After 12 years in PV I can assure you the hotel companies and condo developers Never pay for infrastructure. It a huge problem in Puerto Vallarta. They come in and build these big resorts and condominium developments and literally destroy the streets and natural beauty of the tropical area. After they sell out they take their profits they leave town. It really sad to see.

I have lived in the Lakes area near San Juan Cosala with its chain of restaurants on the lake shore. It was a one-time event when I smelled and saw sewage floating on the water, I decided never to go back to the Guadalajaran-visited restaurants. Years ago the infrastructure could not handle the people showing up from Guad. The local people know where to get good food. One extraordinary choice is “Viva Mexico.”

Totally agree re Lake Chapala. Anywhere development outstrips infrastructure, we have to ask where is the water coming from and where is the used water going.
And how much more traffic can the roads take?

Just what Lake Chapala needs, another water suckng elite hotel in San Juan Cosala. How about some low cost wayer efficient homes instead

Would love to see a concerted effort to clean up Lake Chapala as a consequence; this would be a boon to many of the smaller lakeside communities, their health and fishing.

In reply to LoveMexico.

You are absolutely correct. All developers anywhere in Mexico must pay a deposit up front for infrastructure improvements to roads, electrical utility lines, water system and sewage plants and trash dumps.

It all looks good. Let’s hope they get these hotels to pay to improve and expand all the infrastructure. In and around Lake Chapala the infrastructure is already heavily over taxed. Raw sewage running into the lake, power outages and horrible roads/sidewalks are the norm.
