Manzanillo Resorts: Meson Dona Paz

Perched on an imposing peninsula at the edge of the Laguna de Navidad, with the mountains as backdrop and the Pacific Ocean before it, Mesón Doña Paz is an exclusive refuge of tranquility and peace, just as its name infers. A mansion of the grandest scale, it’s hard to believe only 14 exclusive rooms and suites are within. Its breathtaking lobby, the central level of three floors, overlooks the restaurant and a man made saltwater cove that simulates a private swimming pool. The corridors are expansive enough to dance in and give way to elegant sitting areas and to the very privately located guest quarters.

Marble and limestone abound and Mesón Doña Paz' construction employs a harmonious blend of Mexican, Spanish and Mediterranean styles. The astoundingly large guestrooms and suites have been decorated with great taste, favoring lively Mexican colors, and are adorned with Mexican and Spanish paintings. The crystal doors of each room open to a marvelous pool and bay view.

The most demanding palates will be rewarded with an international gastronomic tour of its menu, served in whichever setting of the hotel the guest desires — from the terrace to the hotel’s jetty. Guests at Mesón Doña Paz will find both an elegant yet sportive ambience, where national and international personalities have enjoyed Isla de Navidad’s championship golf course and world-class marina.
