Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Ajijic?
The best area to stay in Ajijic is the central village, particularly around the main plaza and along Calle Colón.

This area is the heart of Ajijic, known for its cobblestone streets, colourful buildings, and the iconic San Andrés Church. It's very walkable, with most shops, art galleries, and restaurants concentrated within a few blocks of the plaza and extending towards the malecon (lakeside promenade). You'll find a blend of local life and amenities suiting visitors here.

Couples often find this central area ideal. They can enjoy leisurely strolls along the lakefront, dine at a variety of restaurants, and browse the local artisan shops. Many hotels in this area offer a more intimate, boutique experience, some with lovely courtyards and gardens.

For those seeking a slightly quieter stay but still wanting easy access to the village's activities, areas just west of the main plaza towards La Floresta offer a good balance.
When is the best time to go to Ajijic?
The best time to visit Ajijic is during the dry season, which runs from October to May, offering warm, sunny days and comfortable evenings.

This period avoids the rainy season (June to September) when afternoon showers are common. The weather during the dry season is consistently pleasant, with average daytime temperatures ranging from 24°C to 28°C (75°F to 82°F) and cooler nights, great for enjoying outdoor activities and exploring the town.

November to March is particularly popular, attracting visitors seeking to escape colder climates. During these months, the town is bustling with a friendly mix of locals and international visitors. You'll find plenty of cultural events, markets, and social gatherings, making it an ideal time for those who enjoy a lively community feel.

If you prefer a quieter experience with fewer crowds, consider visiting in October or May. The weather is still excellent, but the peak season rush hasn't fully begun or has started to wind down.
Where can I find the best nightlife in Ajijic?
Ajijic offers a more relaxed pace than some larger Mexican cities, but it still has several spots for evening entertainment, mostly concentrated along its main thoroughfare.

The primary area for nightlife in Ajijic is along Colón Street and the adjoining streets leading to the Malecon. Here you'll find a collection of bars and restaurants that stay open later into the evening. Some establishments offer live music, usually acoustic sets or local bands playing traditional Mexican music, particularly on weekends. You'll find places suitable for a quiet drink or a more social gathering.

Closer to the Malecon, especially around the pier, there are a few casual bars where you can enjoy a drink with views of Lake Chapala. These spots tend to be more relaxed and attract a mix of locals and visitors. They're good for a pre-dinner drink or a low-key evening.

For those looking for something a bit livelier, there are a handful of establishments that feature DJs or more upbeat music, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights. These are typically found just off Colón Street.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Ajijic.
How much is the nightly rate at a Ajijic hotel?
Prices for hotels in Ajijic often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $46 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
