About this property

Stunning Penthouse on the Water • Jacuzzi • Grill • END UNIT • Amazing Views

Experience Puerto Peñasco like never before in this magnificent 3 bedrooms 4 bathroom million dollar plus penthouse. With 4,000+ square feet of living space (indoor and terrace) and stunning 180º views of the sea of Cortez, you are guaranteed to experience an unforgettable vacation.

Sparing no expense the penthouse includes a private jacuzzi, BBQ, and wet bar on the expansive 1,200 square foot wrap-around private terrace. From the 9th floor you get spectacular panoramic views of the beach and Peñasco (see Old port and city lights to the left, the ocean in front, and sunset views toward Black Mountain to the right). You are so close to the water you could literally spit onto the beach (please don’t do this).

While inside enjoy all of the creature comforts you would expect from this luxurious property including 3 master suites all with full frontal ocean views, four-poster beds (each suite has its own doors to the deck), a Jacuzzi tub in the main master suite, large flat-screen TVs in living room and every bedroom, a wine cooler, Icemaker, bar area, wine rack, upscale furnishings, and marble and granite throughout.

All living areas have 11-foot ceilings and wrap-around 10-foot glass panel doors that provide panoramic views of the ocean.

With only 32 dwellings, the resort is one of the most secluded in Puerto Peñasco, on most days you will have the pool and beach areas to yourself. It offers a massive pool by the ocean with an accompanying very large kiddy pool.

When you are not enjoying the condo you can rent ATVs from across the street for some fun in the sand, go parasailing, fly on an ultra-lite, ride a wave runner, or go horseback riding on the beach. Several restaurants are within 2-3 minutes of the resort and many more shops and restaurants are within a 5-10 minute drive of the resort including Sam’s club and additional grocery stores.

Gorgeous Penthouse and Awesome Location

We have been to Rocky Point several times but absolutely loved the Esmeralda and the penthouse we stayed in. Not only were we right on the beach but also minutes from Wrecked at the Reef and downtown Rocky Point. The penthouse was super clean and accommodated the 5 of us very well. I would definitely stay here again!

Great property that was very clean. Stunning porch and sunset vistas. More chairs would be nice on the porch. We had trouble getting in the property because the entry code was wrong so we had to contact the owner. He picked up immediatly and we got in. He was very friendly. Fantastic! Thank you

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

Staying at this penthouse was nothing short of incredible. The property itself is stunning, with luxurious furnishings, breathtaking views, and every amenity you could possibly need. But what truly sets this place apart is the owner. When we had a flat tire in the middle of nowhere on the side of the road in Mexico, they went above and beyond to assist us, finding a tow truck and ensuring we were safe and sound. Their kindness and generosity turned what could have been a stressful situation into a testament to true hospitality. If you’re looking for a place that offers both elegance and exceptional service, look no further. Five stars all the way!

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY IN THE SUMMER.

Even though the location looks nice and everything the cooling system is very very bad master bedroom. AC was not working, so we had to leave the door open to get some cool air but the rest of the rooms air conditioning unit was registering in the 80s. For the value of the property you expect the cooling system to be amazing. But it’s not. even though Rocky point was amazing we could not escape the heat

Amazing Place

This property is by far one of the best property my family has stayed at in Rocky Point. It was clean and very spacious. The host was very helpful in helping with check in and when we had a question he responded within minutes. The pictures doesn’t do this property justice. Amazing views. I will definitely try to stay here again.

Incredible Property - Will be back!

This condo is AMAZING! The pictures, nice as they are, do not give you the full experience of a wrap around balcony on 3 sides, with sliding glass doors to the balcony from every bedroom, a huge living area, and that VIEW! This condo was perfect for our visit with 6 adults (3 couples, with everything we could possibly need! Our host Boan, was attentive and helpful with any questions we had! The checkin process was super simple, and the property is fabulous! We saw dolphins, fish, crabs, and enjoyed the water every day. There is some construction going on in the 2nd and 3rd towers, but it was never heard in the condo, and never a bother at all on the beach. You can truly relax and do nothing here... OR, if you want to cook this property has the best stocked kitchen we have found! Everything from measuring spoons to mixing bowls, blender, and so much more! There is also an option to have meals delivered, or to have a personal chef! We had meals delivered twice, and both times the food was delicious, the delivery timely, and the chef super friendly! And they even made sure I had a birthday cake (Tres Leches!) to celebrate my birthday... so sweet of our host and the dinner service! I have stayed at a number of resorts in Puerto Penasco in the last 10 years, and to date Las Palomas was my favorite. But now, Esmerelda is the place we will be heading to again and again! I would not think twice before booking this condo. Such a special experience, great beach great host!

Million Dollar View

The Esmeralda Resort property is on a lovely location. The apartment was luxurious with the most stunning view of a blue blue sea and breath taking sunsets of the Sea of Cortez. The wrap around balcony is such an added plus- ideal for a relaxing morning sipping coffee or an evening sunset with a glass of wine. Everything was comfortable and our host was most gracious. We are definitely returning.

First time to Esmeralda

The condo is very spacious and clean. The wrap around patio makes the best views. You literally can see anywhere you want to visit from sunrise to the sunset - just beautiful. You move with the sun across the patio to see it all. We liked that it is at the end f the condos on Sandy Beach which means hardly any people on the beach trying to sell products. Pool is spacious with easy access. Overall enjoyed our stay.

Nice place

Great place for a large family. Super comfortable and nice view. The property needs a few minor repairs like blemished cabinets and a few missing bathroom hardware but nothing that destroyed our vacation. It's on Sandy Beach which is nice. Resort is still being built so there are areas closed off and there is no welcome lobby to the resort yet. For the price it's good if you want space and want everyone to be comfortable, but because of minor repairs needed and construction going on, it did not feel as luxurious as it should.

Disappointing

I will not be staying ever again. Not all of it was terrible, The Good: The location was okay, the view was wonderful, the home with beautifully decorated and it did look like the pictures. The Bad: My bed looked like someone rubbed a glazed donut on it. Boan was quick to send someone from house keeping, however they just put the comforter in a trash bag and left A lot of things didn't work in the room, the AC wouldn't really blow in the room with the 2 beds The direct TV didn't work The remote for apple Tv had the up button stuck. The stove wouldn't turn on I had to pay a fee for having a service dog (in America that would be illegal, I don't know the laws of Mexico) -that one I knew going into and was willing to over look so that's equally on me The resort isn't done being built and construction is underway, so no restaurant or hotel bar (they have a small pool bar very basic and do offer room service) The Nail In The Coffin, at 9pm on Wednesday Sept 22th, I had two people from security knocking on the door telling me I had to let them look around the room. I let them know that I didn't believe them, nor did my grandmother. We let them look around and after they left another man came from security and said we had to let him look around take pictures of the piping and left. I booked this room for my grandmother and my parents, all older people they were scared that it was a scam to see what they had. Ending Thoughts: As an American who works for a company in Rocky Point, I go back and forth from phoenix. I can tell you for the money the standards all around should be higher.

About the host

Hosted by Boan Rubalcava

Host profile image
We are a family who loves Rocky Point. Even though we live in Utah we make it a point to travel to Rocky Point every year and enjoy this amazing, magical place. Some of our most cherished memories of our children growing up have been had in Rocky Point.

Why they chose this property

We wondered what it would be like to have a place like this. In the end when the opportunity came we took it and have never looked back. It is actually one of the nicest places we've ever vacationed in, it has everything our home has and then some. You too will make wonderful memories while here. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

What makes this property unique

This condo has all the finest things one could ask for. Every detail has been thought out. When looking at different places in Rocky point none had the level of quality in construction and luxury as this unit had. We love the jacuzzi on the terrace, at night you can get an amazing view of the moon while enjoying the hot tub. If you have a good pair of binoculars you can see whales in the winter, dolphins year round, the whole place and setting is magical.

We especially like the amazing sunsets during dinner with all the windows open, its like you are on the bridge of a cruise ship overlooking where you are going to steer your ship.
