1 Large Room downstairs w/2beds and a couch - which I have passed out on working on my gear - so 3 people in there. I think 5 single rooms upstairs. Do not if they rent any of the other places down there. I've seen tent and small RVs there at times as well. Santo Tomas has houses and the like for rent and some excellent camping spots. All have standard off and on working toilets.

Where exactly is this place?

Google Map shows several places.

Found it. Thanks.

It looks like halfway to same latitude of Cedros Island.
I have fished the place called Bahia Santa Rosalillita, which across from the Cedros Island.
There is a small motel there, though I slept in a truck most nights.

If interested, I can provide a link to a report that I posted about that trip.

I spent a few days there a few months ago. Very nice fishery. The bay used to be a fabulous place for halibut but the Comercial guys really put a hurt on them. Very few decent one left in the Area. I understand that the hotel is booked as far as you can see with construction guys as they are building a huge aquaculture facility just north of town. Plenty of camping areas. Hope it fairs better than the big beautiful walled in Harbor that they built that filled in with blowing sand before it was even finished.

We did not try for halibut, but caught a lot of yellowtails as well as other fish.

I think the idea of harbor was to have the big boats come in and then go on land to Bahia the Los Angeles. A shortcut if you will from Pacific to Sea of Cortez.

Like you said the sand became an issue, but I heard it was from the sea washing into the harbor.
