Party Like a President in Puerto Vallarta
French Presidnt Sarkozy and his actress-model wife made international headlines today with the news of their lavish vacation at El Tamarindo, a luxury resort just south of Puerto Vallarta. Invited by Mexican president Felipe Calderon and his wife, the French couple spent two nights in total secrecy. A longtime enclave of discreet decadence, breathtaking real estate and exquisite geography, the Puerto Vallarta region is weathering the global economic downturn better than most, including neighbors like Cabo.
Clients of Vallarta-based home furnishings brand CRATE by Carlos Alberto seek out this private region while trading down from the expense of the Hamptons or the hassle of trekking to the Caribbean. Attractive pricing and high season flights from Los Angeles, New York and the midwest provide a welcome alternative in this turbulent economy.
