Tourism down winter 2014?

On our first trip to Ixtapa in 1987, we had to stand in line and wait to get into a couple of the restaurants we liked. (There were way fewer restaurants there at that time). I remember on one occasion after we had been seated and served and had our meal, we thought we should ask for our bill so we could make room for others still waiting. The manager came over and asked why we wanted to leave so quickly. I told him we didn't want him to lose any customers still waiting to get in. He said: " No no senior. Please sit and enjoy yourselves. Have dessert, or coffees, or drinks. There is no rush. Please enjoy my restaurant".
It was so much different than the " get them in and get them out" mentality of so many North American restaurants. So refreshing and a great introduction to part of the Mexican way of life. :-)
