This place was jaw-droppingly amazing!!! I cannot stress enough how great the view of the ocean is. It's close to EVERYTHING including a convenience store for almost any need. Not to mention Senor Frogs being RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. Now this condo is just right for a family or a girls/guys weekend. The pool is fantastic and the beach is well maintained. There is 24 hour security and they are very friendly. If there is something you need and can't get your own hands on it, they will be more than welcome to help you out. Now entertainment is just a hop, skip and a jump away from the condo. About a 5 minute walk in which case the natives will make you feel more than part of the culture selling little trinkets along your stroll. Once you get to the main part of the strip you are amongst the greatest nightclubs/bars Cancun has to offer and you don't have that far to get back to your residence. I would recommend any big family or a group of close friends stay in this condo.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, girls getaway, tourists without a car, adventure seekers.

Our party of 8 had a wonderful time in this amazing condo. It was perfect! The location made it easy to entertain all of us from teenagers to adults. My favorite entertainment . . . comfy lounge chair on the beach or the tanning ledge in the infinity pool. The snack bar staff was very attentive to our needs and provided delicious food and drinks. Ernest met us at the gate and attended to every need (and want) we had! He was 'on call' and answered every question we had. We appreciated his loyalty and attention to us! The security was very effecient. We felt very safe and secure. They even helped my husband recover a camera he left in a taxi after a golf trip! This is the best value out there for larger groups. It is perfect for two families of 4 each like we had. Plenty of space - never felt cramped! Everything we needed was there and more. We've stayed in Cancun and the surrounding areas several times. This is by far the best location and most beautiful property we've experienced. Thank you Leon and Ernest for making our vacation the best ever! BTW . . . the burrito shack right outside the property was great! It was open 24/7 and even delivered. You choose your tortilla, filling, etc. Even breakfast burritos! We gave them quite a bit of business :)Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway, tourists without a car, adventure seekers.

we were there for a girl's getaway/Bachelorette trip! We stayed there almost a year ago. My review is long overdue but to this day we still talk about how it was one of the BEST, if not THE BEST vacay we've ever been on. There were supposed to be 11 girls (unfortunately 2 girls flights were canceled) btw ages 25-31. The property was very clean & maintained. The post was accurate. The furniture was modern/minimal as seen in the photos. The bathrooms felt like a high-end hotel. But still the pictures do not do this place justice..BREATH-TAKING in person. The condo was more than spacious & any room you slept felt like paradise. I even slept on the porch & waking up to the sunrise was AMAZING. Leon, the owner, was very thorough in answering all my questions prior to our stay, & I did have a lot! Closer to the date we dealt with the Manager, Sandra, who was very accommodating/professional. For major groceries we took a short cab ride to walmart on the first day. But for anything else there's a small convenient store next door. If you're talking about location, it can't get better than this. It's in the middle of several hotels so you get all the location perks without staying at a stuffy hotel. Senior Frogs was across the street and major nightclubs were within 5 min...close enough to walk in HEELS! But by the end of the night we did walk home barefoot. The cement sidewalk was clean, so it was fine! Even walking home at night, girls in "clubbing" outfits, we never felt like we were in danger. You should still always be careful but the condo is on a well lit main road with others tourists around. The locals tried selling stuff but they were not pushy & were actually polite/funny. I've been to countries where they would follow behind you. A local souvenir market was also a short walk away. The cabanas, infinity pool, beach, & sand were STUNNING. One morning I ran along the beach...truly relaxing. Even cooking together was so much fun on vacation. Be aware that the security at the condo is tight so you MUST give every name of every guest staying there! This may have felt like a hassle at first but believe me, it makes you feel much safer. There was even a little play ground for kids downstairs. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The atmosphere truly made a difference! I hope to visit again, I want to share it with my family! I'd recommend to everyone! old, young, guy group, girl group, families w/ kids. If you want to relax, this is it!Owner response: Dear Beverly and Group Thank you for the kind review. It is above and beyond a great review, it is a sincere illustration of the real life experiences guests express to me directly, and onto the various website with comment pages. As much as the home was well received, it was a pleasure to have such kind and respectful guests. When we have guests like yourself and your group, it makes our duties so much more pleasurable than they already are in the first place. The energy of the home reflects on the energy of the guests and this was evident in your stay; and it is even more evident in your comment to the audience about this lovely luxury beachfront home. Needless to say, you are always welcome back; and even more so, we would love to have you back! In addition, the Manager, Sandra, being that she is so good at her duties has evolved into another position with a developer. As much as we loved to have her as a manager, when someone has so much potential to evolve...the only thing to do is let them evolve in their own timeline. We have of course filled the position of management with a wonderful and well-reputable gentleman at the property named Ernesto, or was guests and clients like to call him, "Ernie." Just like Sandra, the new manager Ernie is attentive, detailed, and offers the same great variety of services directly to guests as the past manager had done. Whether new guests or the return of Beverly & Co : ), I am secure you will find the experience equally pleasant. Once again, thank you for the kind review and hopefully we will see you in 2012! Regards, LK (owner)

I would go here anytime again! Had a great time with friends and family in this unit. BREATHTAKING views, easy access to beach, pool and snack bar located right in front of you. Less crowd. Walking distance to ALL the needs/wants including restaurants, local shopping, amenities, mini grocery list , clubs etc.. Unit was maintained very clean, lots of space. We were a family of 12. Kids had fun time too. Kitchen could have been a bit bigger, and 2 out of 4 rooms could have had more closet space, but other than that no complaints. I would go there any day again to sip that morning coffee on the balcony during sunrise! That alone was worth it. Highly recommend it.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children, tourists without a car, adventure seekers.

With 10 family members coming from three different countries this was a big event that required 5 star accommodations. The location is perfect, walking distance to shopping, restaurants and amenities. The condo itself is in the premiere condo complex in Cancun, everything is first class including the friendly service staff and security personnel. The ocean views from the condo are phenomenal and you really are right on the beach. Pool and pool bar are great with very reasonable prices, did not use the tennis court but it looked in good shape. I normally do not do reviews online but since we plan to go back again this year thought I should put in a good word to the owner, who really is an awesome guy. Cannot wait to get back to Cancun!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway, tourists without a car.

FULL ACCESS TO POOL AND ELEVATOR. NO RESTRICTION ISSUES WITH THIS UNIT. HOME IS PERFECT! LAST REVIEW WAS EXAGGERATED REVIEW FROM DISGRUNTLED GUESTS. My family had an amazing time! The views in this place are worth a million dollars alone! Nothing like it! We had made our reservations back in November of 2010. All the reviews were great! 5 star. And then before our trip date in end of April, we checked onto site again to look at the pictures. Needless to say, we saw the 1-Star Negative Review the owner received. We were a bit nervous and called him immediately to know what is the issue with Common Area access? Leon had been responsive from the beginning so the review posted April 20 began to worry us. Leon was open and transparent about it all. To start, he immediately provided us proof that the home had no restrictions, and all areas were accessible. The former guest arrived to the home during a heated Court Dispute between the owner and the Home Owners Administration. The guests ended up in the middle without Leon knowing about it until AFTER GUESTS CHECKED IN. He was blind-sided with a random act by H.O.A. When guests arrived, Leon was notified his guests were not allowed in the common areas. The home was in perfect condition, but guests had to use stairs that day. It was the punishment onto the owner through inconveniencing his paying Guests. Leon explained it was Easter weekend and he was helpless that weekend because all offices were closed. He could only speed up the process the following Monday. Leon offered the group a partial rebate and extra services as compensation, but they refused all offers. In result, THE OWNER REFUNDED 100% AND GAVE THEM $300 EXTRA DOLLARS AS A GIFT. Leon explained to us that, it was a bad act of timing and some spiteful actions from administration which the group of guests fell in the middle of. BEFORE MY FAMILY ARRIVED ON APRIL 26, LEON HAD ALREADY HAD SETTLED ALL ISSUES WITH MAINTENANCE ADMINISTRATION AND HAD PROVIDED MY WIFE AND I WRITTEN PROOF. Besides the owner, the manager Sandra was really great! She offered us a variety of services at really reasonable prices. She check on us several times and even made a short visit mid-week to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we need. This was a 5-Star stay and we are really glad that the other Twenty (20) 5-Start reviews all were 100% true!! Thank you Leon! Thank you Sandra. See you all next year in Summer 2012! We are coming back for sure!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

When I read the excellent reviews of this condo, I thought it would be the perfect place to spend Easter week with a group of 8 friends. I was in touch with the owner several times and he was helpful and quick to respond to emails. However, when the 8 of us got there and wanted to check in, the security people told us we could stay in the condo but with NO ACCESS TO THE POOL, ELEVATOR OR OTHER COMMON AREAS because the owner had not paid maintenance fees!!!!! It was definitely not what we signed up for and a terrible start to our vacation. We should have been informed of this beforehand, not upon arrival. It took us half a day to finally find another place in the same building, which had 3 rooms instead of 4-5. The owner was apologetic and reimbursed us that same day, plus 300 dollars for the misunderstanding. We ended up having a great time in the other property, but we did waste the first day of the vacation trying to sort this out. Be sure to ask about the use of common areas before signing your rental agreement!Owner response: Unfortunately, of all guests in 3 years. Over 80 rentals, 20+ Positive Reviews, I have to admit to this confusion outcome with this guest. I, the owner, had a temporary dispute with my HOA Admin, and in retribution they had imposed last minute restrictions on my guests. Literally the day of check in! Although were immediately in mediation for a resolution, the group of guests that this applies to did not end up being introduced to the best condition. The security were instructed to not let my guests for that specific period of time use the common areas including elevator. I knew this was not reasonable-and that was the goal of the HOA. I could not let my guests bare the burden of this inconvenience. PLEASE NOTE: the actual home, interior, and all amenities that apply are and were in perfect condition. The guests simply wanted to be at pool full time and not use stairs. Which, as an owner, and a paying guest of other rentals, could completely understand the guest's position. Within 2 hour arriving and refusing home, the group received a 100% REFUND + $300 BONUS COMPLIMENTS OF THE OWNER as "gift" for group in terms of the inconvenience they faced. Hopefully they used it to treat themselves to a great meal! I apologized to guests offered them free credits along with other perks, but they refused. So, they received 100% refund PLUS extra Rebate Money. Although ultimately an inconvenience, scarcely you hear of a hotel, or owner who returns 110% Refund. An idea of how attentive I tried to be in light of situation. I assure all future guests that home is 100% available, clear of any issues and if you still for some reason feel a skepticism, I will then be happy to send you a proof of resolution from the board. I doubt it will be necessary. The other dozens and dozens of 5 start comments speak for themselves.

So if you are visiting since the first time in a few days, I apologize for the ridiculous amount of posting I've done this weekend. It's so unlike me to post five times in just a few mere hours. Usually this type of thing takes me weeks!
But the next two posts were made so I can link to them up above, on my link bar. It is now full and that makes me happy....blank space on that bar was making me cuckoo.
The blog list:
My no means is this comprehensive or the end-all of my blog world. Please do not be offended if you aren't on the list--it probably just means my eyes began to bulge out of my skull while staring at the computer screen for entirely too long typing that list. You see, I had to refer back and forth to my Google Reader and type in those babies by hand. It sucked and I apologize if I missed you. Feel free to leave me a comment and if I gain the courage to look at that list again, I will add you. I must say that I restrict myself from adding more blogs to my GR account because it's incredibly overwhelming to have 100+ posts to read each evening after work...but I love clicking on your blogs after you leave me a comment. So no hard feelings, okay? Good. I'm glad that is settled. I couldn't stand any cyber hurt feelings.
The FAQs:
I made this post by thinking of the most common questions I get via comments. If you are dying to know something that I failed to mention please leave me a comment or email me. My addy is tucked away in my profile somewhere, I believe.
And with that I am all posted out for now. It's hard work being this post-y.

Home | 2003 Announcements Media Advisory -- From Great Lakes Commission and National Sea Grant College Program |
Efforts to Restore the Greatness move forward
Ann Arbor, Mich. -- Efforts to restore and protect the Great Lakes ecosystem are taking a significant step forward, thanks to a new initiative by the Great Lakes Commission and the National Sea Grant College Program. The Commission will partner with university-based Sea Grant programs in the Great Lakes states to help identify ecosystem restoration needs and the science behind them. This information can then be used by the regions governors and the larger community of policymakers and opinion leaders as a basis for a formal plan to ensure the sustainable use, management and protection of the resource. Funded by the National Sea Grant College Program, this ambitious two-year initiative will research ecosystem problems and needs; assess existing restoration initiatives; conduct focus groups to identify priorities; and convene a restoration planning forum to assemble outcomes. The process will help regional leadership in preparing a blueprint for congressional action that offers practical guidance in allocating funds for programs and projects that will move the region toward a shared vision for the future. Development of a restoration plan must be based upon sound science, and proceed with a clear understanding of ecosystem conditions, objectives and research activity, said Dr. Michael J. Donahue, Great Lakes Commission president/CEO. Working together, the Commission and Sea Grant make a great team that will help shape and support regional priorities. A regional consultation process will be used to gather information on the range of prospective priorities. The process will be an inclusive one and will welcome the involvement of all interests in the binational Great Lakes-St. Lawrence region. A special emphasis will be placed on local perspectives on restoration priorities, with consultations to include state coastal management programs, mayors and municipal officials, and a range of user groups. Restoration planning is an emerging priority in regions throughout the country, said Dr. Ronald C. Baird, director of the National Sea Grant College Program. The foundation for a successful plan and ecosystem improvement is sound science, and our state Sea Grant Programs are a tremendous source of scientific expertise. A centerpiece of the effort will be a series of state-specific stakeholder workshops convened by the Great Lakes Commission and Sea Grant. The inaugural workshop will take place on Sept. 18, 2003, in Ann Arbor, Mich., as part of a Great Lakes symposium led by Michigan Sea Grant and the University of Michigans School of Natural Resources and Environment. Similar workshops in other Great Lakes states will follow over a nine-month period, also helping to lay the foundation for the governors plan. This restoration planning initiative comes amidst recent U.S. and Canadian reports highlighting the need for an overarching strategy, enhanced interagency coordination, and adequate funding for Great Lakes restoration and protection programs. Our governors are ideally positioned to spearhead the development of restoration priorities and, subsequently, a restoration plan, said Commission Chair Sam Speck, who is also director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The Great Lakes Commission and Sea Grant are well-suited to work with our many stakeholders to identify needs and the scientific basis for them. A plea to Restore the Greatness was first issued by the Great Lakes Commission two years ago with the inaugural release of its Great Lakes Program to Ensure Environmental and Economic Prosperity. Endorsed by the Commissions eight member states, the document presents legislative, policy and appropriations priorities addressing seven goals: cleaning up toxic hotspots; shutting the door on invasive species; controlling nonpoint source pollution; restoring and conserving wetlands and critical coastal habitat; ensuring the sustainable use of our water resources; strengthening our decision support capability; and enhancing the commercial and recreational value of our waterways. Together with a number of other regional and jurisdiction-specific strategies, including the U.S. Policy Committees Great Lakes Strategy 2002, it will help to inform and advance the large-scale, ecosystem restoration priorities development and planning effort.

I am not photogenic nor do I enjoy having my picture taken. So when it came to choosing a photographer for one of the most important events of my life, communication and my comfort level were key factors. Ashley understood these concerns from the get-go and while we accomplished the standard family portraits as dictated by tradition, it was quick and fun and we all looked far better than I ever would have imagined. She captured the spirit of the entire event, the open spaces of the countryside and the elegance of the tent we worked so hard on. Not just the happy couple, but the whole wedding party was enchanted by the way she caught the day on film and for the first time, I have a entire collection of pictures of myself I actually like!!!
