That is what we like to hear !!!

The owner of the charter boats has another hotel in the same area as we stayed that could get us a 10% discount, but they were full when we were looking for a room.

I wish. I don't own the Mariposa, but it is awesome and I do get a discount. The Mansion is a great place as well, they are across the street from each other. Here's a view from the Mariposa, the mansion has the same awesome view!

More pics of the beach behind hotel. It is about 1/8 mile walk down black top road, then 1/8 mile down gravel pathway. Kayak rentals at the beach also.

There were Monkeys and Toucans everywhere. Few Sloths also.

Looks like a great trip Ray. My son AggieTiger and I went last May and fished three days out of Los Suenos. First day was 8 hookups/ 5 sails. 2nd day we targeted blue marlin and he caught and released one at about 400# then we caught a few snapper on way in. We stayed at the Marrriott. We're planning another trip in May as we speak bit I'll have to take a look at Gringo John's deals now.

Great photos. That 'hoo is delicioso'!

Sorry, no tuna.

We had a few hook ups that we lost also. I just counted the ones we brought to the boat.
We fished Los Suenos 3 times. Nice place, but actually caught more fish on this trip.
If you stay at Los Suenos, the condo's are cheaper than the Marriott.
If we would have stayed out longer on day 3, we would have caught more. My wife was just tuckered out.
I fished 3 days with this charter service for about $500 more than just 1 day at Los Suenos.
