Shoot....I really wanted to hook up with you.....things have been a bit crazy....we were in PV....met many friends American and Mexican, got call from son...going to be grandparents, got some info on Belair, and on way home in car found out my dad had been in terrible car accident in Mexico ( he is okay, but dealing with legalities in Mexico LOL). Hopefully we can meet next time.....sorry....

What a pity Bruce as we arrive that day in Nuevo Vallarta when you leave. We are two weeks here and two weeks in Puerto Vallarta.

Pammex, are we still meeting each other? I am meeting at least two other TUGgers while we are here and a few friends, typical snowbirds, who come here every year. It has become a tradition to meet each other every year! :)

Hi Pammex,

We are at Velas Vallarta 3 Jan - 14 Feb 2009. Were you here? We went the the BelAir presentation in November. We could see the BelAir's 'progress' from high up at Velas. We didn't buy at the BelAir but it is amazing to see a few columns move around. Some Velas employees commented that BelAir is 'pretending' to build.

Hope to meet you next time we are in the same town. I use http://TripIt.com in case you also use it. It make it easy to track when were are in the same town as others.

Best regards,
Flexible

According to those real time video cams, they're still placing concrete for the foundations!!! :D

Is Belaire anywhere near the Marina? We'll be in PV next month, and I might saunter over if it's not too far from us.

Belaire is in the marina area, not where cruise ships come in but the marina area near airport.

Where will you be in PV. If you call the 'Marina' the area across from the Marriott then there is Marriott, Porto Fina, Velas Vallarta, Bay View Grand and BelAir. The Casa Velas are across from the golf course and also a block away. Mayan Palace in the Marina is on the other side of the Marriott between Melia and Westin. This Marina is the one with tons of shops & restaurants.

We'll be at the Mayan Palace. Looks as if I tracked it down on Google Maps. If they got the location correct, it's at the north end of what I learned to call the Marina area (Marina Vallarta, not the cruise ship terminal), with the property abutting the south boundary of the airport airport and one or two lots landward of the shoreline.

Have had a crazy month, but here is a small bit of info till I get caught up....when we did Belair presentation they told us Ai for something like $60. US per day per person and could be used in all restaurants in Marina, which of course we felt was ludicrous!

We did pass by Belair and I have photos and will get them up as soon as feasible in light of all that is occurring with us at the moment. There continues to be a very small crew of workers...5-6 with very few hours actually from our sitings. There is machinery just sitting there on site, no clue the costs to rent such equipment to sit there, day after day.

They have cleared out the swimming pool LOL ( big hole in ground of water), they have installed 9 big steel support columns, and 6 small ones. Just a note, they are out of line and crooked.....and the smaller support columns are on outside....weird....

They continue to offer presentations as per the locals....the continue to have the 1-2 guards on site around the clock. Many other resorts have come to completion in the time of Belair's construction. Locals continue to say they do not think this will come to fruition.

We did pass some lovely woman who had purchased some time ago.....they said they were pleased some construction was occurring.....hmm...they also said they were told the steel support beams weighed over 10,000 pounds each, so only 3 could be brought in per day via flatbed from Mexico City.....my husband asked them if Mexico only had one flat bed??? Interestingly after this comment they no longer wished to talk to us....

so in 2 or 3 years......support columns are up......this must definately be a Mexican time frame project, whilst the rest of PV is constructing like crazy.

I'll follow with pics and such shortly...pressed for time now...

I continue to wish well to those who have purchased but my wishes may not be in line with reality.....

You will be in walking distance. Walk North past Velas Vallarta and you will see BelAir to your right but a bit further North. It in NOT Ocean Front.

Bay View Grand is just past Velas Vallarta but by the time you get that close you just cross the street to the BelAir.

I know there are prohibitions and restrictions on non-Mexicans owning ocean front land. Nevertheless, for a resort that touts itself as being so upscale and exclusive, you would think they could find a way to secure an ocean front location. So many other resorts have figured out a way to make it happen.

Seems a bit ludicrous to me to be what they espouse to be and not have an ocean front location and to share a fenceline with a major commercial airport.

Pam, I am so sorry to read about your father's accident in Mexico but I am glad that he is OK. We may meet later. I met flexible and her husband today and will meet other TUGgers too! :)

Thanks to all...my dad is doing good....( minor injuries and healing cuts..very lucky!!!) 73 and kicking with nine lives, even joking about his ordeal, good attitude but I was a wreck and not finding it too funny.... Now we are just buried with paperwork dealing with this.....I tell you Mexico loves paperwork....LOL. ( of course everything is in Spanish and though can speak am not bilingual so my son is getting tired of translating, though he is so sweet to his grandad). My parents said he was a lifesaver, being bilingual and dealing with police and all......good thing he did not go away with us.

All of you in PV, please have a shot of Don Julio for me or a margarita!!!

I connections have fun meeting fellow tuggers......I received a PM from flexible today....

To all of you enjoy your vacations......and watch for my upcoming reviews and pics of last vacation.....I am ready for another vacation already though....
