Once a sleepy fishing village, the resort has grown into one of the Mexico's most popular destinations, but the humble beginnings are still evident in the historic centre, with its charming cobbled streets and whitewashed terracotta roofed buildings. Art and music flourish with regular live concerts and beach sculpture that will captivate you for hours. There are shopping opportunities galore; a vast array of eateries from hot dog stalls to gourmet restaurants; and on the beaches, you'll find every water sport imaginable.

Symbolic of Holland America Line's more than 135-year history of circumnavigating the globe, the centerpiece of the ms Oosterdam is a magnificent Waterford crystal globe, prominently displayed in a three-story atrium.
