Friendly Dolphin

5 of 5 stars
Moorpark, California
Nov 15, 2008

We ended up at The Friendly Dolphin last night. Our very large group had a buffet in the center of town where a bunch of the restaurants contributed but by the time we got there, the tables were all taken and a lot of the food was gone. So we asked a couple of locals where The Friendly Dolphin was... more

I stayed at this Condo/Hotel Resort over the long Columbus Day Weekend, for three nights, October 11,12, 13, 2008. My condo was # 204W(west), on the second floor. It was a two bedroom/two bath condo, about 1,100 Square feet, with about a 300 Sq. Ft. balcolny. The whole condo and balcolny was furnished very nicely. I rented this condo for... more

This guy cooks it up right outside his house. This is off the beaten path into the town PP. So leave the resort and enjoy his carnitas.:) more

Mayan Palace Puerto Penasco

Nov 5, 2008

We've just returned from a week at the Mayan Palace in Puerto Penasco (also called Rocky Point). Previous reviews had us a bit concerned, but we loved every minute of our time there. We had a 1 BR room with views of the pool and Sea of Cortez. Yes, the cooking facilities are limited...2 small burners on cook-top, that you... more

I stayed in a very nice 2 bedroom condo at Las Palomas. I have no problems with the unit itself. My bad experience came from the service provided at Las Palomas. I was there during a slow time and my boyfriend and I were the only two people at the swim up bar for most of the trip. Three guys... more

This resort is amazing! From the moment you pull into the driveway of the resort, you will feel like you are in another world. I traveled with a group of 4 adults over Labor Day weekend. The weather was sunny and hot every day, which was perfect for sitting on the beach or poolside. The resort is very new, so... more

This is the 2nd time that I have stayed at this property. The facility is beautiful, all redone and diligently maintained. The staff at all levels is considerate, helpful and polite. We were upgraded to a junior suite because the standard room that we booked was not available. The hotel was full with a business function, an orthodonists's meeting and... more

Beautiful room and property. Spectacular view. The beach is right in front of you. Advertised internet access. If you have a wire and can plug into the phone, I believe you can get internet access in your room. However, to get consistent WIFI, you must take your laptop to the lobby. Snack bars/casual dining not consistently open as scheduled (open... more

We traded into the Mayan Palace through our timeshare and we had a wonderful time! We had 6 kids with us ages 6-18 and they all loved it too! If you're looking for a party, this is not your place. It's pretty low key and a safe & enjoyable place for FAMILIES. The beach is gorgeous and gentle enough for... more

Visited Puerto Penasco last weekend at "The Reef" Campground. Had a great time and the weather was perfect. On Sunday the guys were interested in watching all the football games and getting a bite to eat. They were a bit concerned in finding a place and I was concerned that I would be bored out of my mind! We came... more

We just got back yesterday from a weeks vacation. We exchanged through RCI and had a 2 bedroom lockout. The drive down from the Phoenix area was smooth. We got there about a half hour past dark which was a mistake. We did get turned around in the town of Rocky Point, but a man that worked for Mayan resorts... more

Just returned from Pinacante Condos and it was great cuz nobody was there! We had the whole pool to ourselves. We stayed in room #409 and although it could use some new pots and pans and cable tv (we were soooo bored at night cuz nuthin is open except for a pizza place) this place was a 6 1/2 out... more

Sonoran Sky Resort

Sep 20, 2008

Wow! What a great value! We were there Sunday thru Friday, but had planned only to stay until Thursday. We were fortunate that the condo was available the extra night. Our condo was very well appointed with beautiful furnishings, and all that we needed to use the kitchen. The service was excellent. Housekeeping was great, but being just two of... more

I went to the Timeshare presention and like mentioned before, the staff tells it will only take 90 minutes. We were there for 4 hours. I was explained that I could use all the Mayan resorts, so I got the timeshare after being pressured over and over..When I went to reserve for October 3 - 5. I was told that... more

Playa Inn Hotel

Sep 3, 2008

Arrival: Despite having all my expedia confirmation information, was told at check-in that I did not have a reservation. The staff seemed uncaring, and our party waited half an hour while they tried to find my reservation. Then the owner, a very pleasant man, listens to my situation and says that he will find us a room, and we will... more

The drive was a lot better than I expected. The roads were clear and fairly well paved. The signs as we got closer to Puerto Penasco were a little confusing, so we ended up in town rather than turning to the road to get there, but we ran into a local person who noticed we looked a little lost and... more

Playa Bonita Hotel

Aug 27, 2008

Not bad for Mexico - Not the fancy resorts that you drive by, but it has that Mexico charm! It is showing signs of aging, but we did'nt go there for the resort, but more for the beach - which was good! more

My wife, I, and two other couples returned to the Phoenix area today after a Fri/Sat/Sun weekend stay at the Sonoran Sun. August is off-peak season in Rocky Point - temp was in the 90's and the humidity was high. There were few other guests around. Check-in was fast and courteous. We had a 3 bedroom penthouse suite on the... more

Just got back from Puerto Penasco. We stayed for 3 days and had a wonderful time. We think this place will be the next Cancun. It is not there yet but we are pretty sure it will be especially after the International Airport opens. What everyone is saying about being HOT in August is true. The weather can get really... more
