Woefully out of date....

Woefully out of date on travel to Mexico in the free zone, lodging AND restaurants. (What more is there?)
Actually, the free Rocky Point Times was better.
Maps, as rough approximations, were useful. Info on jellyfish and Bird Island was useful.
Even the info on the desirability of dollars vs. pesos was out of date! Desperately need a 2007/2008 version.

The book was probably very helpful back in the day. But just like Puerto Penasco itself changes are happening too fast for much to help you navigate the area. We used the book for the basics but made the rest up as we went along. PP is no longer a sleepy fishing village.

i've been to rocky point a bunch of times, but this book enlightened me to a few lesser known places around the town. i would also recommend this book to anyone who hasn't been to rocky point because it contains all of the basics in an easy to read format.

This is a great reference guide to have when you are planning to visit or actually exploring Puerto Penasco. Though I can't say its chapters are particularly well organized you will still enjoy perusing this book - and with some chapters really studying it. The author has a good sense of humor and covers most subjects at an appropriate introductory level. Mary Weil's book is, as far as I know, the only serious guide to this very fun and friendly resort town. In almost 300 pages she covers the important subjects of getting there, shopping, sports, rentals, eating, lodging, safety, customs, history and getting back to the U.S. Many other topics are covered as well including the infamous Crystal Palace (our entire RV party of 14 got a real kick out of her dead pan description). The bottom line is that this book can add some depth to your trip to Puerto Penasco (english: Rocky Point). That will probably translate to more fun and a more productive stay.

I used this book as a guide for a trip in March 2001. It contains a great amount of useful information for Puerto Penasco. This book should be considered essential for a first-time visitor, but even a traveler familiar with the area should find much here that they weren't aware of. An added bonus is the great info on driving into Mexico from the U.S. It was my first time driving across the border and a quick read through the appropriate section in the book made the crossing a lot less stressful. I highly recommend this guide.
