Sonoran Spa Resort

The locations great. Our condo E309 was not good. Both showers did not work. Appliances and linens are worn and need to be replaced. Management company is poor. Had to demand a water bottle refill. Pool and pool are were good. Will not return.

Cons first: the room was seriously in need of repairs to the flooring here and there, balcony furniture rusty as hell, interior needs repaint, toilet (barely flushes), open pot light above shower (serious shock hazard), kinda hard mattress. Pros: beautiful view from the room (N804), large balcony with plenty of room for table, beautifully maintained pool and grounds, good level of security around the site, secured parking, friendly staff, absolutely fantastic wide sand beach and incredibly warm and clear water. Not crowded or rowdy. Loved the location. Probably the best beach I've seen except for Veradero Beach in Cuba. We've been to beaches all over Hawaii, Mexico, California, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Malta in recent years. This one is pretty incredible. The only downside to this trip was getting pulled over five minutes after the border crossing on a bogus "speeding" infraction. Cop showed me his radar gun that said 68kmh. My cruise control was set at 40kmh. The cop took all my money and left ($100). I wanted to go into town to the police station. He said we could "settle it right here". Ridiculous. But whatever, I guess corruption in Mexico among the cops is still widespread. This is the only thing that would make me pause about returning to Puerto Penasco.

I don’t have enough characters available to tell you how bad unit W102 is at Sonoran Sun. Do not stay here. Let me tell you why. Bad internet, broken chunks of tile in the shower in the master bath not to mention missing drawer knobs on the old, peeling cabinets. One roll of toilet paper. One roll of paper towels. No hand towels in the kitchen, 4 forks available, 1 trash bag, broken tongs, no Tupperware, you did get a coffee pot and filters, but no coffee pot. You could hear the people in the unit above you vividly walking. I have stayed at Sonoran Sun before and will stay there again, but not at W102 The staff at Sonoran Sun are wonderful. Pay a little more and stay in a different unit.
