djh,
I, for one, totally disagree with you. This thread has created quite an interest in Bob and Susan's place, which paid advertising can't match 
And the negative comments won't, in any way, keep their kind of clientel ( well to do  ) away from their digs.
If you pay attention to the ad campaigns on TV you should know what I mean. Some make you swear to never, never, never buy that item in a hundred
years  
But it works

opinions are like what ?
lol, i have found this thread very amusing. well worth the price of admission. me and my wife have sat around the pool and "knocked back a few" with
bob & susan, great people, and a great place they have created. my wife and i have not been the type to "rough it " for quite a while. as a matter
of fact roughing it to my wife is no room service. we usually stay at the nicer places when we do venture away from our home in mulege which is not
very often. we would be very comfortable staying at "Playa Frambes" , very clean, secluded, quite, excellant hosts, and "the lighthouse" all a stones
throw from the water. $200 a nite, you cant go out to a nice dinner in the states for that last time i checked. and have any of you that think $200
is too much ever attempted any type of construction in baja ? thats another story in itself. my hats off to you bob & susan, not many folks
(including myself) would have the b**** to even attempt to do what you have succeded in doing. im sure you will do very well, you already have.
Want what you have

The accomodations etc. sound wonderful------
------but $200 seems stiff, to me, too.
Last night I spent the night in a ROADWAY INN in Yreka, CA with all the amenities we would ever want, or need, for 2 of us and the total bill with tax
and everything was $47.30.
Last year we had a beautiful room at the Bright Angel Lodge with a full plateglass view of the Grand Canyon from our room, only about 100 feet from
the rim, for $205.
In July this year we spent the night at the Classic old Yellowstone Inn in a large beautiful room with a view of the geyser basin, overlooking Old
Faithful geyser, for $87.
Again, everything is relative, I suppose.

Thumbs up to Bob and Susan! They have a beautiful place and are neat people.
Enjoyed a visit with Bob, Susan was busy elsewhere. Regarding the costs for a stay there, they really don't care whether you stay with 'em or not. I
sorta get the idea they'd just as soon sit back and enjoy it all to themselves. You ought to see the view from there lighthouse. By the way, there's a
place down the beach you can stay at for $20/night.

Seems a lot of folks here are driven by comparative pricing. If Motel-6 suits your needs, by all means, stay there. You could even save more if you
slept in the back seat of your car.
What Bob and Susan are offering is a unique environment. Look at the pictures of the setting, the bay and the sky, the privacy and the opportunity
to be in your own little world.
I would venture a guess that if Motel-6 was in the same place, they would be offering a special at $200 per night as well. They would be crazy not
to.

I can't wait 'till I'm able to stay with Bob & Susan. I am very cost conscious and work furiously before every trip to find the best value for
the money. $200 per night, without a private kitchen is a bit steep. But if we were traveling with great friends, $100 per couple, a community
kitchen available, and the hospitality of Bob and Susan......... Sounds great to me!
Can't wait to see you all!

Hey Mom,
Since you're a little money conscious, maybe you should get a ride with " Big John ", in case the accommodations are not what you expected 
That way you can always sleep in his van, for next to nothing I might add, and maybe see even more of our Baja then you expected

Het Berg,
Are you really feeling "mellow"? 'Cuz you post didn't feel that way......
Reads a bit hostile to me. Who the **** is "Big John". If I'm wrong please explain yourself. Otherwise, same to you *******.

There's nothing in my U2U from you. But if no offense was meant, none will be taken and sorry for the knee-jerk response. Still don't know what you
were referencing but I'll consider it my confusion, not yours.
By the way, you're the one who has posted your mood as "mellow".

No, but anything more would be wasted on you, since you are ... oh yeah (see above). And, you have proven this time and time again, with stupid,
senseless, empty comments. Are you going to ask if Bob and Susan's is a secret surf spot?

I have not stayed at bob & susans but I have stayed at Rancho Leonero, Palmas De Cortez and Playa De Sol. From the pictures of Bob $ Susans I
would say they are competively priced. The rooms at Eddies places are single rooms with 2 double beds, except for the Suite's & Condos all are in
that price range.

I guess it IS some form of "class" discussion.
Marv's opinion that you can't get a nice dinner in the States for less than $100.00 a plate is a fine example. It is my pleasure to remind those that
DON'T find this appalling that if you have money in a bank you are far far richer than more than half of the people on the face of the earth.
In my judgement, there is no moral way to spend that kind of money on ONE meal when billions of our fellow human beings, many of them babies and
children, are going to sleep hungry tonight.
For those of you who think I am wrong, and who are so inclined (supposedly the majority) , I recommend that next time you are about to crack a bottle
of $50.00 wine you crack your Bible in stead.
Conspicuous consumption has never rested well with me.

Vgabndo,
I agree with you, but I didn't come to my conclusions by reading the Bible. Religion isn't a prerequisite for a sense of social justice.

We agree the morals in the bible are what keep us ALL safe and sane.
Imagine a world without these basic beliefs. WOW!!!
The $100 meal is not uncommon in the states.
If you live in any urbanized location like Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, or San Francisco you know what I mean.
Many people make ALOT of money.
They make too much to spend on just basic needs.
The extra money is THEIR disposal income to do with as THEY please.
They contribute to the economy (of the world) by SPENDING “their” DISPOSAL cash.
They indirectly pay for the salary of others, in services, rent, and products.
EVERYONE benefits when a $100 meal is served!!!
When you retire, holding your money in the bank is (IMHO) just foolish.
You worked ALL your life to provide for a comfortable retirement for yourself.
By “penny pinching” YOU suffer in your “golden years”.
Worrying about your future is foolish.
Life is too short…look around!!!
“Smell the Roses”
Enjoy Life
Spend EVERY penny before you “leave”
While you do that…help others…
edit...spelling again
