Thank you Arturo for the information. I hope all goes well in rebuilding. I'll be passing thru next week chasing for the NORRA 1000 race and I look
forward to staying in the Hotel Mision Santa Maria on my way back from La Paz. I've stayed there many times when it was the La Pinta and look forward
to seeing the new look etc.

Welcome to the Nomad board, Arturo, an open and honest forum even for the paranoids who have weighed in on this issue. I appreciate your sharing your
insights with us about the fire; I also believe your statement about the US discouraging tourism was sincere. Of course the US government doesn't
discourage visits to Mexico, but the US press sure as hell does.

Arturo,
I hope you kept the rooms that have the jacuzzi in them.
The restaurant at La Pinta was not excellent but good. In other words...we would eat there again.
The restaurant at Molino Viejo, has much to overcome. But trying to attract locals will be a challenge because of the drive from the main road. And
tourism in San Quintin is down considerably, therefore tourism diners from both hotels (Don Eddie's as well as Old Mill Hotel) will not be plentiful.
You have a tough task ahead of you.
Since your launch ramp is heavily used by fishermen, and you have several lancheros, I would make a very large banner hanging from the restaurant and
directed toward fishermen...
"Bring us your catch of the day, and we will make it your catch of the day in our dining
room".

I do believe that the US government warnings on travel to Mexico, among other things, have had an effect on tourism. |
Considering that's what they're supposed to do, I'd say your in depth analysis is correct.

You have nothing to apologize for and the comment you made about the lack of tourists was appropriate and has been said many times on this forum.
News organizations like to print bad news more than they like to print good news. Hopefully when the restaurant is open, you will be able to get some
good publicity about the hotel and the restaurant.
A couple of questions, please. The road out there can be so awful and I just wondered if your company will be able to grade it more often? Also, is
the hotel accepting pets?
As I said before, I wish you luck, we are happy that beautiful spot will be improved, and we will try the restaurant when it is open.
Please post about more than the restaurant and hotel.
BTW---we wish someone would buy the old La Pinta in Catavina, fix it up, improve the restaurant, and charge reasonable prices.
Diana

Pets Welcome
Most small pets are welcome at the hotel at Santa Maria Beach, we have wireless internet (still trying to make it faster) and I think I've seen medium
size dogs but you can still ask our manager Nelson and arrange reservations!
Tel. 616 165 9008
and about the road We are trying to arrange something with the authorities so they can make a true road to the molino hopefully with the Museum at the
restaurant and the cultural relevance that such thing will have, they might agree and start laying some asphalt
whish us luck!

I'm a bit confused. Are you talking about the old Old Mill Restaurant that will be opening in July? If so, PLEASE do something about the "road" into
the place. If not, where is the Molino Viejo located?

Molino Viejo Map
This is a map for the place as for the road We are trying to improve it but since it is an state road we need goverment clearance and support, we are
confident the creation of the museum will force the goverment 's culture department to put some pressure into the matter!

Arturo, good luck with your projects and thanks for your input here. If you want my dos centavos, have FRESH fish on the menu, with special
preparation. Don't know what that might be - ask chefs with winning recipes. Also, have a "Mexican" dish - enchiladas or something. Become famous
for just one "signature" recipe. I hope the re-building has a lot of old Baja rancho flair reflecting its history. A little museum would be nice -
I wish you every success.

Some sort of a really really good exotic/creative chilli relleno, like
maybe lobster or crab or ? would make a great specialty/signature dish IMO

Now for the bar I was thinking on "starters" like the famous buffalo wings, fries, nachos, cheese fingers, ceviche filled avocados, enchiladas, ginger
sauce octopus ceviche, fried calamar, and many more classics!

Fish Menu
As the top suggestion for the menu along with the lobster I would include Grilled Nayarit Style Sarandeado Fish

Arturo...
The lobster has to be fresh and local (Baja caught).
If your only choice is the imported Chilean lobster, take lobster off the menu, or offer lobster only when available locally.
