New Map of Platanitos
In the last two issues of our newsletter, we featured five beautiful vacation rental homes in the resort communities of Playa Las Tortugas and Punta el Custodio, both of which are located near the town of Platanitos about an hour north of Rincon de Guayabitos. Unfortunately, our newly designed map didn't make the deadline because of a small programming glitch. The map is now up and it looks great (if we do say so ourselves).
View our new interactive Map of Platanitos now. You can hover over the icons to read about each of these rental homes.
