This guide shows how to avoid the all-inclusive resorts and tourist traps. It offers information on regional cuisine and places from Mazatlan to Oaxaca including Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco and beach spots.

Golf resorts–it’s a specialized niche for a savvy group that knows what it wants. What they want is golf, so the Nicols have devoted pages of attention to yardage and par, green fees, and special course features for hundreds of golf courses in the Mexico. Included are Cancún, Yucatan, Baja Sur, Cabo San Lucas, Acapulco, Ixtapa, Manzanillo, Mazatlan and beyond. But there are other facets to consider as well, because the point here is to take a vacation, a golf vacation, where you get to luxuriate in your scenic vistas, eat your sumptuous meals, and play your 18 holes, too. There are resorts for all sorts, with rustic lodges or posh hotels; full-scale gourmet pampering or low-key environments; all-golf, all-the-time atmospheres; or resorts that offer the works–tennis, fishing, sailing, or skiing–for the spouses who just aren’t as intent on golf, perhaps, as you. The important thing is that all types of golf holidays are possible, and the Nicols have done the legwork so all you have to do is browse, choose, and make the reservations.

Welcome to the second annual anthology of the Puerto Vallarta Writers group. This year, in addition to short stories, we have included selections of Essay, Flash Fiction. Memoir, and Poetry. Since 1989 the PVWG has provided a home for authors in all genres, and now they all have a chance to show off their eclectic abilities. This slim volume runs the gamut from comedy to tragedy and, in between, we explore the entire range of human experience as seen through the eyes and hearts of fine and sensitive writers who share with you the fruits of their lives and their labors.
