This onetime fishing village (pop. around 5,000) on the Costa Nayarit (the Pacific coast of Nayarit state), an hour north of Puerto Vallarta, today is known as one of the best surfing destinations in the world as well as a favorite of backpackers looking for adventure on a budget. On top of that, Sayulita is known for good eating, vibrant nightlife, and "boho energy," and the offerings on its colorful streets are rounded out by a yoga scene and cool little boutiques.

The modern community largely dates from the early 20th century, when Jews arrived from Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

But that's another complaint, one that doesn't appear to alarm the American public one bit.
Ed is this similar to cochnita pibil that I had tasted in Playa del Carmen; its is pork with achiote paste and herbs cooked in a pit of sorts.
"Pay for 2 nights & the 3rd Night is Free, valid from October 30 through November 3, 2010. [This] reflects a 33% savings off normal pricing. The reduced cost for two adults staying three nights starts at $560.00 (plus taxes and hotel service charge). " It's a beautiful place, too.
The packages includes:
* 3 Nights (pay for 2!)
* Xcanatún Breakfast for two daily.
* A sampling of Mucbipollos* at breakfast or lunch.
*"Buried chicken" -- A tamal, laced with achiote paste and stuffed with chicken, pork, tomato, onion, and epazote, is wrapped in banana leaves and cooked in a pit.
