Good to knowThe marina, golf course, beach club, beach and restaurants are part of the Puerta Cortés community, not of the residences. They are operated independently, are a short distance from the residences, and their use, services and reservations carry an additional cost. Our team is happy to help you plan them before or during your stay.
