I opted for some luxury so I drove down to the centro and got a room at the Hotel Santo Tomas right by the pier (the big pink building). $29US or $390 pesos a night. There is a weekly rate but I'd have to walk all the way down to the lobby to find it :)


I don't think so. Not $29. More like $89. Nice place though, with the key shaped swimming pool.

I'm the one who checked in last night so I'm going to claim authority on this one. I paid $390 pesos.

I dunno about the pool - haven't gone looking for it.

I didn't see anything to indicate the price was for short term.



If you were an integral part of the culture, you would know the coded references, Bruce. This isn't the only motel that advertises like this. It's not new. "The other woman" is part of the big picture here and is accomodated quietly.

A room for what.....16 bucks per night on Highway One? One doesn't have to be a detective to figure it out.

This one honestly posts their short term rates:

Sorry-Maybe I'm confused-I probably got my hotels confused. Mine is the one that's easy to stumble back to.

No problem. I just went down to the front desk to work out a longer stay. The rates are:

$29 weekday
$49 weekend
$149 per week

I just booked a week while I'm sorting out parts for my car & find a mechanic. It's pretty swanky but I don't think they have a pool. Fish tacos are a short walk to the pier so it's all good with me :)
