Some beneficial information for boaters to be aware of from Jim R's recent newsletter. Looks like you can do it online, which is a good thing. New Regulations for Bringing Your Boat Into Mexico Historically, the experience of crossing into Mexico via the Lukeville Border crossing has been one...

What is happening with the Sandy Beach location? He had it really fixed up. Extremely neat and clean when he showed us around.

You don't need/want the pools heated in the summer time! El Sol does a good enough job :)

Did the rains arrive?

It is a against Mexican law for any children (owners or renters) to be in the bar pool. It used to be that renters could not use the gym - I think because the equipment got too much hard use - there was talk about changing that. Unless things have changed, no one was to bring coolers/drinks to...

Any more information on the Phoenix to Penasco air flights?

The following was part of the Bella Sirena Oct 2012 Quarterly newsletter. There were other references in President's letters, etc., as to the need to check trusts/paperwork. Check Your Bank Trust Status! In recent months, it has come to light that several owners at Bella Sirena have a...

So happy for you. Our Bengal just arrived to sprawl across the back of my chair after opening and closing cabinets - loudly. I can't begin to imagine the heartbreak of losing him. They are such a wonderful part of our lives.

Do pray you find your kitty. George, our Bengal, lived at Bella Sirena for 3 years. He loved it. An F2 he was an indoor cat. He like hanging over the 8th floor balcony and gave us heart failure.

We've known you for some years, both as a client and as a friend. We've never known you to be less than honest and always there for anyone that needed you - client, friend or stranger (probably even for a few non-friends). You were always there for us and ours. We believe in you as always.

Russ, We were like you, careful in our usage - but never uncomfortable. Had a 2 story place and our electric bill was usually less than what we had paid in the States. I did know of people that used a lot of electricity and their bills were terrible. Think it is interesting that AZ considering...

You would enjoy October on Sandy Beach - weather usually great - days warm, nights cooler - water still warm and generally no crowds, especially mid week. Think that and into beginning of November our favorite times there. Glad you had fun.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful time. Enjoy yourselves a lot. Remember that most people down there aren't in a big hurry. They will stop in the middle of the street to talk to friends - service can be slow - manana is alive and well in Penasco. Enjoy the views and meeting new friends...

My first time down was in 1948 - a lot different then with about 300 or so people - as you can obviously tell, our family was hooked!

You can do it online through Rosie's ProAlliance, I believe. We've known Rosie since 2010 and she is fantastic. We had auto (didn't need to use it fortunately) and homeowner's which we did need to use - Rosie was there immediately and took care of everything - much easier then in the US. Rosie...

That is what we always found in Penasco. Got a flat tire a year ago and before Bill could get out of the car a guy came across the road to help - didn't want money but we told him to get a cervesa after work.

In 1984 a group of us came down - some for the first time - and stayed at the Villa Granada. One was a college student, born and raised in Boston & attending Harvard. His nose was so far up in the air it is a wonder he had any idea of where he was walking. He couldn't believe that his Dad had...

We lived there full time and never felt better. Part of it, I think, is the food. Pure sugar - not as much of it - not as much packaged foods - tons of avocados because they are soooo good and so inexpensive compared to the States. You tend to walk more. You interact with people - we never went...

Our kids use Castaways and have been very pleased. One thing, Castaways has always made sure that all the Mexican laws are followed - no getting in trouble with the Hacienda over unpaid taxes or reports not filed.
