                <description><![CDATA[I visited Puerto Escondido in September and stayed in an enormous, ocean front home with a group of friends. The price, per person, was unbeatable and came with a cook, butler, driver and maid. They prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner if desired. I have never experienced this type of architecture - the living area is completely open air covered by a large palapa. The bedrooms and entertainment room are enclosed and air conditioned. Right next door is an equally impressive, yet slightly larger house which had a wedding party arrive the day we were leaving. If and when I get married, I think this may be the place where I will go. Between the two homes, I it can accommodate 30-35 people.<br><br>I also learned how to surf. We went fishing and caught a boat load of Yellowfin Tuna - 27 to be exact as well as one Sailfish which we let go. Also got to see a lot of schools of dolphins jumping all over the place and a whale spouting in the distance. I can't wait to go back and am considering purchasing land and building there. I heard the prices have been going up quickly but from what I saw there are still some good deals to be found.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Puerto Escondido is a fabulous place to stay in Mexico, semi-tropical with miles of white beaches and some hidden paradises. One of the best activities to do is a visit to one of the nearby lagunas, such as Mazunte or Manialtepec. In the lagunas you will find delights such as a turtle sanctuary where baby sea-turtles crawl into your hand and you drink fresh coconut from the shell, mangrove forests filled with thousands of brightly coloured birds and crocodiles (best avoided wherever possible). Although we're not bird-watchers, we went on a tour guided by an ornatholagist and it was absolutely wonderful.]]></description>
