My wife, teenage daughter and four year old son stayed at the Senoran Sea resort over Oct. 2nd weekend. We went for the Rocky Point Beachfest to play a little volleyball and enjoy the ocean. The room we reserved (412) was very nice, clean and offered a great view of the ocean. Since this is not a resort with service we had to clean the rooms ourselves. Not an issue with a dishwasher and washer and dryer in the room and taking out the trash is no big deal. We stopped just before the border at a grocery store and picked up food for the week in Ajo(??), which I recommend. I also recommend a company we rented out of Phoenix called Head Out that drove us down and picked us up. It was well worth the price and cheaper than renting a car. Didn't know until the last day but at the front desk you can ask for a container of culligan water and keep in your room in the water stand. I would suggest a room on the ground or first floor. There is an elevator but it's located in the middle of the building and it's a little out of the way and with small children even two floors can be tiring carying them after a long day in the sun. Had no issues while on our vacation in Mexico so don't listen too seriously to CNN. Weather was great and am planning to return next year.

Went with my boyfriend, another couple and another friend and his nephew for the RCPM show which was in the empty lot adjacent to the property. We had a room on the first floor which I was VERY skeptical about but turned out to be one of the best features. Mere steps to the pool! The way that the architect designed the patio spaces was very smart - you can't hear ANYTHING from the other rooms or patios until you step out on to the grass. The little on-site bodega is good for ice cream and sodas but if you are looking to shop for groceries forget about it. Here's how we did it and it worked out great - we landed in Phoenix and immediately went shopping at a huge supermarket, got snacks and booze and some basics (like bottled water!!). There is a swimup pool with awesome tacos. Everything fresh and they make this fantastic guac (not chunky, but thin like a sauce). I highly recommend the happy hour specials too.

Some caveats: There was no maid service for the entire 5 day stay. I did not mind hauling our trash out but (a) I'm pretty low-maintenance and (b) we were on the first floor so it was only steps away to a big communal can where I tossed out our bags. We ended up washing all of the towels at least once since we had no towel refresh. So if you think of it more like a vacation rental house and less a hotel then your expectations will be met and you wont be disappointed. Also it seemed to attract a very "party" crowd at least when we were there, so if you are going for a quiet retreat it might not be the best choice for you. I woudl absolutely return for a trip like we took but if you had very small children or were elderly it might not be your thing.

First off, I've been going to RP for a while now and every time has been pretty good. There are many different resorts you can choose from and I would suggest choosing a different one. The resort isn't too bad but the service is horrible. Lights were VERY irritating to figure out. Some switches went to lights nowhere near the one it was supposed to turn on and light switches ran some of the plugs. (figured that one out when my laptop did NOT charge over night. And once we figured out the switches, 4 bulbs in the room were out. We tried getting them replaced but got no help. Also the swim up bar, which we thought would be a very nice touch to the stay, seemed to always be closed. Not sure what was up with that. The beach is great though. RP has the best beach in my opinion. Very shallow and calm water. But you have that at every resort on the water.

My family and I stayed at the senoran sea it was great I had 109 west great room!!!
I let my daugher get a henna tattoo on the beach my 2 nieces and nephew got them as well. they must have put something in the henna that burned their skin and now they are scared for life its been 3 weeks and the ink is gone but hte tattoo remains. i would definitly go back to the resort and stay in that room but no more shopping on the beach
