Mexico. Really? River crocodiles in Jalisco. Really. A drive around the hotel here at Cuixmala can be a little,well, misleading. Deceptive. Zebras graze alongside hearty Eland and you half expect to see giraffe hove into view at any minute. River crocodiles bask with their mouths agape to regulate their temperature, as their cousins do in so many parts of Africa. It's frankly a little weird to be seeing all this on the western coast of Mexico but here they are, thanks to the eccentricities of British billionaires. The hotel here was once a private homestead with game roaming its 25,000 acres but now it caters to those seeking a true escape from the ordinary and its grounds are an enormous nature preserve. Although one thinks some of the local fauna isn't preserved for long around these specimens.
