Looking for advice on a 7 day to Mexico mid Dec. We have never been. I love to snorkel, and take pics, some jungle would be great. what area is best? We are looking for a quiet retreat.

check air canada vacations

Probably Mayan riviera.

Huatulco

I was looking at Huatulco. We were looking at Castillo Huatulco, do you know it?

Sherry no we stayed at Dreams. Maybe go to trip advisor and read the recent reviews on it

Sherry we went with a large group and everyone loved Huatulco !

Lynda Thanks so much!

Mayan hands down. I have done a few excursions there and they are top notch!! Enjoy your trip!!

I went to Huatulco for Christmas and New Years last year... stayed at La Brisas, it was beautiful.

Ivy Awesome! We haven't been away since our 25th which was in 2010. It is time!!!!

Only one flight required to Huatulco too:)

Sherry Castillo is well loved by Canadians. Try also Villa Blanca which is our favourite. If you want All Inclusive to snorkel and relax Las brisas is the way to go. I hope you fall in love with Huatulco like many of us have. If you end up booking and want an excellent snorkel guy we have one. He also does personalized tours. He's Argentinian who has guided white water rafting on the kicking horse and scuba in Iceland and now does some cool stuff in Huatulco. We love him!

We have been to Huatulco twice both times stayed at the Villablanca. The Villablanca is a small, clean hotel right at the turn to both of the small towns. Easy walking 1 km to Santa Cruz where the Castillo is located and 1 km to La Crucecita. Incredibly safe to walk around after going for dinner in the evenings etc. The Castillo is not directly waterfront but is a block from the beach in Santa Cruz ( they have their own beach club a short shuttle away). The snorkelling is wonderful especially in Maguey Bay. Huatulco is an absolutely wonderful area to visit!!

Kristy That is awesome!!! Thanks

I go to Manzanillo every year around Jan/Feb. One year I went there for Christmas and New Years. At Barcelo’s there was a huge Christmas dinner outside with a few bands and gifts for all. On New Years Eve there was the same followed by two hours of a
spectacular fireworks display. Temperature is 30, dry
and no rain. Love it.
There is snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, beach volleyball, tingle tours, volcano tours, village tours, a large 200 stall market and city within walking distance of the resort.

I like looking at trip central. Go under classic grid. You can see best prices for departures. Sometimes by just going the next day can save a lot of money!

Mayan Riviera is a great place for that. I recommend Xel-ha (full day for snorkeling) and Coba for jungle and culture

Mayan Riviera has everything you are looking for

Thanks so much everyone!!!

Mayan isn’t typically called quiet. I would check out Huatulco side

Ixtapa has all of that!

Akumal Bay Beach Resort

Mayan riviera , Bahia Princpe Tulum

Saw this one, it looks amazing.

Snorkel from beach , saw stingrays , seahorse , barucuda turtles

What are you picturing in a quiet retreat?

Jungle walks, seeing some ruins, quiet room, just not looking for a party place.

Some of the areas in the Mayan are very built up and touristy. I know there are also some that aren’t. For Mayan advice check out www.locogringo.com and also seriously check out Huatulco on the west
