Historically the spelling has been Rosalillita. I don't know of any other Spanish name with two i's together: Rosaliita?
Like Santa Ynez vs. Santa Ines, it may be one that is okay either way?
That doesn't give a pass to Guerro instead of Guerrero Negro, Puertocitos instead of Puertecitos, or Alphonsina's instead of Alfonsina's, however! LOL

The turn off to Rosalillita is about 85 miles south of Catavina and then 9-10 miles out to the town. Not "hundreds of miles." |
Still, to put it into drive time perspective, that's a lot of slow, bad road south of Catavi-n-a and about 2 hours of driving.

Stayed at the hotel in Nuveo Rosarito 2 weeks ago on the inland side as you come into to town from the north. 300nm per night, clean rooms. They might
also do showers as they are kinda of truck stop.
We tried to get into Maru but it was sold out for the night, we went back to the highway and a bit farther south.

Yes, It's painted along the wall "Cactus Hotel". The cafe next door runs it. It's kinda like a truck stop. When we were there the ABC bus changed
drivers and grabbed some coffee, used the WC.

Juan & I were at a funeral in Nuevo Rosarito that lasted for 2 days so we stopped in at that hotel there to get a room but they were full so we
headed down to Rosalillita to Hotel Maru...20 minutes away and were happy to get room #1 which is a double with nice beds.
I asked Ms.Maru if the rooms were rented long term and she said NO NO NO and the 4 rooms are available...she mentioned her business was hurting and
could use more guests. The room was freshly painted but no more tv and she was choked that people had been stealing everything, towels, remote
control, movies and even sheets!
So she is open for business and will even cook for you if you ask her. She also said they had internet but I couldnt get it to work. The direct number
is 664-134-6234 but sometimes the system is down so you can call a GN # who calls them on the radio..615-157-0262 and please tell her Shari sent you.
I will do a separate post on the funeral when I get home...I am in GN for the night hoping to schmooze with some whales tomorrow morning...if it stops
raining...sheesh!

Question.. Is the marina/ ramp open to launch a 25' boat?
On GE the marina walls still look in tack.. ramp is there, but not clear enough to see if there is any activity...

Good tip, instead of staying in Cataviña I rather go to Santa Rosalillita and enjoy the ocean; but... when driving thru Cataviña do stop at the
restaurant across the road from the hotel: great food...
Shari please confirm the phone number in GN:

you guys are responding to Shari's post from Jan 2015. her info is incorrect currently. Maru has monthly renters from the village and no rooms for
travelers. call and find out for yourself.
the marina in not operational. you can drive onto the hard pack and launch right up against the south jetty like the co-op does. bring an extender
hitch.

I dont think the marina ramp is usable but the fishermen just launch from the beach there. Hotel Maru doesnt have rooms these days as they are rented
out long term to workers there. Sorry, the guerrero negro number WAS wrong...it is 615-157-0263!

when I stayed at Hotel Maru in February this year, en route to meet Shari @Ojo de Liebre, I awoke early to talk w/locals before heading south. They
said the marina was silted in, too shallow for boats of any size. It was a source of local jokes.
(Another step of of "Escalera Nautica" gone astray.)

once someone finally gets around to making it work, the last thing to do is dredge. why waste money keeping it open when there is nothing to gain.
they could also extend the jetty to create a breakwall.
either way, the best man-made wave in Baja will go extinct....
