Lovely beach at Puerto Escondido - Mexico
mating turtles
We're going to PE for Christmas with another family and all of our kids, ages 10 to 13. Has anyone done something like this? We're trying to book a good place to stay for a week. House? Apartment? Condo? Hotel? Not sure what the best option will be but we're looking for a good place and realized we'd better hurry because places are booking up fast! Thanks for any advice.

We once stayed at Hotel Santa Fé in Puerto Escondido and absolutely loved it. It is located right on a fabulous beach, at a little distance from the city centre, and generously designed, kind of mediterranean style, with a patio, pools, and the rooms built around this area, curved staircases lead to the rooms, has a very relaxed holiday feeling. Just not one of those big hotel bunkers, as I call the highrise blocks which you see in Acapulco. If kids are tired of playing in the pool area they can run forever on the endless beach or play ball games, they also offered horseback-riding on the beach.

That place looks really nice! I'll look into it, thanks!
Transport along the coast is sporadic and infrequent. You may want to hire a car for a day or two to explore some of the more remote spots. The coastline both east and west of PE is extraordinarily beautiful and virtually deserted.
Picture is Mazunte, not far from Puerto Angelo (about 30kms from PE) Discovering beaches that are virtually deserted - in some instances only local familiies fishing from the rocks.
One of the highlights of my trip to Mexico was being able to watch sea turtles mate. From Puerto Escondido, take a cab to Manzanillo beach (about 10 minutes, $3). We were approached by a vendor who basically charges people to go out on his boat for a few hours early in the morning to witness sea life. Not only did we see turtles, but we also saw dolphins, manta ray, and sea snakes. It was a rare experience since it´s only in July that the turtles mate. Fishing or boat excursions can cost from $20 to $50 depending on who you are, how much Spanish you speak, and who you bargain with. Get ready to haggle.
You have many beaches and resort towns along the mexican coast, but few places are more laid back than Puerto Escondido.
It is in my opinion one of the most genuine places in Mexico and it´s not a tacky resort with touts and foreign franchises everywhere, but it still has the services that a modern tourist is looking for.
I have been there a few times and will come back again and again.
It was one of the places of Mexico that I most like.... without huge commercial resorts.. just the beach and you...
Maybe one of the Mexican fisherman towns that still survive with their magic... visit it soon!
From our room you can see directly the beach... it was a mid-range, buget accomodation place but the location was just perfect...
Having mexican breakfast on the beach... deliciuoussssss!
