From a very young age my parents taught me the importance of hard work, humility and consistency.
As result, I earned an academic and basketball scholarship from the University of Puerto Rico, where I completed my bachelor’s degree in business administration. Those experiences lead me to an opportunity to play Professional Women’s Basketball in Puerto Rico for two seasons. Today I am a proud Wife and Mother of three.
My interest in Real Estate also begins at a young age. Growing up on construction sites and watching my father develop beautiful homes inspired me to become a Real Estate Professional.
My business priority is to represent Sellers and Buyers int he purchase and sale of homes while consistently upholding the highest ethical and professional standards in the industry. My work ethic insures that every client receives an extraordinary service.
Bianca, just sold our home for our asking price. That should in itself be enough to select her as your agent for any realty needs. However, we must add that we highly recommend her, as Bianca and her Team were very responsive, professional and experts in all aspects of the selling process. She is an expert negotiator not only with the other agents on purchase price, but also with any other expenses that may come in the preparation to list your home to closing escrow such as staging, clearances or request from the buyers. We give Bianca our highest recommendation as we have now used her to buy a home and to sell a home for us. Thank you Team Mendez. -user83551212
Bianca is a persistent, friendly and positive realtor. Always on the ball, and consistent in every aspect of her work. She carried herself in a very professional manner, and remained calm and collected in each situation. We loved working with Bianca, and can say we were not her easiest clients by far! Would recommend her to anyone.
-Brandalyndesigns“Bianca and her team sold our beautiful home for a good price when a previous realtor couldn't get the job done under changing market circumstances. Bianca was a polished professional throughout the process. She was extremely patient even though we were demanding customers. Bianca went above and beyond and took it upon herself to be more than a realtor...she was always available, responsive, honest, and took care of our home even after we moved out of San Diego for school and work. We trusted her even though we were 2,000 miles away which says a lot! She and her team would regularly check on our home and resolved every issue that arose throughout the process with poise and unending support.

Glamping hasn’t lost its luster. According to a report by Allied Research, the global glamping market generated $2.68 in 2021, and is projected to reach $7.11 billion by 2031.

rituals. Local talents will also be brought in to bring the authentic character and heritage of Mexico to Naviva, whether it’s visiting a local artist at his private home and studio or something more, unconventional, like nocturnal forest bathing.
Traditional hotel wellness offerings get a Naviva twist too. Naviva offers a series of intimate spaces including two spa pods tucked away in the lush forest, a traditional Mexican temazcal or “house of heat,” an outdoor gym, a serene jungle oasis at the Alma Pool and a private 575-foot (175-meter) expanse of pristine Pacific beachfront – a calming place to practice yoga or mindfulness. An example: if guests are looking for a shift in internal energy, they can take a half-day retreat in one of the cocoon-like spa pods that were inspired by the seed of the local Ceiba tree and provide cocooned refuge. All holistic rituals at Naviva harness the healing properties of indigenous ingredients, from regenerative reishi and hydrating snow mushrooms to natural gemstones and colored clays found throughout Mexico. And guests will have a chance to tend to their physical body as well, with cliffside yoga sessions, scenic hiking and running trails, or strength training in the outdoor open-air gym overlooking the Pacific.
Guests will have their choice of dining options as well. There’s a unique shared gathering space that’s meant to evoke the feeling of being in a living room and kitchen of a private home overlooking the Pacific, with games, reading, conversation, ideas, music and all-natural meals (with a focus on seafood) made with traditional BBQ pits, wood-fire grill rotisseries and wood-fire ovens.
The luxury tents at Naviva start at $3,950 USD per night and include all meals and snacks at any time of the day throughout the Resort, 24-hour in-tent dining, pool and beach service, all beverages including premium wine and spirits, one 60-minute spa treatment per guest, community activities, mind and body classes, Unscripted Naviva experiences, guide planning and intent amenities. Signature Naviva experiences, rare or specialtyordered beverages, additional spa treatments, private classes or training, and airport transfers are available for an additional cost. As part of their booking, Naviva guests also receive full access to the adjacent Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, located just five minutes away. The Resort features ten restaurants and bars, two golf courses, three pools, two beaches and additional spa and fitness facilities.
