A Unique Beachfront La Cruz Boutique Inn

We w0uld like to cordially invite you to our La Cruz Boutique Inn beachfront paradise on the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico, Villa Amor del Mar.
When Cat asked me to write an article about our hotelito (little hotel), our La Cruz Boutique Inn, Villa Amor del Mar and states that it must be original content a little piece of me kinda freaks out. How can I be original when I write two blogs, consistently write new ads, etc?
This week reminded me; however, of the value of being unique. At our La Cruz Boutique Inn, Villa Amor del Mar, we take great pride in serving others and creating custom packages for each visitor as per their requests. Continental breakfast is served daily in private guestrooms with Mexican, freshly roasted coffee, fruit (often from our own trees) and special requests as per each guest.

When guests book for 7 days or more they also receive one brunch by the pool and one dinner on the rooftop. An almost La Cruz all inclusive vacation package!

Preparing and sharing meals, music and laughter with others has always been a passion of mine, to combine that ‘hobby’ with running a Boutique Inn has brought me more joy than I knew possible. Over the past few weeks we’ve helped our guests enjoy; Gourmet dinners combined with Flamenco music at both Masala and The Black Forest restaurants had our guests singing the praises of both.
Fun at Philo’s is always a highlight and everyone loves the ribs! Tacos on the street and open mic at Britannia appeals to everyone. The best whale watching/sunset cruise in the Bay of Banderas, in my opinion, Red Dolphin Sailing charters delights everyone who takes this excursion.We hosted a wine and food pairing on our rooftop overlooking Banderas Bay enjoying the sunset, fireworks and the twinkly lights of Vallarta.

For more information on our ‘Introduction to La Cruz’ program, here is the info: http://innandaroundlacruz.com/introduction-to-la-cruz-promotion/ In May we’re bringing in a local Mexican chef and creating a foodie week. Consider this when you are here for your visit. http://waldentoursculinaryandwine.wordpress.com/la-cruz-culinary-experience/

We’re currently putting together a women’s week of inspiration at our La Cruz Boutique Inn called ‘Refresh’ and a La Cruz Couples Retreat where people can recommit and reconnect! Please email me at info@VillaAmorDelMar.com if this interests you and indicate what month you’d prefer. Guests have been blown away by the privacy and comfort of our La Cruz beachfront rental and La Cruz Boutique Inn, Villa Amor del Mar, along with the ease of getting around and many options for fun in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle. All of our toys are also included with your stay with us. Its all up to you! The Bay of Banderas and the whales performing as guests sip their coffee in the morning is always a highlight! Enchanted by the magic our little Mexican pueblo keeps guests returning and is the reason Chris and I (Cindy) do what we do. Let us share all that is La Cruz Mexico with you.

Banderas Bay Entertainment on the Riviera Nayarit

 Bucerias, Play  No Responses »

The Best of Banderas Bay Entertainment

During the high season you can find about any type of music that is known to mankind on the Banderas Bay Entertainment / Puerto Vallarta scene in Mexico Every pueblo on the Riviera Nayarit has a different flavor, with music festivals, the town festivals, and all at different months during the season. Bars and restaurants love to have live entertainment to persuade you to come and eat at their restaurants..and why not?! Some have a cover, some do not. Some are beachfront and outside, some are not.  Its a great way to explore some good food and fun entertainment.
One  fun addition this season for great Bucerias entertainment is at the Luna Lounge. They have created a One Time Only Friday Cabaret show and have  well known celebrities and impersonators come from all over for a one time show, instead of the regular weekly gig.
Their next show is to celebrate Elvis …ELVIS IS IN THE HOUSE! On January 10th. You can check the Bucerias community calendar for all the Luna Lounge events (like the Tuesday’s Crazy Bitches Drag Show) and the special one time Friday’s show as well as other Bucerias fun and events, or click here to make a reservation or get more information.


Well Known Musicians for Banderas Bay Entertainment
There are several well known musicians that reside here during the winter season. One of my favorites is Bryan Savage.  Bryan has played his saxophone and flute to audiences in the U.S., Europe, Japan, and Canada with Al Stewart, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Amazing Rhythm Aces and John Denver. He has opened for Bonnie Raitt, Mick Fleetwood, Santana, Glen Frey, Eddie Money, Journey, Gary Burton, Rick Braun, Chuck Mangione, just to name a few! He also has a new CD out. You can catch him playing with another well known musician Chas Eller (keyboard extraordinaire) and the AllStar Jazz Band at the Paradise Theater, (200 pesos not including dinner I believe) or out by the pool at Los Arroyos Verdes on January 19, 2014 cost 200 pesos includes the pool pass, lunch and a couple of drinks…
(a smoking deal!). Also catch him every Tuesday in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle (just past Bucerias towards Punta de Mita) at Oso’s Oyster Bar and Fish Market on the La Cruz Marina, no cover charge! If you don’t feel like driving, stay at the fabulous
Villa Amor del Mar Boutique Hotel, located on the playa overlooking the La Cruz Marina. Chris and Cindy are amazing hosts, and have all sorts of fun package deals as well!

Who is Luna Rumba Anyways??

I keep getting asked this question, WHO IS LUNA RUMBA?? which amazes me! How could one not have heard about Luna Rumba??? They are fantastic!!
A hot Latin based band on the Banderas Bay entertainment scene this season is Luna Rumba performing Latin, flamenco, Middle Eastern, Celtic riffs and Cuban rhythms.  They have a very interesting story, and most folks that have heard of them know them from La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, where the music for their first CD was created, and Luna Rumba was born.
They recently played at Breakers to a packed house Dec. 28th, for a Sunset concert .hahaha..with the rainy weather there was a tiny sun way out there, however no one cared; (their last no admission concert) and will also be performing at the Paradise Stage Community Center this season starting in January with their first show on January 16th, tickets;  200 pesos. You can also catch them at the Taste of La Cruz on January 10th,  at the La Cruz Marina Malecon for 100 pesos per person, and enjoy delicious foods from Banderas Bay restaurants. Cheko can be found at Los Arroyos Verdes playing his guitar and singing for fun Sundays by the Pool as well on January 12th and January 26th, 2014. Click here for Concert Dates. 

It all started with a Canadian musician Geo Urich who sailed into the small port of Zihuatanejo, Mexico. A new friend introduced him to Cheko Ruiz, a talented singer and song writer from Mexico City.  It is said, that after a jam session one afternoon at Rick’s Bar, they continued to play together creating original music which started an enthusiastic following.  After playing together for only two weeks, they were asked to play for the International Guitar Festival musician’s welcome dinner. They went their separate ways after that, promising to play together in the future. Who knew!!!

Bringing you up to date three years later, in 2012, Cheko (right) Ruiz and Geo Uhrich (left) got together in La Cruz, where Geo was docked  and started writing and rehearsing / recording songs for what was to become Luna Rumba.  During this time they met up with Chas Eller who plays keyboards on the album and drummer / percussion whiz Carlos Mancilla, and a few other great musicians to round out the sounds. The end result was a world-class CD with 11 original songs.

Already Winning Awards….
In March 2013 they were notified that the song “Vamoa  Rumbear” that Cheko wrote, which Geo had submitted to the John Leno Songwriting Contest, won finalist in the World Music Category out of thousands of entrants. Another song on the CD entitled “Espirtu Amor” (my favorite) written by Geo placed second in the world in the instrumental category for the USA International Songwriting Contest. They are on their way to win a  Latin Grammy!

Luna Rumba prides themselves playing every concert live. (Not everyone does!) Their real acoustic rhythms,  (meaning not pre-recorded), violin and guitar leads; with Cheko on guitar with his amazing vocals will absolutely melt your soul.
Geo is on violin, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar, along with other amazing musicians like Carlos on percussion excite everyone and bring them to their feet to dance!

With Luna Rumba, real acoustic instruments meet with electronic wizardry to create layers and depths of sound that will amaze you. Check out the Banderas Bay entertainment with live music on the Riviera Nayarit, and look for Luna Rumba Band!

Banderas Bay entertainment has a lot to offer on the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico.

Riviera Nayarit Properties for Sale in Mexico

There are many who would very much like to purchase  Riviera Nayarit  properties and Real Estate in Mexico today. Riviera Nayarit properties are not particularly difficult to find, but there are issues such as having the land you buy being titled. However, the economy in Mexico at this present time is rising, and that means that Mexico real estate investment has not seen a better opportunity to start hunting for homes on the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico.

The most ideal place to begin your search for Riviera Nayarit properties and real estate investment is to look at local companies listed on the internet. It has been estimated that as much as 90 percent of all homes purchased in Mexico were bought by those who began a search on the internet to look at where the Riviera Nayarit properties  are, and what it the property looks like. Usually these searches were followed up by personal visits to the property. When you physically go and look at any Riviera Nayarit properties, it is important to go in the summer season when the rains are heavy to make sure the Mexico property you are looking at is not under water, as it rains heavily almost daily during the summer months, and is dry as a bone from the end of October until May! This is also for properties with their own well systems. Wells can dry up towards the end of the Winter season, April and May, until the rains start. So, depending on what type of property your looking at it may be important to look at these issues.

Many buy Riviera Nayarit property, or homes in Mexico as a second home in paradise. There are also those that will want to purchase Riviera Nayarit properties  in Mexico so that they have  real estate for investment. If you buy Riviera Nayarit properties now on the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico, the land value may well increase in years to come and you could see your profits rise sharply to the point where you money could even double in years to come. The Riviera Nayarit government is putting a ton of money into developing the Riviera Nayarit as a vacation paradise, which it already is, and this economy, continues to grow.

It is worth knowing, however, that real estate and the way property selling Riviera Nayarit properties works in Mexico are very different to that of the USA and Canada. It is very important to find educated Riviera Nayarit Realtors that know the”ropes” of purchasing Riviera Nayarit properties and real estate.

In 2007 the housing bubble in the USA burst. This had a knock on effect across much of the western world. Mexico has not had escalating price rises in the last decade so there is always a good chance house prices could raise steadily over the forthcoming years, as the Riviera Nayarit and other parts of Mexico are becoming quite a popular place to relocate.

Some of the ways in which Mexico real estate investment and purchasing Riviera Nayarit properties works has similarities to the way it works within the US. A real estate agent or property agent will assist the buyer in purchasing a home in Mexico. Some of the paperwork is also very similar such as the title deeds. It is important to make sure your property is titled in Mexico. Anyone can be a realtor in Mexico, and because this is not yet regulated, it is best to find someone who has been selling real estate, and knows their way around Mexican Laws, and property rights. Again, finding an educated Riviera Nayarit Realtor is very important. There are a lot of scammers out there, so do your homework!  Across Canada and the States those who are looking for homes in Mexico are increasingly turning to the professional services of Riviera Nayarit Realtors to help with the smooth and trouble free transition of funds and property purchases on the Riviera Nayarit and surrounding areas in Mexico. These educated professionals will actually make your Riviera Nayarit properties purchase fun, and that says a lot!

Riviera Nayarit Real Estate in Mexico

Buying  Mexico Real Estate on the Riviera Nayarit

In a world that’s experienced some drastic economic swings recently, it’s refreshing to see the Mexico real estate market remaining relatively stable on the Riviera Nayarit.  In fact,  as I was talking to Aaron Fisher, the project manager of the Royal Club Real Estate; he had some ideas of whats up  for the Riviera Nayarit Real Estate market., and he says there has never been a better time to buy in Mexico than right now. “The exchange rate on the dollar is excellent and we continue to see record-breaking development and investment.”

Its important to get some education and information about real estate investment opportunities in Mexico. This allows folks to safely and profitably invest in the finest beachfront, ocean-view land and resort developments the country has to offer. Fisher lives here all year around and knows the layout of the Riviera Nayarit and surrounding areas. It is a good idea go visit the Riviera Nayarit real estate in the summer months to check out your property interest in the rainy season. Many have purchased a home in the fall, only to discover themselves in several feet of water in the rainy season during the summer months!

“Mexico is the seventh most-visited tourist destination in the world,” he explains. “By 2013, it’s estimated it will be the world’s second fastest-growing destination. Mexico has already claimed 15 per cent of the world tourism market.” Over the last 12 years, banks have begun offering loans to foreigners.  Historically, Mexico has been stringent with its lending policies and has never catered to a sub-prime borrower—the result is a low public sector deficit with increased lending to foreigners looking to purchase in Mexico. This relatively new lending stimulus has started an influx of foreign investment from a completely separate demographic and has insulated the market. Mexico’s doors are now open to low-interest lending, with Canadians and Americans reaping the benefits. There is so much for sale on the Riviera Nayarit. Se Vende!

While the time may be perfect for investment on the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico, Fisher warns buyers to educate themselves. This is one aspect that differs from other Riviera Nayarit Real Estate companies. When buying property, Fisher says,  it is of the highest importance to buy titled property, just as you would back home. All of Fisher’s projects are fully titled–in fact; they provide title insurance to their clients through the largest title insurance company in the world.
Developers, much like any other manufacturers, are of varying quality and experience, and, again, buyers should do their homework.
“When searching for a property, it’s important to establish a price and location suited for yourself, but the primary focus should be due diligence.” Fisher, with Royal Club Real Estate, prides itself on this rule of thumb and understands they must meet the highest of ethical
standards. “We realize that our growth will continue only if we meet these standards.”
Fisher sells La Cruz real estate, Bucerias Real Estate, Sayulita Real Estate and surrounding areas of the Riviera Nayarit. Give him a call, he is happy to talk and share his insightful and educated knowledge on Mexico and the Riviera Nayarit Real Estate.
The company focuses on the educational side of purchasing property in Mexico. They believe an educated buyer is the best buyer.

Discover the Riviera Nayarit for an amazing vacation; Move to Mexico for Life!
