Motel Creston: very clean and inexpensive
EllenH Says: We stayed here in 1983 on our honeymoon and we loved it, it was very cheap then, less then $15 for the two of us for a great room and a great pool right outside our door. We again stayed in 2001 with our two kids and believe it or not it was even nicer, it cost probably $50...
Maria's cantina: still there 18 years later
EllenH Says: We ate here on a trip in 1983 and again in 2001. First of all 18 years in a restaurant is staying power, I don't know about in Mexico but here, 18 years is a long life for a restaurant. The food was good both times, and since we are always on a budget traveling, a good deal...
Picolo: The Best food in San Carlos
SenoraSusan Says: This place has always been known as the place to get a great meal-every time. From fresh fish daily to a wonderful beef selection there is something for everyone. Any of the daily specialties are superb.

Alex knows how to run a drinking establishment.! From great live music to keeping the regulars happy, Alex does it all.
This place welcomes the locals, tourists and some older gringo color (Swell Mel).
Catch happy hour and stay for the music and meet people from all over the world.
Dress Code: Mel takes a shower on Friday night before happy hour. Karen doesn't wear much and we love to look at her. Casual is it. Hey, we're at the beach.

SenoraSusan Says: IF you do any sort of business with SB Realty or * Realty be very careful and NEVER sign a power of attorney for anything.Remember the Mexican government does not protect foreigner's investments. Do not buy here if you value your views.
EllenH Says: Do not go to San Carlos the week after spring break. I imagine not going during spring break would be even better advice. It was 100 degrees and the previous week a small town had been invaded by 100,000 kids with not much place to go to the bathroom or put their beer...
SenoraSusan Says: Do not pay these kids who crawl on your car without your permission. If the local drunk washes the windows-10 pesos is what you SHOULD pay but 20pesos is what he will ask. Do NOT give him more! When you are parking and do not want your car washed-look the man or kid in the...
EllenH Says: OK they are fun and they are charming and they seranade you at your dinner table whether you want them to or not. But then they put their hand out and demand a tip. We had just arrived and I only had the equivilent of about $2 in pesos so I gave it to him. HA, he was...

SenoraSusan Says: This fishing village is located on a long dirt road. The locals have boasted about the 'old days' of fishing. One man said he killed 30 sharks a day. Those days are long gone. The Sea of Cortez has been fished out. Now a days he survives by doing a few construction projects...

I went to San Carlos in 1982 after working a stint at the Grand Canyon, fell in love with the place so when I got married in 1983 went back to the same place on my honeymoon. Decided to take the kids...
Considered as the main touristic spot in Sonora, it is located at 120 kms from Hermosillo and 390 kms from the USA border. There are also many Americans and Canadians that live in San Carlos during...
Near San Carlos (northern Sea of Cortez) you can find a small island inhabited only by friendly sea lions. I did 3 dives there - meeting sea lions on each of them.
