Nothing compares to their excellent service. Their staff are very sincere and friendly. They would really make you feel at home. My family and I felt we were cared well during our stay in El Cid Cozumel. The place and their facilities are also great. Their rooms are very clean and their beds were very comfortable. Shower rooms and bathrooms are very spacious and large.

The peaceful perfection seen in this beautiful picture is the Caribbean Sea, covering the eastern coast of Mexico. It has been an inspiration for novelists, painters, and poets since the earliest days of Western Settlement in the Americas, and the romantic dazzle of the sapphire waves as seen here is enough, in our opinion, to help us understand why the sensitive among us find this mass of water so emotionally engaging.

The Caribbean forms many bays, gulfs and coves in the area it delineates, and almost every single one of these places is a miniature paradise, a copy of heaven for those know know how to appreciate beauty. The many islands shaped by the waves are all popular desitnations for tourists, and it is not hard to see why. Like little gems floating in the sunwashed waters of the sea, they dazzle and amaze the mermaids, and the wander-crazed American tourists like.

A large number of plants, and animals exist only in the borders of this nation, and a smilar number is only found inside a few other countries in addition to Mexico.

Approximately 2500 speciaes are protected by Mexican laws. In addition, the Mexican state designates a vast part of the country as protected areas where human activity is restricted. Mexico has industrialized somewhat later than many other nations, but this is also an advantage whenm the subject is preservation and protection.

Ajijic is a small town in the Mexican state of Jalisco. The beautiful settlement is a part of the municipality of Chapala, which is located on a large plateau home to the Sierra Madre mountain range.

Ajijic is a wonderful vantage point from which you can admire the spectacular scenes, and the soothing calm of Lake Chapala, to the north of which the town lies.

With about 15000 inhabitants, and a climate that is moderate the whole year around, Ajijic is one of the last places on earth where the touch of humanity has not spoiled the pristine beauty of the environment.

It is expected that the population of Ajijic will keep swelling until the influx of baby boomers from US and Canada subsides.
