Owners, Bill & Amy Welch

My husband Bill and I built CASA PAROTA in 1996.

We scoured the area from Mismaloya to Litibu looking for property that was near boating.  Little did we know then that this north area of Banderas Bay was to become Riviera Nayarit and THE up-and-coming area of Puerto Vallarta. 

We are delighted with our investment and the infrastructure that is rapidly arriving to the La Cruz area. 

The new La Cruz marina was dedicated in 2010 by Mexican President Felipe Calderon.  The marina is first class with all the amenities of any marina in the world - shipyard, restaurants, fresh fish market, and charters. 

We used to travel to Puerto Vallarta regularly for dinner, now we have many lovely places to dine and hear live music.
