Loved the town and the people. Very usable town. Nobody is coming at you to sell things or ask for money. It’s a real place to be. Could see living there. Also the beach we went to— Algodones—was great. Fantastic shells, but also nice consistency for walking and nice size. They have picnic tables if you want them, surrounded by a frame where you can rent a tarp to make it a covered area. Good restaurants. Especially liked Delfines and Blackies.

Never stay at the San Carlos Plaza. They were spraying for some type of bugs right outside our hotel room door. I can only assume it was for fleas as our dog was on flea meds but was infested with in 3 hrs of arriving. The air conditioning didn't work and it was very hot that day, we weren't even offered a fan when we complained. They also charged us for a night that we didn't stay and never reimbursed our credit card. They pretty much ruined our honeymoon and we will NEVER go back.

We especially like the small bay where the Sea of Cortez Beach Club is located. Our favorite restaurant there is Bonifacio's Cotton Club - absolutely excellent seafood and first class musicians entertaining during dinner. And a bonus is that there is an island right next to it that you can walk to at low tide. Parasailers and windsurfers seem to really like the conditions there as well. We have enjoyed watching them glide along the water at sunset. The whole area has a cozy feeling, but yet a ruggedness with the mountains jutting up from the sea. We think San Carlos is a real gem.

We came to San Carlos for a party. Next time, I would probably rent a car. The hotel was fabulous - San Carlos Plaza - on the beach and nice grounds, several restaurants. Less than $50 a night for an ocean view room. That was the best part - we could see sea lions from our balcony!

We really liked the town and felt very safe unlike some towns in Mexico we have been to. Our realtor, Diane Barroll, was exceptional and knew the area quite well. We highly recommend her. We also thought the weather was going to be a bit humid but it was wonderful. Like that the town wasn't too big and that there were bigger towns very close by for additional shopping. Loved the two big coves the city is located on as you can see across the coves for an interesting view.

you can do scuba diving from the beach, or take a boat and go to San Pedro and do some diving with the sea lions, go to Nacapule canyon and do the zip lines, kayaking on different places, sandy beaches, and the most beautiful ocean view of the world (National Geographic) and many more things to do, the best place to relax and enjoy the ocean
