You should see Manzanillo's airport, too. One short runway, right along the ocean, which is kinda scary- then one teeny tiny concrete block building.
How were the beaches- swimmable, clean, rough surf or calm?  is it quite lush/tropical there, the photos always look more green and lush than Mexico to me. |
The Beach at the Papagayo was "okay". The water is clear but had more black sand there.
The Beach at Conchal was much nicer and almost had the "PdC" light blue color. The beach was sand and shell. Sometimes hard to walk on.Water clarity was really good and I found some decent snorkeling to the right of the hotel. You can only walk out about 20 feet from shore and then the big drop off (where the dark blue water shows). Not many waves on those two beaches, everyone heads to where the Barcelo resorts are to surf. Right past the Paridissus resort was a restaurant (where we had a great meal at sunset) called the Cameron Dorado. Beach there was awesome with some crashing waves. Water temperature was perfect, not cold nor hot. I still like the beaches best in Mexico but could live on these too !!!
Sorry, still haven't downloaded my pics yet to photobucket. I think I am cut off at work from doing so !! lol
Will try this week to have up.
