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. For quality real estate in Riviera Nayarit, Villa La Estancia is the top choice. Located on the best beach in Nuevo Vallarta, we have a limited number of beachfront residences for sale.

PV Cultural Event Alert: “The Spirit of Frida”

Did you know that one of Mexico’s most iconic artists is Frida Kahlo? Kahlo was a talented and eccentric painter best known for her nature inspired art that also paid homage to Mexico’s artifacts. Villa La Estancia homeowners should head south to Puerto Vallarta on Saturday, November 1st from 9 am to 3pm to attend an interpretive exhibit celebrating Frida Kahlo at the Vallarta Botanical Gardens. The exhibition will contain works from local and international artists. The daily entrance fee into the Vallarta Botanical Gardens is just 200 pesos, and is one of Puerto Vallarta’s top attractions for visitors and locals alike. Are you a Villa La Estancia resident looking for something fun to do? If so, continue to read below about the inspiring Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, and make sure to attend the “Spirit of Frida” at the Vallarta Botanical Gardens on November 1st.

Frida Kahlo: Master Painter & Mexican Icon

Kahlo was a skilled painter that is best known for her many portraits and self-portraits that were Inspired by Mexico’s popular culture and folk art. Through her art, she was able to question identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society. has Often described as a surrealist or magical realist, many of her paintings contain strong autobiographical elements. A master at mixing realism with fantastical elements, she was also involved in the post-revolutionary Mexicayotl movement that sought to create a Mexican identity.

The Early Life of Frida Kahlo

Born to a German father and Mexican mestiza mother, Kahlo spent most of her childhood and adult life at La Casa Azul, her family home in the neighborhood of Coyoacán in Mexico City. Today, the Frida Kahlo Museum is found in her childhood home that visitors love to explore and learn more about this incredible artist’s life. Kahlo was disabled by polio as a child, but was very intelligent and intended to go to medical school until a traffic accident at age eighteen. Her injuries were severe and contributed to serious pain and continued health issues. While she recovered from the accident, she started painting again and her passion for art was reignited.

Artistic Development and Diego Rivera

Kahlo joined the Mexican Communist Party in 1927 where she met fellow Mexican artist Diego Rivera. The two quickly fell in love and married a year later in 1928. They spent the late 1920’s and early 1930’s travelling throughout Mexico and the United States as Kahlo continued to paint and develop her artistic style. Inspired by Mexican folk culture, the majority of her paintings were small self-portraits that blended pre-Columbian and Catholic beliefs. Kahlo’s first solo exhibition was held in 1938 in New York at the Julien Levy Gallery thanks to the support of surrealist artist André Breton who was impressed by her talent.

Kahlo Recognized by Art Historians

Kahlo’s fame as an artist didn’t occur until the late 1970’s when her work drew the attention of art historians and political activists. Later, in the early 1990’s she had become an important figure in art history and icon for Chicanos, feminists and the LGBT movement. Kahlo’s work is celebrated internationally as a unique representation of Mexican national and indigenous traditions that art lovers appreciate and admire. Many people say that Kahlo’s depiction of the female experience and form is truly genius.

Villa La Estancia residents in Riviera Nayarit should clear their schedule to head to the Vallarta Botanical Gardens on Saturday, Nov. 1st. Come celebrate the work and life of Frida Kahlo, and spend a day enjoying the beauty of the Vallarta Botanical Gardens. The Vallarta Botanical Gardens have numerous observation trails to explore as well, the most visited public orchid collection in Mexico, and is home to a vast diversity of Mexican plant species. Villa La Estancia homeowners should not miss the “Spirit of Frida”, an exciting cultural event at the Vallarta Botanical Gardens on November 1st.

It is easy to see why Puerto Vallarta is a top vacation destination and has a large expat community as well. Next time your find yourself in Puerto Vallarta on vacation, or if you live in Riviera Nayarit at Villa La Estancia, we recommend you take a day trip to Sayulita, a “Pueblo Magico” town just 45 minutes north of town.

A day trip from PV to Sayulita will surely be a great way to enjoy the best of Mexico. Keep reading below to find out more about Sayulita, a Pueblo Magico that you have to see for yourself.

Sayulita is a Pueblo Magico

Sayulita is situated on the Pacific Coast of Mexico about 45 minutes of Puerto Vallarta, and only about a half hour north of Villa La Estancia in Riviera Nayarit. Sayulita is popular with surfers and vacationers who are mesmerized by the town’s relaxed vibe and tons of great shops, restaurants and bars. Sayulita was designated as a Pueblo Magico (which means “Magic Town” in English) back in September 2015. The Mexico Tourism Board decides which towns are worth of this special designation. In order to be declared a Pueblo Magico, they must meet three requirements. To begin with, the architecture should be very pleasing. The balconies, facades, and roofs should all be painted the same color tone chosen from a list of seven approved colors that the National Institute of Anthropology and History selected. Secondly, the town, city, or village should have their own unique cultural identity that shows the traditional history. Last, there should be a village square or one major attraction that stands out above against other towns, cities, and villages.

Popular Beaches in Sayulita

There are a couple popular beaches in Sayulita where visitors will enjoy walking along the beach. Surfers especially love surfing at the beaches in Sayulita which are known for nice swells due to its open ocean location. If you want to go surfing, you can even rent a surfboard for the day right on the beach. If you aren’t a surer, you can try paddle boarding and paddle boards are available for rent on the beach as well. The Sayulita Beach does receive a high volume of visitors, so if you love people watching, you will have a great time. If you prefer a less crowded beach, then you should walk to the Los Muertos Beach. In order to reach Los Muertos Beach, you will need to walk past the yellow Villa Amor hotel, then you will walk up the hill past the graveyard until you reach the tranquil beach. Los Muerto Beach is ideal for swimming, and plan ahead to bring snacks, drinks, and a shade umbrella since there are no stores or restaurants.

Colorful Central Plaza

When you arrive in Sayulita, head to the central plaza that has been vibrantly decorated in colorful huichol art hanging high above the plaza. There is a lovely gazebo in the middle of the plaza that is a great spot for picture taking. Love art? Sayulita has tons of fine art galleries located in and around the plaza. Why not check out locally made Huichol handcrafts or maybe you can find the perfect piece of art for your home. Getting hungry? Sayulita has tons of great restaurants that range from fine dining to casual. If you are in the mood for sushi, pizza, tacos, or a five-course gourmet meal, you will have no trouble satisfying your taste buds. If you have room, try some homemade ice cream for dessert, too.

Summer in Riviera Nayarit

It’s summer in Riviera Nayarit, which means the heat is on! While high season in Banderas Bay and Riviera Nayarit is during the winter months, summer also brings plenty of visitors into the area to enjoy the natural beauty even if it’s a little steamy. Thousands of visitors come to Riviera Nayarit all year long, but if you visit during the summer, you may need some tips on how to handle the heat and humidity that can be quite intense at times. Are you visiting Riviera Nayarit soon for your vacation, or do you already own a second home at Villa La Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta? If you do, then continue to read below for our tips on how to enjoy summer in Riviera Nayarit.

Swimming in the Ocean

When the heat is on in Riviera Nayarit, one of the best ways to stay cool is to go swimming in the ocean. Riviera Nayarit is known for having some of the best beaches in Banderas Bay, and tourists and residents love to enjoy a refreshing dip in the ocean. The beaches in Nuevo Vallarta have wide, sandy shores and there isn’t a ton of shells or rocks like there is in other beaches near Puerto Vallarta. You can also find many restaurants on the beach in Nuevo Vallarta or Bucerias. In the mood for lunch al fresco, or want to sip a refreshing margarita as you take in the incredible ocean views? The options are endless as there are many restaurants to choose from in Riviera Nayarit that are great places to enjoy a nice meal during the day or evening. Bucerias is a quaint town on the beach just north of PV where you can even go horseback riding on the beach for a small fee. Jump in the ocean after your horseback ride to cool off and enjoy summer in Riviera Nayarit that much more.

Enjoy a Morning Hike 

Banderas Bay has some of the best hiking, rivers, and waterfalls in all of Mexico. While the entire region becomes quite dry during the winter months, the summer’s rainy season replenishes the area’s rivers and watering holes. A great way to enjoy summer in Riviera Nayarit is to take an early morning hike before the temperatures rise too high. One of the best hikes in the area is Monkey Mountain, which is found on the way to Higuera Blanca in between Punta Mita and Sayulita. Monkey Mountain is a great hike that the whole family can enjoy. Head out as early as you can as some parts of the hike do not have shade. It will all be worth it though once you read the top of Monkey Mountain and can enjoy impressive panoramic views of Banderas Bay. If you don’t mind heading down into Puerto Vallarta, there is another lovely hike near Palo Maria, which is about 10 minutes south of downtown PV. There you will find a beautiful flowing river during the summer months, and watering holes that are ideal for a refreshing dip. Plan ahead and bring a picnic to enjoy under the huge trees that shade the area. If you don’t mind a bit more of a workout, try to hike inland and you will reach a remarkable waterfall. It is a great spot to swim, dive, and float as you cool down in the refreshing waters.

Chill Out at the VIP Cinema

Another great way to stay cool during the summer in Riviera Nayarit is to enjoy a movie at the new VIP Cinema near Fluvial. Located inside the La Isla Shopping center in the hotel zone, the VIP Cinema features a full menu, drinks, and desserts so that you can enjoy the full VIP experience while you watch the latest blockbuster. Take a seat in the comfy leather recliners, and get comfortable. Peruse the extensive menu and when you are ready to order, simply push the button located at your seat and a waiter will come to take your order. Cash and cards are accepted. After you enjoy your movie, why not take the time to check out some of the amazing shops at La Isla. There are popular brand name and local stores that tourists and residents alike love to visit to find their next favorite outfit. Make sure you check out the turtle sanctuary and koi fish pond on your way out.

During summer in Riviera Nayarit, there are plenty of ways to stay cool so you can enjoy the area all year long. Do you live in Riviera Nayarit or have a second home at Villa La Estancia? If so, swimming in one of the amazing onsite pools on the property, or simply relaxing in the comfort of your air-conditioned private residence are two other great ways to enjoy summer in Riviera Nayarit.

Pre-Construction Real Estate in Mexico: What To Know

It’s easy to see all the major changes that have been happening in Puerto Vallarta within the last five to ten years, especially if you know the Puerto Vallarta area well. Within the past few years, the Old Town and Downtown neighborhoods of Puerto Vallarta have experienced major transformations as developers are building more and more condominiums to meet the demand for people who are relocating to make Puerto Vallarta their new home. With many new construction projects under way, it has surely altered the charming appeal of Old Town, and many people are not very happy about the effect to the authenticity, charm, and ambiance that has been altered. There are more construction units underway and the change is not going anywhere, so the question is should people purchase pre-construction real estate in Mexico? Continue reading below if you would like to know the top tips to buy pre-construction real estate in Mexico to determine if the investment is worth the risk.

Upscale Condominiums
If you take a quick stroll through Old Town Vallarta, you will quickly notice all the new construction buildings being built amongst the charming, older buildings. Many of the new condominiums that are being built come with modern décor, gyms, an infinity pool on the rooftop, and many high end appliances. These high end amenities are fantastic for people who are wanting to purchase a modern condo that still provides access to the Mexican lifestyle they desire. These new condos come with luxurious amenities, and buyers will not have to worry about keeping up with the maintenance and repairs that come with older, out of date condominiums.

Problems to Avoid
One of the major problems that occurs when purchasing a pre-construction Mexican real estate property is that the product is unfinished, which is a huge risk. It has happened more than once when a real estate property in Mexico has had financial issues, which led to the construction being stopped when it was only halfway done, which left many investors upset along with being scammed out of a lot of money. When you purchase pre-construction real estate in Mexico, it comes with this risk and this can occur anywhere, but you can lessen the chance of becoming a victim to real estate scammers or a developer that is dishonest when you know the tips to prevent it.

Reputable Developer
When you are purchasing Mexican real estate, the most important tip is to make sure the developer is reputable. To find out if a developer is reputable, you should look over their qualifications, and to review the properties that they have completed on time. You should always ask the developer for references and then research the developer thoroughly. If you want to protect yourself, then you should always research and do your homework on the developer before you decide to purchase a pre-construction Mexican real estate property. Don’t decide to purchase any pre-construction Mexican real estate before the research has been done even if the developer promises you big discounts or incentives.

Construction Delays and Risks
It is not uncommon with any new construction projects to have delays, especially with real estate in Mexico. Many of the real estate developers in Mexico will include a contingency clause of 3-6 months past the due date of completion so that they have a buffer in case of delays. You should be aware that your construction may not be ready by the due date, so you should make sure that you are prepared for this so you avoid any unwanted stress. When you are dealing with any pre-construction real estate in Mexico, you should try to negotiate with a small down payment so that your initial investment is minimal. Once you have the key and you can move into the completed property, you can finish paying for it then.

Experienced Realtor
Another helpful tip is to always deal with a realtor that is experienced and qualified when you are wanting to purchase pre-construction Mexican real estate. You should look for one that has an outstanding reputation, and one that knows the local real estate market very well. When you choose a realtor that also has experience with pre-construction real estate in Mexico, then it will be a big help when you purchase your property.

Avoid Risk – Buy Completed Real Estate in Mexico
Last, but not least, a risk-free tip is to only purchase a unit from a property that is already completed. You may miss out on discounts that are generally offered on pre-construction Mexican real estate, but it will be worth it in the long run to avoid the unwanted risks and delays that could occur. One of the best real estate in Mexico properties to consider that is fully complete and move-in ready is Villa La Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta. With solid construction, spacious units, high-end furnishings, and finishes as well as beautifully landscaped grounds, Villa La Estancia is a guaranteed solid investment if you want high-quality real estate in Mexico.
