Yes! In spite of the harsh treatment from the US press, violent crime is lower in Rocky Point as compared either to Phoenix or Tucson. My family and I have taken ~ 150 driving trips over the past 7 years and have encountered zero incidents…not even a speeding ticket.

In the event of injury, Las Palomas has medically trained emergency response staff on hand 24/7 and in addition there is an Urgent Care clinic less than one mile away. For a more serious issues, Rocky Point does have a hospital.

Yes, if you are age 16 or over you will need a passport or passport card to re-enter the US. For children age 15 and below, a birth certificate official copy is sufficient. Please visit www.getyouhome.gov for details on US immigration requirements. As for entering Mexico, Rocky Point is located within the Mexican border zone therefore no visa or any other travel documents are needed.

Yes, at minimum you need to have Mexican liability coverage in order to drive legally in Mexico. I recommend Baja Bound Mexico Insurance Services, which can be purchased online.

On the US side, there is a border patrol checkpoint where they will ask if you have any weapons or large amounts of cash. Do not attempt to take any firearms into Mexico! Then you proceed to the Mexican immigration checkpoint—as you drive through, if you get the green light just continue on your way. If you get the red light, pull to the left into one of the inspection booths where the agent will ask some questions and may inspect your vehicle contents

Each condo building has convenient underground parking so you can unload your car close to the elevator that will take you to your condo. Additionally, you can take comfort knowing that your vehicle is parked in a secure shaded area. During checkin, you will be given a parking placard for your vehicle which must be displayed while your vehicle is at Las Palomas.

Generally you are fine to bring normal items with you that you intend to bring back. Laptop computers, tablet PC’s, smartphones etc. are OK. As for food and alcohol, check at http://www.senasica.gob.mx/ to confirm the current regulations. In general, the rules for bringing food/drinks into Mexico are similar to the rules for bringing the same items back into the US…uncooked meats or poultry, or vegetables and fruits, are generally a problem. Up to 1 liter of spirits per vehicle occupant over 21 is OK. If you are bringing motorized vehicles such as watercraft or quads, be sure to have ownership documents with you.

Rocky Point has often been called “Arizona’s Beach”, and due to the very large American population you will find that US$ are generally accepted. Be advised that you may get change back in Mexican pesos however.

We have a large security staff at Las Palomas, ensuring that only legitimate guests or owners gain entrance to the resort property and also to police the pool areas so that any unsafe behavior is stopped.

No!  We have full and direct ownership for our condos at Las Palomas, which follow the “condotel” model.  Meaning that each condo is individually owned and furnished, but the resort offers hotel services including check-in desk, maid service, room service, restaurants, etc. just as you would expect from any 4-star hotel.

In order to rent your condo at Las Palomas, the owner must meet minimum standards for furnishings.  We’ve gone far beyond those minimum standards with the objective of delighting our guests with opulence and comfort during your stay in our beach condos.

Not necessary.  All linens and bath towels are provided.  Daily maid service is included, and while towel reuse is encouraged to save resources you may get fresh towels on demand with no extra charge.  Pool towels are also available for your convenience.

Same as any hotel, there are check-in desks where you get condo electronic key cards, pool towel card, and a resort charge card.  Las Palomas is a guard-gated community; when you first arrive just ask the guard where to find the check-in desk that is most convenient to your condo (there are two desks).

Each condo at Las Palomas has a wired internet connection.  We understand our guests’ need to stay connected during their beach vacation and have therefore added wireless routers in each of our condos. The routers are password-protected to ensure that the bandwidth is dedicated for your use during your stay…the access password is provided prior to your arrival.  Internet service is complimentary, there is no fee charges for access.  Phone service is available but keep in mind that call charges will accrue just as for any hotel (calls within the resort are free).

Las Palomas offers a wide variety of DirectTV channels, mostly English and some Spanish.  All of our condos are 100% equipped with flat panel wall-mounted TV’s for your viewing pleasure.  We also provide DVD players for each TV.

All of our beautiful condos are equipped with Bluetooth stereo systems in the family room.

Unlike other Rocky Point beach resorts which only clean your condo after you leave, Las Palomas provides daily housekeeping services.

Our aim is to keep our condos immaculately maintained so that you can enjoy your beach vacation without any hassles.  In the unlikely event that something goes awry, Las Palomas will move you to a different condo of similar floor plan and location with no extra charge to you.

The only fee that is in addition to what you paid me, is the fully refundable security deposit of $150.00 collected at check-in. At the time of departure, if the condo is in the same condition as when you checked in, the front desk will reverse the security deposit back onto your credit card.

Yes, you can bring any US appliance or electronic device with you and it will work perfectly in our condo.
