Boca de Iguanas Hotel Opens

Last year I wrote about the Boca de Iguanas project in Mexico which includes both residences and a hotel. Now the small boutique hotel is open for business. The 12-room Costalegre beach boutique hotel has rooms which are named for nature but also reflect their unique characteristics: the "Selva Suite" (meaning jungle) has an outdoor soaking Jacuzzi tub next to a mangrove estuary, "Palmas" overlooks a stand of coconut palms, "Agua" has an oversized Jacuzzi tub and "Noche" features a spiral wooden staircase leading to a terrace and bed for sleeping under the stars. There is also a beach club with an infinity edge swimming pool, and an al fresco restaurant and bar. Future pans include rustic cabanas hidden in the hills and a holistic wellness spa. Also, each Thursday night features a bonfire with full bar service and canvas folding chairs with blankets. Guests can also join the onsite biologist during turtle season (October to March) during her nightly patrols of the Boca de Iguanas beach to help recover and relocate sea turtle eggs to the turtle camp. The resort also has a wine cave, an organic fruit and vegetable garden and a community herb garden. Rates start at $240 per night and include breakfast each day and happy hour cocktails.

Boca De Iguanas More Eco Building In Mexico

We are back to Mexico for a look at another growing development. This one, Boca de Iguanas is located 40 minutes north of Manzanillo International Airport along the Costalegre on Mexico's Pacific Coast. The development features 20 single family homes, 60 condos, a beach club, restaurant and a boutique hotel on 18 acres of beach real estate.

The boutique hotel is set to open in the fall and is home to 10 suites with contemporary Mexican design and 40 rustic cabanas hidden in the hills. The Alma spa, a holistic wellness spa featuring healing therapies and yoga is planned for next spring.

Like other resort developments we have seen, Boca de Igaunas, which is the first mixed-use project for Moksa Development, a Mexican corporation under the guidance of Californian Robert M. Oveson, has an eco angle. The gated community plans to utilize alternative clean energy sources including ndividual solar power arrays for electricity and solar heated water for each home and underground utilities, all situated around a rmangrove ecosystem that flows through the property. The mangrove ecosystem helps prevent soil erosion and is nesting and shelter for a variety of animals. The community also has gray water recycling systems and an onsite sewage treatment plant.

The stand-alone "green" homes start at 3,000 sq. ft. and $375,000 and there are both full ownership and fractional ownership (1/6th shares) available.
