Thanks guys for the feedback! I'd like to have it installed when I arrive in a 2 weeks so I'll try to contact them today to see how we could work things out to get something ordered in advance so it would be ready when we get there.

I am headed down in a couple weeks and want to upgrade an old/broken queen bed to a king. I found this frame on Amazon for $209: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R6OX5IM/ And this mattress for $295: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005A4OMKA/ So they would be ~$500 total. I think there's a 15%...

This made me laugh- my wife is from Navojoa in the south of Sonora and it is part of her Mom's daily morning ritual to "water the dirt". They don't call it "Polvo-joa" for nothing LOL.

I went to El Barco last monday morning at about 11am with 4 other buddies- it was unbelievable and everybody loved it. We brought our own beer just in case, and had a few down on the beach while they were getting the food ready, but they did have beer also which we gladly purchased when we sat...

yeah, we stopped by pretty early right around noon- I thought that Lucas normally was open every day, and it literally says "todos los dias" on the signs outside. So thats why I thought maybe the owners shut it down for the week for some reason. We're gonna swing by again to see and hopefully...

Not sure if anyone would have the inside scoop on this, but we stopped by Lucas today and it had a big closed sign out front even though they're normally open every day. Does anyone know if they'll be back open tomorrow or over the weekend? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks guys for the tips, I was very intrigued with getting some ground beef and making my own but we're in a big group and since Ive been playing tour guide I didnt think Id have enough time. I grabbed 16! sirloin burgers from Sams for like 107 pesos and they were fantastic! Sent from my...

Hey Gang! Just got down yesterday afternoon. Everything went perfect, but I wanted to throw burgers and dogs on the grill this week and I forgot the burgers [emoji22] The Mexican stores like Ley and Aurera are great for some things, but they often dont have certain 'gringo' stuff, especially...

Wow, my family is flying in tomorrow from Buffalo to Phoenix, and we're headed straight to RP. The HIGH temp today in Buffalo is 3 DEGREES. Needless to say they are stoked...

Yeah, that may explain why the ATM exchange rate is slightly lower than the "market"rate. But I have been using it for years and have been totally satisfied with the reimbursement of fees and the exchange rates they give in pesos. I may do a few tests to see what the actual rates are when I take...

The account balance is always is dollars. If you take dollars out at a US ATM or even at a Mexico ATM (rare but do exist in Mexico), you just take out dollars directly and get and fees reimbursed. If you take out pesos at a Mexico ATM, you essentially get pesos at just a shade below the...

I think it been discussed before on the forum, but if you open a Fidelity checking account you can take out local currency WORLDWIDE at the exchange rate and NO fees (they are automatically reimbursed at each ATM transaction). I am at the Sonoran Sea and they have a US Dollar ATM in the lobby...

Based on the rough directions people have given, I went to google maps and tried to plot the route to each place. Can someone confirm that these are the right routes and locations? Thanks in advance! El Barco: https://goo.gl/maps/bBVa4jcKAQ42 Punta Roja: https://goo.gl/maps/dM6SsK7xd7M2

I will be in RP all next week and planned to go on Monday late morning to the estuary and try out El Barco, Punta Roja or maybe both ;) I found a picture on TripAdvisor of the El Barco road sign and it said 9am-7pm but did not mention any closed days. And for Punta Roja I found little or...

I purchased a 2bed/2bath in late 2012 and have been renting as well as going down as often as we can :) It is definitely nice to have the rental income, and we have not had any major issues with renters (damage/complaints/etc), but mis is correct that is would be REALLY nice to be able to leave...

My wife needed to do the same thing and I just took the SIM card to a Movistar store and they had a tool to do it and did it for free right there. I think if you went to the TelCel store and asked they'd probably do it for free as well. BTW, we also got this Motorola dual-sim phone for her and...

Came in last night and seems its progressing well...

Stopped into "Fish" with the family last weekend to check it out. It was early afternoon and we ate breakfast late so we just split the shrimp appetizer ($12) and some focaccia bread ($1.50). The shrimp were pretty solid, although a bit on the small side, but definitely a great presentation and...
