Well, the article says so, but I suppose that doesn't mean it's true. It seems like a weak plug for the resort disguised as a poorly written article
about pozole.

We must not be reading the same article.
The one I read looks like an interview of those two owners written by some unknown reporter, who (I assume) would be the one responsible for those
spelling and/or cultural gaffes.
Not unexpected in a Wisconsin newspaper, to be unfamiliar with Mexico.

Per the Gringo Gazette, rooms start at $550 per night. Save up those pesos!

Those people paying $550 a night are gonna be pretty disappointed when they realize they are directly downwind of a dump that burns on a regular
basis.

Perhaps it more comfortable than sleeping in the back of your Toyota Tacoma, eating canned chili (with Pacifico), in a windstorm blowing dust/sand
into every nook/cranny, eh?
Sometimes camping in the desert dirt/dust is fun. And Sometimes kickin’ back at the 5-star resort is fun too.
It’s only money, you can’t take it with you, spend it on living
Woke!

quite correct. the silver lining here is the developer may some leverage in la paz to improve the dump situation.....high end tourists will not
tolerate toxic smoke for long.

Wow. For that price you can get a really nice place with a view. You'll have to cook your own food, or venture out with the locals. This probably
won't leave you much time for instgramming your experience.
I'm clearly not the target market, but it seems like the wrong place to put people looking for this type of 'experience' .

New "Four Seasons" in La Ribera getting $2500/night on New Years, $1700/night during the week for a room. $20-$50 for breakfast. Kinda pricey to
tolerate the north wind in your face this time of year.
Meanwhile local maid working adjacent property making 2000 pesos, ($100), for a 50 hour week. WTF???
Like most these places being built, I suspect are washing a lot of $$$.
The wealthy have never been wealthier, and the poorer....

Well, they would have to have considerably more clout than our local
delagados who have been begging the government in La Paz for years with no success, to provide the funds for a proper landfill, regardless of the fact
that our community currently has 100's of millions in construction activity that generates 16% IVA tax on every centavo spent on materials, as well as
tax on every tourist trinket, hotel room, and margarita sold, it's always the same answer, "We're terribly sorry, but there is no money." I wonder if
those developers will also have the leverage to stop the farms surrounding the place from poisoning the guests with their toxic pesticide spraying. At
least the politicos in La Paz can proudly stand up and point to the handicapped playgrounds, bike paths, and bronze sculptures on the Malecon that
gets rebuilt every 5-10 years as their shining accomplishment in a city where half the population has to have their water delivered by a truck.

I just read this puff piece from "Globe Tender" magazine. It's riddled with errors (Los Cerritos is a surf break?), but I'm sure their target audience won't know
the difference.

Yes, puff piece is correct. Cerritos is a beach break. N. end by the rocks wired by MX locals.
San Pedrito Point too. Good for long/short boarders.
Both can break big in the Summer.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Looks like they have opened up. Still $500+ for a room. Also apparently claiming a private beach.
Anyone want to do a count of rental cars in the parking lot?

Are they restricting access to Palm beach somehow? Is that kind of thing being supported by the local enforcement?

Well now it all makes more sense. Your $550/night room includes breakfast and an 'experience'.
'Private beach', 'Todos Santos'... so many questions. The restaurant does look pretty good though, I'm sure I'll give them a nickel along the way
somewhere.

The spicy mezcal c-cktail calls my name, but I'd rather make it at home and save the $550 per night - or better yet in a rented casita for a fraction
of the price.
And yes, it's an odd trend that new resorts are promising a unique "experience", as if being in Todos Santos couldn't possibly be enough.
