We like Maui but are looking for something less expensive and just as nice. Want safe swimming and snorkeling and a great condo with water views. Any recommendations?

Well, it depends on your age and interests. There are many lovely towns in Mexico. Here are a few that are really beautiful:

San Cristobal De las Casas, Chiapas. -> Beautiful highland town with colonial buildings. Fascinating indian villages surround it, while the atmosphere in town is at the same time traditional and cosmopolitan. Not too expensive either.

San Miguel de Allende. -> Situated in Central Mexico. Cobbled streets and old colonial buildings. You get the arid landscape too, lol. Very popular with American retirees.

Playa Del Carmen-> Not so traditionally Mexican, but it has a great setting on the caribbean. Great restaurants and atmosphere. Slightly more expensive. Nice safe, sandy beaches with great diving nearby.

Hope this helps.
