I just spent a week at RL. Winds made the sea rough and water temperature was too cold for great fishing. We did catch fish, but we had hoped for Dorado, which we couldn't find. As soon as the water temperature becomes a little warmer, fishing should be great.

If you want to go to a place for relaxation, this is it. Large comfortable rooms, a terrific staff, and a mixture of Mexican and American cuisine, together made for a great visit. Drinking water from the tap was fine, without any problems. There are no televisions or phones in the rooms. (WiFi and television are located in the Cantina -- Be aware the TV has limited access to some blacked-out US sporting events. We rented Room 2 which was close enough to the Cantina to get WiFi service from our room.) I tried to get live-streaming of my home town playoff games on my laptop to no avail. My fault. I should've set those subscriptions up before I left the US.

I had the pleasure of meeting John Ireland, the owner of Rancho Leonero, over early morning coffee. He is a friendly person and freely shares the history of the Rancho and the surrounding area.
