Please do not confuse the Buena Vista Beach Resort in the article by Hashem with Rancho Buena Vista, they are two totally different resorts.

Rancho seems a better-known location due to its age.

I passed the "Rancho" on the sand during the sightseeing with the "side by side". From my view it looked old, unkept and not inviting.

I may be wrong and perhaps from the other side it is a better-looking place.

Rancho Buena Vista seemed to be a well run resort when I was there. The rooms were clean, the restaurant did a great job cooking up our fish (and other items), the staff was friendly and efficient, and the pool bar stayed busy.

However that was in 2013 so it's hard for me to say how it is today. There are many fishing lodges in that region today, some new and some old, and they all seem to have their regulars who prefer them for one reason or another. I think the fishing itself is pretty much the same considering they all basically fish the same waters.

This link to the Baja Pirates fleet, my favorite fleet in La Paz, gives a good overview of the main species caught on the boats as well as the primary months they are available (and the seasons are the same at La Paz as at the East Cape).
