You can't beat the views here! The property is well maintained and beautiful. The appliances inside aren't as great, but if you don't want to cook, then it doesn't matter! Boan was immediately responsive when we had trouble with the lock, so that gave us peace of mind. In all, this trip was relaxing and just what our family needed. The ATV rentals just outside of the resort were the most fun!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautifully located corner penthouse. The views are truly exceptional, overlooking the Malecón and offering breathtaking sunsets each evening. One of the most unique features of this property is its location, which allows you to enjoy both sunrise and sunset views from different vantage points. Despite being close to everything, it feels peacefully removed from the noise, creating a relaxing and tranquil atmosphere. Whether enjoying your morning coffee at sunrise or unwinding in the evening as the sun sets over the water, the setting is absolutely unforgettable.
Huge and very spacious. The grill in the patio was great to have! Beautiful condo!

RESPONSE: Thank you for the feedback. I just checked the hot tub and it does work. I wish you had given me a call and we could have shown you how to work it. The work on the pool will be completed this week.

Beautiful and relaxing condo on the Beach
We stayed in A109. It was absolutely amazing and incredibly beautiful. The Condo was very clean, tons of space and so comfortable. We had an amazing view all around us. We couldn't have asked for anything better! 🥰. THE time went by way too quickly! All of the staff employed at Esmeralda Beach Condos are so kind and accommodating. They keep the place immaculate! Pools and grounds were very clean and The Diego Bar was also awesome . The friendly staff, drinks and food was all incredible! Definitely would love to stay again.

Beautiful Condo
Boan is a great host, he is quick to respond to any concerns before even booking and very flexible with the process. The condo itself was beautiful with stunning views, very spacious and easy access to the beach! Would definitely recommend booking with him.
my family and I loved this Penthouse beautiful, comfortable, spacious enough, we had everything we needed like in the bathrooms enough towels, shampoo, soap, the kitchen was very well equipped with everything needed, we would definitely stay there again when we go back to rocky point. Amazing Ocean view. the pools and great gust service. The restaurant bar food and drinks very delicious.
We had a nice time for Friendsgiving here. The property was clean and very roomy with enough space for everyone. We had a total of 10 people and the property was a great size. The grill didn’t work but the property manager was quick to get someone to fix it. The beach was quite peaceful and not crowded since the resort is towards the end. Overall we had a very nice stay!
We had an amazing trip and Boan, the owner was phenomenal. LOVED the team at Diego’s. They made our trip so special Jamelette, Carlos, Roljelio, Antonio and Jonathan and all the bartenders were so sweet and kind to us. By far the best service ever!
We have been to Rocky Point several times but absolutely loved the Esmeralda and the penthouse we stayed in. Not only were we right on the beach but also minutes from Wrecked at the Reef and downtown Rocky Point. The penthouse was super clean and accommodated the 5 of us very well. I would definitely stay here again!
This property is by far one of the best property my family has stayed at in Rocky Point. It was clean and very spacious. The host was very helpful in helping with check in and when we had a question he responded within minutes. The pictures doesn’t do this property justice. Amazing views. I will definitely try to stay here again.

Beautiful penthouse with fabulous views!
The penthouse is absolutely gorgeous with an amazing wrap around patio with spectacular views. We loved watching the sunsets from the patio. The weather was perfect. We had 5 adults and 3 teenagers and had plenty of room. The kitchen and family room area is open and very spacious. We had a great vacation.
The Esmeralda Resort property is on a lovely location. The apartment was luxurious with the most stunning view of a blue blue sea and breath taking sunsets of the Sea of Cortez. The wrap around balcony is such an added plus- ideal for a relaxing morning sipping coffee or an evening sunset with a glass of wine. Everything was comfortable and our host was most gracious. We are definitely returning.
Great property that was very clean. Stunning porch and sunset vistas. More chairs would be nice on the porch. We had trouble getting in the property because the entry code was wrong so we had to contact the owner. He picked up immediatly and we got in. He was very friendly. Fantastic! Thank you
Great place for a large family. Super comfortable and nice view. The property needs a few minor repairs like blemished cabinets and a few missing bathroom hardware but nothing that destroyed our vacation. It's on Sandy Beach which is nice. Resort is still being built so there are areas closed off and there is no welcome lobby to the resort yet. For the price it's good if you want space and want everyone to be comfortable, but because of minor repairs needed and construction going on, it did not feel as luxurious as it should.

Ingrid. Thank you for the feedback. I'm having my carpenter touch up the cabinet doors you are referring to and they'll be in tip top shape for your next visit. I'll also check to make sure all hardware is replaced in the bathrooms as you mentioned. Thanks for letting me know about this.
As far as the resort goes, for the benefit of others reading this review: Although there is some construction in the C tower, it is completely sealed off from the finished areas and it is not anything that most people notice, nor will it dampen anyone's vacation in any way. There is no noise pollution from construction whatsoever.
There is a check-in desk where people can get their bracelets and get a bellhop to help them take things to the condo. It is possible that this guest checked in late when that desk was closed and they got their bracelets at the gate?
Staying at this penthouse was nothing short of incredible. The property itself is stunning, with luxurious furnishings, breathtaking views, and every amenity you could possibly need.
But what truly sets this place apart is the owner. When we had a flat tire in the middle of nowhere on the side of the road in Mexico, they went above and beyond to assist us, finding a tow truck and ensuring we were safe and sound. Their kindness and generosity turned what could have been a stressful situation into a testament to true hospitality.
If you’re looking for a place that offers both elegance and exceptional service, look no further. Five stars all the way!

Unit great, building so so
Penthouse was beautiful! Of note, half the burners on the BBQ worked the first night and did not work the second night. Good thing we did steaks 1st night. Also, since the building is not completed there is no lobby, convenience store or restaurant as is at the Sonoran Sun next door. Hopefully they plan to incorporate these in the final plan. Beds were comfortable, plenty of room for our party of 4 adults and 6 kids.

Thank you for your review and feedback. The grill has given us problems. We had fixed it and it broke down again. IN the process of replacing it altogether. IN the next week or so (by third week in March) it should have a new girl in place.

BEAUTIFUL PENTHOUSE
This penthouse was absolutely gorgeous!! It had everything we needed! We stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday and it was the best Thanksgiving ever!! The owner was very easy to get a hold of for questions and very helpful. Would definitely go back!! The only reason i'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the grill stopped working half way through our stay. The owner did try and have someone fix it but couldn't. Sometimes things just happen that you can't help. Can't wait to go back!!

The heating element on the grill broke and we were unable to find a replacement part in the city of Peñasco. By the time the part arrived the guests had left.

Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location
Disliked: Check-in
Overall, this was a disappointment.Good. Owner was extremely responsive. The views were spectacular. Roomy and clean.Not good. Guard house didn't have our reservation and delayed our check-in. Elevator very slow and small (had to wait for 3 'loads' of people to use it multiple times as I tried to shuttle our stuff up to the unit). Main pool was out of service most of the trip. Work happening outside all night 2 nights. Spectacular wrap-around balcony diminished by chunks of stucco missing. Grill looked rough with burn marks. Control room door wouldn't latch so remained open. The hot tub that convinced me to splurge on this expensive unit didn't work. (Owner tried to get fixed, but needed parts). The old Hitachi TVs very dated. Could never get living room to work. Dishwasher didn't work well. Hall bath faucet didn't work. 'Penthouse' description led me to believe top floor. It's 9 of 14. Not misrepresentation but worth adding to the listing to set expectations. 15 per day for the gym - worth noting in the listing.You are paying for the view, a lot of interior space, and a very responsive, helpful owner. My rating is 100% based on not meeting my expectations. I stay down there a lot and have found comparable views with better accommodations and atmosphere at a much better price. Again, the big balcony, the great views, massive interior, and an owner you can count on to be very responsive may make the price worth it for you. It did not for me.

Thank you for the feedback. I'll address the issues one by one. 1) Main pool is finished. Workers were working to make the area even more beautiful. There are 3 pools. 2) Stucco getting fixed this week. There were a couple of places where the wind had blown off little pieces of it. 3) Grill is clean and operational. 4) Hot tub only got to 89º for this guest, I'm so sorry about that, we got a new heating element and it is being installed this week. 5) TV was checked, and it is operational. It has 2 switches. 6) Dishwasher is being serviced and/or replaced this week. 7) I have no control over the gym. there is a costa associated with it. 8)Door to AC room fixed 9) bathroom faucet fixed.
About the host
Hosted by Boan Rubalcava
We are a family who loves Rocky Point. Even though we live in Utah we make it a point to travel to Rocky Point every year and enjoy this amazing, magical place. Some of our most cherished memories of our children growing up have occurred in Rocky Point. We first stumbled upon this incredible place over 20 years ago. My parents were going to build a house on a lot they had just purchased. We went to rescue them from making a mistake in Mexico and ended up falling in love with Rocky Point. 8 properties later we've made it our quest to share what we have discovered with others.
We are not a large corporation to which you are just a number, we endeavor to help each of our guests have an unforgettable experience, a reason to come back again and again. The locations where we have built/chosen our properties are world-class. Warm beaches, courteous staff, top notch security, and guaranteed sunsets that will make you fall in love too!
We promise to provide you with all the creature comforts you are used to and enjoy a magnificent place.
Why they chose this property
• On the beach • Private Hot Tub • Multiple pools (heated pool) • Pickleball court, basketball court. • Grill • Washer and dryer • TV's in every room • Rent Wave Runners in front, ATVs, banana boats, etc.
What makes this property unique
This condo has all the finest things one could ask for. Every detail has been thought out. When looking at different places in Rocky point none had the level of quality in construction and luxury as this unit had. We love the jacuzzi on the terrace, at night you can get an amazing view of the moon while enjoying the hot tub. If you have a good pair of binoculars you can see whales in the winter, dolphins year round, the whole place and setting is magical.
We especially like the amazing sunsets during dinner with all the windows open, its like you are on the bridge of a cruise ship overlooking where you are going to steer your ship.
