Las Hadas by Brisas Condo

All inclusive hotels are great when you have a tribe of people going with you to the beach. No cooking, all meals included, food and alcohol available 24/7. According to our preference, we enjoy going out to eat occasionally, cooking healthy at home, and joining a tribe at will. Therefore, my research for beach accommodations include rooms without all the food.  The price is always less, but if you eat out a lot, all inclusive hotels like the Barcelo, or the Las Hadas Resort in Manzanillo are best. For our Christmas gift to ourselves, this year we elected a condo on the Las Hadas Resort property. This gives us access to all their restaurants, the pools, and their private sandy beach. The condo's have their own small pool.  The water is always warmer along the coast so we are looking forward to a few days in the sun. Read reviews on Trip Advisor for updates on any hotel.  Las Hadas is where Bo Derek was in the movie "10" with Dudley Moore.  When booking we advise requesting a room on the lower level of the mountain top so that you will not need to call a golf cart to pick you up and bring you to the restaurant, pool, beach. We saw, we enjoyed twice, but we like the Barcelo way more. 

Enter from main drag thru Manzanillo.  One things about Las Hadas that we did not like was the location straight up the mountain away from all other venues of entertainment. Drive past Barcelo, drive past Tesoro Hotel, follow signs, up windy road to Las Hadas Resort.  The Barcelo hotel uses the Las Hadas golf course and tennis courts.  ENJOY the air conditioned LA MARINA MALL in town with a theatre, food court, and of course shopping. We have stayed at over 15 different hotels in Manzanillo to get away from the noise during Mardi Gras around Lake Chapala.
