A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

New training centre opens in Puerto Escondido


New training centre opens in Puerto Escondido

Updated 20 May, 2012
 An initiative of the hotels, motels and restaurants association of Puerto Escondido will come to fruition May 21 when a new training centre opens for classes. The project got its start when local tourist service operators agreed there was a need to ensure a higher level of quality of service in the local tourist industry, in order to meet the expectations of visitors.
The need became more evident during Semana Santa this year when accommodations were packed and services were stretched to the limit by the large number of visitors. Service providers, recognizing the attraction of Puerto Escondido to many tourists, felt it was important to build a competitive work force that offered a higher and better level of service.
The new school, known as CECAPIH (Centro de Capacitación para la Industria Hotelera), will not have fixed classrooms of its own but will use the facilities of the various hotels involved in the project.
The courses offered, and the locations of the respective classes, are:
• Receptionist, Hotel Suites Villa Sol
• Waiter, Hotel Santa Fe
• Housekeeping , Hotel Barlovento
• Kitchen, Restaurante Mangos
• Maintenance, Hotel Suites VillaSol
• Beverages, Hotel Posada Real
• English language for hotels and restaurants, Hotel Arcoiris
• Culture of service, Hotel Arcoiris.
The two-hour classes will run daily for three months, and be given by instructors qualified in the various specialties. There is no cost to students, who may be of either sex and must be over 18.
Anyone interested in registering may do so through Hotel Surf Olas Altas, Calle del Morro No. 310, Playa Zicatela; telephone 582 3740 y 582 2315.
Coordinator of the project is Sr. Melesio Armenta of Restaurant Mango’s, who is working with hotels association president Austreberto Garfias to put it all together.
