Some may refer to their closing as progress. You can certainly correct me if I am wrong, but I am of the understanding that RBV did not accept credit cards and had no reservation access other than calling direct to the hotel. Any wonder why their demise?

BTW, their website is defunct.




lets see credit cards,, me and the wife was there in 98, they accepted credit cards then,, as a matter of fact when we got home and got my first credit card bill,, they doubled billed me., the second bill was for a few dollars more to make it look like a completely different charge, after a few months Visa denied the one charge from them, as I had the receipt
maybe this would have something to do with them closing

I'm just going by the most recent posts on Tripadvisor and some other sites. Just seems to me that whoever has been running this place in recent times has been slowly bleeding cash. If they cannot afford, or choose not to afford such "luxuries" as having an 800 number or taking credit cards because of the costs involved, .......:(

I hated it when Las Arenas closed, although it didn't hold a candle to Rancho.

DEP Rancho and the old memories that go along with it.

Fully agree with Paula's statement. However I did expect it a long time coming. Heard in the fall, last year that the place was sold 2 years ago, conditional. Then the ecconomy crashed and the deal went sour.

and so, there is always a better spot in Baja

5-6 years ago we stayed for a couple of nights there. I think we were the only ones. April/May time frame. They gave us [2-couples] the worst rooms you could have. They wound up giving us the "ray cannon" house because we complained. It really need alot of work then. Not a place I would run back to again.
A sign of the times.... marty
