Arrecife Development S. A. de C.V. is a Minnesota/Mexico Corporation operating Travel Treasures Real Estate on the Riviera Maya in the seaside village of Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, just 20 minutes south of Cancun.

Six years ago when I arrived here we were banking on an increase in consumer interest in this region, which is now the largest tourism area of Mexico. The Riviera Maya is responsible for 48% of all tourism dollars in Mexico. We also specialize in beachfront property in the hottest new investment spot of Mahahual in the Costa Maya region south of Tulum.

Three major hurricanes and a world recession later we are still here. The only difference is that 6 years later we are no longer wondering - we know for sure the value, the potential and the return on investments. The world can change daily but the second largest barrier reef in the world, stretching down the longest coastline in the Caribbean, exists regardless of the Nasdaq, the DOW or the NEKKI.

Successful foreign investment takes:
Correct information,
the right people around you, and
a bit of creativity.
