The hotel also has an inside and an outside bar for your convenience (I might add the bar serves delicious ceviche in the afternoons.) In addition to fishing, snorkeling, beach combing, kayak rentals, a fresh water swimming pool is available for the guests.

In the last two years, things certainly changed for the better at the Hotel Punta Colorada with the addition of the 10 spacious suites. This brings their total rooms count to 42. The spacious suites boast one queen size and two twin size beds, a small refrigerator to keep beverages cold, tiled floors throughout, a ceiling fan or air conditioning for your comfort as well.

In February, 2004, they launched a new loading dock. Which will greatly increase the safety when boarding and unloading from the cruisers and pangas (but the old flavor of wading out to a panga to be ferried to the cruisers will be sorely lost).

The fishing fleet consists of 28' cruisers, 28' super cruisers and pangas. The fleet manager is Alejandro who is most helpful with your fishing needs.

Rates for the hotel are $55 per day standard room per person, suites are $80 per day per person. Boat rental ranges from $300 per day to $400 per day (all rates do not include tax).

In conclusion, the hotel is located right at one of the most productive fishing grounds in the Sea of Cortez. Friendly staff, good food, reasonable prices. Because it is located in the middle of nowhere, this is a fantastic place if you just want to fish, relax and want to be away from the main stream of tourism.
