In episode from www.boomerandseniortravel.tv Debbie and Gaylan continue their vacation to Playa del Carmen and Puerto Adventurous Mexico. Our vacation coincided with a two week Mexican Holiday – Easter / Holy Week and college spring break for the USA. The beach in Playa del Carmen was so crowded that there was barely room to walk along the beach. Walking down the main tourist street “5 Avenue Norte” in Playa del Carmen is must. Order healthy green drink and mixed fajitas at “100% Natural Restaurant.” Our next discovery was the Fish Spa. Let me show you how it feels to have little fish eat the dead skin off your feet. Then, it was onto house hunting in Puerto Adventurous with realtor Mike Martin from Investment Properties Mexico. We ate at the “Mango’s Restaurant” while watching the people swim with the dolphins.

If you are looking for a relaxing vacation destination that feels like you’re in the jungle but very close to the beach with superb service and world class food this is the resort for you. We found this wonderful cabana boutique hotel while looking for a house on or near the beach for sale near Playa del Carmen, Mexico. We went there to see about buying it as a business and retirement location. We felt like we were on House Hunters International. We decided we wanted to retire not take on such a hands on business but oh what a wonderful vacation destination. Here is my review of Coco’s Cabanas. If you get the chance to stay here don’t forget to have a massage on the beach. If you stay in the area stop into eat at their excellent restaurant or sit and chat over a drink at the bar.

What: House Hunting Vacation Destination Coco’s Cabanas Hotel Review
Where: near Playa del Carmen Mexico
Contents: Review of Coco’s Cabanas Boutique hotel Restaurant and Bar. Watch a video review of this wonderful resort that has a relaxed quiet feeling with great service and food.

We loved the weather and the beach vacations we have taken to the Riviera Maya Mexico so much we decided to come back and look at a place to buy so that we can come for longer relaxing vacations. We have been looking online for weeks and talking with real estate agents from different areas of Mexico. We have decided to focus on Cancun, the Riviera Maya and on the beach areas outside of Merida Mexico.

Buying in a foreign country can sound exciting and scary. With all the shows like “International House Hunters” it can seem very glamorous as well.

We have learned that you need to learn the rules and laws involved before you set out so that you know the true costs and legal implications involved.

If you are buying near the beach (in the restricted zone) you can’t own the property. You will buy it in a trust through a bank called a “fideicomisos.” I also believe that you should always use a local attorney to check everything out on your behalf.

The first property that we are going to look at is a small boutique hotel/resort with a restaurant and bar. It is called Coco’s Cabanas. http://www.cocoscabanas.com Retire steps from the beach with a great income too. Sounds intriguing.

We are excited about this adventure. I will continue to blog about it.
