“Truly Magnificent Vacation in every Way!!”
Reviewed October 11, 2011
Excellent, elegant property in an amazing location! EASILY accessible to all Playa del Carmen’s best beaches, restaurants and shopping!! Location, location, and great amenities!!!! This is truly one of the best properties in downtown Playa del Carmen. Our group stayed in a beautifully appointed and decorated 3 bedroom penthouse with terrific ocean views! Everything was just a few steps away, no need for a rental car or taxis!! Excellent service at both the condo and the beach club. Helpful, pleasant concierge service at desk. Fun yoga on the beach with Sam! Our group loved starlit evenings on our rooftop and jacuzzi!!

Retire in Mexico?
Do You Wonder What It Would be like to Retire in Mexico? I live in Chicago, so now that Fall is here and winter is coming I am revisiting what it would be like to retire in Mexico. The Chicago Tribune picked a good time to share the Best Places to Retire in the World, an annual list created by International Living Magazine. For 30 years International Living rated the top foreign countries in the world for American retirees.
Mexico is ranked #2 Best Place in the World to Retire
For more than 30 years International Living Magazine has rated the top foreign countries of American retirees. This year’s list is now out and Mexico has moved from #3 to #2.

Exposing Expedia and their “less desireable” rooms
This past week I was reading reviews on Trip Advisor from people complaining about various properties. They all had one thing in common: they had used Expedia. As a consumer, I like using Expedia because I can see cheap rates for a variety of places. But there’s a down side to the cheaper prices they offer – many to most times you are not getting the property’s best room, in fact you are going to get the least desireable rooms. That’s the way it works.
