Los Sueños Bulletin
Looking Behind
We've just finished a busy season -- chock full of yoga groups and wonderful guests. About half of our guests now are regulars, having been here at least once before. Some, now, are on third and fourth visits. We're happy to see old friends climbing the stairs to the main house, coming back for another round of Yelapa magic. Next year will be even busier, judging from the advance bookings ... so, if you think you might like to come, please enquire early! We hate to disappoint with the words, "I'm sorry, there's no vacancy when you want to come."
Looking Ahead
We've just finished a significant upgrade to all of the roofs on the property! Imagine custom cut and fitted industrial tarps draped over all of the thatch to extend the life of the roofs. Then imagine hundreds of palms cut high up in the mountains and carried down, strapped to horses, six to a side. After the work of delivery, they then all need to be fastened to the roofs, covering the tarps, to provide protection from the summer rains and the year-round sunshine and ultraviolet damage. A big project, but thanks to our wonderful crew it went well. Special credit to Shannon and Hector, who took turns overseeing the project. Let it rain (but please, mostly in August and September)!
...And even Further Ahead!
We've had wonderful support from our visitors. In fact, so many of them have already reserved for their return in the 2011-2012 season that availability at certain times is already very tight. If you want to visit us in the new season, the time to inquire is now.
Beat Those January Blues
Come on down -- but reserve now!
There is a full slate of yoga retreats and programs already scheduled for 2012. Please contact Judith at www.yogainyelapa.com for further information.
Weddings
We had a wonderful time hosting weddings, special birthdays (60 now, Rob?) and family reunions in 2010-11. We think the guests did too! If you're thinking ahead to a destination wedding, now is the time to make the inquiries, before your special dates are taken. We can host up to 20 guests in our rooms, and we can work with other Yelapa businesses to provide space for many more. Casa Principal is ideally suited for receptions and dinners as well, and we can help you to arrange that perfect event.

Money
Remember, there are no ATMs in Yelapa. Bank machines are plentiful in Puerto Vallarta, and fees are reasonable. However, occasionally guests will find that their debit cards have not been activated for international use. If you have not travelled recently and aren't sure, check with your bank.
New, young, bilingual doctor provides services at the clinic, Centro de Salud , only 3 gates down from us. We hope that you have no need to visit him, but it's great to know he's there!
