Rocky Point Mexico

I was looking around the visitrockypoint.com site, a visitor site for the beautiful (based on pictures that have me wanting to go there) Rocky Point resort in Mexico. Rocky Point is known by the locals as Puerto Penasco. A relaxing 4 hour drive from Phoenix & Tucson, or 677 miles from San Deigo, Rocky Point is a resort filled with comfortable beachfront homes, new condos and modern Mexico hotels.

The VisitRockyPoint website has information on over a dozen restaraunts and bars including El Delfin Amigable (The Friendly Dolphin) which is located in the "Old Town" part of Rocky Point and serves fresh seafood - and dinner is often accompanied by the owner, Gaston Rochin, wandering the dining room singing at the customers tables at least once during the evening.

The Adobe Restaurant at the Sonoran Sun Resort is listed as a must see place for visitors, a large restarunt with an upstairs sports bar and food that is described as "great and very Mexicanesk!"

Be sure to take a look at all the things that are listed under "Rocky Point News" on the main page. From bathtub races to the Angler of the Year Tournament. There is also a great section on the left side of the page for you to start your planning that offers excellent information on everything from crossing the border to the history of Rocky Point with some things that little armchair-archiologist me just found absolutely fascinating (including some information on 'Kenniwick Man').

Other things you can find on their sidebar for planning your trip include tips for while you're there (including how to get roadside assistance for the price of parts), FAQ, and emergency contact information.

NOTICE: I love trying to make this a good travel journal and while I know I fall short of my dream, I also spend a LOT of time pondering and rereading comments to see if I should post or delete as robot SPAM. So... a few rules on the comments.

I want anyone, not only Blogger members or Open ID members to be able to comment, however... Please sign your comment, if you do not it will not be published. Anonymous comments help no one and are unreliable.

Also, if you have a strong enough opinion to post a comment, please take time and make it informative - if you had a good time somewhere detail what you mean, don't just say "This place was great!!! Loved the buffet!", and if you had a lousy time please detail it, don't just say "This place sucked and the pool smelled! Ruined my vacation!" I want to feel as if you really were there when I read your comments.

If you have a website or blog where you detailed your experience it is even better, include a link to your website or blog - just make sure it is not to a SPAM site made to endorse/defame a location, because I will delete any that do not strike me as being legitimate personal sites.

Thank you for your help in making it easier for me to know what is robotic SPAM and what are real personal reviews.
