I hate to bash any local businesses but after a serious rash of problems with friends and family lately, I have removed the Villa de San Quintin from
my list of recommendations. All kinds of problems with the hotel AND restaurant lately to the point that I now steer people AWAY from Villa de San
Quintin. Too many better options in San Quintin to keep dropping money at a business that is not interested in anything else than your money...
|
I stayed there just a few nights ago (Villa de San Quintin) and had another great stay. I had another long talk with Rey who owns the place. He took
me around to many of his fruit trees and shared what was ripe.
We had a triple room with three beds in two rooms and two tvs. Obviously the hotel has wifi as well. The cost was 830 pesos.
Ron if you have any specific instances, please share them. But I find your statements a bit wreckless.
|
Sorry amigo but I have been biting my tongue for a long time about Villa de SQ. Lots of complaints lately over bogus/double credit card charges and
other service problems in both the hotel and restaurant. The latest issue involves items missing from hotel rooms. I usually send friends and family
to Jardines as my first choice but for times when they are all booked up, I would use Villa as another option.
With all the complaints that have been piling up in addition to our experiences there lately with very poor service, I can simply no longer recommend
them in good faith.
Sorry... |
Just saying, I'm providing a first hand account of my experiences. To bash a business on what someone told you seems a bit unfair. I am primarily
talking about the hotel not the restaurant. I've had some great conversations with the owner who seems like a great guy. He's always treated us
well.
Did your friends approach the business with their concerns? What was the result? Maybe your friends could post a first hand account instead of you?
Seems like reaching out to the owner might be the right thing to do

I think you have seen now by the thread on our facebook group that there are many who have had issues with Villa de San Quintin. I am glad to hear
that your buddy there takes care of you when you stay Zach, but it simply is not the case for everybody, based on the TalkBaja thread.
They have received enough complaints to know they have a problem. It is up to them now to fix things...

I too have had good meals there and also pleasant conversations with the owner. Location wise, it is a great place to stop for lunch on the way down,
or breakfast (if staying in El Rosario or San Quintin). But things change. It is good to get current reports, although they need to be from primary
sources.

To many other places in San Quintin. No need to go to a place with questionable service.

Parcela 12 is our choice for a quick meal. When you walk in you're greeted by the friendly folks behind the counter/kitchen. They will lift the lid to
each pot to show you what's available. You make your choices, your plate is piled high on the spot. Can't get any quicker than that. Tortillas and
fresh queso will be brought to your table. I love the honey, so fresh, sometimes with bee parts included.
Sometimes they have machaca de jaiba, usually in the fridge, so for that you'd have to wait for it to be prepared. You can be in and out of Parcela 12
as quick as you can clear your plate, if it's a good quick meal you're looking for.

Across from El Pabelon. Right when you start to slow down for the mini topes heading south pull over and eat.

I'll second that recommendation. East side of the highway, with a whale skeleton out in front. Good fish tacos as well.

Ron's Google map is spot on. After you make that swooping left hand turn (heading south) it's about a half mile down, on the left side of the highway.

I get the feeling that you won't make recommendations for you own political reasons, Ron. You live there and certainly don't want to anger anyone.
