We are proud to introduce a new section in our blog that will be detailing the impressions of the happy new owners at Perla Del Mar. It will be entitled “First And Lasting Impressions” and will include the comments of those who have purchased a condo, or have just dropped by for a visit.

Our first entry in this section is from two new proud owners of a unit in Perla.

M,
Thanks again to both you and V for all that you did for us last week … the visit to Manzanillo and the care and attention that we received when we were there certainly exceeded our expectations.  We are absolutely thrilled with the conclusions reached and the decisions made last week … we are looking forward to our piece of heaven being completed.

We knew we wanted to purchase oceanfront property in Mexico but we were unsure as to how to go about making this dream a reality, especially in a foreign country where Spanish was the predominate language. With the assistance of Mark and his team of realtors and interior designers, purchasing and furnishing a condo in Perla del Mar was “a piece of cake”. We were met at the airport, shuttled to a local hotel (where a very good room rate had been negotiated for us prior to our arrival) and toured around the Manzanillo area, quickly gaining an appreciation for the local people, culture, and community. Once we made the decision to purchase the condo, all of the paperwork was readily available for us to review in English. As well, we were able to converse with the architect and other interior design experts who assisted us in selecting and purchasing furniture, blinds, and artwork. In less than a week, we were able to not only have all of the legal documents finalized but also have arranged to have our condo fully furnished and ready for us to move into on our possession date. Things could not have been made any easier with the best part being that we don’t even have to wait around for furniture deliveries!!!

We had a bit of an adventure getting back home.  Flight from Manzanillo to Phoenix went fine, however on the Phoenix to Calgary leg, we got turned around about an hour outside of Calgary because of weather (in Calgary).  Airplane was returned to, and we spent the night (Saturday) in Phoenix; eventually got home to Calgary late on Sunday night (via Minneapolis).  Bit of a change … sand/surf and +30° to snow/ice and -21°!!

We are happy to welcome P and D to their new home in Manzanillo, and look forward to getting to know them better!
