What's Changing in Nuevo Vallarta - From Dale

June 10, 2014

Dale returned from his late May, 2014 vacation in Nuevo Vallarta and let us know he had photos to share....again. This is the fourth year since 2010 that Dale has shared his photos with us all.

This year is interesting because not only has he shown new concepts in Celebrations, but also he has shown us changes to the property and the Luxxe Towers. Finally, he has offered a glimpse of the Back of the House Tour, which a number members have taken and all said it was a worthwhile tour.

The captions that appear above provide navigation to the subjects of Dal'e photos. Enjoy!

Before and After....Nuevo Vallarta
February 16, 2012 is the "Before" date and May 24, 2014 is the "After" date. This is where the only constant in life.....is change....

All of the following photos were taken by Dale, again the upper left photo was taken on February 16, 2012 and the upper right and lower left photos were taken on May 24, 2014 (June10, 2014 was when we received the photo.)

BTW, do you remember what they called that little island in front of Tower III? You guessed it....Wedding Island. Weddings were going to be held there. LOL.

Reminds me of a story an old time timeshare sales person told about the company giving away free "Car Phones" when mobile phones were new and the rage.....everyone wanted one. Yes, indeed, you did get a free car phone....it was a phone that looked like a car. We got a great laugh out of that one! But I digess.....

No more island. Now we have an elevated walkway, which by the way is a very pleasant walk at night.

Elevated Walkways - They Do Meander and Are Convenient
We happen to be big fans of the elevated walkways. They are a convenient way for us to get anywhere on the property. Its fun because we never know who you will meet or what we will see. In addition, there are many ways to get from point A to point B, which makes life very interesting. That said, there are many visitors and guests who simply are unable to use these walkways for any number of reasons. The golf cart trains are very good and necessary alternatives.

Looking East From The Gand Bliss - June 2014



There are two walkways from the Santuario to the Luxxe Towers - one the goes across the bridge from the Santuario to the Luxxe Towers and the other is the walkway that leads to the Mayan Palace and La Plaza. Variety....

Luxxe Towers - Construction of Tower V is Moving Along - Also Bliss?
Tower 4 B and Tower 5 are the two remaining towers under construction on the Nuevo Vallarta Grand Luxxe Residence Club property. Tower 5 is supposed to open during the first quarter of 2015, although we did see someone state the Residence units would be open by November 9, 2014. Not sure about that claim. Also, there does not seem to be much going on in Tower 4 B or the remaining Loft Residence units. Hopefully sales will increase so crews can finish these units.

Units in Tower 5 - Starting on First Floor - June 2014



Note the corner unit on the first floor of the right side of Tower V: Could the completion process work from the top up this time? It has been from the top down in the other towers.
name
Bliss or Grand Bliss or Mayan Palace

This building may be a Bliss, since Bliss contracts are being sold. But there are no Bliss units to use.....yet.

Changes to the Golf Courses
Boots on the Ground #1 said there would be an expanded parking area that extends into the golf course and cause hole reconfiguration. Well, he was right. Dale's photos clearly show activity out there. Dale had this to say:
They are taking out hole 2 and building a new check in building to make the first impression even better. At least that's what they say today but believe that will be the case.
We know the project architect has thought through the expansion and the new addition will be fully integrated into the project.

The second photo shows a glimpse of the new Greg Norman course that is under construction. The third shows the new 18th hole. Rumor still persists - the Golf Pro Shop - in Tower 5?

Back of the House Tour - More to Come
We have seen others post their photos of the Back of the House Tour. What we see never ceases to amaze. Not sure if Dale took the tour on a day after everyone was off for a couple of days or what. But, can you imagine the volume of luandry that has to be cared for every day? Amazing!!

The Santuario - December 4, 2014
Dale said changes to the stages were under way. However, the nightly performances continued. Also, even though there is music into the night, there do not seem to be as many complaints now. That's a good sign!!

Santuario - Dec 4 2013


Terrific update, Dale. Thank you from all of us. It will be fun to see the changes that have taken place in November.
