There were no dive plans, no dive briefing, and I was later informed that the (very young-looking) person that I was told was my DM was 14 years old. Standing on the coral and providing single use plastic cups is not my idea of a good dive boat. They did make utterly fantastic guacamole, but that's not a reason to pick a dive shop.

Liz, our hostess outdid herself with making us comfortable and ensuring we had everything we needed to make our stay memorable. She gave us a tour of Loreto so we could get a feel of where things were. Showing us the best restaurants and the most awesome homemade ice cream parlor. Liz arranged for a boat tour for us and let us know all the local happenings around the area. The Casita was equipped with everything you could imagine in a kitchen. I could have baked cookies if I was thus inclined, and the staff came in and cleaned every day. It was lovely having our morning coffee outside in the courtyard and with a heated pool you could swim at any time of the day. With a well stocked library and movies if you just wanted to stay at the casitas and relax you need not look anywhere else. Close by the town square and the marina, everything was within walking distance. We have already booked a 2 week stay next year we were so impressed with the service and room. Pros * Comfortable beds * Private courtyard * Heated pool * Free WiFi * Hostess with the mostest * Full kitchen * Every kitchen appliance and utensils you could think of * Library and games * Movies * Gated * Security lights so you can see at night * Tastefully decorated rooms * Walking distance to anywhere in Loreto Cons * Having to leave as it was all booked up

He brings safety equipment like helmets, and he supplies shorties, scuba boots, water, lunch and sunscreen if you need it. This is not a beginner's hike, so plan accordingly. We hiked in Chacos and Tevas, which Said did not approve of, but we did fine. Holding boots would be best.

Said took us on 2 tours while we were in Loreto in June and they were both incredible! If you're in…read moreLoreto you should book a tour with him because he will make sure that you have the best time and you won't be disappointed. The first day was a trip out to the San Javier mission which was beautiful and there is so much history out in that area. Said was very knowledgeable on the history of the area and the mission which added so much to the experience. The next day we went on a snorkeling tour to Dazante and Carmen Islands. We saw dolphins and marlins swimming near the boat and went on hikes on both islands to see the beautiful views. Most of our group wasn't very familiar with snorkeling and he was very patient with explaining everything and taking time with each person to ensure they were comfortable. It was such an incredible experience and Said made sure on both days to ensure that everyone in our group was having a great time and went out of his way to make the experience as wonderful as possible. We also had some of the best food on both days of our trip with him. He took us to a great restaurant in San Javier and then we had the best ceviche and guacamole on the beach during our snorkel tour. I can't recommend Said enough and we're already working on planning our next trip to Loreto and Said will be the first person we reach out to once we know when it will be since we know he'll make sure to plan the best experience for our next excursion.

George (Jorge) makes the fishing fun and his enthusiasm is infectious. Probably less beers on my next charter, but can't wait to return.

In the past used pangas - slow, uncomfortable, and direct sun - like a slow motion beating on the water. First time on a true fishing boat ... never go back to my old ways. We fished Marlin (catch and release) and lots of opportunities.

The people were friendly and welcoming. The lodging was modern, clean and first class at La Mision Hotel. Every meal was excellent or outstanding. Loreto is not Los Cabos. All of this became the backdrop to the jewel of the trip, a day of fishing and relaxation in the Sea of Cortez. Cast N' Reel provided an extremely comfortable and fast boat for our fishing adventure. By fast, I mean that we were able to fish in one day all of the locations that would have taken three day with the local panga boats. All of our needs were anticipated. Breakfast, snacks, lunch, soft drinks and Mexican beers were amply provided. I am a novice fisherman, so I really enjoyed having the perfect balance of coaching and mentoring when needed while also the opportunity to work things out on my own. It was difficult to remember that it was mid-December. The weather was perfect. We caught eleven fish of multiple varieties including grouper and cabrilla. While the marlin and yellowtail were elusive, we did see sea lions, dolphins, sea turtles and perhaps even the dorsal fin of a shy whale. At the end of our day, our catch was taken to one of the better dinner houses in Loreto and prepare in a variety different dishes. They were all wonderful. It would be difficult to have a better ending to our day.
