I’m encouraged to see so many comments critical of uncontrolled 5-star development. Like many others, I travel to Mexico to enjoy its natural beauty and unique culture, and prefer a more bohemian experience that allows interaction with locals over a pampered cookie-cutter resort. These developments offer only the most menial opportunities for local residents while straining infrastructure and degrading the environment.

Thanks for an informative read.
I remember visiting in 1982. dirt streets and the Flamingo golf course.
Their is no excuse for draining raw sewage into the sea.
This needs to highlighted, prioritized, and fixed.

Saulita has been ruined for 10 years. It is not something new. Sorry. The sewage problem is so real that we wont swim in the whole coast for the most part. We are seeing some change Saulita has simple treatment and a long pipe out into the ocean. Sewage is a mexican problem. In Lake Chapala where I live all the sewage is treated at the secondary level which is less than most of the USA and Canada. We are lucky to have any treatment.

Astounding that a credible news organisation such as Mexico News Daily should publish a gushing, uncritical account without examining the wider issues at play such as the ramifications these developments impose on the environment and the wider community. Must do better, please. Your credibility is at stake.

You sound like you think all this development is a good thing. Have you even considered asking the people who live in those areas what they think about it? Please consider being more of an English-language newspaper with real news rather than advertisements we would find in the living section of any paper.

Absolutely critical that such an expansion be accompanied by major infrastructure enhancements, including sewage and water. Don’t wreck the unique charm and vibe of Sayulita.
