Tenecatita


"Costalegre" is about 30 miles north of Manzanillo and about 130 miles south of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I doubt that many of you have been to this area unless you visited the now shuttered Club Med Playa Blanca. This area is a popular haunt for ocean sailors and motor cruisers because there are so many beautiful remote ports and natural harbors. We met some of these boaters this trip-probably dot-com'rs who sold their shares before the bubble burst and now live in paradise half of every year along this beautiful "Happy Coast*".

I made this long weekend trip, not quite four days, along with 12 other travel agents. For those planning next year's beach vacation now would be the perfect time of year to visit this part of the Pacific coast of Mexico. The rains stopped some weeks ago and the weather is absolutely beautiful right now. Day time temps. in the low 80's with mild evenings which allow for the offing of the A/C and cracking the slider for an all night wave assisted lullaby.

Some photos: Our resort, the all-inclusive Blue Bay Los Arcos Locos, Tenecatita was modest in appearance and cost, ($120-$160 PER ROOM, per night includes all meals, liquor, shows, EVEN the excursions etc.), with I think the most beautiful beach I've walked or run on, ever. Over looking the water from Blue Bay's sister property, Punta Serena,($370/room/night, all-inclusive). This is an upscale 24 unit, clothing optional very intimate boutique hotel I would highly recommend to my more free spirited friends and clients, (and you know who you are...:)). Punta Serena's "infiniti pool". Finally, dinner at Arrecife, the nicest of the ala carte restaurants at Blue Bay.

As mentioned, this was a pretty short getaway. Still, I cannot recall feeling better after an almost full day of flying and now, sitting in my living room, looking out at the pouring rain in DFW. I feel great. So, if you could use a little R & R now or in the future please call or email. I have found yet another spot that you and yours might consider to recharge those seasonally depleted batteries. Or just call or email to say hi.
