PUERTO LAS HADAS - MANZANILLO, MEXICO

It took the budding and beautiful Bo Derek, cornrow braids flying behind her, to put
Manzanillo on the map. The year was 1979. A romantic film comedy called “10”,
starring Bo Derek and Dudley Moore, became one of the year’s biggest movies.
In the movie, the middle-aged Moore becomes obsessed with Derek and follows
her to a tropical paradise: Manzanillo – in magical Mexico. Fans flocked to the
box office and then began flocking to this undiscovered, pristine destination
featured in the movie. Manzanillo became famous!

Until then, visitors had arrived in Manzanillo in more of a trickle, many invited by a
millionaire from Bolivia. Don Antenor Patino, who made his fortune in tin, built a dream
house overlooking Manzanillo Bay in the 1960’s. He called the property “Las Hadas”,
a historical name meaning “fairies”. The moniker was bestowed on the Manzanillo
area decades earlier by navigators who saw the ocean sparkling with light during the
night. The sparkles were caused by phosphorus in the water, and the effect was/is purely
magical. Patino began inviting friends to the area and commenced building Las Hadas
into a world-class resort and recreation centre. In 1974, he opened the $33-million
whitewashed, Moorish-influenced resort with 300 jet-setters from around the world arriving
for one of the hottest parties of the year.

Las Hadas Golf & Marina Resort is located on the Peninsula and contains a hotel with
restaurants, shops, Las Hadas beach, an 18 holes golf course, named in Golf Digest
as one of the world's top 100 golf courses, tennis courts, swimming pools and
Las Hadas Condominiums. The condominiums are build against the rocks which gives it it's
unique Moorish architecture. It has it's own swimming pool with restaurant as well as restaurants
along the marina and a breathtaking view to the Pacific Ocean and Manzanillo Bay.
