We’ve posted on this blog on various occasions about Hollywood stars showing up in places like Cancun or Puerto Vallarta.\u00c2\u00a0 This weekend we got a very nice story from The Mexico Report about the history and current appeal of Mexico for Hollywood.\u00c2\u00a0 What it boils right down to is that the country is appealing to movie and T.V. stars for the same reasons that\u00c2\u00a0Mexico real estate<\/a> is appealing to us average working Americans (with my comments)<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n

Mexico has long been a destination of choice for celebrities and those in the entertainment industry. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no wonder \u00e2\u20ac\u201c with the abundance of picture perfect beaches, private, luxurious accommodations and relaxed yet festive atmosphere \u00e2\u20ac\u201c that the ever-bustling entertainment industry is so closely drawn to Mexico.<\/p>\n

Iconic movies like Night of the Iguana, which starred Richard Burton, put Puerto Vallarta on the map in the 60\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s (Puerto Vallarta real estate<\/a> was already a favorite expat destination, and this just made it take off that much more!)<\/strong><\/em> and because of the making of Twentieth Century Fox\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s epic film Titanic in Baja California, Fox Baja Studios was created along with some of the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s largest stages and filming tanks.<\/p>\n

In addition to Titanic, dozens of movies have been filmed at Fox Baja Studios including MGM\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Tomorrow Never Dies, Disney\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Peal Harbor, and Fox\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Master and Commander The Far Side of the World. Hundreds of filmmakers have chosen locations all throughout Mexico to intensify or beautify their films.<\/p>\n

The destination of Mexico has been equally synonymous with celebrity getaways as well, whether for a much-needed hiatus or a special occasion celebration, engagement, wedding or anniversary.\u00c2\u00a0 With the wealth of five star luxury hotels, resorts and villas, world-class gourmet cuisine, celebrity chefs, personalized concierge service, first class amenities and warm Mexican hospitality, Mexico has time and again proven to be the destination of choice for the A-list crowd.<\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no wonder \u00e2\u20ac\u201c in 2012 alone, Mexico boasted the most hotels ever on\u00c2\u00a0Cond\u00c3\u00a9 Nast Traveler\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s prestigious Gold List\u00c2\u00a0with a staggering 33 properties on the list and more than one-third the total in the Americas.<\/p>\n

Mexico also\u00c2\u00a0topped the lists of dozens of 2012 travel lists\u00c2\u00a0including Frommer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, Lonely Planet, Moon Travel Guide, Reuters, CNN and Forbes to name a few.<\/p>\n

Hollywood celebrities flock to Mexico in droves because of the close proximity as well.\u00c2\u00a0 Depending on if the flight is a private charter or a commercial air carrier, from Los Angeles, celebs can jaunt to Cabo in a quick two hours; to Puerto Vallarta in three hours, and to Cancun\/Riviera Maya in four and a half hours. \u00c2\u00a0Cancun and Riviera Maya are among the top beach destinations in the world. (Great reason to buy Cancun real estate<\/a>, wouldn’t you say?!)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fresh off wrapping from Percy Jackson 2: Sea of Monsters, The\u00c2\u00a0Hunger Games\u00c2\u00a0starlet Leven Rambin\u00c2\u00a0left Hollywood behind over Labor Day and escaped with friends toViceroy Riviera Maya, in Playa del Carmen. \u00c2\u00a0She spent her time jet skiing in the warm Caribbean water that laps the resort\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s white-sand beach, dining on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153amazing fish tacos\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and exploring nearby Mayan ruins. Leven also indulged in a deep-tissue massage at the resort\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Mayan-themed spa.<\/p>\n

Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara recently celebrated her 40th birthday in Riviera Maya. Along with boyfriend Nick Loeb and \u00c2\u00a0a group of her closest friends, Vergara explored parts of Yucatan and Quintana Roo, including a visit to the great archeological ruins of Chichen Itza.<\/div>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Riviera Maya is the closest destination to one of the New Seven Wonders of the World for U.S. travelers, along with access to the largest coral reef in the Americas,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Director of Public Relations at Fairmont Mayakoba, Paulina Feltrin. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Mexico has been and continues to be a preferred destination for celebrities.
