My wife and I got a deal for $69 total. For 3 days/2 nights, including a dinner and a bottle of wine from DealChicken.com
I've been to RP close to 30 times, but never have ventured towards the Laguna Shores/Black Mtn area. Figured we'd give it a try, and for $23/day...I'm not gonna complain.
Took the highway out towards Laguna Del Mar and Laguna Shores and found the place pretty easily. Pretty cool development. It's almost like they are trying to create their own neighborhood/master planned community....almost like a newer Las Conchas. It has condos, lots, and custom homes. Streets are very wide and are made of pavers. Literally miles of paver roads. Must have taken forever to lay down. The pool area was nice and they had a little cafe too. The place was a ghost town though. There had to be literally like 4 cars there the entire weekend. There was only about 10 homes built and the rest were empty lots. I have no idea how the place stays open. They have to be losing their a$$ BIG TIME.
The dealchicken thing promised that they wouldnt do a timeshare presentation, but it was offered to us. We politely declined. Not once did they mention our free bottle of wine or dinner, nor were any vouchers given for it. They put us up in a 1 bedroom condo. It was nicely furnished but the condo unit was in the very back corner of the development away from everyone and the beach. It was a decent place....definitely in no way compared to any of the Sandy Beach condos like Las Palomas, Bella, SS, or Esmeralda. But like I said....it was $23/day so I'm not complaining at all.
The only thing I didnt like is the tide goes out literally like 2 miles, if not more. You cant get any beach time because the ocean is 2 miles out. We walked out to the ocean the first day and it took us about 25 minutes before we reached the water. I'm not exaggerating. We'd leave every day to go to Sandy Beach to Wrecked and next door to go in the ocean.
If you want peace/quiet and being away from civilization...then Laguna Shores is a great place for you.
My wife and I are still young and enjoy beign around people and the town of RP, so we'll probably never stay there again....but again not because it wasn't a nice place. We just prefer a condo on Sandy Beach.
Tried out the new highway from Laguna to Sandy Beach. Thank God they built this. It's fantastic and saves a lot of time. I didn't even know they put a Pemex station there either!
Overall, had a great weekend. Spent our nights at Wrecked. Love the staff there. Great group of guys. Had dinner at El Capitan. Amazing view.
Mexican Army was there on Saturday and Sunday just hanging out in the Humvees. Rockin' out in aviator sunglasses and just havin' a good time. Waving at all the tourists. Glad they are there.
We'll be back....for our 31st time.
I love Puerto Penasco.
