a safe place for the night in Guerrero Negro?
Hi Nomads,
I'm having trouble getting my companions awake as early as I prefer, so.....if it is too late when I go through Guerrero Negro to drive any further,
does anyone have any suggestions on a "SAFE" place to stay in GN?
I prefer to get up a little earlier and make it to San Ignacio for the night  ,
but if history repeats itself, the others will sleep too late  !
Suggestions please! I always appreciate your advice!

Los Caracoles is right on the entrance to town on the right side, it's new and is lovely and reasonably priced too. Plus Nomad Sirenita is the
receptionist there! Very safe!

Absolutely no other choice than Posada de Don Vicente.
Completely closed in area with 24 hour security.
Moderate prices and good clean rooms.
Too many recommendations for this place for it to not be the choice for the money!

Oops! I really meant Los Caracoles. Malarrimo is a great place to have
dinner.

my vote is for "staying" at Los Caracoles, have your meals at Malarrimo...and do go to the sand dunes and roll around like a two year old.

if it's late and you ONLY want safety
and Semi-clean then the only place to stay is...
Posada de Don Vicente
first hotel in town
ALL the business travelers stay there
the price did rise to $24 a night
If you have extra time then go to the Los Caracoles...
way nicer
Malarrimo could be full becuase its whale season

Los Caracoles is THE place to stay in GN. You can make reservations on line - which I recommend. Stayed there last night and wished Serenita a
belated diez y ocho Feliz Cumpleanos.
By the way, we took Serenita's suggestion and ate at Asadero Cowboy accross the street from Caracoles. (the other place that was recommended, Asadero
de Tijuana, was closed.) I had a "huarache" and was not disappointed. The place was packed with locals and we will go back.

In my experience SiReNiTa at Los Caracoles serves up the most interesting "Baja Hot Dogs" in G. Negro! Saludos Chica!

Another reason to stay in Guerrero Negro: The highway patrol (federales) heavily cruises the highway between Guerrero Negro and Vizcaino... con radar!
That is a real tough section to drive 50 mph (80 kph) in!!!
So, no 'pushing it, speed-wise to get to San Ignacio!

Yes, that's why I mentioned it... there's plenty of drama already here, so I don't need to make up anything new !
Both times on that stretch, between Guerrero Negro and Vizcaino, last July... Two federales, giving semi truck driver a ticket (or ?) first time...
and one was cruising and another was parked (near the El Arco road jcn.) the return leg.
It was reported here before our trip, and we confirmed it.

It is pretty dumb to have a 50 mph speed limit on straight, flat highway, in the middle of the desert. I can only imagine it as a way to bait a driver
to go faster!
