yes, depends on how many people are grabbing a signal!
FYI, i spoke to Maru a few days ago and she said all of her rooms are now rented by the month, so don't expect to roll in and have 5 rooms to choose
from! she's planning on expanding as the Japanese have bought the rights to sardines along this stretch of coast and are planning to use the marina to
ship dead sardines in trucks to the tuna pens off Ensenada. once the operation is up and running she said the town will need to provide housing for
400 additional workers!!!!!
i only speak Pueblo so the details might be fuzzy!

I do enjoy Maru and stay there sometimes. The other hotel in Rosarito spells out Baja Cactus on the wall. Woody turned me onto their Lobster burritos,
outstanding!!! Both places are great!

Wow- 400 new workers? rent by the month only...? sigh... there goes the barrio.
I can park and camp anywhere, but sometimes it's nice to have a bed to flop on and a simple sink to wash off the road dust.
Guess this is becoming another place to add to my "glad I visited it before..." list.

There is a hotel in Nuevo Rosarito that work for a night Just south of the turnoff. It called Cactus Hotel, the diner next door is very good. Ask for
the lobster burritos. Morning time has great fresh coffee. We get lobster and egg burritos early.

400 workers would really change a place drastically.
We went to santa rosalillita only once and didn't spend the night - just went exploring.

You should try their crab soup.
I' will be one of those dishes that you will never forget.

Udo, the "Cactus Motel" in Rosarito is not the Baja Cactus Motel in El Rosario... which is next door to Mama Espinoza's (who has the crab soup).
They are talking about Mauricio's Restaurant, in Rosarito (the one between Punta Prieta and Villa Jesus Maria).

Hey Mike, Thanks for resurrecting this thread. It looks like your
question got lost on everyone reading the other fun stuff.
Does anyone know if they rent the rooms by the day or are they still
all rented by the month to the fishermen ??

I was camping at Alejandro's camp (Pta Andreas) last week.
went by the Yellowtail Fish Farm to see their progress (they have been working on it close to 2 years now?)
Anyways, they are just now lining the huge football field reservoirs with concrete that will hold the fish and have completed the lines to the coast
that will eventually bring in the fresh seawater.
Bottom line is that it doesn't look like anytime soon there will be rooms open as the workers will be using them

To DawnPatrol, I am guessing you edited to try and have your reply sit outside of the quoted box?
I see this often on Nomad where folks reply to a quoted post and their reply remains inside the other Nomad's quote.
What is happening is that you begin typing a reply too soon, and did not scroll down until you passed the [ /quote] tag.
If you accidently deleted that tag, you can simply add it back in at the end of the other Nomad's quote.... as I have (and deleted the extra edit
notices)... |

OK, and you can still fix it with 'edit', but it was also an opportunity to let other Nomads know why they are sometimes inside another person's
"quote".
Have a great week!
