Hotels in Conception?


Are there any places to stay in Conception this time of year. And do they have AC?

Or is it only that Buenaventura place that had that 50 page mess of a thread. What's the latest with that place.

I can tell you this; that 'mess' is just that, slander and nothing more. They have a guest house available, dunno about A/C, and it will be well worth your while if you're looking for comfortable and cozy conditions. No hotel, hasn't been in 10 years. They're off-grid and on generator power, so hot water-time is pre-negotiated. Restaurant/bar right next door.

Please, try to ignore all the BS that has been bantered; all hateful troll-spam and defamation. Why else 50 pages???? Think about that. It's a legit place, and they're legit people. the guest house is very comfortable, the perks sublime.

I'm willing to bet that by page two of this new thread the same old CRAP is going to start up again; love twines, hate festers.

You dont want to go inside Concepcion, this time of year, unless you have AC (or a GOOD fan system) and water for fairly frequent showers. You will be in the water, CONSTANTLY, because of the heat. That's hard to do, at night.

Many areas of Concepcion get cut off from breezes by the surrounding hills.

And stay away from any mangrove areas as the no-see-ums can be particularly bad, this time of year.

I guess Bob and Susan have a place in Concepcion. It also may have some of the best breezes in there. But anchoring there could be iffy, if the wind comes up.

If you're arriving by boat, I'd recommend just doing a half day in there for swimming.

JZ, are you in town? I hope to be crossing over to that area tomorrow by boat.

I totally forgot about their place. That might be the best bet for us.

It is super nice, and Pacifico is served! Do watch out for the man eating attack dogs, however!

Bob and Susan's place is not by Concepcion. Farther North. But certainly a nice place to stay.

Actually, their place is within Bahia Concepcion, somewhat close to the entrance. I think JZ is on a boat and will be looking for an anchorage. Playa Frambes is not a protected anchorage, the water there can get more rockin' and rollin' than the more popular anchorages further within the bay.

And there's no air conditioning except for private homes with generators, except for Playa Frambes.

Uh, no, it's inside the generally accepted mouth of Bahia Concepcion. That's where the OP is asking about.

Correct, my photos were from July, 2009 on our first anniversary. Bob and Susan made us feel very comfortable and we would like to stay there again some day. The casitas are two bedroom, so great to share with family or friends.

AC at night is all you need, at this time of year. Not needed during the day. You're in the water and in the shade with a breeze.

Big Plus, B and S.

Now, what about any slips at that area north of you? Can they be had for JZ?

I'm fine with anchoring out at Chivato.

Yup, now is not a good time for Buenaventura w/o A/C, but please take an early lunch break down, take your kayaks and snorkels, check out the guest house for later visits (especially the colder months) and ask rates/people/days, etc..... and mas importante, dice hola a la Bahia para mio, por favor. Have a good summer.

Is the Buenaventura hotel open? I thought Muņoz abandoned or stopped maintaining it it while he was too busy trying to force Mark and Olivia off their land...? Last report I remember reading said it was a dump.

Sunny boy, at least try reading the whole thread before posting only about the last previous one before trying to get your dozen-quota-of-the-day in.

HOTEL'S CLOSED. THEY HAVE A GUEST HOUSE.

Buddah boy, WHO has a guest house??? NOT the hotel!! Some may not know there are two places at San Buenaventura, next to each other.

When I post here I am not thinking of just my needs, but information that benefits others who may not know.
