Why stop at Mrida? Carrie Regan, executive producer for HGTVs House Hunters International, Mexico Life, and Caribbean Life, shares other hot spots to buy a vacation home now.

I love getting in programs weve shot there because the architecture is so cool, with homes on hills with ocean views and thatched roofs. Its known as a surfing destination with a thriving culinary scene.

We have a lot of buyers these days for Puerto Rico. I think thats because its a US commonwealth, so people dont have to worry about buying outside the US, the politics, or value of the dollar. Plus, given its current economy, there are bargains to be had.

Its known as one of the least expensive places in the Caribbean to scuba dive and get certified. Some of the properties you can only get to by boat, so its very rustic and off the grid. And you can buy a plot of land for under $100,000 and build a dream home.

Mahahual still has that charm you find along the Mayan Riviera. Its a place to get in early and get some deals. Weve had people tour two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes a short distance from the beach for under $200,000 and fixer-uppers for less than half that. (People can experience the vicarious thrill of owning one of these pieces of paradise by tuning in to the season premiere of Mexico Life on June 4 at 9 and 9:30 p.m. on HGTV.)
