˜Hacienda de Melaque’, a beautiful, small hotel, is a serene oasis nestled in the center of the village of Melaque. The parklike grounds, lined with coconut and banana trees are quiet and restful. They have just built a new, beautiful swimming pool and two palapas. The suites are very spacious and beautiful. The owners are lovely Mexican family who want to have everything just right for us.

 Manzanillo is the nearest airport. It is only 30 minute cab ride away from the hotel
 Puerta Vallarta is a four hour bus ride away. So is Guadalahara.
 
 Accomodations
This is a small, lovely oasis of a hotel in the heart of Melaque. The beach is a four minute walk away.
The hotel is made up of six identical suites. The suites include two very spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen and living room and a balcony.
One of the bedrooms has a king size bed and bathroom. This would be suitable for a couple or two friends that don’t mind sharing the spacious king size bed.
The other bedroom has two double beds, suitable for a couple or two compatible people. This bedroom also has its own bathroom. If you are coming by yourself, I will be sure to pair you up with a suitable room mate.

About Melaque:
Melaque is nestled on the north shore of the Bahia (Bay) de Melaque and the village of Barra de Navidad on the south shore. If you were to walk, on the beach, from one village to the other it would take about 1 hour. There are buses that run every ten minutes from Melaque to Barra de Navidad. Also, buses run regularly to La Manzanilla, another lovely beach village just 20 minutes north of Melaque.
All amenities are available in Melaque…vegetable markets and groceries, drugstores, great restaurants and coffee stops, clothing stores, a bank and money exchangers, buses, taxis, doctors and dentists.
