The beach and the hotel were beyond expectations (although the rooms were modest with two single beds).  This may be what Big Sur was like before it was discovered.  Although the place gets rave reviews from the hippy/surfer crowd, one grizzled veteran said it had already been "ruined by tourism," since his first visit 14 years ago.  With miles of perfect untouched beach, Mexico can produce new discoveries forever.  Great breakers, but heavy currents.
