Oh no way, not me.  Water's cold, waves are sucky for swimming, the diving is terrible.  

The Caribbean side, the water is warm and beautiful, waves are mild, and the diving is incredible.

If you're a sport-fisher, the Pacific side is better.  For everything else, gimme the Mayan Riviera.

IOW, utee's soft :57:

I would say one other reported advantage of the Pacific side is surfing. That said, I don't go to Mexico so it's a moot point for me.

I don't surf or sport-fish, so if that makes me soft, so be it.  I go on beach vacations for relaxing with beautiful, warm water, low key swimming, and diving.  All of those are far superior in the Caribbean.

I find the west coast to be much less expensive and less Americanized
I prefer sunsets to sunrises - maybe not now at my advanced age

Didn't enjoy Cabo San Lucas - much like southern Cali, and expensive

The areas I go to in the Mayan Riviera actually tend to have more Euros than Americans.

Don't think I'd say that, tons of Mexicans on the Mayan Riviera.

I like Cabo, but we stay in a house up on the rocks and go into town only during the day, and only a couple days out of the week we are there. It's a getaway with friends.

I like it OK.  Just seems I could easily be in San Diego.

Manzanillo, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, & Iztapa/Zihuatanejo were more laid back and authentic

wasn't as big a fan of Acapulco but, the cliff diving was cool

We are still on the fence about going down this year.

It's not like we are going for the weather. It's the same here.

I haven't been to Mexico in 20 years.  The Ex liked it.
I don't have to go that far to find a golf course and good mexican food

but, I had some REALLY great seafood in Manzanillo, Mazatlan, & Zihuatanejo for cheap

I went to the gym and the pool.  My watch said 94°F.  There was a slight breeze and humidity is pretty low and the sun went behind a cloud, it was quite pleasant.  When the sun poked out it started to get a bit hot.  Duh.  I came in.
