PHONY

Despite owning a home on Playa Blanca for 10 years , we met friends on a cruise ship at Otillas . We prefer other places but they had heard about Franco . When the bill came as they had to get back to the ship to depart , it was hideously wrong and Franco became too busy to even acknowledge them . Luckily , as locals we stayed behind but it was quite obvious they were trying to gouge the cruise ship tourists . It took firm words with Franco to get it corrected but by then the ship had left . It' seems selective on who they like to play with . We've never had as unpleasant experience like that in Zihua in our 20 years of visiting . Wrong charges before ? Yes but easily corrected . It left a very bad taste in our mouths . We've heard this story numerous times from other visitors . I agree 100% with Rob .
