We had a great time. We loved La Penita. If you like big all inclusive resorts then it might not be for you. La Penita truly is a working town. It's regular people working and living their lives in this wonderful village. The beach is right at the end of the block from Casa Pacifico and it was never crowded. It was Easter break for the locals and we were warned that it might be busy. The Mexicans know how to enjoy the beach. Three or four generations, music, food, drink and sand, lots of sand. It was great.
Lissa is very warm and welcoming. Both, before we got there by emails and after we arrived, if we had any questions or needed anything, she was right there. We stayed in the upstairs suite. It was clean, bright, cool with a huge deck that we used for early morning sun and coffee,
and in the afternoon for margaritas. If your looking for the authentic, real Mexico, this is for you. I highly recommend Lissa at Casa Pacifico in La Penita.
