Went through several days ago. Much of the area near the Malecon is flooded with sewer water. Bad smell, and not too sanitary. Stayed with a Nomad at the Coco Cabanas. Very nice stay.

Yes it does. It's a disaster, and a real hazard to the public health.
This is the "manhole" on Calle Davis, oozing live sewage. And we've been driving thru this mess for three weeks. Yikes!

It will be even worse when it dries out and becomes an airborne health hazard.

Loreto is such an awesome place that just seems to keep getting in the way of itself.
Constant construction to close the Malecon and now this.... speaking of this year only

Holy Crap. We just got into town yesterday afternoon, & checked out Santa Fe Hotel. $999.00 pesos for two people. We passed. Then down to Las Flores and was over $100.00 for two people. Then over to Coco Cabana, and SCORED!!!!! $59.00 for just a room per night. And these folks are absolutely committed to customer satisfaction. Met folks from Albany Oregon at the great pool. (we're from Roseburg Or) small world stuff works at it's finest in Loreto. We drove down Davis, but must have missed the 'mess' because we took another street then turned into Coco Cabana. Didn't detect any odor while sitting around the pool visiting?????

Cocos Cabanas is very good. I have heard that Iguana Inn can't open because of standing water on the property. Another good choice is SuKasa Bungalows at 35-55/night.

yes, there are a few streets with problems but north of downtown, some puddles in the tourist areas but the new malecon is looking great, the weather is good, people are as welcoming as ever and life goes on.

I'm beginning to think that the city is waiting for a good outbreak of Cholera to happen so they can get some International money to help fix the problem. It's been almost a month now.

Coco Cabanas is a nice place. However, just on the next block down Salvatierra from Santa Fe, and next door to Domingo's Place restaurant is Hacienda Suites. Currently their rates are the same as Coco. Nice rooms. Big pool. Bar and restaurant on site.

The Iguana Inn is always closed from mid-summer thru mid-fall while the owners are enjoying life in south orange county. This was extended this year due to a late Oct. knee surgery. They are due back soon and the the Iguana Inn will reopen shortly thereafter.

The standing water mentioned is fresh water seeping up from an underground stream and has nothing to do with the sewage problem in others areas in town.

Fresh water that comes out of the sewer drains. Come on get a grip. It's contaminated water and that's the way it is! Who do you think you are fooling? It's a mess and it needs to be cleaned up.
I drive through it when I'm going to my house. If you think it is fresh water go have a drink of it...
