bottle in any of the places I've stayed at, usually it's a bar of Rosa Venus and a book of matches with a German Shepard on the cover. What do you
expect from a country that doesn't even have the technology to be be able to flush your TP instead of placing it in a waste basket by the toilet.
Actually I've used this to judge how good a Mexican restaurant is in the US. If there's a buch of skid marked TP in the wastebasket it usually serves
good food. I'm a bit of a leftie, but I think DK is a real asset to this site. I've learned more about Baja from his postings than anyone else's.

Thank you for that...
Some of my best friends are 'lefties'.
Despite what is posted here by people who never met me, I am very open minded and couldn't care less who you vote for or worship, etc. I just find it
amazing how some here think only their side is okay to me mentioned... and if I (or others) provide some other point of view, all Hell breaks loose!
So much for the open minded and tolerant left!  
'Fair and balanced' shouldn't make anyone nervous unless they plan on being unfair and keeping the masses in the dark.

Try Baja Cactus next time for a real surprise in A-1 accomodations at a budget price... unlike anything in the central region of Baja (or most other
places)! Awesome rooms, ammenities like satellite TV with several English channels, phone in room you can dial anywhere to the world from, (normally)
high boost water pressure showers, coffee maker in room, cieling fan with dimmer light, sealed (single use) shampoo and lotion bottles, free bottled
water in the room and a friendly staff that goes out of their way to see to your needs...

Once again. An answer to a question not asked. Anything to plug "that hotel".

Any Baja business that strives to be the best at serving the traveler with honesty and quality such as Baja Cactus (Pemex and motel) deserves all the
praise they can get... It should be an example to other tourist businesses that give less.
There are many more such places in Baja that are often mentioned over and over here... such as Jardines in San Quintin, Shari & Juan's Bahia
Asuncion services, Bob and Susan's Playa Frambles Concepcion Bay resort, etc.

Gees, how convenient and consistent---just as recently as the U2U you sent me, you said you learned to HATE all Democrats---your word---hate---so are
the lefties you have a best friends Republicans?

Let's see---just in this post you called me a liar, you said some else had an attitude problem because they disagreed with your about El Rosario and
that is the way it usually goes---you have zero respect for anyone's opinion and trash those who have different experiences than you have.
Someone not long ago sent me links to several threads from a very long time ago---long before I joined this forum, and the same things were being
said, over and over. I paraphrase
DK---stick to the things you know about as you are a wealth of information about those things, but not about everything in Baja.
DK --- allow other people to have their own opinions and respect that
DK allow the experiences of others to be valid---how you experience and view things is not the same for everyone.
On and on----same thing---DK can be a positive and major contributor to this board, but keep the politics out and show respect for others.
As the person who sent me those links said, you are your own worst enemy.
Other people are not evil, don't have bad attitudes, are not liars, are not Baja haters, don't understand Baja just because they disagree with you.
AT least try consistency---I repeat, you used the word HATE.
In regards to Baja Cactus, it is one of the better hotels on the way down in some ways----one we will stay at again if we stop in El Rosario.

What's your favorite brand of shampoo? Let's have a poll...or is it a survey?

Unless one is looking for resort amenities, the most important qualities of a hotel/ motel are cleanliness, a good bed, reasonable quietude, security,
and friendly staff. I have gone on record as stating that Baja Cactus is well worth the price, despite my own desire to not patronize it. A recent
post on another thread noted the Maria Celeste in San Quintin. There are several very fine hotels in San Quintin, which I will not list here. Point is
that with San Quintin merely 30-40 minutes from El Rosario, and with ample Pemex available, I fail to understand why a certain poster here continues
to act as the chamber of commerce for El Rosario even on threads that really don't apply.

DENNIS! I believe you are straying from the original question.....shampoo bottles should be refilled using a drip irrigation system.

Of course they should. This was the issue that caused all the commotion here a while back. Some here actually thought that shampoo was just poured
carelessly into a handy container from a huge bottle and we, you and I, know full well that isn't the case.
All hospitality business in Baja are required to delicately drip the goo from the mother lode to the petit, handy, sample size bottle, eliminating
undue agitation of the product and disrupting the molecules, making it a less than effective product.
I mean....who would want that?
By the way...what brand do you use?
I hope we're not disrupting the important bickering that's been consuming this thread for a while. There's room for all of us....right?
OK....Is it Prell? Dippity Doo? Flan? Tell us. It's important.

OK. We are on the same page. I'm afraid I don't know what kind of shampoo I'm using....my wife refils the bottles. Hopefully in a tasteful and gentle
manner. Hope this doesn't degenerate into conditioner!

Oh please, what started what you call bickering was someone telling another member that they did not like El Rosario because of "thier" attitude, and
then the same person calling me a liar---more than once.
I dare say, you might react if someone openly, more than once, called you a liar-----
It is also interesting that you and some others tend to want to focus on that one thing---but as you have often said, no one really reads what others
are saying.
If you remember, a while back the same trashing happened when someone reported a break-in in a vehicle in the parking lot at that hotel----they
reported it just as a reminder for people to be careful, but they were trashed for daring to say something was not perfect.
