As you have probably noticed, the Yucatan is flat, making a mountain setting with an ocean view a rare thing. The west coast of Mexico would offer more possibilities of that nature. Please be sure that you really want to be near the ocean and the heat and humidity of the coasts. Most expats seem to settle in the interior highlands, between 5000 and 7000 feet above sea level, with the highest concentration at Lake Chapala (close to the Guadalajara airport with direct flights to Houston).
Thanks for the quick response. We live on a lake in a community with Tennis and other activities. My wife was interested in the ocean but i think if i could find an area in the mountains with some waterfront or waterview that would work. Aside from the Progresso area I'm only familiar with the resort areas.
