    600 miles roundtrip I thought something would happen!

    Noting that you are a tour guide is an accusation? I thought that was pretty clear?

    It's like a train wreck... Can't keep their eyes off it

    600 miles roundtrip I thought something would happen!

    And you don't find it strange that a real estate investor and tour guide have nothing but great news about RP? Go back & read these peoples past posts & you will see their clear agenda. This works both ways...

    I apologize... It did happen, but was another member that posts a lot here. Huge mistake on my part. I removed it from above.

    If I'm included in this, then you're off base. I just call it how I see it, and in my opinion, this cruise deal is a joke. I don't have a problem with the condos at all, have even considered buying one as an investment. I'll also be staying in a coup later this year (Rocky Point Triathlon in...

    All of this is assuming cruise lines actually show up. Obviously we haven't gotten there yet. Lets take the new international airport for example. They built the thing, and it just sits there. No restaurants, junk sales, taxis, etc because there are no people flying in and out. Same concept here.

    Last time I checked, that subdivision on Sandy Beach "Costa Diamonte"?? had about half of it's lots available... What about all the half finished projects? the place next to Chango's (Hut?), etc... Those can't be purchased?

    Land in and around Sandy Beach isn't exactly tough to come by... The question is, do you think this thing is a benefit and will increase value? I don't see many attractive real estate developments in the immediate vicinity of any home ports that I've been to...

    Stop signs

    Makes sense, couldn't imagine how locals were going to afford that. I'm sure that rate is negotiable like all things down there. $40 seems reasonable.

    Stop signs

    To clarify, are they pulling over everyone, or only American plates?

    Without doing any research, I had a hunch that 500k number was BS. Now I'm certain... The cruise terminal in Los Angeles is barely over 500k passengers per year right now, San Diego half that. And RP is going to hit half a million? The real question should be, how much will it cost to tear the...

    I almost spit out my coffee when I read that 500,000 number... Now that they're dumping rocks in the ocean, what cruise lines have signed up to ship out? I remember reading that Holland America originally had plans 7 years ago, but then backed out. And how are all those people going to get to...

    No doubt it's intended for the people, but please explain how this benefits them long term? Sure you may have some temporary construction jobs, but after that, what? The biggest benefit to the people is more American tourism. Dumping a bunch of rocks into the water isn't going to bring that. If...

    Yes, this is exactly the same thing. "If you build it, they will come" ... Well, maybe with one flight a week, four months out of the year, seven years later

    I'm all for progress too, but I strongly disagree that this is the right way to go about it. For lack of a better phrase, this is like putting lipstick on a pig. You can't build a shiny new cruise terminal when you still have streets lined with trash, unfinished buildings everywhere, etc... Have...

    I'm all for RP growing and generally try to put a positive spin on things. That being said, this project seems like a huge waste of money. I would have much rather seen this money go towards a Sonoyta bypass and road improvements around main parts of town. That would draw tourism, not some...

    Wierd scene coming into Rocky Point today.

    Well this story isn't going to die anytime soon... http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/31/justice/mexican-shootout-fast-and-furious/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

    Forum deterioration is sad

    I've got to agree here. I've spent the better part of the last 5 years telling everyone how great it is, and that violence concerns are overblown and relegated to areas that tourists never see. I can't really defend RP anymore, I can just enjoy my time there are be willing to take anyone down...
