Rocky Point Anyone? (1 Viewer)

Anyone interested in a trip to Rocky Point, Mexico the first part of next year? I was thinking sometime between late January to early April. Here is some preliminary trip costs for a MONSTER house in Los Conchas that I have stayed at several times. This place is HUGE and yes it will accommodate up to 24 people comfortably in their own bed!!! I believe it is somewhere in the range of 15K to 17K square feet give or take a thousand. Here are some of their pics and their write ups on the place with estimated pricing below. Pricing will fluctuate depending on the people participating.

For 16 people @ a 3 nights stay (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) the price is $295.00. A refundable deposit of $62.50 is included in that price so the trip total would be $232.50 per person.

For 24 people @ a 3 nights stay (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) the price is $251.25. A refundable deposit of $51.05 is included in that price so the trip total would be $200.20 per person

For 16 people @ a 2 nights stay (Friday & Saturday) the price is $223.00. A refundable deposit of $62.50 is included in that price so the trip total would be $160.50 per person.

For 24 people @ a 2 nights stay (Friday, Saturday) the price is $190.00. A refundable deposit of $51.05 is included in that price so the trip total would be $138.95 per person.

I will see if I can dig up some of my personal photos and post them if there is much interest.

If you are interested then post up and lets do this trip. Could be cool to get a CSC group photo of our trucks a top Competition Hill and out back of JJ’s depending on the tide.

Cantinero

PS- On the No Fireworks thing, they are a stickler on that. Las Conchas security tried to have me thrown in jail a few years back.

Depending on the dates - We might be down for this - never been to RP - yet!

The end of March or early April really work best for me. What is the best dates for you Desertdude also how many people?

Furthermore, I want to say this is not just for CSC members, but friends as well.

2 people - hard to pin down a real date ( I am signed up for habitat for humanity Feb March)

a shot for late March sounds kinda good -

Is this primarily hanging around the beach or are we actually wheeling? Most schools are off in mid March for spring break so it may be tought to get the place then. Last year we went the third week of april and it was COLD at night.

I wouldn't say it would be all hanging around the beach. There would be some wheeling out towards Cholla Bay for those who would want to, but most of my wheeling is the dirt roads between the cantinas. Mostly this trip is about what you want to do...afterall it is mexico. I love getting some fire works and lighting them off a top competition hill after wheeling up it, and then heading out to JJ's to finish the evening. I also love a cold beer in my hand and my feet in the sand as well. I love all the cantinas and street taco vendors, I also love haggling with all the merchants over their merchandise and fresh seafood. And when it is all said and done at the end of the day a fire on the beach under a star filled sky and the moon reflecting off the waves pounding the beach and the cool ocean breeze blowing in... That is my little slice of heaven and that is why I go to Mexico.

So to really answer your question about what we would do... I will leave that up to each individual that wants to go. I hand out too many directions in a day as it is to people, I also have too much direction thrown at me in my life, and Mexico for me is about leaving that behind.

San Carlos, I'd think about it... RP, I'd feel like a sell out.. I hate that place, or what I know of it anyway... Isn't San Carlos like 10 times better?

san carlos is ok, not that much better, smaller.. Carlos is way furter away though. you can do rocky point in 4 hours carlos is a all day trip.


I and some friends may be down but it would only work for us if it matched up with our spring break. Our break is differnt then the AZ and south western schools so i dunno. Ill keep lloking back when you guys get a date set.

Here is the info you requested. The house I am talking about is called Villa Del Ensueño. It used to be called La Casablanca, but it sold about a year ago and has been remodled from the looks of some of the photos. It has an ok size bar in it as well as a pool table in the lounge area (or it did). I think that is one area that was remodled from their pictures. It is a very nice place. The casita under the main house in the link I provided is the other half of the house that sleeps 8 additional people. I have been down there with 20 friends and never felt like we were falling over each other. I also agree about San Carlos. It is too far to drive for what you get. I do RP about 8-10 times a year and always have fun. I have gotten to be friends with some of the locals down there and always look forward to hitting the cantinas with them.

the link is "here is the info you requested." Just click on that sentance and it will take you there.

So when is your break and are you interested in going?

Mike is famous for the company he keeps - your going dude and don't forget to bring your "friends"

Ok so our spring break is Mar 18-27. If this was a possiblity I'd prob round up about 8-10 college students ta go? We would fly into Phx and then take a bus down prob. Were all looking to go to mexico for spring break we just havent figured out where yet, so if this was a possibility maybe this could work.
