How to Get Into & Out of Hot Water at Lake Chapala Ajijic, Mexico

How to Get Into & Out of Hot Water at Lake Chapala Ajijic, Mexico

First, the good way to get into hot water here at Lake Chapala Ajijic , Mexico is to go to the small Mexican village of San Juan Cosala which lies on the North shore of Lake Chapala, Mexico between the Ajijic and Jocotepec.

This area has natural thermal hot water from deep within the earth. Some of the homes in the upscale community nearby, “The Raquet Club” even have thermal water piped right to their home so they always have hot water at the ready for household use… and it’s free.

Down in the village of San Juan Cosala you’ll find a number of spas, pools, restaurants and all types of massages to sooth away any aches and pains you may have or just to make you feel totally relaxed and at peace with the World.

Here’s a video of just one of them.

There’s something for everyone at this place.

Massages include Relaxing, Deep Tissue, Thai, Hot Stones, Lovers, 4 Hands, Shoulder and Neck , Feet and Hawaiian.

Do you crave even more luxury for a lot less than it would cost up North. Why not indulge in a

Manicure, Pedicure, a body wrap, facial or all four.

No need to go elsewhere for lunch because Ruben’s Grill restaurant is located inside the premises of Villa Bordeaux.

Now here’s a tip: The various “balnearios”  are quite competitive and can be a little eager to convince you their place is the best one.

So, while I just mentioned the one place you may want to shop around a little to choose the one that suits you best. They’re all grouped pretty much together and  you can walk from one to another until you find the one you like best.

The Bad Way to Get Into Hot Water

Now, here’s the kind of “hot water” you want to stay away from!  Using unaffiliated real estate offices.

Best to use  a real estate firm which is a member of GIL (Our professional local Realtor group) which has a written and enforced Code of Ethics and is associated with the National Board of Realtors in the USA, and which provides regular training to its Realtor members, and whose members are all also members of AMPI (Mexico’s National Professional Realtor Group).

There’s no government licensing of real estate agents in Mexico so Buyer Beware is in order.

I suggest that you take your caution one very important step further however and find  an Exclusive Buyers Only Realtor representative like yours truly.

You see, 99.9% of our GIL Realtors are dual agents and represent both buyers and sellers.

I’m a reformed dual agent. I was never comfortable trying to represent both buyer and seller, even though I dutifully tried to be fair to both.

I found that I was uncomfortable with the built in conflict of interest… so I switched to an Exclusive Buyer’s Only Realtor Representative.

Yes, I gave up the potential to earn double the amount I might have earned, but…

I find that my clients are much better served now and I feel much better about helping them and can pour all my knowledge, experience and energy into helping them and being their advocate.

The Seller has their Agent. You Should Have Yours !
