Posada Don Diego


didn't want this to get lost in another thread.....

Located in Vicente Guerrero. the turn off is right at the propane plant and the CFE electric co heading west.

we arrived at the Posada about 8pm just in time to sample their shrimp tacos and margaritas which were outstanding!!!!!!! we had room #6 reserved and it was clean and VERY quiet. they even had a coffee maker in the room. the tiled showers were very clean. apparently they have a sunday brunch for 100 pesos that is top notch!!!!

$40 for 2 queen beds and dinner for 2 with 5 drinks $24 plus tip.

HIGHLY RECOMEND!!!!

We ate there a few times a number of years ago and the food was good. Right now we are usually staying at my sister's home that is on the beach just a little north of Vicente Guerrero.

However, she is not always there----so thanks,

One question if you know----dog friendly?

Thanks

Diane

Irene, I forgot you are new to this forum. A U2U is a personal message. When you are signed in, look up in the far right corner and it will say you have 1 new message.

Click on that and you will see where to click to read the message. Then if you want to respond, go to the bottom and hit the bottom that says submit changes and type your response and submit.

It is a positive personal message---please read and hope you respond.

I got the mesage and now, for everyone else!

When I saw the name Irene, it started ringing old bells because of my family connections in the area. Well, I was correct.

Irene is the owner of Don Diegos and did not know that it would be ok to post her website on this forum. As I told her, many remember Don Diegos as only a very good restaurant and RV place and did not know they have rooms available----very nice ones, according to Woody.

I also told her that it is important information since all of us are always looking for good places to stay and of course, good places to eat. :lol: Also, since they are not right on the highway, it is easy to pass by. She did not want to sound like the owner saying too many nice things about her place, but we now have Woody's stamp of approval, so we know it is a good place. :yes:

Irene says they are working on a new website, but for now, this is their site. Don Diegos

So Irene, welcome to the Baja Nomad Forum and do put your website in your signature.

We hope to see you soon.

Diane

I want all of you to know that I am the owner of the Posada Don Diego along with my husband Jose. I did not know you could use this page and write about your business as some pages do not let you do that.
Diane did figure it out although she has never meant me. But I think she may remember my name from when she came here a few years ago. I do know her sister as she is one of my friends and a very good client at the Posada Don Diego.
We have been in business since 1970 we bought this in 1979 and have run it ourselfs since 1981. We have meant many people over the years. But know it is a whole new group of people on the Baja. Many of the people we have taken care have now gone to the Baja in sky. We have always been a hard place to find as we have only 1 sign on the road at the entrance.
Our restaurant is open 7 days a week from 7 a.m. til 9 p.m. Our R.V. Park have 100 spaces with about 25 full timers. WE have 4 motel rooms.
give us a call or email us. our web page will be updated soon.
www.posadadondiego.com or email posadadondiego@yahoo.com
come by and see us we would love to have the change to serve you.
Irene

Welcome to Nomad Irene!

I think it is helpful for you to tell us about your business in this case, in this thread... Otherwise, self promoting Baja business owners have the Classified Ads forums here on Nomad to use.

I have many memories of Posada Don Diego from the 1980's... Met the girl who became my wife and mother of my children there... during a Mexico West (Tom & Shirley Miller) event!

Thanks for maintaining a great service to travelers!
David

Yes there is a classified place if you really want to run ads. However, as I mentioned to you in the U2U, put your website in your signature and then where there are any updates or information about your place, just post it. And be sure to participate in many discussions.

There are a number of people who do exactly that and do not pay for classified ads. Some web-sites do not allow business websites in the signatures, or businesses to be mentioned at all anywhere.

Now, if Doug wants to do it that way, he certainly has the right to do so and restrict any mention of business to the classified.

Meantitme, David, I think it is quite unfair for you to suggest this to a new person on the forum ---here is a partial list of nomads who self-promote their businesses on this forum and not in the classified.

Yes, some SELDOM mention their business, but everyone knows it is there and they have web-sites in their signatures and I have not heard you complain about any of them????? So why put this off on a new person.

Partial List----and please, I find nothing objectionable about any of this---in fact, many of us like hearing what is happening at these businesses ---just making a point that it is hardly fair to suggest describing a business once to a newbie and then use the classified.

Baja Cactus
shari
Bob and Susan
Baja Judy
I forget the name, but the owners of Los Olivos started posting
CaboMagic
AND there are many more---I just do not remember at the moment.

So is it fair to suggest something different for Irene? Yes, I know, you are trying to make money for the board and will say you are just looking out for Doug's best interest---OK, but be fair and suggest the same thing to everyone of these other people when they post.

Irene, I know you are going to be gone today, but please do not let this change your mind about being on this forum. If the owner of the forum wants something different, his name is Doug and he will let you know.

Meantime, if you need help with getting your web-site into your signature, ask and I will help. Also, PLEASE keep posting in lots of different discussions.

Diane

Dear Diane,

She is a new Nomad and seems to want to play by the rules... I think it is FINE what she posted here about her business, and said so (did you miss that?). In the meantime, instead of just telling her about the signature, it seems she would benefit by you showing her what a signature is and how to add it...?

I sure want Irene to post more here... and you picking a fight with me in this thread (instead of u2u) is not productive. Your constant hostility towards me is unappreciated and counter to the Nomad theme of Peace, Love and Fish Tacos.

David

No David, I did not miss what you said.

And THAT is what I said was unfair unless you are consistent. Now, if any part of my post was "hostile", please quote it.

So, I disagreed with you, and that is hostile?

Again, please just be consistent with your statement about self-promoting businesses with everyone.

Diane

Fortunately (thank you!) this isn't much of an issue here - and both David and Diane are correct in what they're attempting to communicate.

Irene, welcome, glad to have you here. :yes:

Clarification(s):

Two of the top items listed in the "Board Rules" are these:

1. Topics within the BajaNomad.com forums will pertain the Baja California, Mexico peninsula.

2. Topics should be posted in the forum most applicable to the subject of the posting. Advertising is only allowed in the Classifieds section.

If you're posting an advertisement, it goes in the Classifieds section. If you're posting timely and pertinent information of interest for Baja California travelers, even if it involves your business, it may be okay in the info forums.

Moderator(s) get to make a judgement as to whether it's an ad, or pertinent info. Currently I'm it though in making this determination.

Regarding business signatures: These are absolutely appropriate - including having a link to your business. It's of interest to everyone, and mutual benefit to know that connection for everyone as well. Try to avoid having your signature take up more space than your messages themselves. It's not in your best interest (nor this site's), as people push back from being promoted to in such "heavy" fashion.

People that understand the long-term commitment of visibility gained through time of participating here with valuable information... will generally gain the credibility needed to turn that visibility into some consistent business for them as well. Those that simply promote themselves without "giving" to the community up front, will generally find little reward for their misguided efforts.

:cool:
