HIGHLY LIKELY TO RECOMMEND

So happy to have met John! He was a referral for an area I knew very little about. He was so informative, knowledgeable and patient with me! We looked at various areas and he advised me what was best to purchase.. He had contacts to help with finding a loan and even vendors to help with remodeling. Hopefully someday I will able to upgrade and I will call John to help. You will be very happy with his service!

- Alanna N.

John was attentive, responsive, and took the time to understand (and find!) exactly what we were looking for. He made the process smooth and painless and helped us, as first time home buyers, make sure we were on top of things every step of the way. Definitely recommend.

- Sophia B.

John is always a pleasure to work with. Great communicator and attitude, extremely knowledgeable in the field with an expansive network of professionals. This is our third real estate transaction with John and we highly recommend his services.

- Nancy R.

I’ve worked with John Ackert buying and selling my residential and commercial properties for the past two years. John is personable, experienced and highly knowledgeable in the San Diego real estate market. He has always obtained top dollar and I will only work with John Ackert and his team in the future.

- Sarah Y.

This is the second home we bought and sold with John’s services. We bought our first home with him over twenty years ago and he’s stayed in touch with us ever since. He knows San Diego like the back of his hand. We gave John our list of likes and dislikes and he found us wonderful homes to choose from. We decided to sell our house this past month and couldn’t have been happier with his service. We are out of state, and John told us to relax as he would take care of everything. The house needed some landscaping work and some interior handyman work. He has a long list of service providers that he can use to get your home in top shape to get the best price. We will continue to use John’s services for our every real estate need. You cannot do better than John Ackert.

- Greg Z.

- Peter F.

My wife and I have known John for more than 24 years and when it came time to sell our home, John was the only choice I considered to sell the house he found for us 23 years ago. He was diligent, informative and responsive to our questions and concerns. John was with us every step of the way of our transaction. If you are looking to work with a realtor you can trust, I would not hesitate to use his services again.

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.

Mexico’s Pacific coast, within the Riviera Nayarit, Naviva located at the northern tip of Bahía de Banderas on the same peninsula as Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita and just 45 minutes Puerto Vallarta International Airport.

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.

Tending to the Mind, Body and Soul

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.

Connecting with Others

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.

Finding Your Place

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.
