This is the first time Grupo Autofin Monterrey has made inroads into the tourism industry. The group chose the Riviera Nayarit thanks to its many natural attractions, as well as its growth as a national and international tourism destination.

It also boasts four gourmet restaurants and snack bar, a spa, beach club, gym, a linear park, a kid's club, botanical garden, two pools and two yachts for guests.

The second stage of the Grand Sirenis Matlali will be right on the beach to one side of the Marina Riviera Nayarit in the area where Eva Mandarina, the beach club designed by renowned Guadalajara-based artist Abel Galvan, is located. The new development will represent an investment of US$28.5 million and is expected to open with 140 suites on December 1, 2017.

Grupo Autofin Monterrey's future plans for the Puerto Bahía tourist center include several hotels from different chains, residential properties, a golf course, a hospital, a clinic for anti-aging treatments, a school specializing in hospitality and tourism, and a shopping mall, among other amenities and entertainment attractions to be set on 320 hectares in addition to the Grand Sirenis Matlali's 30.
