Come on down!

My travel agent wrote me and said.....

From/to LAX
240.84 roundtrip INCLUDING the tax.
Its currently good for travel up to a year from now.
There are certain black out dates where it goes up by 30.00 each way.
This is a darn good deal! So don't say I didn't tell you!

Welcome Fruity Keiko in ZIhuatanejo

Well, if you have ever been strolling along the streets of Zihua, thinking why am i here, and really there is NOTHING better than the shop at Hacienda Eden, stroll no further than number 5a Vincente Guerrero!


I have opened a branch of Fruity Keiko in Zihuatanejo. It is in the location that used to house Coco Cabana, the shop that was a part of Coconuts Restaurant. Not that i am trying to urge our guests to leave paradise or anything , but rather to be able to have an office that stays open all year. That way we can shop and do things in the summer that before we could do only in the month of October, which can get a little stressful let me tell you! Our grand opening was on the first of October and seemed to be a (am i allowed to say this and still stay humble?) success! Yeah! It has been a great experience getting to know the folks in Zihua better. 100% positive!
For anyone worrying, i carry almost all of the same things in either store. But i think that there are lots of people in Zihua that never come to Troncones so hopefully it will work out. I will let you know next year. In the mean time, here is another photo, stop by and see us the next time you are in Town!





The night of the inauguration, Christian did some lovely snacks, Esperanza, and her new assistants Diana and Karina took charge of all the details and the rest of us enjoyed a lovely champagne toast!

I like butterflys better than mold

Hello,

Here we are in the middle of the rainyiest of the rainy seasons. Wow, it rained almost every day in August and still going strong for September. Although lots of storms have gone by none so far has done any damage besides the obvious disaster of the road. I don't even want to go into it!! And the Mold! Woah!!

Of course there are lots of benifits to the rain. One is the plants go over the top, literally, the bougamvilla on both sides of the hotel are over the roof. I can't imagine how many gardeners we would have to have if the hotel were open in the summer just to keep up with it all. No dust is another big benifit, jeez i hate that stuff! And the animal and bug life is constantly entertaining. Many of you know that the kitchen at our house is outside. Ideal for the tropics where it never gets cold, but at night with the lights attracting every bug from miles around it's like cooking in the Amazon, massive beetles, mantisis, moths the size of my hand, all flying around my head at the same time! Yikes! Very interesting. August of course loves it and has a new "friend" everyday.

Some of the more pictuesque additions are the millions of butterflys like the one above. This one in in the flowers infront of the restaurant. I tried to take a long shot cuz there were sooooo many but they just blended in (as they are supposed to do no doubt). There are stripey ones, grean and black Monarch look alikes, orange, yellow, solid white huge ones and ones that "snap" when they flap thier wings. I got to look that one up! So all in all everything is going well.

We will start preparing the hotel to open next week, no big changes this summer. Will write more later,

Welcome to the new and improved edenmex!

The product of many months toil by our web designer Paul Sims. Thank you Paull!

We hope that all of our faithfull guests past, present and future will find the site a breath of fresh air. Jeez, that salmon pink was getting to be too much!! Any comments about the website just send to

I am sure one can easily find lots of mistakes on this new site. The last week i have been on the "lets just get it up and running" mode and will hopefully be able to fine tune things as we go along. So bear with me!

One of our biggest changes is not a visual one. We have added an extra e-mail address for communicating with us. One address:haciendaeden@gmail.com is for general questions, comments and requests, and our old e-mail, evaandjim@aol.com will be relegated for reservation requests only. We hope that will help to cut Jim's work load a bit and to allow us to pick up the speed on the response time.

Our past guests will notice that we have at last ALL NEW PHOTOS! Thanks to Willie McElligott for so many wonderful shots. For the most part they were all taken in December 2006 and January 2007. So what you see is what you get at this point. The site is technically very easy to update. So the theory is that i should be able to keep the photos more current. I want to add more personal photos and people photos in general, but i havent decided to make a section for that or just keep it on the blog.

Speaking of the blog, i realize that at this point i can't support comments and i have no idea how we are going to to the archives. So we will have to see how that pans out. For the moment i just wanted to wish everyone a very warm hello and smooches all around!

Regards,

Eva Myrth
