TRANQUILITY
"Great place if you want to get away from the city. Very peaceful and best of all a heated pool. A block and a half from the boardwalk. The only thing I would suggest would be that they dust more often. The lamps were very dusty and you know what they say, 90% of dust comes from the skin. But overall ..."

Ajijic is old and Very Mexican, a lot of foreign influence is peppered thru out that makes it more likely to visit.

We like more Chapala, than Ajijic.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Ajijic is a lovely little village that seems to be a meca for retiring ex pats. The people are very friendly and sweet, the food and dining options are fantastic and it is extremely affordable. The lake view is beautiful. Very slow paced!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Ajijic and the surrounding towns are great to Visit or to stay at. It's so nice, many people have decided to move here. Unfortunately, the roads weren't designed to accommodate the amount of people that are there now. Traffic is like living in LA.

5/5 - Excellent

Charming Pueblo as it has been and will be for years. Restaurants, lounges, coffee shops, artisans, Lake Chapala,the Malecon, the Lake Chapala Society ..for contact with the American community. Love it !

The Black & White Coffee Shop in the principal plaza has the best cappachino in town and is a great place to people-watch. The Chili Verde restaurant on the West side of the plaza has the best authentic Mexican food in town. It is a vibrant town!
