Hotel or Shower in Santa Rosalillita
Is there a hotel or any place with showers at Santa Rosalillita? This is the place on the pacific that has a turn off south of Punta Prieta.
I seem to remember someone on this forum mentioning there was maybe a B&B there.

Yes Tom, Shari just posted this on the Santa Rosalillita (Rosaliita sic) thread:

Beside the store on the beach side in the middle of the village is a little hotelito...cheap, clean and has lots of hot water...good bed and a view of
the beach and ocean...you can see guys peeling off a cool wave that is the result of the marina breakwater...something good came out of the fiasco.
It is only like 10 mnutes off the highway and a great place to stop and spend the night if you cant make it to GN in daylight..very very quiet and
pretty bay...there is a store but the restaurant isnt open any more but the hotel lady will make food for ya....I give the hotel a thumbs up!!!
and....they are honest...I left my laptop there...it was hiding behind a closed curtain when we checked out...and they had it saved for me...Juan's
uncle picked it up...so say hey to tio Martin Arce when you are there.

any updates on this hotel?
I'm considering stopping here on return north- anyone have an update on the status of this "hotelito" in Rosalillita?
Thanks!

Ditto, for our trip south a week from today. How far from Catavina is it? Would be great to have a viable option between driving in the dark to GN or
staying at the Pink Palace or the very expensive but beautiful Hotel (what ever it's name is this season) or camping in Catavina. All is good because
of the surreal beauty that is Catavina but sometimes your wheels just want to roll on through...

'Hotel (Motel) Maru' is the name, run by Rafael and Maru Ojeda (reported on Nomad).

Stayed there about a month ago. Only 4 rooms and 3 were full when we were there, so beware. Clean quiet after the fireworks stop, but that was pretty
early.

you have to phone a relative in GN and they call them on a radio to make a reservation...spanish only. If you want, I can call for you. 615-157-0263
is the number.

Maybe I'm dense, but how does Cativina become an alternative to Santa Rosalittita? They are hundreds of miles apart.

We "once" passed through Catavina hoping to get to GN before dark. It did not work and I HATE to drive in the dark, especially that lonely stretch of
Baja Highway. This could be a great option and we would get to see a part of Baja we have never seen before we continue our southward journey.

We often stay there if we leave Ensenada late and wont make it to Gn before dark...that stretch of road between Jesus Maria and GN is
treacherous...real real narrow with lots of cows and drunks...so pulling into Rosalillita is a great option and only 10 minutes off the
highway....Maru is cheap and clean and on the beach which is nice if you have a dog or need to stretch your legs...but be aware that the beds are
small...not even queen size but real comfy. There is no restaurant so bring food with you.

Thanks Shari. How long does it usually take to get to the turn off after passing through Catavina? I can't pinpoint it in my memory.

The turn off to Rosalillita is about 85 miles south of Catavina and then 9-10 miles out to the town. Not "hundreds of miles."
