After a week visit to Mazatlan in July, we went home and decided to buy a condo at Serena Residences.

We arrived in Mazatlan, December 12th to spend the winter and watch our condo be built. We love; the weather, friendly Mexicans, the food, hiking and biking, reasonable cost of living, a large choice of events and activities, good fishing, walks on the beach and gorgeous sunsets.

Most importantly, the personal attention from Jorge, Martha and the entire Portus team at Serena. All questions are answered and input is valued. We have been treated like family.

Just yesterday I had the chance to enjoy a sport fishing trip, met another Serena owner Bill from Vancouver, caught a few grouper and look forward to future trips with the Serena sport fishing members.

Finally, the condos look great, the workmanship excellent and it looks way ahead of schedule. The Marina view is great; the golf course is really shaping up. All of this has made us very excited and grateful to be retiring in Mazatlan and for choosing to be a part of Serena Marina experience. We truly are two gringos in paradise.
