OMG as a Northeast Realtor this is a place I could see coming down to visit for 3 days. Looks so clean and tranquil, thank you for sharing and I thought your coverage was fabu. I need to plan a getaway!!!

Amazing information that will ease our plans for our trip this summer.

Ocean view from rocky point! These buildings must be very tall!

Thank you for the good suggestions headed to Puerto peñasco tomorrow family vacation and staying at Las Palomas Resort

@@eltigreplacoso2188 i drove first from El Paso to Tucson, slept there and then to Puerto Peñasco. In total was 9 hours driving. I drove non stop on my way back.

Looks amazing, also food is incredibly 👌

Thanks…good video I’ll be heading down there for my bday in about a week. These are some really helpful tips.

Yeah we stayed at Las Palomas a couple of years ago and the unit was so large with a full kitchen and utensils.

Great video. We want to go visit this year.

los palomas has been my favorite stay (twice) and second best was the Esmeralda penthouse (crazy, once) three years ago and the construction on it is still not finished, today. Esmeralda is quiet/ dead, where Los Palomas is poppin and social.

When I lived in Tucson and friends from Nevada came visiting we Head to Porto Pinasco ( Arizona Beach ) went along water front and found a Fishing boat. You can rent a pango or a bigger boat. We did both. We caught fish. And had great boat rides. Shrimping boats would sell you shrimp right of the Boats for 5 gallon buckets $1.00. Rocky Point has grown big when I was there.

Thank you for sharing this awesome information on Puerto Penasco! I am actually hoping to stay there middle of June until the end of July. I am hoping to find a Spanish immersion class and would really love to find a homestay option. Love the great info you shared.

I took a emergency class and found the students All had pervious Spanish in college or highschool. . So It wasn't good for me. Then I did take class Quartzite ,AZ. But never got back to Rocky Pinasco .

I would feel safer in Rocky Point more than Phoenix. Just saying.....

Do I need a passport when driving to Mexico?

We've only ever stayed at Sonoran Sea/Spa, will need to stay at Las Palomas next time. That place looks nice!

Nice job! I'm interested in taking my family with similar age boys there in the near future. Thank you so much for doing this video! It really helps! Was also wondering if you or anyone else could comment on how hot it gets there in July and August as I would be trying to escape the Phoenix heat and hope it wouldn't be too hot down there as well at that time.. I think the worst might be around 95°? Any comments from anybody who knows would be greatly appreciated 😉

It's best to only drink bottled water/drinks, and in particular, I was once advised by some Mexican coworkers while I was down there taking care of some IT issues at their plant not to eat the lettuce, particularly from roadside vendors. (Because it's often contaminated with untreated human waste, though I don't recall if it was intentional fertilizer or inadvertently with contaminated ground water.)

Hi, where did you get the Mexican insurance from?

Don't forget to barter when you're there. They're asking price, is never the actual price. They love the barter it's not disrespectful there.

There are plenty of affordable places she overpays big time. I used to live in Las Palmas. Monthly rent isn't much more FYI. If you don't barter it's on you. Over in the fish market you can stay at one of Al Capone's old brothels. For only like 10 bucks a night. It's pretty close to all the bars. Spring break is a good time to be there.
