By Heron Real Estate | May 2026 If you have spent any time researching Playa del Carmen real estate, you have come across Playacar — and likely a wall of Playacar homes for sale described, in turns, as "premier," "unrivaled," and "singular." That language tells you nothing about what it is like to own there, what you get for the price, or who the neighborhood suits. Most content about Playacar is...
By Heron Real Estate | May 2026 Most guides to Riviera Maya golf are written for the visitor booking a tee time, not the buyer considering a home beside the course. This one is for the buyer. It covers the courses worth knowing, which residential communities are built around them, and the part the booking sites skip entirely: what golf-course ownership costs and means on this coast, and where it adds...
Written by Jana Mihalikova, Founder & Managing Director of Heron Real Estate. Published May 2026. You've been to a presentation. Maybe two.

Every restaurant from the inaugural year retained its distinction in the second — a quiet vote of confidence that, in Michelin's...
By Heron Real Estate · May 2026 The question arrives in every first conversation: Tulum or Playa del Carmen? It is the most common real estate query in the Riviera Maya, and the answer is never the same twice — because the right market depends entirely on how you intend to use the property, how long you plan to hold it, and what you value in a daily environment. Both cities sit on the same...

The Riviera Maya Coast Before It Fills In By Heron Real Estate | April 2026 | Last updated: April 2026 Xpu-Ha Beach: There is a stretch of the Riviera Maya coast that most visitors drive past on their way between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. It does not have a hotel zone. It does not have a Fifth Avenue. It does not appear on the itineraries of most tour operators. What it has is four kilometers...
By Heron Real Estate | April 2026 | Last updated: April 2026 If you have spent any time researching Tulum real estate in the past twelve months, you have likely come across Region 15.
