Hello Everyone,
Thank you for visiting our
site! We really, really, really, really, hope that you have a great time
in Rocky Point and hope that our site was a help in making some decisions for
your visit.
I'm going to go over some of the
basic issues that
I feel are important information "tid bits" that you need when traveling to Mexico,
Rocky Point, and traveling in general.
Managers Mexico info. & Tips:
-
Medicine is given over the
counter. If you are going to bring some back you'll legally need to
have your prescriptions. That includes penicillin, I think it's a good idea to find
out (from your doctor) if you are allergic to penicillin first if you plan
on using it.
-
Don't brush your teeth with the
water.
-
Don't use your middle finger as a
hand gesture to anyone in a uniform.
-
Drive slow at night.
-
Don't drink and Drive.
-
Be kind in Mexico (poor attitudes
get bad results in Mexico, unlike the U.S.).
-
Most things take forever in
Mexico (that's life ,we all have to deal with it).
-
Use common sense.
-
Lock your doors and watch your
money as if you were in the U.S.
-
If you drink be with friends.
(same goes anywhere)
-
Leave your guns, illicit drugs, and ammo
at home. (They are Illegal in Mexico)
-
Use your Visa & MasterCard
when you can for a better exchange rate.
-
Mexico's low, middle, & high
income people are mixed together throughout the neighborhoods, with mostly
low incomes. The look of Mexico is very mixed and mismatched.
-
The native language in Mexico is
Spanish not English.
Managers info. & Tips on Rocky Point:
- Rocky Point has been a fishing village for over 80 years and Tourism for
only the last 10 years. Don't expect great services & service
everywhere.
- Rocky Point has been in high demand. The price usually reflects demand
.
- Rocky Point is not as nice as San Diego, and Rocky Point is closer, less
crowded, and a lot less expensive over all..
- Rocky Point is getting nicer, bigger, and more fun every day.
- Rocky Point's best Hotel for your money is Peñasco
del Sol. (again
don't expect too much, Rocky Point is still starting out, the prices are
based on demand.).
- Rocky Point's best Condo's are tied between Sonoran Sun & Las Palomas. All
are nice and each have their own charm. (Princesa is also a great
place to stay.)
- Fill your gas tank in Sonoyta. The gas is incredibly cheaper, and
refined in the U.S.
- Get Mexican Insurance, if you don't have insurance and there is a dispute
about who is at fault, you will be detained until all damages and
"Fees" are paid in full (even if you are injured).
- Plan your vacation ahead, this may save you money and will guarantee you a
place to stay. Demand has been high in Rocky Point, so it is possible you
could end up without a room if you don't have a reservation.
- 1's & 5's are easier to make change from, (they also look like a lot
of money when stacked). I suggest using 1's and 5's for haggling and
purchasing arts, crafts, t-shirts, fish, and whatever you are buying
from a small vendor.
- If you are not used to the Taco Stands then consider staying away from
them.
- Water served in the restaurants is bottled and most of the time ok.
Do what I do and put a squeeze of lime in the glass to take care of the
unexpected. (I do that at the greasy spoons in the U.S. too)
- The native language in Rocky Point Mexico is Spanish not English.
