Time Share nothing like old fools that's us
I am surprised that you have gotten this far in the Mexican legal system. What you are experiencing is standard practice. People just don't show up when summoned to Court. What are you going to do about it? My understanding is that someone summoned has two chances to show up. If they don't show up, ...

Villa Premiere
The VP is right across the street from the Buenaventura. Same side of the street, maybe 100 ft north. I would highly recommend the VP. I have stayed there many times. Most recently a few months ago. Adults only. Oversize rooms. AI if you want. Beach not great, but exceptionally nice cabanas on the b...

Emperador
Condos La Palapa is next to the Emperador. El Dorado is the same side of the street and across the street from La Palapa. So, it goes Emperador, La Palapa and then El Dorado. The little stub street running between La Palapa and El Dorado is where alot of the early morning garbage pickup goes on that...

Actually, Choco Banana and Banana Cantina are directly across the street from Condos La Palapa. Or, they are across the street and several doors to the south from the Emperador. Or, they are across the street and towards the beach a door or two from the Kit Kat. Or, they are kitty corner across the ...

There is a Pemex Gas Station on the highway on the south side of town. It just isn't anywhere close to VT.

VT is not at all close to the Pemex Station. It is just slightly north of Conchas Chinas. It is on the mountain side of the highway. There is a funicular, but I don't know anything about it's operational reliability. The main entrance to VT is directly across from Torre Mailibu up a very steep, rutt...

Ann--I have never heard of this realtor and don't know anything about them. Marcos has given you some good advice. A listing agent will try to tell you that he can equally represent both the buyer and seller. Of course. He doesn't want to split the commission. Don't believe him. He is only represent...

As Jennybean has so eloquently put it, everyone has the choice as whether or not to read various posts. As she says, if you don't want to read GCP posts, don't read them. Jennybean does not tell people not to post nor does she make snide remarks about them. She simply chooses not to read them and mo...

Does anyone know anything about this real estate agency in PV? It is located at Interior Plaza Caracol, Local 67, 2nd Floor. I would like any information you might have, including the address of their website. Thanks.

The name of the road going up to VT is Manuel Ponce. Driving south on the main highway to Mismaloya you take a left up the hill just about where Torre Malibu is on the right. The left turn just before this would take you up the hill to Loma Linda.

Prez Election
If they aren't serving alcohol at your hotel because of an election, there won't be any "legal" alcohol served anywhere in Mexico for the same reason. Depending on why you want AI, seems like two days without alcohol sort of defeats the purpose of AI. From past personal experience, the alcohol ban d...

I can not agree with the coments about Oscar's. It is one of my favorite lunch places in PV. Beautiful spot with the river on one side and the bay on the other. Sometimes musical entertainment. Service in the European style. Food delicious and beautiful presentation. I have been there dozens of time...

Engineer/building inspector
Hi Scott and Grace--Neither one of your posts on this subject indicated whether or not you are presently in PV (Yelapa) or whether or not you currently own the property on which you wish to place a second floor. Why don't you start out by contacting the American Consulate in PV and explaining what s...

Hi Scott and Grace--I don't think that Judimex has been heard from since she accused me of having verbal diarrhea.
There are qualified engineers in PV who can answer your question. Get a recommendation from an ex pat living in PV. Do not use someone recommended by a realtor or by the seller.

Re:real estate broker area/recommendations
Speaking from sad personal experience, I would only deal with someone recommended by a foreigner living in PV, such as PMT. Do not be fooled by the big American franchises. Read the fine print. "Each office is independently owned and operated." If you have a problem the American home office could no...

I just realized where this thread has gone. I thought it had been deleted. Dear Randyintuscon--I was happy to read your message.

Re:Buying property in PV
Dear Judy--A notary (notario) is only involved if there is a closing. If there is no closing, a notary is not involved. The ten original purchasers never closed. However, the developers did use notarios when they transferred our condos to their wives, children, sons, daughters, aunts, uncles etc.
