Driving Instructions

Leaving the Manzanillo airport head north on HWY 200.  About 5 minutes after passing through Cihuatlan look for the turn off on your left to Isla de Navidad/La Culebra and the signs for the Grand Bay Hotel. Follow the road for 9km/6 miles and look for the CocoCabaña’s sign on your left just after the 3 large topes (speedbumps).  If you arrive at the entrance to the Grand Bay you have gone too far.  Turn around and go back about 400 meters or ¼ of a mile. Click here for a printable map.

GETTING AROUND 

CocoCabañas sits along a relatively quiet stretch of beach outside of town.  It is incredibly relaxing, as you will hear virtually no noise from traffic or of any other kind except of course for the ocean. 

In order to provide easy access to and from Barra de Navidad, CocoCabañas maintains an armada of bicycles, which may be used by guests for just a small maintenance fee to explore the peninsula or travel to and from town via Colimilla.  The bike ride to the dock in Colimilla is 2.8 miles-4.5 km and takes around fifteen minutes.   

You may wish to stop in Colimilla for outstanding local seafood.  The restaurants in Colimilla have delightful views of the lagoon and it’s abundant bird life, while the occasional native vender might come by to show you their wares.  Once you’re satisfied and ready to move on, leave your bike chained to the rack at Lidia’s restaurant or put it on the lancha (small water taxi) and take it with you to explore Barra on bike.  Take either the public water taxi (10 pesos/$1) or hire a private lancha (prices vary) to take you on a tour or just across the lagoon.   As part of our first class service mantra, we’ll gladly arrange tours, adventures, taxis as well as other transportation services for you.  Click on act activities for more information on things to do. 

For those unable or not wishing to use the bike, we’d be happy to provide transportation to the Colimilla dock when possible (advance notice is helpful).  From the Colimilla dock it is just a picturesque five-minute boat ride across the lagoon into the heart of Barra de Navidad.  If you’re planning to have a late night in town, you will probably have to return via taxi (prices may vary depending on level of intoxication ~$15).   

A note from the staff: If there are any doubts or uncertainties, or if CocoCabañas can assist you in any way to book travel or reservations, please don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email.  We’d only be too happy to help!
