Friendly reminder! Starting June 1st, 2009, all US citizens will need a valid passport or a passport card to re-enter the US from Mexico when traveling by land (passports are always needed when traveling by air). Getting a passport is really easy and will take between 2-4 weeks. You can also expedite your passport for an extra fee. For US re-entry requirements, you can visit our passport page. This year, we are expecting approximately 80,000+ students from Arizona, California, Texas and New Mexico who pour into town to celebrate Spring Break Rocky Point. It's a huge party, and gets bigger every year, and 2010 will be no exception.

- If you need to book a hotel or condo online, click here. Just a heads up, MOST resorts are going to require that you are 25 years old and this policy is strictly enforced. You can get away with more at the hotels, we mean lower age limits of course.... Check out our special SPRING BREAK bookings page which tells you age restrictions at each hotel.

Words of Advice
During Spring Break a whole cottage industry of travel agents, hoteliers, and transport services spring into action to accommodate the thousands of Spring Breakers. The vast majority of these businesses are honest people. Some of them, however, are 100% ripoff artists, like the people that run fake hotel booking scams, or book nonexistent flights and hotels. We can make your Rocky Point reservations for you and take all the guess work out of the equation. We have been online and booking reservations for Spring break Rocky Point since 1990.
For all Spring Break students, we provide the following advice:
- Always book your rooms by credit card - ALWAYS. Never deal in cash or check only.
- Always call and confirm your reservations ahead of time. When you book with us, you will be able to print your confirmation and take it with you.
- Travel in groups, and always have a second line of communication. If you'd like to see if your cellphone works in Puerto Penasco, click here.
- Always do business with reputable, established businesses - beware of 'fly by night' operations. Again, we have been booking Rocky Point Spring break trips since 1990, so play it safe and let us hook you up
As in previous years, the local police really step up their enforcement over Spring Break, and 2009 is no exception - so have a good time, but be on your best behavior, folks. Spring Break tends to suck if you spend it in the drunk tank of a Mexican jail. If you go there to have a good time with your friends and treat everyone with respect, you are left alone to have FUN.
Also - if you're using your credit card while in Mexico, be prepared that your issuing credit card company may add on a nice little 'Currency conversion' fee of about 3 to 4%. Check this Currency conversion costs chart out to see if your bank does, and consider just using cash when you are buying food, drinks, etc. It'll save you in the long run.
Spring Break in Rocky Point is AWESOME! Do not delay in making your reservations, rooms fill-up fast! |
