Bay of LA hotel recommendation?
Hey there...
We're headed down in late October on motorbikes and will be spending a few days in Bay of LA. We're taking it easy this time and hopefully spending
time doing fun stuff off the bikes.
We've historically stated at the Hotel Villa Bahia but are up for someplace new.
Being on the beach is key.
Having onsite food/booze is nice, but not a requirement.
Thanks!

Costa del Sol is the best. Has a small restaurant and bar. Food is very good.

My other recommendation is to rent a panga. Go see the islands. There is a very cool bay/beach on Isla la Ventana. You can hike to the top of the
island and see the whole bay. Then take the boat to Rincon. Beautiful white sand beach with a ship wreck.

Los Vientos is good hotel. On the beach.
Woke!

Great call. Thanks. Rent our own or charter one ?
Renting sounds awesome. Thanks!

Charter. Just your party and the captain. You want a captain, makes life easier and they know where to go. You can sit back and have a few
Pacificos.
If you want to do a big adventure you can charter a super panga and have them take you 50 miles North to Puerto Refugio on Isla Ángel de la Guarda.

I always stay at Guillermo's when in BOLA. Big rooms, good food, and right on the beach. Also very close to a boat ramp if needed. Have fun!

Dagetts is right on the water and can offer fishing too. No onsite food or drink but a pretty nice place close to town.

Archelon now has a restaurant as well. Don't know if they serve alcohol but I believe they do.

No one has mentioned the Dias's.
Are they still there?
My first trip in the early 70's we stayed there (and a few other times).
I enjoyed talking to Mama and poppa Dias.

Stayed there in 1967 with my folks (I was almost 10) and again in 2017 while doing my road guide research. See the Trip #1 report. It was $20 for the
night, beach view, hot water, soft bed... What else was needed?
Here is my Trip Report (on Tacoma World, but the same as posted on Nomad): https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2017-baja-expedition-1-e...

Flew into there in 1973 with my dad, probably stayed in those same rooms. I recall we had turtle one night at the restaurant.
