Wow Diana, You are the first person I've heard of who agrees with me about sugar attracting mosquitos. I, also have had the same experience for over 20 years. I don't drink soda or have sugar in my coffee. I also don't eat too many sweet pastries, however, on my last trip down, I forgot my good advice and indulged in several pastries the first day and also drank a few beers in the evening (which turns to sugar).

That combo seemed to tilt the odds towards being bitten! I had a problem for quite a while and finally realized what was happening. I then cut out the pastries and a whole lot of fruit, but I couldn't seem to stop that 2 beers an evening, but it didn't seem to be a problem.

There you have it. I am not in La Manzanilla currently this winter, but I wish you a wonderful time. It is a special place!
