Description:

Gerardo and I have been friends for well over a decade. Originally from Argentina near Patagonia, Gerardo arrived in the Riviera Maya to work in the hotel business. The job offer he received was to work at a large hotel in Playa del Carmen. Gerardo says working for big corporations didn’t suit him because he didn’t feel he was able to express himself fully. Then, he met the owners of the local Lol-Ha restaurant. They asked him to join them in changing the face of their establishment. He was finally able to express himself creatively and he loved the town of Akumal. After a walk to the Caribbean on his very first day in town, he called his family in Argentina and told them to sell all of his belongings because he wouldn’t be returning.

Gerardo knew he wanted to become part of the real estate market in Mexico. He became a Mexican citizen and learned everything he could about the area. He says, the real estate environment in the Riviera Maya has very mature markets to the North in Cancun and developing markets near Tulum. Tulum is a wonderful place to invest because the atmosphere is laid back and relaxed. You can have a better lifestyle for less money. 

Gerardo’s favorite places in Mexico, in addition to the Riviera Maya, are Chiapas, Zacatecas and the bustling, Mexico City. He visits annually to visit the museums and great restaurants, all of which are easy to get to from the new larger airport and improved roads.
