A lot of people of said they still love Mexico but conditions have changed in Mexico that have led them to rethink their trips down. Nothing is wrong with that. You are in Mexico Light so what you experience and/or offer is different than Villa Corona, an off the path location or Real Mexico offer. You don't have to deal with the border crossing hassle that is required to go into Real Mexico. Visiting Rocky Point does not requiring purchasing over priced fuel as most RVs can reach RP with the fuel purchased in USA and return. You don't have any tolls (yet) to RP which nearly doubles your per mile cost of travel into Real Mexico. The road to RP is built to USA standards which is not the norm in the rest of Mexico. Our livelihood is not dependent on the tourist & RVer so we can be very objective. Do hope you have a very profitable season as Mexico needs every successful business and business person it has. It is like the saying, "I love you but I am not in love with you", so the divorce goes forward.

Well said Rocmoc. I too consider Rocky Point a Mexico lite. It only exists primarily for American tourist. Much akin to people that fly in to Cancun spend US dollars, stay in all inclusive resorts, eat Mexican American meals then say they have been to Mexico. No they have been to a resort in Cancun. Drive to Cancun, eat with the locals, shop at the markets with the locals....then you can say you have been to Mexico. Drive to Agua Azul, horseback into the butterfly reserves, pet the whales in Guerrero Negro, buy some silver in Tasco .... Then you will see the beauty of Mexico. I enjoyed it, I miss it, but for many reasons it is no longer worth it for me and many others. A very sad circumstance.
