Ya, it would be a bit of a splurge for sure. I visited there a few years back and they gave me a tour. If I was rich...

So why are you posting about this place ? As if I didn't know.
It cost double what Playa Frambes cost so we know you can't/won't afford it.

I've thought about staying here but you're right Diver. I'd probably stay at a cheap place in La Paz and fish out of Los Muertos.
I once stayed at Hosteria Convento in La Paz. I think it was $12/night. Loved it.

So.....What's the verdict? Is the 20% per day tip too much for you tightwads? Or would it be the guest parking fee and the mandatory security
charge? After all, this place is class. They don't even have a registration or bye-bye fee. Maybe later. Y'all better hunker in here for a while
'fore the rents go up. Oh, yeah....this just in. Add 50 bucks per day if you want to flush the toilet.
C'mon down, you stupid rich ********. Always enough room for you.

I've stayed there. Was a while ago, though.

They have a nice chapel out there for weddings.
My understanding was that this is/was Cortez' first landing spot.

Yep.
This is my only colored photo:
Somewhere, I think a brother has it, is a photo album of 8x10 b&w photos from the resort, of my parents, aunt and uncle, and friends taken by a
professional photographer on a 1959 trip. If I can get my hands on it, maybe next summer, I'll post some. Great photos.
On our 1961 trip we stayed one night at the Rodriguez home, then a week at the resort. Met Bing Crosby too; he sang a tune for the ladies. The place
sure looks bigger now.
edit: on second thought, the b&w pictures might have been taken with one of those tiny little cameras-I don't remember the name-that looked like a
Pez dispenser.

Did someone mention expensive?
Can't touch this.

I've spent some of the longest, most miserable and expensive weeks of my life there. A beautiful place, though.

I've got family history there as well. It may be a bit too rico for my blood now though...
Uncle Andy:
Three out of the five of these photos were taken by my Grandfather at Las Cruces. I am pictured in the bottom left hand photo at Papagayos Ensenada,
on my mom's lap, with my Grandfather, as well as the photo where I'm fishing in the bait tank.

I have a marlin photo from Las Cruces that my dad caught in 1959. The same year I was born. He flew a Twinbeech all the way from Chicago. It was his
first flying job and he flew the company execs there.
My sister has the photo. It's like a postcard.
So I went there to get permission to fly in with my dad a couple years back. But my dad never made it back. He died from cancer shortly after I
visited. Someday I'll fly in there and stay and I don't care how much it costs. Maybe I'll catch a marlin too!

fishbuck,
I hope you make the journey back. Here's a lifted glass and a "saludos" to you in advance for when that moment happens.

What is that place? Some sort of health ranch or something? Looks like about $450/night.
