Limoncito Resort

Limoncito sounds like a refreshing drink but it's actually a luxury 58-room condo-hotel planned for Punta Leona, Costa Rica. We've mentioned the area of Punta Leona before (check out the gallery below); it's located 90 minutes from San Jose and is an established, gated community of Punta Leona that has served as a private beach club. The resort community has three Bandera Azul (Blue Flag-rated) beaches, one of which boasts the only Four-Star designation in the country. Limoncito will be located above Limoncito Beach and will include six buildings set into the hillside with access to the beach cove via secluded trails. On these trails, jungle "ranchos" will placed along viewpoints on the trail for meditation, morning coffee and yoga. Amenities will include multiple swimming pools, a natural waterfall , Jacuzzis, hammocks, and outdoor decks and terraces. The one and two-bedroom suites will be priced from $250,000 – 850,000.

Trump Heads To Baja

Just call him Señor Trump. Donald Trump and Irongate are building a large new resort, Trump Ocean Resort Baja Mexico, a co-tel project located in North Baja, Mexico just 20 minutes from San Diego. It's big news because it represents the first condo-hotel project to hit the Baja peninsula. The large hotel will include the type of luxuries usually found in Cabo San Lucas but often in short supply further up the peninsula such as owner's concierge, a lobby bar & lounge, a pool house bar & café and a fine dining restaurant, an infinity edge resort pool, and lap and family pools, a spa, a fitness center, tennis courts, and walking trails. Prices for the studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences will start in the mid-$200s and construction is scheduled to begin in late 2006 with the completion of the first tower scheduled for late 2008. It's not the first upscale resort we have seen planned for the area but once the Trump rolls into town an area officially loses its chance to remain relatively undiscovered.
