In today’s episode, I chat with Kristin Roehmer, who is originally from Arizona. She and her husband Marcus made a home in Playa del Carmen. Kristin and Marcus went in on a 50/50 investment with their friend Randy to purchase a condo down in Playa; this was back in 2004 when the real estate market was starting to flourish. Kristin and Marcus never planned on starting a family there or living there for more than a year. 11 years later, they still have their place in Arizona and are residing in Playa del Carmen full-time with their beautiful 8-year-old son. Listen to the intriguing story of how Kristin and Marcus made it to Mexico. How did they fall into the property management arena? Kristin and Marcus kind of fell into it. They had some clients from their businesses in the states and started investing in properties in Playa. Kristin and Marcus became the liaison; one thing led to another, and before they knew it, they had a property management business. How did they get involved with the Bric Hotel? Things just evolved organically. Kristin and Marcus's friends owned the hotel at the time and asked them to run it. It’s a small quaint boutique hotel located on 28th St between 5tha and 10th; it’s in the center of Playa del Carmen. The Bric Hotel offers 15 rooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, breakfast included, air conditioning, WiFi, pool, beautiful gardens, and spa. Can you give us more information about the Spa? They converted some of their old office space to an Organic Spa in the Bric Hotel. Jacqueline is the General Manager of the Spa. You can sit by the pool and have lunch, massages, manicures, pedicures, and many other treatments. Did you go back to the States to have your son? Kristin and Marcus couldn't be happier with the care and services they were provided in Cancun. Marcus jokes that life couldn’t be better; he had a glass of red wine, fillet, and his newborn son in his arms. Where do you like to go for long weekends? Kristin and her family like to go to Uxmal, Punta Laguna, and Isla Holbox. Marcus and Randy are out today experiencing a couple of cenotes. Do you have any secret destinations you would like to share? Kristin loves Isla Holbox; located an hour and a half from Playa and a quick ferry boat across to an island where the wildlife is spectacular, no cars, it's all dirt roads, tiny hotels, great restaurants, and friendly people. She likes to see the whale sharks, in season from May to September. When they have family or friends visiting for day trips, they like to do yoga on paddleboards down in the lagoon, South of Tulum. Once you get out in nature and stand on a paddleboard on the calm water surrounded by mangroves and bright blue sky, it is a whole different experience than yoga indoors.
