This is a classic Mexican resort. It was not a new state-of-the-art resort with all the glitz, but one that was reminiscent of an earlier time. I was reminded of a resort that would have been a shining star in the ‘40s or ‘50s. It may have been built in the ‘60s, but it had a feeling of romance and it was just an awesome place to stay. The rooms were marvelous. They had large bedrooms, large living rooms, and kitchens. The living room had a large glass Venetian accordion door that opened on a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean. We left our balcony window open almost all the time and enjoyed the ocean breezes.
In the evening, you could hear the mariachi band playing downstairs in the lounge, and it was festive and restorative. It was just a fun-filled, glorious time in the sun. The hotel restaurant was excellent. The staff was very hospitable and encouraged us to sight-see and gave us information on taking the bus into town.
The bus costs about US$.10 to ride the bus to town. The shops were fun to visit and in certain areas you needed to be careful of the vendors. I did get tricked into buying some fake silver jewelry, so you need to be aware. Some of the vendors are very nice and tried to warn me away from the vendors that would take advantage of the American tourists . . . we learned the hard way, I’m afraid. We came home with some great memories. We really enjoyed going to the end of the road to Tomatlan for the day -- we played in the sea and ate at the outside cabana for dinner. It was an excellent vacation! I am uncertain about the room price as we came in on our RCI weeks.
