Brisas Las Hadas Golf Resort & Marina

Frommer's Review

For me, Las Hadas is synonymous with a visit to Manzanillo. This elegant beachside resort is built in Moorish style into the side of the rocky peninsula. Rooms are spread over landscaped grounds and overlook the bay; cobbled lanes lined with colorful flowers and palms connect them. The resort is large but maintains an air of seclusion. (Motorized carts are on call for transportation within the property.)

Views, room size, and amenities differentiate the six types of accommodations, which can vary greatly. If you're not satisfied with your room, ask to be moved -- a few of the rooms are significantly less attractive than others. Understated and spacious, the better units have white-marble floors, sitting areas, and large, comfortably furnished balconies. Nine suites have private pools. The lobby is a popular place for curling up in one of the overstuffed seating areas or, at night, for enjoying a drink and live music. Pete and Roy Dye designed La Mantarraya, the hotel's 18-hole, par-71 golf course.

If you are visiting on a cruise ship or staying at another hotel, you can enjoy Las Hadas beach for a day by purchasing a day pass from the hotel's gate guard.
