Let’s start with the good:
The property was clean and beautiful and was extremely affordable.
The not so great:
-The WiFi didn’t work. At all.
-The sheets on the bed were terrible and we spent most of the night putting them back on the mattress.
-the pillows were small and stained.
-The showers didn’t work properly and would only spray half of the water flow.
-The owners didn’t inform me that I would have to pay a $200 deposit at check in that took a week to get back. That’s important information that needs to be communicated PRIOR to arrival.
-I’ve stayed in Rocky point multiple times and have always been given an over abundance of information from the hosts. This was not the case. After inquiring about our late arrival time I was sent a google search about a 10pm curfew. We tried desperately to get to the resort prior to 10pm for this reason and when we realized we wouldn’t make it, we turned around and went home for the night only to go back the next morning and find out that wasn’t actually the case and it was open 24/7. I did attempt to contact the property manager the next morning to make sure we could still check in, via the VRBO app as well as by their personal cell phone they gave me and was ignored on both.
-The listing was no longer available shortly after I booked so I was not able to show my guests where we would be staying. This was extremely nerve wracking and I wasn’t sure we were actually going to have a place to stay until we were given the keys at check in.
-The host also kept telling me the resort would collect my remaining payment at check in. I paid in full and had to confirm that. That would also have been a good time to mention the required deposit.
-Irrelevant information, but in an attempt to find the property and show my family where we were going, I came across a google search and it appears this property is for sale, so I now understand why this experience was much less than I’ve experienced with other hosts. I wish you the best. The hosts were very nice and responsive for the most part, but lacked important information.
We’ve stayed at all of the Sonoran resorts in Rocky Point. This one was by far our least favorite. This has nothing to do with the owners or the individual unit, but the pools were small, full of screaming children and no swim up bar like the others. I’m not sure why it is named “spa”. There is nothing spa like about it. We will stick with the sea and sun going forward.
