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. (Some would say, in fact,…

The modern community largely dates from the early 20th century, when Jews arrived from Eastern Europe and the Middle East. The Sinagoga Monte Sinaí, opened in 1923 by Sephardim from Syria and Lebanon, reflects the diversity of Mexico’s Jewish population and the way different traditions took root side by side in the capital. Located on Calle Justo Serra in the historic…

The two best known, Chichén Itzá and Tulum, are celebrated for a reason. But if you’re particularly fascinated, as I am, with the Mundo Maya, you’ll want to add several more days to your visit here, as…
Read more…pexels My hometown offers a great mix of modern celebrations and cultural traditions, and on NYE the main celebration happens in downtown´s huge Zócalo Square, which comes alive with concerts, fireworks, food stands, and of course the countdown to midnight. But there´s also plenty of stylish partying elsewhere, in fun neighborhoods like Condesa, Roma, and Polanco. And by the way, the big local tradition here is eating 12 grapes at midnight, (and take it from me, it´s harder than it sounds!).…

Hi Meryl,
We live in Mexico and right now our 23 yr. old is doing her " practicas" for her Hotel and Restaurant major at the Maroma Beach Resort in Playa del Carmen which is where all the kids go now, since they consider Cancun for raunchy tourists who are drunk, fondling girls in the elevators, urinating in the streets, and "enjoying" the wet-t-shirt-competitions with Tequila Jello Shooters.... So for the kids who want a little more than "all-inclusive-boringly the same-hotels" with a too-heavy drinking scene, then Playa del Carmen is the place to go-try getting hotel recomendations from Tripadvisor. Our daugher who lived previously in Playa prefers Tulum since it is eco-tourism at it´s finest.
JOURNALIST SEEKS TROPICAL HOTELS FOR POSSIBLE FRONT PAGE
Needed ASAP -- For a possible major metro front page feature, journalist seeks hotels in warm climes that have seen a recent uptick in guests from New England escaping the cold. Will need to interview guests and file story by Feb. 4th. Contact patriciaborns@comcast.net.

MexicoGuru.com is a good place for searching for accommodations but it is more in tune with Mexico lovers who want an experience that large hotel chains don´t provide. The Department of Tourism has many web pages and they are well designed so that knowing Spanish is not really required. For instance our state has www.morelostravel.com which covers everything a traveler would need to make a choice in where to stay.
