza just as you come into town is good. Nice appetizers, chicken and desserts. They even have a
sandwich on the menu. Ask 'em to cook the french fries just a little longer 'till they're golden (consistently pasty).
~ a new- and good- Chinese food restaurant has opened at the south end of town at the top of the malecon on the curve.

Howard,
The three "eaterias" we keep going back to are:
El Muelle, breakfast, lunch and dinner full bar. NW corner adjacent to the plaza where the municipal building is located.
Terco's Pollito, breakfast is the only meal I have had there, but many rave over the barbequed chicken they serve. They are located on the right as
you just enter Santa Rosalia by turning right off Mex 1 heading south.
Pepe's Taco stand, excellent shrimp and fish tacos across street on left side from Terco's restaurant. Right next to the little park.

Sounds like some of you want a Best Western in a Bad Southern place.
I have paid over $200 /night for places that don't hold a candle to even the Hacienda... ambiance, history, and the fact you are out of Des Moines
makes all these places superior in my opinion.
If you don't like it...stay home or whine about it to someone who might care.

We stayed there in September and I almost electrocuted myself when I put my bare feet on the floor while holding my laptop that was plugged into the
wall. Other than that it was OK.

The restaurant at El Morro in Santa Rosalia is not owned by the hotel family anymore.
Seems like a falling out with the restaurant family has caused a lot of hard feelings with the hotel family.

findings. Ciao!
