Why Manzanillo??
Well, Manzanillo located in the State of Colima, is just one of those special places that you can only imagine if you’ve not been there. The state of Colima has as it’s capital, the city of Colima, and is the 3rd smallest of Mexico’s 31 states. Manzanillo, the only other city in the state, is not too big and not too small. It’s not too warm and certainly not too cool. It’s not too busy and yet has most everything. In short, it’s been a wonderful place on hold for several years while other areas up and down the coast were targeted with federal funds to become major tourist centers. For example, Manzanillo has approximately 5% of the hotel rooms of Puerto Vallarta to the north.
Tourism in Manzanillo is about 2/3 Canadian. For some reason, Canadians have adopted the place while the other 1/3 who are mostly Americans seem to tolerate us quite well. Manzanillo has dubbed itself as the ‘anti-Cancun’, and it shows. When you go out to eat the second time at a local restaurant, you may be recognized and welcomed back. You are not just another customer, you are needed. Many northerners want Manzanillo to remain a secret, which is a shared desire of the locals, who, it is reported, have for many years been reluctant to accept federal funds targeted at developing tourism in the area.
In light of this, Manzanillo’s prices are moderate compared to the mega tourism locations. Those who desire it, can still find oceanfront on which to build a single family home, right in the city. Our Perla Del Mar Manzanillo real estate is reasonably priced, in part because we were able to find a large piece of ideally situated oceanfront on one of Manzanillo’s best beaches; Las Brisas.
