Manzanillo Vacation Rentals

A major seaport on the Pacific coast, Manzanillo is part of the Mexican Riviera, along with Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. Enjoy the area's laidback Mexican vibes at seafront Manzanillo vacation homes.

Manzanillo Cuisine: Spanish-Inspired Seafood Paradise

While international cuisine is available at most of Manzanillo's downtown eateries, you shouldn't miss out on local specialties. Favourites include marinated pork stew (tatemado), prawns sautéed in butter and garlic, spicy shrimp, and tomato-based fish chowder (caldo michi).

A popular cevichería is Mariscos El Aliviane, which serves tantalizing seafood platters with spicy habanero salsa. Manzanillo's inventive seafood cocktails (cócteles) are recommended, as is the chilled fermented coconut-palm juice (agua de tuba). Satiate sugar cravings with chewy coconut-based cocada candy.

Live Music and Beach Parties Galore

Manzanillo keeps travellers entertained until the wee hours. Start off with a pre-dinner drink at one of the city's bohemian cafés before hitting the coastal nightclubs. If closed spaces aren't your thing, the legendary lunadas (moonlight beach parties) will do you good!

Bars and casinos along Blvd. Miguel de la Madrid and in Las Brisas often host theme nights. Sunset Lounge proposes house and techno, and for oceanfront views, a pool, and live reggae music, motorcycle-themed Yaco Pool Bar never fails.

Adventures in Manzanillo: Sea Expeditions and Mountain Fun

Seafood restaurants and a shipwreck at Playa La Boquita make it a sought-after snorkelling spot, while Playa Miramar attracts surfers and bodysurfers. Consider joining a fishing excursion to learn from experienced captains and share a meal of grilled marlin and dorado onboard!

Meanwhile, boat tours are a great way to discover secluded islands, and the coast's profusion of lagoons offer excellent birdwatching opportunities. Golfers can tee off at Manzanillo's legendary golf courses, while extreme sports fans shouldn't miss an ATV adventure tour through rugged mountain trails and rainforests.
