Down on the Las Conchas Peninsula, we have been enjoying days in the mid-80s and nights in the high 60s. The sea breeze is light and comfortable. It is a pleasure to sit outside by the pool or soak in the perfect ocean water. Tessoro’s many owners and guests have been celebrating one of the best springs ever in Puerto Peñasco. For anyone stuck in the heat of Phoenix or Tucson, there is only one question . . . Why aren’t you here?

Phoenix has seen 4 consecutive days of over 100 degrees. It is 105 degrees right now in Tucson. It is 15-20 degrees cooler on the beach in Rocky Point.

Many Arizona residents don’t realize the difference in temperature between Phoenix/Tucson and Puerto Peñasco can be so great. In the spring and summer, one of the best ways to get to a more comfortable climate is to head down to the beach. The sea breezes and ocean-side location make for much, much more comfortable days and perfect evenings. In the winter, the beach in Rocky Point is usually warmer by day, offering perfect golf weather. The biggest difference is at night, though, when things can get frosty in AZ. The Sea moderates the climate in Rocky Point, keeping most nights only moderately colder than the days.

There are so many reasons to head down to Puerto Peñasco this time of year. The kids are off of school, the beach beckons, the town just had one of the most vibrant and successful Memorial Day weekends in years, Rocky Point’s beach houses and condos are world class, and the Mexican food and fresh fish and shrimp are always amazing. One of the most important reasons that people miss, is the near perfect weather. Not too hot, not too cool . . . just right.

We look forward to seeing you soon at Tessoro at Las Conchas, Puerto Peñasco’s award-winning beachfront, condominium resort on the Las Conchas Peninsula. There is no better place to own your own beachfront escape and no better time to come enjoy the sea breezes at the new resort everyone is talking about.

Come and Celebrate with Us

This Memorial Day, we continue a proud tradition on the Las Conchas Peninsula. For a third consecutive year, we will gather with family and friends, owners and esteemed guests, to celebrate the official start of Summer.

This year, with the resort delivered and owners living in their beachfront condominium residences, the event will take on a different flavor. We will celebrate together as a new and growing community. Several newer owners will get to know owners who moved in last fall. We will welcome them into the circle of friendship at Tessoro.

Special Tours for Memorial Day. For the many visitors who have been considering a purchase at Tessoro or who have wanted to visit the project that everyone is talking about, there will be an open house all weekend with special tours of the resort. Please stop by any time on Friday through Monday. A Tessoro team member will be ready to greet you. Better still, please call ahead and make your appointment, as we expect a busy weekend. Just dial (602) 476-2396 or email sales@tessoro.com.mx.

There is no more beautiful place in Puerto Peñasco to get together and enjoy Memorial Day weekend. Tessoro’s award winning resort, combined with the natural wonder of the Las Conchas Peninsula, has become Rocky Point’s flagship. It has been our honor to be a point of pride for the community over the past year. As the summer of 2010 begins, Tessoro is better than ever, with a new Onyx sculpture garden, a new the seaside fire pit, the gym and spa open and plenty more to discover. It is a boutique resort in Las Conchas, an island of calm for families and couples, a place for people to explore their new lifestyle. We look forward to seeing you.

As the weather glides from slightly chilly to pleasantly warm, there is nothing better than spending time on the Sea of Cortez in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora (Rocky Point). I can say this with confidence, conviction, and honesty as my wife and I have owned a home in the Las Conchas neighborhood in Rocky point since 1996.

We have travelled extensively on numerous trips in the Baja and other parts of Mexico. We love all of Mexico, but always return to Puerto Peñasco knowing that we indeed are invested in the very best spot in this beautiful country. It offers easy driving access near the U.S. border and a very safe, hard working, and friendly town.

Okay, so then there’s the question of where is the best spot to own in Rocky Point and, once again, I think I can narrow it down. Las Conchas is something special, an exclusive gated community with a rich tradition of American and Canadian residents. The Las Conchas Peninsula is simply the best spot to own and enjoy beachfront real estate. The Tessoro Condominium development is particularly “choice” due to its status as the only beachfront resort in Las Conchas. It offers the privacy of a true family vacation away from the fray on a pristine beach, but is only 10 minutes to town and all the restaurants, shops, and activities that are so quaint and part of the local experience.

Here’s the real attraction for me, though: Tessoro owners are a special, self-selected group. Here you will meet interesting and kind-hearted people with the most amazing life stories and diverse backgrounds. All are so friendly, jovial and inquisitive, with wonderful families. When these amazing Tessoro owners “group up” around the pool or by the seaside hot tub and begin to share life stories, I can see the bonds forming and a community coming together. That is perhaps the most enticing thing about purchasing a beachfront residence at Tessoro. It’s all about the people who love Puerto Peñasco and choose to escape the wall of condos and seek something more, something special.

I know what I am talking about. I myself have enjoyed this experience of living in Las Conchas for 15 years!!!

Please come for a visit!

Tessoro at Las Conchas is open for spring with a whole series of exciting improvements and facilities. Life on the Las Conchas Peninsula just got even better!

Tessoro opened its refined and re-tiled resort pool. With a waterfall, heated main pool and swim-up bar, it is the best place to cool off in town. The infinity-edge views from pool to blue sea are pretty spectacular. The toasty sea-side hot tub, one of the largest in any Rocky Point real estate development, is bubbling and a popular meeting point at sunset.

A new paving-stone path now leads to the full gym and ocean-front Nuevo Temazcal Spa. The gym has new equipment, allowing for cardio with a spectacular beach view. The spa is operating and offering specials for first-time visitors.

The Palapa bar and El Agave Grill are completed and set to open soon. Check in for updates.

Another exciting addition is the Desert Playground, which will offer a whole range of activities on the sandy dunes above the resort pool area. Tessoro will offer beach volley-ball, tetherball, a children’s area with jungle gym, hammocks, a fire pit and much, much more. There are footballs, volleyballs, and other toys available at the front desk.

The spring represents the start of the year for visitors in Las Conchas and Rocky Point (Puerto Peñasco). Tessoro is the first Las Conchas Resort, offering a boutique feel and the finest beachfront residences in Rocky Point. Come visit the Tessoro soon, see all of the improvements, and take a tour of the amazing beachfront lifestyle offerings.

SIMPLY INSANE:  I am not referring to state of mind, but instead taking a look around and appreciating how incredibly fantastic the Las Conchas Peninsula is. I have the joy of waking up each morning in Las Conchas, and each one is treasured.

Right this minute as I write, I am awake early and can’t sleep any more. There is a fog that lingers on the water, and it’s amazingly welcome. The nature captures me. I love it, and can’t imagine going back to bed.

The fog rolling over the Sea of Cortez is not something you see often, with so many days of endless sun, so I greet these subtle changes with enthusiasm. The east side of Puerto Peñasco, and in particular Las Conchas, is something that is appreciated by all who know it.  I have known it for 20 years, as I have a beachfront house in Las Conchas just down the way from Tessoro, and I love it.

I can only imagine the feeling that those who are living at Tessoro would feel this minute!  Incredible if they are
up.

Tessoro is truly the only location in town that
has the secluded, non-busy, and total package that puts owners into a place that in this uniquely relaxing . . .  it’s just hard to describe.  I live it every day and I know that in one visit you will find it difficult to not love it like I do. Tessoro means “Treasure” and indeed this project is a treasure. Whatever you may have for plans to visit Rocky Point, please make the time to visit us on the Las Conchas Peninsula and you will not be disappointed.

A lot has been made of Tessoro’s internet technology. The developers have taken pride in giving Tessoro owners a level of connectivity no other development could dream of. The Rocky Point Times recently highlighted the new trails blazed by Tessoro at Las Conchas in the internet and technology realm.

So how good is Tessoro’s internet? Last weekend, the owner of Diamond Residence 501 and his guest wandered down to the Palapa with their laptop, opened the ESPN web site and watched the Kentucky-LSU basketball game streaming live over the internet using only the public Wi-Fi connection. Wow!

In case you were wondering, Kentucky walloped LSU 81-55 at LSU. But what is more important is that a Tessoro owner, and Kentucky fan, was able to spend the weekend with his wife and kids in Mexico and not miss a thing. Technology is so important in choosing your vacation home.

All Tessoro owners enjoy this internet signal in their residences free of charge – it is included in the HOA. On top of that, the common areas and gym enjoy a fast Wi-Fi signal (we are talking make-a-phone-call-with-Skype, watch-a-game-live type of fast). Tessoro has an advanced line-of-sight signal that beams over 16 MB per second of bandwidth to the development.

We all go to a place like the Las Conchas Peninsula to relax, unplug and unwind. But, the reality of the modern workplace and our desire to connect to everything from sports to family and friends while on the road tells us that technology remains important. The ability to connect when we need actually allows us to spend more away from everyday life.

A glace at the email, a quick check of the scores, a fast Facebook note, a bill paid online . . . These are the thinks that allow us to truly relax by that hot tub with a margarita, leaving nothing on our minds but the sound of the sea and the squeal of happy children and grandchildren.

Last weekend, two of my brothers were in town and the three of us had fun playing bocce ball on the beach, watching the Texas/Alabama game at Capone’s, and playing shuffle board at the Black Dog. Rocky Point has for years been a great source of family bonding for my extended clan!

As usual, the weather has been “just right,” with only one windy day out the eight thus far and the rest of them calm and warm. Sort of competes with a Salt Lake Winter rather well. I’ve witnessed some spectacular sunrises all week long; Puerto Peñasco certainly does produce great sunrises as well as their famous sunsets.

I hope to see all of you when you return to town, so please drop by Tessoro any day from 9:00 to 5:00 to see once again where your first-class beachfront condo may await you.

Now I am back in Rocky Point focusing on Tessoro’s lovely real estate offerings for sale. The skies today are clear but on the far horizon you can see many shrimp boats heading in as we are about to get the same weather that Phoenix and Southern California are seeing. We get very little rain here in Puerto Peñasco, so when we do it is great. Because of the moon’s cycle we are having some dramatic high tide/ low tide swings. We love when we see such tides and a little wind at these times as the Sea of Cortez is really awesome. It brings a bounty of shells to our beach and as I look out the window, one of owners and her son are out collecting shells – that is why they call this beach “Las Conchas.” Yesterday Lanae Johnson’s son was learning how to skim board in the tidal pools by the mouth of the estuary. He was really having a great time and was being coached by some friendly Mexican teenagers who were doing the same thing. There is just so much for everyone to do here.
