Rancho Buena Vista
Looking for info on Rancho Buena Vista . Just got back from the east cape stayed at Palmas De Cortez for the eight year . Service was sub par and
seems to get worse every year and more expensive . I had 2 captains who could not catch a trout in a fish hatchery . Every day the lunches and drinks
on boats where screwed up . Hell one day I was on a boat and they did not load my beer in the cooler I ordered . Can you believe fishing with no beer
on your vacation !!!!
The other guys I was with one day had no water to drink on their boat . I took a walk up to Ranch Buena Vista looks nice .
If anyone has any feedback on this place I would appreciate it . I did have fun in Cabo at Melia San Lucas great place .
Regards

Just what does beer have to do with fishing and being out on the water, anyway?
I run my own boat, and drinking is not allowed. Wanna know why? Because, if we have an emergency, I don't want to have to haul some drunk-ass
"fisherman" ashore - potentially risking my life or that of someone else on board to do it. Save the drinking for when you are ashore, and enjoy being
on the water.
For the rest, Beuna Vista is (or was) in a different class than Palmas de Cortez, or any of the Van Wormer places.

I doubt the five beers I ordered will make me a 250 pound man a drunk ass . Thanks for your useless input .

You're more than welcome.  Your answer is perfectly consistent with the picture you painted by your question.
And, keep doubting that - I would like to see a 250 pound man, in a rough sea after five beers. I'm sure it would help.

Oldfezzwig,
Drinking and fishing is not a match for fun. I do not agree with Roberto cut and dry attitude. His opinion is his.
most of the time I take a couple beers for the ride in. Most real captains will have ONE with you if it has been a successful day.
For the real Question, Rancho Buena Vista (Spa) has a good fleet, but average. About $350 for a cruiser. To many people and not as classy as Palmas de
Cortez. Rancho Buena Vista has a fleet ($275 a cruiser +-) Good Captains, but I would not sleep there. I rent a house on the beach and have a Panga
pick me up there. U2U me if you need a phone #

Anyway, about those hotels;
Rancho Buena Vista is a classic, and pretty much the way it was in the 70's. I always enjoy visiting there. The rooms are old, might smell musty, but
the dining, bar and exterior grounds are comfortable and beautiful.
My favorite and where I would land if I was staying at a fishing resort would be Punta Pescadero, another classic place that has some how frozen
within it's walls a tribute to times gone by in Baja.

I completely agree, except the rooms did NOT smell, and was clean, but were sparse and the door would not stay closed without locking(a real pain) it.
No screen. Most would not pay $200+ in off season. It is a beautiful setting and comfortable.
Sorry, I should have explained more when I said I would not sleep there.

Rancho Buena Vista is a classic. You can almost hear Jimmy Smith telling tales at the bar. It is very low key and the grounds are beautiful. I
think that it is like $80/person. Muy tranquilo.
Palmas has gotten too big. They have lost the personal touch that made the place so special. It is hard to be personal when you are trying to sell
time shares.

This is the only photo I have of Rancho. It was taken after the Arts Festival, ergo all the tables and chairs but it gives you an idea of how nice
the grounds are...lotsa old growth.

Personally, I have had nothing but great experiences----------
----------at the Van Wormer resorts. They are classic, and I have never had so much fun for so little money. I especially love the Punta Colorada
resort, and the fishing was great.

Have you tried Verdugos? Victor and Nino are a great crew.

You have to put your comments on the outside(to the right) of
the word quote that is in parenthesis and preceded with/.
I cant give you an example because it keeps quoting me.

I have nothing against the Van Wormers, they are charming people but I think that Palmas has gotten too big(IMHO).
Punta Colorado is another story...still a classic.
