The Tides Beachfront Condos for sale in Playa del Carmen
Nestled on the beach, just a block from the lively, pedestrian-only Quinta Avenida, Tides will be downtown Playa del Carmen’s highest-end condo and hotel development. It is currently the town’s only oceanfront, professionally-managed condo/hotel project with full services and amenities. It will be operated by the Visionaries of Viceroy Hotels and Residences
Originally a quiet fishing village that served as a port to the dive center of Cozumel, Playa del Carmen has developed into an increasingly sophisticated town offering a wide array of dining and entertainment choices. Small enough to explore in a day, Playa del Carmen has premium Mexican, Italian and Brazilian restaurant and an increasing number of cuisine options, from local down-home fare to gourmet experiences. The nightlife ranges from discos and nightclubs to cafés offering samplings of local music and culture. A town rich in Mayan history (originally known as Xaman-Ha, now the name of a local aviary) replete with sweeping white sand beaches and deep turquoise water, Playa del Carmen is located in the Yucatán Peninsula’s northern coastal zone (which stretches from Cancún to Tulúm). Travelers enjoy scuba diving, fishing, swimming, and touring the ruins, as well as visiting in nearby eco-tourism destinations. Zoning restrictions help preserve Playa del Carmen’s original character and charm, while the town modernizes steadily, offering Internet cafés and eco-tourism to the savvy traveler.
Characterized by beachfront activity and a diverse array of retail and entertainment options on the pedestrian-only 5th Avenue, the town offers the best features of any world-class tropical destination. The Playa Tucán public beach, where Cielo/El Tukan is located, is considered the best and widest beach in Playa del Carmen while also offering located adjacent access to the town’s best beach clubs. Buyers will be attracted to the oceanfront location as well as the central access to the town’s nightlife, shopping, and other commercial services. Mayan ruins, cenotes and eco-sanctuaries are also readily accessible via tour guide or rental car. Additionally, world-class diving is just a 40-minute ferry ride away off the island of Cozumel.
The offer of condominiums within the hotel affords visitors the opportunity for a more personal, long-term experience with the region.

ABOUT PLAYA DEL CARMEN
The Riviera Maya is famous for its white sandy beaches, unparalleled scuba-diving and well-preserved Mayan ruins that have attracted tourists to the area for several decades. What was originally a sleepy fishing village, Playa del Carmen is characterized now by its lively beachfront activity and the charming and increasingly-upscale retail and entertainment options on the pedestrian-only 5th Avenue. Playa del Carmen is a charming international city where English is the second language and Spanish, Italian, French, German and Portuguese are common.
AREA ANALYSIS
Real estate values in the majority of the Riviera Maya are appreciating at a rate of more than 25% per year.Over the past 3 years the Riviera Maya has had occupancy rates of over 80% region wide.
Tourism in the Mayan Rivera increased 27% from 1998 to 2005 growing from 600,000 visitors to 2.4 million and continues to grow today. By comparison, Cancun experienced only 4% growth in the same time frame. There is full employment in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo.
Zoning restrictions are in place to maintain the original character of the town, limiting hotels to 25 rooms or less per acre, with heights limited to 40 feet.
The Riviera Maya is rapidly developing into a five star destination: St. Regis, W Hotels, Four Seasons, (Orient Express), Fairmont, Viceroy, Rosewood, Banyan Tree and La Casa Que Qanta all have hotels and residential developments completed or opening in 2006.
Cancun is the gateway to the Riviera Maya and the airport has the best international airlift from the United States, Europe, Mexico or the Caribbean. More than 25 US cities have direct flights to Cancun with a maximum travel time of four and a half hours. There are also more than 15 European gateway cities on regular scheduled flights.
