Lots of Changes to Jaltemba Bay Life
and Jaltemba Bay Folk
|
During the next several weeks, we will be making our annual summer website changes and updates. Stay tuned for these and other fun improvements and additions:
UPDATE: Improved Deal & $pecials
We have totally overhauled our Deals & $pecials options. Users can now sort current deals and specials by price (low to high), expiration date, location, recommendations and name of rental. Hotel and rental owners can now add up to two deals at once and they can be offered for a longer period of time. If you haven't already booked a place to stay next season, our Deals & $pecials page is a great place to start. View Current Deals!
We announced the following changes in the last issue:
NEW: Live Forum Chat
Forum members can now interact with one another instantly via the new real-time chatroom on Jaltemba Bay Folk. In addition to a public chatroom, members can also initiate a one-on-one private chat with other online members on our forum. Click on the "Chat" tab to get started. Read MoreNEW: Home and Business Owner Discussion Forum
Based on an abundance of feedback, we have gone ahead and created a private subforum on Jaltemba Bay Folk for residents, homeowners and business owners. This is a place where residents and owners can have open and productive discussions about the sewer, water, healthcare, press and other issues that affect those of us who have a vested interest in our community. Read More
NEW: Translation Tool
In the last issue, we mentioned that users can now translate the entire Jaltemba Bay Life website from English to Spanish or French -- and now, you can do it on our blog too! Yep, you asked and we listened.
UPDATE: Weather Station and Rental Buttons
You may have noticed that the rental and weather station buttons have disappeared from Jaltemba Bay Life. You can now find our Hotel & Vacation Rental Directory under the grey "Where To Stay" tab. The new weather button will move to it's new location in a few weeks. In the meantime, you can access our live local weather page via the "Weather" tab.
There are even more changes to come. If you can think of anything else you'd like to see implemented, please let us know!

Chacala Boats
by Tosia Archer

The gentle thumping and knocking of boats tied up at the Chacala Marina's wharf was to me a soothing and tranquil sound. I also loved how the water undulated around and under the boats creating ever changing patterns and reflections. Small, colourful fish darted back and forth underneath the boats... Read More |

Majahua Hotel Selva offers comfort in the jungle at the south end of Chacala Beach
by Lorenzo Armendaris at México Desconocido
|  |
Majahua Hotel Selva in Chacala was featured in a recent article on MexicoDesconocido.com. The article, entitled "Vive la Riviera Nayarita. Sus playas, sus escenarios... su paz," was written by Lorenzo Armendaris and describes the 160 miles of amazing shoreline in Riviera Nayarit. Sr. Armendaris begins his journey at this lovely little hotel nestled into the jungle on the sound end of Chacala...
Carmen and Jose welcomed us to their home. Majahua is more than a hotel, it is a life project. We left Guadalajara very early, and three hours later we found ourselves in Chacala, the closest beach to the city. We decided to stay in the town of Chacala because it is in the middle of the Riviera Nayarit and Majahua. Read More
