We have been spending Christmas at La Paloma (The Doves) in San Patricio/Melaque for the past few years and just adore the place. It is small , a little eccentric, and the perfect beach front hideway. There are only about a dozen suites ( with kitchenettes) each one different but all very artistically decorated in happy Mexican colours with original artwork on the walls. Buffet-breakfast is presented under a shell-shaped palapa roof. There is a large pool, lovely cool gardens with tropical flowers and palm trees. It is spotlessly clean and is peaceful and quiet. (no children) A bonus, the owner teaches art and has a studio available for guests to use. more
