What would encourage you to go to Mexico more often?

Would you go to Rocky Point more often if the:

Border wait times were reduced,

Security were increased, or

some other reason?

Let us know your thoughts!

We entered at Sonoyita on Labor Day, just as a line 4 cars wide and 2 miles long was trying to re-enter the U.S. through that port of entry. It was the world's largest parking lot. Clearly, the U.S. border protection racket is ridiculous, and is going to ruin holiday travel to Mexico for thousands of travelers.

We, on the other hand, had an excellent time at Las Conchas, in a Rocky Point Res rental. The beach was spectacular, the sunsets sublime, the sea wind rejuvenating, the town hospitable. Thank you very much for a perfect getaway.

When we returned to the U.S. several days later, there was no line whatsoever to cross back in.

We had a beautiful trip, the week after labor day. Thank you for an excellent place to enjoy a few days of solitude and incredible surroundings.

When we entered Mexico, the line of cars coming into the U.S. was about 2 miles long, and not moving perceptibly. The border crossing snafu will definitely diminish the tourism business in Mexico, if the feds don't pull their heads out.

Several days later, we did not have any line at all as we re-entered the U.S.

Thank you Rocky Point Res for a wonderful getaway!

My family loves Rocky Point and we cannot get enough of it. Unfortunately, we only get down there once a year, sometimes twice. We have stayed at the Sonoran Spa and Sea many times, always booking our reservations with Rocky Point Reservations. We have never had a problem and would never use another company to book our reservations.

We avoid busy travel times when we go to Mexico, and if we're traveling during fall break, we make sure we're crossing the border into Sonora on a Sunday and crossing back into the US on a Saturday. So, the long border lines are not a problem for us.

We would like to go to RP more often, but we typically choose to go other places where we get free hotel stays with our reward points. I think Rocky Point Reservations could easily persuade us back to RP more than once a year if they offered a points program similar to the large hotel chains, where you earn points for each dollar spent with Rocky Point Reservations (including car insurance or booking excursions through them) that can be used toward free nights at the one of the resorts that they can book. Not only would it lure us back more frequently, but it would give them a market differentiator and an edge over the competition, as I am not aware of any other reservations broker that offers such a program.
