The beach in Melanque

We decided to take my parents to the beach while they were here. We had heard good things about Barra de Navidad and Melanque and hadn't been there yet. They are about 1 hour north of Manzanillo. We were recommended another bungalow to stay in in Melanque, but were wary of the bungalows after our last experience. But this one turned out to be great. The rooms weren't new, but they were clean and included all the usual things, towels, TP, drinking water. But it was the grounds that were awesome. We weren't on the beach, but only 2 blocks away. There was a really nice and big pool, restaurant with a good singer at night, ping-pong table, basketball court, tennis courts, and the kids favorite, a playground with merry-go-round. Keep in mind, this is still Mexico so everything is old, but they tried to keep it all clean and nice. The kids slept in the living room on beds we made out of furniture. Milli especially loved her little nook.

We didn't spend as much time at the beach as last time, but it was still heaven for me. Love the sun, sand and water. Almost no waves at this beach. Riley was disappointed; he brought a boogie board this time.
We ate lots of great food.
We were so glad that my parents could come. It was fun to show them all around Ajijic and let them see how we're living. But we miss seeing them more often.
