Seaview Properties in Playa del Carmen


Laura Zapata, owner of Seaview Properties in Playa del Carmen, is staying ahead in the local real estate market. 

Laura Zapata, originally from South Texas, moved here 11 years ago from the Dallas area. While owning a real estate business was not her reason for moving to Playa del Carmen, it was something she kept in the back of her mind. With a background in marketing and accounting in the United States she decided to move to the then relatively unknown and undiscovered Rivera Maya. She was hired by a local real estate office and spent the next 3 years in real estate sales and management. During this time she learned the language and embraced the steep learning curve of doing business in a foreign country.

Kool and The Gang put on one heck of a show at Mamita's Beach in Playa del Carmen. 

Kool and The Gang were one of the last performers of the 4th Annual Riviera Maya Jazz Festival, and they played to a jam packed audience on Friday night. Even though they have been around since the 1970's, and have gone through various member changes, their funky, jazz, R and B sound never gets old to their fans. With the sounds of "Ladies Night", "Celebration", "Jungle Boogie", and "Get Down On It" the crowd was dancing to the groove of Kool and The Gang. How can you go wrong with funky Rand B on the Caribbean? Answer: You can't! Check out the pictures below....

  The Bomberos in Playa del Carmen

The Bomberos have had a fantastic year, and 2007 looks to be even more promising. 

 Hola a todo! We are having a great 2006. On November 15th we had a ceremony at the fire house, with the Patronado Bomberos de la Riviera Maya and Foundacion Bomberos Civil Protection Quintana Roo I.A.P. in attendance. Two sets of keys were passed on to our Mayor; one set to an ambulance donated to the Patronado by Calica, and a second set of keys to our new Rescue boat. This boat is truly one of a kind at 29 feet long with twin motors loaded with rescue gear and paramedic supplies; this boat is very high tech and we have been working on it for the past year. Claudio Curioni, of Sea Life Divers, has donated many hours to overseeing this project, and it has been supported by many of our local dive shops as well. So thank you to Tank-Ha Dive Shop, Go Cenote, and Extreme Marina, good job the boat is beautiful!

If that isn't enough reason to celebrate 20 years in Playa del Carmen then I am not sure what is.
