Colima is Mexico's second-smallest state, a compact Pacific coast territory dominated by the twin volcanic peaks of Volcán de Fuego and Nevado de Colima. It pairs the whitewashed Pueblo Mágico of Comala with the resort and cargo port city of Manzanillo, self-styled the Sailfish Capital of the World, plus black-sand beaches, lime orchards around Tecomán, and a low-key colonial capital in Colima City.

Overview
Colima state's lodging splits between the beach resorts and business hotels of the port city Manzanillo on the Pacific coast, the inland state capital Colima City with its colonial Centro Historico, the Pueblo Magico of Comala known for hacienda-style boutique stays in the foothills of the Volcan de Colima, and the smaller black-sand beach town of Cuyutlan popular with domestic weekend travelers.

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Reserve Peninsula de Santiago and Las Hadas beachfront resorts several weeks ahead for Semana Santa and the December holidays, when Manzanillo's occupancy peaks
Colima City's downtown hotels around the cathedral fill fastest during the Feria de Colima in late January and early February
A car or rideshare is worth budgeting for if staying in Comala, since the hacienda-style properties sit outside the town center and Colima City is roughly 20-30 minutes away
Manzanillo's Playa Azul corridor offers the most consistent midrange value, with several branded business hotels a short walk or drive from the beach
Cuyutlan hotels fill up on weekends and Mexican national holidays with domestic beach travelers, so weekday stays are easier to book on short notice
Pack light layers for Comala evenings, since the elevated foothill setting near the Volcan de Colima runs noticeably cooler than the coastal towns after dark
