Favorite place to stay, LA Bay 
 
 
I know we all have our favorite places to stay when traveling in Baja. Since Gonzaga Bay is all booked up so for next Saturday I am thinking we will
be staying the night in LA Bay.  I haven't be there in 10 years and would love to hear from Nomads about your favorite places to stay for a night or
maybe 2.  
 
Thanks all.

Costa del Sol, specially the original rooms... The new building (2009) bed was harder than concrete... so check it out, or bring an air mattress, if
still that way! 
 
The food made there was great (soup was awesome) too!

I second that about Costa del Sol. Clean rooms, decent food and good drinks. If you want some great food, venture to the north end of town to
Alejandrina's. It's on the east side of the road just north of the circle. 
 
 
 
 
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

Yes, and they are all different.  I prefer accommodations on the beach, even if rooms were not renovated recently. Costa del Sol is on the other side
of the main street, no waterfront there.   Not very cheap, but better locations North of town are more expensive yet, and not always better quality. 
You have nothing to lose staying at Costa one or two nights.

A good place on the beach In L A Bay is Guillermo's.  It's hard to beat the sunrise there.  The drinks are good, food is pretty good to really good. 
It's a little tired, but authentic.  It's the only place I've stayed in LA Bay.

Wasn't too impressed with Daggetts. Only been there once though. Toilet didn't flush, water pressure was non existent, as was hot water, rooms run
down and small. Expensive. Wanted to stay at Villa Bahia hotel but they didn't have room. The owner there was really nice. We ended up cutting our
trip short at Daggetts and ended up camping at La Gringa.

I like Larry and Raychel place next door to Daggets right on the beach room are basic and clean. It works for us.

I also vote for Costa del Sol.  For a small fee, there was a very kind woman who did a bit of laundry for us.

on the road to Gringa 
 
 
just a bit past the military base is a spot next to Campo Amigos/El Payaso. look for this structure. it might cost $5/night just because. 
  
 
the kitchen is on the left. this is your view:

We've been staying at Daggetts for over twenty years. We stayed in their cabanas. Lots of water and the toilets flushed fine as usual. I even climbed
Mikes mtn. Ruben and Amanda are Awesome. If you want something away from town 1.5 miles ,  and twenty feet away from the water, That's a place you
might want to check out   Tell them Von says Hi from Poway.
 
 
 
 
READY SET.....................
