Come relax at our small beach front resort with its hacienda style
house and unique casitas with palapa roofs set in a beautiful tropical
garden. It is the perfect place for your family reunion or simply to
enjoy life in rural Mexico with your friends, or just for a quiet get
away. Take in panoramic views of the beautiful empty beaches and
magnificent mountains, while you are surrounded by our lush tropical
gardens.

Enjoy cooking those gourmet meals with your family in our large
complete kitchen while enjoying the view of the ocean waves.
Between the kitchen and the beach front veranda, is the entertainment
room with TV, VCR/DVD, video library and stereo with Sirius satellite
radio, with speakers in all areas of the house, inside and out.

As well as a shower on the veranda to wash off all of that sand, there
is a beautiful, unique full bathroom off of the entertainment room.

Each guest room at La Rosa is a unique experience.
Our thatched roof cabanas are built mostly from native materials.
They are set in lush gardens are which are full of native plants and
fruit trees of all kinds. Inside, rooms are decorated with rustic
locally made furniture with queen sized beds and ceiling fans
(bedrooms in the beach house have air conditioning also). Each guest
casita has it's own private bathroom which are large and tiled with
electrical outlets.

There is a large thatched roof beach front palapa were you may enjoy
your meals, hold meetings, or just hang out with your family enjoying
the sun and surf.

Barras de Piaxtla is a small fishing village of around 450 people one
hour north of Mazatlan in the Mexican state of Sinaloa. Although they
now have electricity and running water, the people here live much as
they have done for hundreds of years, fishing and ranching. Many of
the houses are still made from small sticks cut from the local woods
and woven into walls.

In the Barras there are activities for the perfect vacation for anyone
who loves nature, or just wants to relax away from the industrial world.

Exploring-With miles of gorgeous white sand beaches and volcanic rocky
tide pools, it is possible to spend days in tranquil exploring,
without seeing another soul.

Biking-Because bicycles are the main source of transportation in the
area, there are endless miles of mountain bike trails. When staying
with us, you are welcome to use our bikes to explore the town and near
by beaches. If you need a guide, just ask.

Kayaking- La Rosa will provide the comfortable sit on top kayaks with
all of the equipment needed and bird identification information for
peaceful days of exploring the miles of estuary.

Fishing- Fish with the locals, like the Mexicans do! Sorry, no fancy
sport fishing boats here. But, we can arrange for you to go out with
a local experienced fisherman to catch your own fish, lobster, shrimp
or oysters for your dinner!

Surfing-There is great surfing in the area! For those who just want to
fool around in the surf, we can lend you a surf board. If you are a
serious surfer, bring your own board and we will point you in the
right direction for some world class surf.

Oyster Diving-In the rich waters around the mouth of the estuaries,
oysters, shrimp, octopus and other sea life thrive. One of our local
friends can take you diving for a couple of hours with just our
snorkeling gear and you can come back with plenty of oysters for dinner.
