VIDANTA EARLY BIRD MEETS THE MIRACLE CREW AT BURGER CUSTOM MADE

The Miracle Crew of Burger Custom Made, Nuevo Vallarta: Rafael Aguirre, Alan, Eric, and Victor. A winning team.

Every Five Diamond resort has a miracle crew, the people who make it all happen day after day, and make it look so easy. You have to look hard to find them, or be a Vidanta early bird.

This crew was busy setting up, busy like a NASCAR pit crew. Professionals one and all, not a weak link in the Burger Custom Made chain. That’s how it looked.

And that’s how Vidanta looked. One spectacular view after another, each art space flowing to the next. Every public space is an art space at Vidanta. Not a weak link in the chain.

The Burger Custom Made guys’ precision fit the property where acres of teak deck and walk ways are fastened with that tricky edge nail, millions of them. No screw holes marring the surface of this beautiful expanse of jungle hardwood.

Railing along parts of the miles of walk ways are connected by screws with every hole counter sunk and plugged. An impressive display of precision labor even if there’s a machine involved.

From pool to luxury pool, veranda to spacious veranda, all the way to elegant room service, uniformed staff members balanced their jobs and their heart-touch salute. Right hand over left upper chest.

While you’re at Vidanta you’ll catch yourself saluting back at least once.

While the massive grounds are an easy place to get lost, it’s about to get even easier. The road to Puerto Vallarta passes by the next expansion, which answers a few pressing questions.

The trick to this sort of property development is digging down then building up. Excavate for ponds, golf courses, and roads, plant loads of tropical vegetation for view blocking borders, then build walk ways and pedestrian bridges over the electric cart transportation network.

Make sure the walk ways are curved. Even in a busy time you’ll feel alone. With seven thousand on staff, bumped to ten thousand during the holidays according to people at check in, alone is hard to imagine.

Vidanta did it all, and more, down to the last man.
