San Juanico(Scorpion Bay) is a charming, tiny fishing and surfing community known for its point breaks and fantastic south swells. While there are quite a few camping options, we were looking for a hotel and this place had what we were looking for...and some extras.
The hotel grounds were beautiful and the little casitas were large and well-appointed (minus a hairdryer and tv). Oh yeah, the hotel ,at the time when we visited, only had power from 8am-12pm and 6pm-12am. That was all kinds of kooky, but we made do. If anything, we made it a special event to watch the lights go out at night. It's the little things, I tell ya!
The town itself was pretty desolate and the hotel restaurant was closed at night. However,the nice guy at the check in desk gave us a great recommendation for dinner at El Burro.Loved it. Overall, probably the best place to stay in San Juanico. Just be sure to watch out for the critters. I caught a crazy huge spider in our room on the day of checkout, and probably wouldn't have been able to sleep in our room had I caught it the night before. However, it did make for a nice story. read more
