Retirement in paradise doesn’t just mean tranquil beaches and stunning condos. It’s also about embracing the vibrant lifestyle of Playa del Carmen. In fact, something that seamlessly blends the thrill of golf with the allure of Playa del Carmen’s real estate is the LIV Golf League Mayakoba. This article will give you all the details of this world-class sporting event!
Xcaret Park is perhaps one of the Riviera Maya’s most sought-after tourist attractions. It offers a wide selection of activities that are impossible to see in just one day. From swimming in the ocean, to visiting the massive aquarium, and checking out the butterfly den and seeing the jaguars and panthers, it has everything for a fun day-trip for the family. It is the size of over 40 football fields and has all types of water activities on offer. However, its most popular attraction is the Mexico Espectacular show they put on at the end of the day.
The owners of Xcaret, however, have not just stopped at that. In total, they have opened six parks and one archeological tour. They are Xcaret, Xel Ha, Xplor (and Xplor Fuego), Xichen, Xenotes, Xoximilco, and Xenses. At the moment, their seventh park, Xavage by Xcaret, is under construction and is due to open in December 2018. For three years in a row now, Xcaret has received the Best International Theme Park Award by American travel companies, making it one of the most important Mexican-owned companies in the world.
The new park, according to Experiencias Xcaret General Director, Miguel Quintana Pali, is a whole lot of new extreme. It will be located right next to Xoximilco near the Cancun International Airport. The 25-million USD investment is going towards the implementation of a mountain and a fast white-water river to make the park one of the most exciting to experience.
Moreover, the group is now preparing to add yet another park to their portfolio. Authorities have recently approved a full-blown water park called Suut Há Water Park by Experiencias Xcaret. The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources permitted the construction for the park in March of the upcoming year. Their goal for the water park features a 40-meter high slide, many swimming pools, canals, and lush green areas with a capacity of over two hectares.
The water park will be located near their Xplor Park in Playa del Carmen and is set to cost approximately 1 billion Mexican pesos. It will create close to 200 new jobs. The Riviera Maya offers plenty of activities to enjoy their natural resources. But missing out on any one of the Xcaret adventure parks is a mistake. Especially for those that live in the Riviera Maya!

We usually don’t think of a mall as a community center or defining a specific community. Yet, Centro Maya in Playa del Carmen most certainly does define the new community sprouting up around it. Real estate buyers will do well to consider this community, for the following reasons:

A nice, wide boulevard offers direct access past the mall and into the community.

When possible, we try to buy our DIY materials and equipment in local shops, but sometimes we couldn’t find what we needed or the selection was limited; so we were forced to go to Cancun to get whatever we needed.
As I have said before, living in Playa del Carmen can spoil you. It sounds terrible when you have to say to your family or friends living overseas, ”Oh well, my weekend was ruined I had to go to Cancun!!”
Anyways, we were excited to see a Home Depot being opened here in Playa del Carmen, on the corner of Carretera Federal and Luis Donaldo Colosio. This is the 109th store opened in Mexico, the second in Quintana Roo. It brings 100 new jobs that benefits local families.
We are sure both professional builders and weekend DYI -ers are excited to have this store in our city. Home Depot offers all sorts of products and materials to build, remodel or decorate your Playa Del Carmen Property.
The governor Roberto Borge Angulo leaded the official traditional “board-cutting ceremony”, surrounded by government officials, suppliers, customers and the general community. After the ceremony The Home Depot donated 100,000 pesos in construction materials to the local branch of “Save The Children”, to help kids in need.
The store looks like any other Home Depot in North America; however it is interesting to see the differences in products that are available. Also, most of the Mexico real estate properties are sold missing closets, kitchens and appliances so Home Depot offers a huge section of products to furnish these areas.
Expect a highly knowledgeable staff that speaks Spanish, there is also some English speaking staff members that can help you to find the right product for your home. Since it is hurricane season, it is a good opportunity to buy materials to weatherproof your home: seals for doors and windows, sealing paint or cool roof coating.
Visit our local Home Depot to find everything you need to remodel or decorate your dream home.
