try this http://www.troncones.com.mx/manzanillo/.
Very mellow, like 100 bucks a night, great left point right out in front. Half hour north from Xtapa.
Way better than Xtapa. It is very hot this time of year though and mosquitos.
Went in march. perfect !

Was there last fall. Actually Zihuatanejo. It is great. We were on a cruise and wished we could have stayed. My wife wants to retire there. Take some pics and post when you get back. Have a great time.

Thanks for the info....I was on the web for 2 hours last night researching the area! :rollside:Found this site & told my hunny about it. Bringing the kids...is this a good place?

I went last July to the Club Med there. Was the most HUMID place I have ever been to. Lots to do, and the kids dug it. No clue on the surfing though. We did fish and got a nice sail fish.

Never a good idea to take an old Fawker with a bum knee to a beach community :crossx:
Scooters and walkers don't work that well in the sand!!;)

That and his black leather jackets with firebird emblems on the beach isn't cool either. :crossx:

I went and stayed at the Westin.
I caught Leptospirosis and died.
Actually, it was great.
Like Hawaii, but hotter and nobody speaks English. Beautiful, lush jungle like flora, and the people are very nice.
Skip Isla Mujeres, though. I got stuck paying $80 for lunch there....
The cab ride from the airport to Ixtapa is very windy and steep. Wife got car sick (maybe Leptospirosis? :rolleyes: ) blew chunks all over the taxi. :yuk:
Thanks

Hey there Kelly. Get back to work. Yup "ZZ-wat" is a good place to go.
The ocean leg of that race is very rough on the body.
