Has anyone been to San Felipe, Baja California Lately?

Growning up we use to go every summer to San Felipe, we always stayed at a condo right off the sand. Its been 7 years since i''ve been there and I wanted to take my husband and his family out there. But im not sure if its gotten worst, crazy or what? Has anyone been out there recently? Also is it expensive? If we decide to go where are the best kick it spots?



There's a timeshare resort south of town that's been operating for a few years. They have nice (for Mexican standards) condos and nice amenities. I think it's just called the San Felipe Resort.





Just south of downtown, there's a couple good places to stay. One is the Las Palmas hotel, where you can get a 1 bedroom bungalow or just a hotel room. It also has a good restaurant and bar, pool, etc. Right next to that is a vacation condo building (eight 2 and 3 bedroom units, with full kitchens, balconies overlooking the Sea of Cortez, and garages) called Casey's Place. The guy that runs it is an American and you can look it up on the internet for reservations.





What's nice about these types of places with kitchens is you can get huge shrimp down by the waterfront for like $20 a kilo and have yourself a cheap San Felipe shrimp feast.





It's also about a mile walk into downtown (in case you're drinking a lot) or a short drive. There you'll find a lot of good places to eat and drink (my friends always end up at the Miramar bar).





Just west of town on the main drag is a good restaurant/hotel called the Red Lobster (no relation to the US restaurant chain).





And, of course, if you like camping on the beach, there's all kinds of campos north and south of town, for RVs and tents.
