View From Rick's Condo

Sunset Ritual

Pool Bar, Playa Grande Condo

Jasper South

I was invited to this place by Art from his neighbour Rick, so  I took the opportunity to take advantage of this place. This condo complex is like a time share owner operator oasis on Isa Navidad. It is a little paradise in between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo on the west coast of Mexico.

Upon arriving to this place, it was almost like I did not leave home (Jasper). Several of the Jasper residents are owners of these condos, not  sure if they want me to talk about it, but oh well,,. I just won’t name anyone. 🙂 The big defence with this place is the weather of course. Sunset rituals and social gatherings are the norm here.

Thanks to Rick and his hospitality, Art and I got to enjoy the area local style.

Amazingly long beach

Amazingly long beach

Even though the beach is so long, the waves here are irregular and not really good for swimming, so having a pool at the condominium is a good thing.

Turtle Caretaker

Alfredo, the turtle caretaker. Time to time, the turtles come onto the beach and lay eggs near the condo. Alfredo who runs the shop at the condo, relocates the eggs to give them a better chance of survival from the predetors.
