I booked here based on other TripAdvisor reviews and was very pleased. You get plenty of room (essentially an apartment plus a huge deck with great view over the bay), very clean rooms (big points for my wife), great decorating (bright Mexican colors), and great food for breakfast (fried plantains, mangoes and such). I would definitely book here again.

What a wonderful place for our family to relax. The calm water of Cholla Bay was perfect for our two year old daughter and Gretchen, the host, was amazing. She was warm and inviting and made us feel at home. The casita was beautifully decorated in local style and the breakfast was abundant and delicious. An excellent place to go out of the way and sooth yourself. A lot of bang for the buck!

This is a wonderful B&B located right on the bay. Great hospitality. It was a very warm and friendly environment. The accommodations were nice. The breakfasts were fantastic. Meeting the owner was like meeting a long-time dear friend. We joined the other guests for a fun-filled day of riding Quads. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Cholla Bay in Puerto Penasco, Mexico did not conjure up very good images for me. I had been to Rocky Point and my impression was that Cholla Bay would be a dusty dirty little village full of rowdy people. Absolutely not so.

Cholla Bay is lovely, the little town is quite charming, and Casa Monica is an absolute FIND! We found Casa Monica on the internet, had family in town, and decided to embark on the adventure. We were more than pleased.

Casa Monica is a lovely home - owned by a local American real estate agent. She has lived in Cholla Bay for many years and is a wonderful source of information, a great cook, hospitable host, and has one of the best houses in the area. She has a beautiful and friendly chocolate standard poodle, who was always more than happy to talk a walk with us out to the bay at sunset.

We rented the upstairs unit for all of us and found it to be bright, cheery, decorated with all the colorful Mexican flair that one would expect, and a view that will blow you away. The bay is one of the few bays in the world that completely empties at low tide. You can walk out for what seems to be miles on the beautiful white rippled sand and dig for clams or just enjoy the view of the beautiful turquoise sea as it recedes.

The neighbors next door have a big golden retriever. We watched him daily walk out into the bay before the tide went out and simply sit there and soak for hours. He came out only for a potty break or to snack. Sounds like he has learned to chill out in true south of the border style. We just loved it here!

The accommodations, food, and hospitality made us feel right at home - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
