I’ve decided to start a new series on this blog; Spectacular Transformations!\u00c2\u00a0 the\u00c2\u00a0Playa del Carmen real estate<\/a> market and other expat communities in Mexico have grown rapidly over the past few years.\u00c2\u00a0 Rapid growth means rapid change.\u00c2\u00a0 In some cases, there have bee spectacular transformations of communities, city blocks or even individual properties.<\/p>\n

Hotel Paradisus, a spectacular transformation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some places, not that long ago were streets that you avoided walking down (not because of safety, simply because they were so … visually unappealing, shall we say?) In some cases, the road had just never been constructed, and muddy holes and stagnant puddles made the road impassable in car or walking.\u00c2\u00a0 There were also those properties which people either didn’t keep up or the original villagers where hanging onto for some reason or another, maintaining their huts or half-built homes.<\/p>\n

The spectacular part; many of these areas have been completely turned around.\u00c2\u00a0 Some creative developer or highly motivated and imaginative individual investor picked up an area or property like this and made something absolutely beautiful out of it.<\/p>\n

\"Playa

Stories like these can be a real inspiration to buyers, showing how much potential can be hidden in an outwardly unappealing property, or how a neighborhood can turn around for the better virtually over night.<\/p>\n

My first topic is a brand new hotel called Paradisus Playa del Carmen la Perla.\u00c2\u00a0 The hotel is absolutely beautiful, an upscale all inclusive resort right on the beach surrounded on most sides by lush, green nature.<\/p>\n

You would never guess that this hotel is located on what not that long ago was an empty unused tract of land between an abandoned beach and Playa del Carmen’s low-end neighborhood, which has at times been called a shanty town.\u00c2\u00a0 (Partly because of the existence of Paradisus La Perla, this community, called Colosio, may be undergoing a transformation of its own; savvy investors have been looking at\u00c2\u00a0Mexico homes for sale<\/a> in the neighborhood, but that’s a topic for another post.)<\/p>\n

\"Playa
This is what the beach access and grounds looked like before<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The beachfront is now home to beautiful lounge chairs and canopy beds shaded by palms.\u00c2\u00a0 along side either side of the hotel there is a newly and beautifully constructed stamped-concrete beach access with a pretty pergola with showers to wash the sand off after leaving the beach.\u00c2\u00a0 Behind the hotel, the street bordering the low-end community has been paved with a bike lane, decorative street lamps and benches and palm trees have been installed.\u00c2\u00a0 Nice restaurants and shops seem to be appearing.<\/p>\n

The space that the hotel is on, along with the walkways on all sides of it are entirely unrecognizable from what they were before; this is a good change, and it is spectacular!<\/p>\n
