28 TESTIMONIALS "We've been to many Mexican resort communities, however, on a recent trip to Tulum we were truly impressed by the region's overall simplicity, and hope that the area will stay as natural as possible. As we love to travel, learn about different cultures and people's way of life we really appreciate that Tao is being built with a concern for the environment; as well as with an emphasis and focus on eco-development LASZLO HORVARTH, California, USA. "I had initially never considered Mexico as a real estate investment option, however I thought, 'why not go down and at least have a nice vacation'. But when I arrived, I was blown away and surprised by Riviera Maya's beauty.and really surprised by the quality of the development This is my second trip to Mexico and at the end of my stay, I decided to buy a condo." LANE WILSON, British Columbia, CANADA.

TESTIMONIALS My husband Grant and I have been looking at property in Mexico for the past 2 or 3 years. We have looked at houses, condos and lots to build on.

29 TESTIMONIALS My husband Grant and I have been looking at property in Mexico for the past 2 or 3 years. We have looked at houses, condos and lots to build on. We have considered renting and owning, part time and full time, on the ocean and in the mountains. We even created a spreadsheet with our list of needs and desires ranked and sorted. But when we visited Puerto Bahia Villas and Spas we instantly felt this was the right place for us both as an investment opportunity and as a home. Everything that was most important on our list - especially that amazing ocean view we found at Puerto Bahia at a price that was extremely reasonable. So we didn t just buy a lot we bought 2! One to build our dream home on and the other to use as an investment. We are convinced that not only is Puerto Bahia a great place to live, but that property values in this area will certainly increase as more people choose to live here on beautiful Banderas Bay.
