PV Opens Center for Respiratory Diseases

The Center for Respiratory Diseases has opened in Banderas Bay. The innovative medical facility was quickly constructed in response to the coronavirus and COVID-19 epidemic. Banderas Bay is proud to step up and do its part to keep residents safe. Read more below about the center which is now open to start attending to patients in need.

PV Opens Center for Respiratory Disease

While recent statistics indicate that Mexico has not been as affected as other countries, it is difficult to completely stop the spread of the coronavirus. However, if everyone works together we can reduce the spread and flatten the curve. The first Center for Respiratory Diseases is now open in Banderas Bay. The Center is a safe place to assist sick people with COVID-19 or other respiratory diseases. The center has plenty of ventilators, advanced technology, and top Banderas Bay specialists are available.

Center Was Quickly Constructed

The Center for Respiratory Diseases in Banderas Bay was quickly constructed with the help of local Dr. Amando Joya. He is also the CEO of Grupo Medico Joya, and works with SANMARE Healthcare Group, too. Construction started on March 24th, 2020 and the center opened on April 6th, 2020. Up to eighteen patients can be treated at one time at the center. The new Respiratory Center is situated next to San Javier Hospital in Puerto Vallarta. The opening of the Center of Respiratory Diseases is considered a major milestone for the area. The center includes isolated rooms for patients with intensive care needs.

COVID-19 Stay Safe Tips

The entire world is being affected by the coronavirus and COVID-19 epidemic. In Puerto Vallarta, schools, restaurants, hotels, and many businesses have done their part to temporarily close to help prevent the virus from spreading. In addition, local beaches and boardwalks are off limits to dissuade tourists from traveling to Puerto Vallarta for vacation at this time. In fact, any vehicles that try to enter Puerto Vallarta will be asked to turn around unless they are residents or work in the area. You can improve your odds of staying healthy by practicing safe hygiene. Stay away from anyone that is sick, regularly wash your hands, and only leave your home for essential services. Make sure to take the time to explain the situation and remind your children to do the same as well. Lastly, you can go outside to exercise, but always stay at least 2 meters away from others. While life as we know it has changed, maybe our lives can be better than ever. Together, we can all get through this and come out on top. Do your part to keep our community safe by using proper safety precautions. That way, before we know it, Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit will once again be a great place to vacation or buy a second home.

Here are two reviews of our favorite golf courses in the area.

Pacifico Golf Course – Punta Mita

Jack Nicklaus will surely come to mind when choosing the best golf courses to play at. Jack Nicklaus is a legend when it comes to golf, and he started creating golf courses with his company Nicklaus Design when he retired. The Pacifico Golf Course in Punta Mita, just 30 minutes from Villa La Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta, is one of the best and most outstanding golf courses that Nicklaus and his team have designed so far. The Pacifico Golf Course features 19 holes, 8 oceanfront holes, and 7,014 yards of championship perfection. The “Tail of the Whale” third hole is a distinct component at this golf course and it is situated on a small island, which you can reach only when the tide is low. There are plenty of challenges and breathtaking views at the Pacifico Golf Course, which it perhaps why it has received so many awards.

El Tigre Golf Course – Nuevo Vallarta

Robert Von Hagge’s true passion is designing award winning golf courses, although you may only recognize him as being the Marlboro Man year ago when smoking was considered cool. Robert Von Hagge designed the El Tigre Golf Course, which is a creative masterpiece in Nuevo Vallarta. The El Tigre Golf Course has 18 holes that spans over 7,239 yards and a few of the challenges include lagoons, ponds, and beautiful luscious scenery. With each round of golf your skills will be challenged, and the “beach bunkers” will add extra challenges.

Puerto Vallarta Icons - the New Pier
Destinations, Real Estate, Residences, Riviera Nayarit

Puerto Vallarta Icons – the New Pier

Puerto Vallarta has long been a city of beautiful sights and features, but those who have been frequenting the city for a few years will know just how ramshackle and dilapidated the old Los Muertos Pier was becoming before its renovation in 2011. The modernization of Puerto Vallarta’s pier took place under the care of Architect Jose de Jesus Torres Vega, an esteemed winner of the Biannual Architecture Prize, and was completed in 2013. The old pier was always a centre of activity in Puerto Vallarta, but the new Los Muertos also serves as an aesthetic focal point for the newly refurbished Downtown area of Puerto Vallarta.

Contemporary Design

The design centers around a sail that winds around the very end of the pier and, from some angles, looks like a full sail boat. This sail lights up during the night to produce a colorful and beautiful visual display that can be seen from miles away. This backdrop is a wonderful photo opportunity and makes for a romantic atmosphere during an evening stroll. The pier itself is dotted with benches so that visitors can sit and enjoy the scenery, contemplating the ocean as they do so.

In a stunningly short period of time this pier, like the newly revitalized Malecon, has become an Icon in Puerto Vallarta. You’ll see its striking image in holiday brochures, in paintings and on postcards, but it’s not just a pretty face (so to speak). Los Muertos Pier is also a fully functioning pier from which many an adventure, fishing trip and transport boat leaves. Whether you are taking a sunset cruise, or catching a ride to Las Marietas or Yelapa, it is at Los Muertos Pier that you will find what you are looking for.

Lovers of culture and architecture will definitely want to put a visit to this newly invigorated Puerto Vallarta icon at the top of their ‘to see’ list. It’s likely, however, that you’ll see Los Muertos Pier during your vacation whether you specifically plan to or not. Just be sure that you take the time to admire this pier for what it is; a symbol of Puerto Vallarta’s modernity, growth and charm.

In fact, this coastline provides some of the best fishing worldwide. Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit is no exception; just fifty years ago this whole area was still just a stretch of sleepy fishing villages.
