Old World Charm : Colorful, hand painted Talavera tiles & accessories, pebbles & shells as design elements, acid etched concrete, bamboo handcrafted doors, original artwork, handcrafted furnishings, thatched roof terrazas-all create an environment of casual elegance with a delightful rustic flair. Open-air living where the natural beauty of the outside touches your inside living space with endless views of the bay, the majestic Sierra Madre mountains, beach and gardens. Stroll thru the village to experience the open-air market, select the fresh catch of the day, pick up fresh tortillas or fresh squeezed juices. Head out to dinner at one of the open-air restaurants amidst lovely courtyards, catch some live music & then head back for lingering conversations over candlelight as the gentle sounds of lapping waves lull you off to dreamland.

Living the Simple Life: Whether you're up for lazy days or 'not so lazy' days, the choice is yours. Head to the beach for a delightfully tranquil environment with little to no traffic. Simply said, it is a natural, undeveloped beach with a touch of the wild thrown in - a perfect place to feel totally by oneself. Or stroll down the beach to one of the local palapa restaurants for an ice cold cerverza & “huachinango entero” (grilled whole red snapper) or through the village to get your favorite homemade ice cream. Visit the local Wednesday tiangi’s (markets), pick out your fresh catch of the day at the fish market, enjoy an evening of live music, dine out at one of many local restaurants, visit art galleries featuring Mexican and Huichol Indian art, and join yoga or Spanish classes. Or choose the favorite sport of simply “doing nothing” with the exception of curling up in a cool cozy spot with your favorite libation to soak up the beauty around you.

Affordable Luxury : Treat yourself to heavenly pampering in the comfort of your vacation home! Manicures, pedicures and facials or 1.5 hours of massage while listening to the ocean waves in the background. And, consider a evening meal prepared by a local Mexican woman admist tikki torches in the gardens overlooking the pool and ocean. Also, freshly prepared guacamole, salsa or ceviche available upon request as daily snacks. Daily maid service included.

Golf: Golf is available at any one of the numerous courses around. From Jack NIcolas designed course, to Tiger Woods and more.
