You are not going to find this just by sitting at your computer. You have got to be prepared to travel - out of the way too. But then travelling is great fun ...
Pack away your laptop this Christmas and choose a quiet hideaway for a well-deserved break!
Are you longing for the crashing waves of the Mexican Pacific coast and an almost guaranteed spectacular sunset?
Then try my suggestion. Hotel Brisas Paraiso is located directly on Playa Las Brisas in Coahuayana de Hidalgo, in the state of Michoacan. It's situated about 1/3 of the way from Manzanillo to Lazaro Cardenas along a two hundred-mile stretch of beautiful coastline just dotted with isolated beaches. But isolated it is, so there is not much choice as there are very few hotels around. This hotel is in fact the only decent one for miles and is usually only frequented by Mexicans.
Most rooms are located on the ground floor, but try to get one of the two small suites that are one floor above. The hotel only has two suites, but both give you the added bonus of a splendid view along the beach over the tops of at least 200 palms absolutely free. Although Mexico offers many luxury hotels, you must lower your expectations in this area, which receives few tourists. Hotel Brisas Paraiso (in English, 'Breezes in Paradise') is small, clean and friendly and would rate at 2 or 3 stars. I'm not following any chart in my rating, but just going by feeling.
Incidentally, Playa Las Brisas was not picked for its high intellijeune factor, but for pure relaxation value, far away from anywhere.
