Baja Cactus Motel....Loreto???
Good Morning from Baja Cactus Motel...need help. Plan on staying the night in Loreto. I did a search, because I remember a Loreto motel thread. Got
something on 2 price standard, but no recommendations.
I am Traveling with my 14' tin boat, so need something like Antonio's Baja Cactus Motel in El Rosario. Don't expect to find this good ever
again...secure parking, super clean/nice, TV, Wireless in room(if you have good wifi antenne) $35 a night. Does Loreto have a motel near this?

Try the Iguana Inn or Coco Cabanas.

there's nothing like the Baja Cactus...anywhere!
if your boat is car top, not trailered, MiCortezZone has gated parking for a pickup/SUV type vehicle. Cocos Cabanas has dead end alley parking, not
suited for a trailer, but car top is probably fine.
the only places in the 35$ price range are the Hotel Salvatierra and Hotel Brenda. the parking lot at the latter might accommodate a trailer, how
secure it is, I can't say. rooms are very basic, semi clean, ac minimal.
reality\'s never been of much use out here...

Could try Loreto Shores Villas & RV Park. Great for trailer boats, lots of room and secure. The casitas are privately owned so the price may
vary, won't find anything in the $35 range however. Try contacting Ismael.

Actually the problem is that there are not any hotels that meet his specifications.
The only one I know of that would have secure parking for his rig is the Oasis and it is over $100/night.

Good Morning From Motel Malarrimo
I got here at 11:00 AM at Guerrero Negro. Was not about where to stay in Loreto...so decided to do little jumps.
This place is great!!! Everything Baja Cactus has...not as new. Real clean and nice, good secure parking. Free wifi. In the bar only so they think,
but my Alfa wifi can get the signal 2 miles away. (line of Site) but in my room I am at 3/4 throttle anyway. Just as a comparison...my internal Intel
3483 wifi has only 2 bars in the bar!!!
I gotta say the Scotch is better in the bar
Enough wifi...can someone tell me more about...Iguana Inn or Coco Cabanas? Parking is more important then price, but I am no different then you. I
will pay for what I get.
Baja Judy...thank you... and if push comes to shove, a c-note is not an issue. The issue is mostly the sort of people you find in these places. Not
all bad, but a few I could do without. I am a much more modest person. Please give me their name in case...again Thank You.
To one and all this road is hard work...but I am having fun, and that helps a lot. It is very beautiful this time of year...Blooms on cactus (I think)
are very big and yellow. Tall...skinny and does not look like cactus and I think I just passed a valley named after them...Mal memory.

Oasis is one of the oldest resorts in Loreto. I think that you would feel comfortable there...great bar, great breakfast overlooking the water. I
would go somewhere else for dinner but all in all a very nice place.
Head straight for the malecon and take a right. It is at the end of the malecon at the turn around. They give a local discount, I believe.
Buen viaje

I know that Coco Cabanas has wifi, don't know about Iguana Inn. Both have in room vcrs but no cable.
Both are located two blocks from the malecon. I don't have the prices but I think Iguana is in the $50 range with Coco Cabanas a bit higher.

Al, If you stay at the Iguana, you could park inside the gate at my house just around the corner. Let me know Phil

We'd love to help you out too, Al, but we are on our way to Montana now. I have no better hotel advice, but Julie at Iguana Inn could tell you how to
find Loreto Shores, and might call Patty there for you. This could be a good option.
Good luck!

you're probably en route and settled on a plan already but another option is to by pass Loreto and stop at Tripui/Puerto Escondido. the hotel there
has parking that would be safe. it is new this year and rooms run around 120 I think. the grounds are lovely, there is wifi and a good, if
overpriced restaurant. there is also an excellent new restaurant with a lovely view of the port, second deck of the Singlar buildings, Porto Bello.
since you are only passing through en route to TS, the convenience and safe parking might well be worth the price.
basically Loreto has some charming places in the 50-70 range, with the amenities you'd like. Coco Cabanas, Iguana Inn, and smaller private places
like MiCortezzone. none of those have off street parking for a trailer. there are many other private rentals, which may or may not have parking,
but not many will do one night rentals. the two larger hotels with parking are The Oasis and The Desert Inn (old La Pinta/enough of a
non-recommendation). both of those are dated and in the 100+ price range. I don't know about The Inn at Loreto Bay, but suspect they could
accommodate you at a $$$price.

Thank you all...I cannot say enough about the Nomads
I am at the Oasis and glad I am here...my billfold is still sweating from the work. You are right Judy, I am comfortable,
I am not a wimp...I can take it, but please!!!
$125 one person.
$2 Ice
$2 bottle of water
$5 bottle of beer
$9 glass of scotch
I dared not to have dinner so walked a few blocks to Texas BBQ.
Good service, and a fair rendition of mosquite Brisket...beer, wine and scotch. All in all good...not great, My billfold will remember it
forever... $65 one person.
Loreto...I have seen you , I have done you...we will never cross paths again.
The price to quality SUCKS.
Cross this town off your list if you are retired or got a brain...pure tourist trap. Cabo San Lucas is much better......

Been there, done that, and completely agree with you. We like to stop in Santa Rosalia nowadays. It's still a Mexican town. Just my opinion,
though.

OUCH is right
I never drank at the bar.
Did you ask for a local discount...we only paid $100 for two. We were desperate. I had forgotten to make ressies for the turtle conference and the
Oasis was the only show in town.
$65 for dinner is a bit steep. What did you eat...the whole cow?

Off to Cabo because Loreto is to touristy? What a joke---ROTFLMAO. There are plenty of places you could have stayed for a lot less money in Loreto.
Motel Brenda is about 25 bucks and is clean and has parking for your boat. Some of the other hotels mentioned were good too. The Oasis is just about
the last place I would have recommended. Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner. No one even mentioned Gail Rameriz' place. Oh well, to each his
own.
If there is no fishing in heaven, I am not going
