GETTING TO MANZANILLO - Nonstop from Los Angeles (Alaska Air), Mexico City; and in winter Phoenix (America West), Minneapolis/St. Paul (SunCountry), Houston (Continental Airlines), direct to Manzanillo International Airport, which is a 30 minute drive to our villa. If you wish, plan to spend a day or two in Guadalajara and/or Mexico City on the way or returning - it'll break up the trip and make it more interesting. You can use American Airlines mileage on Alaska Air (from Los Angeles).
Many travel agents are not familiar with the nuances of getting to Manzanillo -- including feeder airlines. Therefore, feel free to discuss with us, as we may be able to provide helpful hints.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Frankie and I built our villa, use it, love it and it shows. She named it "Palace by the Sea" when she first saw it completed, and the reasons will be obvious when you see it. Don’t expect merely “rental quality” décor. This is our second home; we use the finest, and are constantly improving the Palace. If you’d like to know more about Howie Alper, please see www.AlperServices.com.
