(crazy gringo) seems to have an overly self-depracating opinion of himself. \u00a0There is nothing crazy about this site at all. \u00a0We were easily able to find dozens of accommodations, ranging from budget hotels to five star resorts within minutes. \u00a0They are categorized according to type of accommodation, price and location. \u00a0Similarly, the Destinations Guide has a drop-down menu that took us straight to where we wanted to go. \u00a0The description of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.locogringo.com\/akumal\/\">Akumal Mexico<\/a> got straight to the point and offered links for further information rather than burdening us with more than we needed all at once.<\/p>\n<p>Fans of anything eco-tourist, we were pleased to see Eco Parks and Attractions under the &#8220;To Do &amp; See&#8221; tab. \u00a0We checked out the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.locogringo.com\/past_spotlights\/june2003.cfm\">Jardin Botanico<\/a> (Botanical Gardens) near Puerto Morelos and the text and pictures inspired us to put this 60 hectare eco park on our travel wish list.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most outstanding feature of this website is the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.locogringo.com\/maps\/\">Map Room<\/a> and its aerial photographs that give a distinct overview (literally!) of the major tourist areas.<\/p>\n<p>Although the accommodation listings included visitor ratings, we were unable to click through and read any actual reviews, so we will never know how genuine the\u00a0ratings were. \u00a0Not much else to say here, we are fans of this site.<\/p>\n<form action=\"http:\/\/www.shareasale.com\/m-formredirect.cfm\" method=\"POST\">\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Travel Deals:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jdoqocy.com\/click-3040923-10578435\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Top Exclusive Deals that WOW\u2019d us!<\/span> <\/a>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0Top Vacation Deals to Mexico, Caribbean, Hawaii, Costa Rica and Miami.\u00a0Save up to 55%, free nights, room upgrades &amp;
