It was a bit of a whim that led us here. Ilir said he was thinking of going to Mexico for Thanksgiving, and I having no plans, asked to join. The town is so quaint, the locals all friendly and after a turkey dinner at the Viceroy, we knew this would have to become our new November tradition.

Our biggest dilemma was whether or not to share this amazing secret. The beaches were nearly empty, many restaurants had only a few patrons, to describe the town as sleepy would be an understatement. But, we came to decompress and catch up on sleep, and empty beaches and deserted hotel pools are the best places to do that.
