60 miles north of Manzanillo or little more than two hours’ drive from Puerto Vallarta, on the wonderfully unspoilt seabord of the Costa Careyes (‘Turtle Coast’), this charming ‘boutique’ hotel lies on a spectacular Pacific ocean frontage where largely untouched beaches alternate with dramatic cliffs, and from which nearby lagoons and tropical forests can be visited. A Mediterranean-style resort village, the hotel counterpoints the natural beauty and tranquillity of its landscaped setting with a sophisticated mood, personalised service, and excellent recreational facilities.
