Manzanillo Suggestions

[trustthedj]

We will be on the Spirit next week and have made our plans for Acapulco and Ixtapa, but still have not decided on what to do in Manzanillo - mostly torn between carnival's excursion to the beach resort, or doing our own thing at Las Hadas. Any ideas, thoughts, hints, suggestions, please, please, please!!!:confused:

Las Hadas is fun, but expensive - can't go wrong going there.

I agree, go to Las Hadas. It was my favorite port day on the cruise. Beautiful and it wasn't that pricey of a day for us.

Did you take a taxi to Las Hadas? Or does the Carnival excursion go there?

Taxi was $10 each way - and that was for 30 minutes each way! I don't know about the Carnival excursion. At the time we went they weren't disclosing which resort hotel they were using for the excursion destination. I wouldn't even bother booking thru Carnival. This is an easy and friendly place - and plenty of taxis.

We really enjoyed the ship's excursion to the Cuyutlan Turtle park. It was a very nice day, good lunch - served after releasing tiny turtles into the sea at a restaurant right on the beach. Huge waves were coming in that day in December.
