    Safe in Puerto Penasco?

    The way I heard it, that banana boat guy was drunk and insisted on swimming back to shore. The banana boat didn't kill him...more like he killed himself.

    Homeowners Insurance

    Hmm...actually we do sell Hydro coverage, but MAPFRE TEPEYAC no longer offers it to beachfront properties (anything less than 500 meters from the highest tide). The MAPFRE policy is popular because it has no deductible on most coverage. If a client wants Hydro coverage, we go with an ACE policy...

    Melissa, I hope Paty did a good job of explaining the hydro and earthquake coverage. HYDRO: 1. Damage caused by a normal storm is not covered at all. That's why they call it Hydro Phenomenon. It must be an an unusual storm, meaning stronger than usual as per the national weather service. 2...

    Wierd scene coming into Rocky Point today.

    I have spoken to three Bella Sirena residents who were there yesterday when the poop hit the fan. All three are in agreement that at no time did a helicopter fire into the resort. Two of them consented to taped interviews to be played on Saturday's Rocky Point Ramblings. The copter did fire at...

    Wierd scene coming into Rocky Point today.

    Without distracting from the ongoing conversation I'd like to point out that this Municipal administration has finally done what we've always asked for: release a statement addressing what happened. Regardless how you feel it was 'spun', we've made craploads of progress. Never before would a...

    Wierd scene coming into Rocky Point today.

    Stephen, it didn't occur to me that you weren't being truthful. I thought you'd been misunderstood. If not for that, I would've addressed you directly. Again, I want to be sure not to minimize the fear felt or even the danger to which anyone was exposed. I have friends who were home in Bella...

    Wierd scene coming into Rocky Point today.

    Vent all you want. I get it. I just want to keep things as close to the truth as possible. Someone else on here says the shots he heard were from a helicopter. I've pointed out that the helicopter was shooting INTO THE DESERT. The shots could clearly be heard in the condos. In the video, where...

    Wierd scene coming into Rocky Point today.

    I was on the phone with Stephen at just after 5am and at various other times throughout the morning. Several times I specifically asked where the shooting was and always got the same answer: "in the desert". I'm fully aware the there was shooting at Bella Sirena, but that was ground forces who...

    Wierd scene coming into Rocky Point today.

    Lol! What you think is me searching for words is attributed to all of the following: 1. When interview started I was alone in the office. Three times during the interview someone walked in the door and I looked over each time and tried to signal them to be quiet. 2. The reporter swore she'd...

    Wierd scene coming into Rocky Point today.

    Melissa, despite what you've heard there was no helicopter shooting into a resort complex trying to pick off bad guys. There were shots fired at Bella Sirena once the military got there (on the ground) because they went after the bad guys who were entrenched there. Prior to that, the shooting...

    VAT hurts!

    The tax increase passed in the Congress, and will now go to the Senate. It might very well go through, but hopefully not. It would affect real estate as well as anything else imported. There are other ramifications as well; tax on school tuitions, increased income tax, capital gains, etc.

    VAT hurts!

    Jerry, Senator Ernesto Gandara says it isn't a done deal. And congressman Enrique Reina Lizarraga will be in Penasco soon to answer questions on it. I'm not saying it won't pass, just that it seems to me that it's still under consideration. By the way, Gandara is on the Committee and is against...

    Question about restaurant Pesos to Dollars Conversion

    Russ, I'm surprised you don't use Intercam. I wish I'd found them sooner. I wait until the exchange rate is right then cash a US check for as much as I want to spare for "operating pesos". They give the best exchange rate, and around town I'm spending pesos that I bought cheap.

    How to Legally Bring $ for Property Purchase

    This is easy. Deposit the money in your US checking account. Once in Penasco, go to Intercam in Plaza Fremont, across from the immigration office. They will cash the check for you and give you dollars. Leo is the manager. He's bilingual and very helpful. They charge a small commission...I think...

    Helmet Law?

    Oh, it'll change things for sure. People need to realize that going to the police station and paying your fine is easier, faster and cheaper here than in the States. And if you hit a snag...call me. Mordidas might be common, but they are not a part of the culture anymore than the old stereotype...

    Helmet Law?

    The quads are exactly the reason many of our clients put full coverage on their vehicles and still purchase a DL policy. That way you've got liability when driving the quad. If you run someone over, though, please do it on a real street. We've not yet had to test how adjusters see it when the...
