Secluded Sonora Beach Hotel Has Big Plans

Desemboque, one of Sonora’s lesser-known beach getaways is just an hour’s drive south of the bustling tourist resort city of Puerto Peñasco, also known as Rocky Point. And it is now offering more reasons for tourists to stop by for a visit.

The coastal fishing village of Desemboque is a small town with a beautiful beachfront that is rarely crowded, in fact oftentimes visitors find that they have the beach to themselves.

There is one hotel in Desemboque, the Hotel Playa Dorada. Located right on the beach, it has been a favorite for years of visitors looking for a laid-back and secluded beach vacation that is not far from the border.

Those who have visited the Playa Dorada Hotel will remember its longtime owner Irma and the delicious traditional Mexican dishes she prepared.

Last year Irma decided that it was time to retire, and she sold the hotel to two sisters who have big plans for the property. In addition to renovating and adding rooms to the hotel, they plan to add a variety of activities for guests to enjoy.

In addition to fun activities to enjoy on the beach, new entertainment options will include fishing and ecotourism excursions, as well as tours to historical and cultural sites in the region.

I stopped by the Playa Dorada in January, and it already has a fresher, cleaner look. Everyone is excited about their plans for the future, and the beach is still a marvelous place to take a stroll or a swim, and just relax.

We will provide information and updates for the Playa Dorada Desemboque in our monthly newsletter, and you can always visit their website here.
