Local as in Phx or Tucson? In Penasco you can pick up cheap umbrellas at the Pharmacia 2000 (or 3000?), Super Ley, the Walmart/Bodega, etc. These are usually under $10, though most places have a couple of different qualities offered. The bad thing about the very thin ones is the shade they...

Wow, we were in Penasco on Friday, staying at El Mirador Village because it was just a one-night trip, and considered packing up and hauling down to Mi Playa. Glad we didn't. How sad. The beach was very clean in front of El Mirador, all the to the right down to Manny's, then to the left down...

Yeah, I don't know exactly what she purchased either, and what the date restrictions are, etc. A week there for $500 is cheap, depending on many factors, maybe there are other fees. No clue.

Ahh, OK, perfect. Thanks for all the helpful advice! ANOTHER good friend's mom bought a timeshare down there (I was mortified she had, I had been warning her for years not to) and after less than two years she is so disappointed. Among other issues, the indoor pool was her selling point (she's...

Brilliant! And the greeter with the hour of your time, you mean that's so she can pretend to bring you around the premises as soon as you get there, but it's actually a way to lure you into the pitch room? Or she wants to schedule an hour for the pitch at some other time?

Thanks! That's exactly the info I was searching for for her.

Oh, right, I've warned her about that. I'm just wondering if they're going to throw down a $50 a day cleaning fee or tax, etc.

A friend of mine's boss gave her a free week at the Mayan Palace starting tomorrow and she's wondering if it's legit, etc. He is part of this timeshare group: Global Offices ,and the company is based out of Scottsdale. His name is on the main confirmation email, but she called Mayan and they...

There's that subscription fishing site that people used to talk about on here that has a fairly accurate water temp, according to the local fishermen. I think you can get a 30-day trial for free, and the main site will show you general readings without any membership. Anyone remember the link?

If you're on the Malecon, Senior Amigo's makes a pretty strong one, you can get it to go. Same goes for Perico Maninero, depending on who's bartending. As long as they're making it in front of you, they don't mind you asking to make it more/less sweet, to use Cointreau, etc. Perico used to...

I guess complaining about the guy who charges 50 pesos to get in the area, yet obstructs emergency vehicles, didn't help, despite an editorial such as this: http://defrente.com.mx/2012/04/hace-el-tio-towi-de-la-loma-en-la-cholla-un-negocio-lucrativo/

Terrible. Couldn't believe that photo of Competition Hill at night, all those headlights. Mix that with cases of Tacate... Truly a death-wish.

Car and/or ATV accidents?

And they interviewed someone AFTER spring break that had no problems--FINALLY! On a side-note, is Las Palomas really the largest resort in Penasco? Does that just mean physical size, not necessarily units?

Lame. Someone needs to tell them to switch the page to a "like" type group category. And the photos should all be set to "public," not "friends only."

Across from Oceano rentals, OK, that's what I thought, but Oceano lists their address as a side street or some other office. Here are the directions, but it sounds like the some of the signs are already up. Until there is additional signage, to get to Mi Playa: when heading along Blvd...

Thanks! Was just about to post that link.

Via Russ Black and Rocky Point 360's Facebook status posts (listed below), the new public beach that has been spoken about on here for the last few months has opened, just in time for the Semana Santa Mexican holiday. The entrance is apparently hard to find, but sounds like you take Fremont, go...

You've got to wonder about this fantasy port construction if for weeks Penasco city officials can't even pull the damn half-sunken Fiesta Cruiser out of the middle of the current harbor.

Hahaha, no kidding! Very ironic that rumors to the effect of "work is starting, etc." on the cruise ship dock further down the line on sandy beach and that pile of cr@p just sits out in the middle of the harbor for weeks on end. Wonder what investors of those multimillion-dollar companies would...
