Why is your business already listed?
See details ▾
For travelers to want to use Best of Rocky Point, the directory needs to be as complete as possible.
That's why I am personally finding, checking and adding businesses throughout Puerto Peñasco. I checked and approved your listing myself so travelers can already discover you.
Why is it free to claim your listing?
See details ▾
Because the directory needs to be accurate.
You know your business better than anyone. Once you claim your listing, you can update your hours, phone, photos and the tags travelers filter by, and add your own words about your place in a section that is yours. Whenever something changes, send the update and we publish it.
An accurate listing helps you, and it makes the entire site better for travelers.
That's why claiming your listing is free.
So how does Best of Rocky Point make money?

This was probably the question I hear the most when I'm in town! 😄
Right now, I'm focused on building the site, creating content and getting businesses involved.
In the future, verified businesses will have OPTIONAL paid services available, such as photo and video galleries, video and content production, designed one-sheets and websites.
But none of those things will ever be required.
I can also help you with a new website for your business if you are interested.
Category order and “Best Of” rankings
See details ▾
Category order shows verified (owner-claimed) listings with pictures first, verified with no pictures second, not verified but has pictures third, and everything else after that. Within each of those groups, the display order of the listings rotates, so all businesses are equally represented within their tier.
To make sure you are in the top rotating chunk, all you have to do is be verified and have a photo.
Paying Best of Rocky Point for enhanced page features or videos will NEVER decide who is named "Best Of," and will never move a business up in the directory.
Businesses can pay us for a richer page. They cannot pay us to call them the best.
We name “Best Of” for categories every year in January based on a combination of factors, including our personal experiences, travelers' nominations on the website, reviews, and more.
Every month we will also have a new mini “Best Of” that is more specific than a whole category. Like: “Who has the best shrimp tacos?”. We try some places and take traveler nominations and name a winner. If we get enough feedback on one we already did, that it needs to be tested again, we schedule it for another run and try more places.
It all starts with claiming your free listing here:
