Xpu-ha beach is located between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, and offers an excellent balance between a quiet getaway and convenience.  Besides being easy to get to, it has a restaurant with excellent food so the whole family can satisfy the appetite worked up from playing (and relaxing) so hard!

Puerto Morelos Beach - Enjoying a Day at Sea, With the Family

This video focuses on the biggest attraction of Puerto Morelos beach - boating and fishing.  As seen in the video, the Puerto Morelos dock and sheltered harbor offer an ideal, small-town setting to head out on a relaxing little boating or fishing trip.  As the video also shows, this is an activity that is fun for the whole family!

 The town of Puerto Morelos itself is small, quaint and very Mexican!  Visiting this town, you'll never guess that it's only 20 minutes away from Cancun - Mexico's busiest international tourist center.  Out on the Caribbean in your boat, even less so!

Akumal Beach - Nature, Boating & Relaxation (B)

You look around and see boats, people relaxing and lots of nature.  This is Akumal Beach, about 40 minutes south of Playa del Carmen, or about 20 minutes north of Tulum.  The spectacular part of Akumal is that you see tourism everywhere - people going on boat tours to enjoy the Caribbean or dive down to the reef, people snorkeling to see the sea turtles,  going for relaxing walks on the beach, etc.

Yet at the same time, the village atmosphere couldn't be more intact.  Akumal is a rustic village with thatched-roof shops, restaurants and homes.  Life is relaxing in a way that the local Mayan people have known for centuries upon centuries …

Aerial view of Cozumel city

The areal views in this video capture the essential points which distinguish Cozumel real estate from other choices. Cozumel is an island located on the Caribbean coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. You can see the turquoise water of the Caribbean sea, and the wide, white beaches that have helped to make this area famous.

The video first passes over the town itself, where many excellent Mexico home options are available. In town, there are modern services and large international stores to make life convenient. At the north edge of town, there is an international airport – as seen in this video – making arrival to your Cozumel property easy.

Moving north along the beachfront, the video show's Cozumel's lush jungle vegetation, which many residents grow to love and respect, and some even choose homes in environment-focused communities outside of town. This option is balanced by the large condo and hotel resort developments along the island's north-west coast, providing close access to both the beaches and the natural surroundings, while offering a high-quality modern lifestyle.

Bahia Principe, Tulum - Luxury Resort, Splendid Beach, Pure Relaxation

Imagine this combination; staying at a beautiful, luxury resort directly on Tulum's near-perfect beaches.  This is the combination that Bahia Principe offers.  In the video, you can image relaxing in the shade of the thatched roofs, walking in the soft sand, or wading in the warm water.  At these beaches you will find people from all over the world who know what real relaxation is all about!

Besides the beach, at Bahia Principe you can enjoy fine dining, planned activities like snorkeling, diving and kite-boarding (seen in the video,) as well as a full sports complex with space for tennis and soccer, as well as a gym and much more.  There's nothing like spending a day on a resort like this, and, whenever you want, heading down to the beach for pure relaxation.

Tulum Residential Community; closest to Tulum Beaches

In this video, Thomas Lloyd and Malu Guijosa of TOPMexicoRealEstate.com interview two representatives from the developers of Aldea Zama, a leading land development in Tulum. In the interview they touch on issues like distance to the beach, the interconnect with the existing town of Tulum, and the vision of what Aldea Zama will be in the near future.

The interview takes place on the roads and pedestrian area of the future village center, which, as Mar of Aldea Zama points out, will focus on providing services for residents, but will include business to draw tourism and shoppers, adding more variety to the community.

The project offers lots for sale for magnificent presale prices, lots from 360 m2.  Prices are excellent and potential in Tulum is high!

Bob & Trish's Real Estate Tour: Puerto Aventuras

In this video from TOPMexicoRealEstate, Trish and Bob introduce the Puerto Aventuras golf course.  This course stands out as among the choices of Riviera Maya golf course real estate in the fact that the others are professionally designed and very challenging.  This course is only 9 holes and is very relaxed, very, very well maintained – as Bob points out, “not a blade of grass out of place.”

Puerto Aventuras is also unique among Mexico golf course real estate in that it is an upscale gated golf and marina community which also offers full community services, such as a mall, restaurants and small shops.  Beautiful condos and homes are available both on the golf course and overlooking the marina.  This community is a boaters paradise, which is convenient in every way you can imagine.

Colosio Beach - Playa del Carmen's Best Kept Secret - A Walk from Down

How do you keep a beach like this secret, when it's only a walk away from some of the world's most famous tourist beaches in downtown Playa del Carmen?  Perhaps it's because there are no hotels yet, or most people are happy to stay within a more comfortable distance of downtown or their hotel, but in any case, if you take a walk along the wide beaches you see here extending about a mile between two points, you will find a handful of tourists who have discovered this beach and have made it their own little secret, or a few others who enjoy the quieter walk as a couple.

 

A new hotel is going up not too far from where the video was taken; this will bring new activity to the beach, likely making it one of the more famous ones; but if you're looking for the quiet isolation you see here, that hotel is still a few years off for completion, and you can still enjoy it this way for  a while!

Playa Kuka - Why these ecological beachfront lots are good for you

Yucatan property Thomos Lloyd, president of TOPMexicoRealEstate, shares an exciting discovery he has recently made – very large, beautiful ecological lots right on the beach and surrounded by beautiful, untouched nature.  The Community is called Rio Lagartos.  Tom points out 3 main reasons why these lots caught his attention and why he thinks Americans and Canadians will be interested in investing in them:
100 meters (328 feet) of beachfront on each lot – The beaches are beautiful and natural, and each buyer will enjoy private access to this paradise.

Protected Natural Area – They are located in Rio Lagartos protected natural area.  The entire area, including the lots, will be kept natural.  Excellent options are available to build a luxury dream home on these lots that respects the surrounding nature while still offering a very comfortable lifestyle.

Growth Potential – Tourists have already noticed the area, and as tourism in Rio Lagartos grows, so will demand for rental in the nature reserve, and demand for homes.  This points to excellent investment potential.

Interview: Playa Kuká Lot - Yucatan Real Estate

In this video, Thomas Lloyd, president and founder of TOPMexicoRealEstate, interviews Leopold, representing the developer of Playa Kuka, an ecological development on the north coast of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Some of the points which Leopoldo highlights include:

• The lots are located in a biosphere reserve
• Each lot includes 100 meters (326 feet) of beachfront
• This is the real Mexico – the friendly people treat you as neighbors rather than tourists
• The homes will be ecologically friendly and use renewable energy sources

It is also worth noting that the development is located about 3 hours away from Merida and Cancun; while it is isolated in a fairly undiscovered area, it is also close to two major international airports and easy to get to.

Traveling by RV through Campeche

Driving RVs into Mexico has been a common way of vacationing for a long time, but until recently most R.V.ers have focused in the Baja California area; now, as Bob McCain points out in this video, more and more RVs from the U.S. and even from Canada are arriving as far south as Campeche, virtually Mexico's furthest point by land travel, on the Yucatan Peninsula.

The Canadian accompanying Bob McCain in this video, driving the vehicle, points out the coincidence of finding another Canadian couple in a cafe near a lot that he owns, who had traveled from Vancouver, Canada to Campeche for their second year in a row. Bob points out that there is already an RV park owned by an American.

The lots to which the driver refers are a development of 154 lots, with 66 ft of virgin beachfront, available for only $64,900 U.S. In April 2010, only 25 were still available for sale. Like Campeche tourism, Campeche Real Estate is quickly gaining popularity with Americans and Canadians, many of whom chose to Live in Mexico as a more affordable lifestyle in a warmer climate, and are looking for less expensive beachfront properties in a place that also offers excellent services.

The development is located directly within the Rio Lagartos wildlife reserve, and for this reason, it is an ecological development designed to offer a comfortable lifestyle while still respecting, preserving and protecting the vegetation and wildlife.  The lots include 100 meters (over 325 feet) of beachfront!  Living here, you can enjoy beautiful Sunrises and sunsets over the turquoise water, a modern home, integrated with nature, using alternative power.
