When is the least expensive time to fly to Manzanillo, Mexico?

Has anyone been on vacation to the Mexican riviera city of Manzanillo? Did you like it? I heard it was nice!?

• I am looking into buying a vacation property in Mexico and I am looking at several different cities. The one that keeps popping up the most, best climate, least crowded, least dirty, best diving, best fishing.... is Manzanillo, the problem is I've never even been there. Last time I went somewhere in Mexico was Xtapa and I was horribly dissapointed. Please tell me this resort city is better. Personal experiences only please.

  Well I live an hour north of Manzanillo and happen to be going shopping there later today. Manzanillo is much more than a resort city - it's the largest shipping port on the west coast. Because it was not developed just for tourists it has a different look and feel than many other coastal towns. You definitely have to visit to tell if it's for you. Here's a couple of pages I've made over the years http://sparks-mexico.com/Assorted/Manzanillo/album/index.html http://sparks-mexico.com/Mex2002/index1.htm
