Question

Other than cancun, what is a great place to stay in Mexico in February? Maybe on the west side of the country.

Answer 1

Rosarito, Ensenada, Cabo San Lucas

Answer 2

Well, it depends on what kind of experience you want. If you don't require a beach, then San Miguel de Allende is wonderful to visit any time of year, but especially in February.

The first weekend in February is "Candelaria" when all the flower sellers and plant growers set up in the pathways in the park and sell plants for the garden. It is the unofficial beginning of Spring and the weather is usually perfect that time of year.

Also, winter is the high season in San Miguel, and that means lots and lots of activities going on every day--lectures, films, concerts, art gallery openings, plays, walking tours, etc.  Almost all of these are available in English.

Answer 3

Puerto Vallarta .Stay in the old section of town ,south of the Rio Cuale (sp?)

Answer 4

Acapulco, Cabo San Lucas, San Luis Potosi

Answer 5

Cabo San Lucas.  Check out the Solmar hotel.  I love this vacation the most!  The Solmar is awesome!  It's a small hotel right on the Pacific.  There are no people on the beach.  Pretty secluded.  You can climb over big rocks to get to the Lovers Beach.  Close to town yet far away.  It's a great atmosphere there.  I went in January and the whales migrate during that time.  Awesome!

Or there's Puerto Vaillarta.  My dad said he liked it there with his girlfriend, but it looks too built up for me.  (Which, by the way, is happening to Cabo as well)  Been there a couple of times.

Answer 6

I suggest Carnaval in Mazatlan Jan. 31 - Feb 5.  Other than that, Puerto Vallarta, Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, and Acapulco are all Pacific coast resorts similar to Cancun.  Manzanillo and Puerto Escondido are nice too though calmer than Cancun.
