The scene was filmed in Manzanillo - a city and the seat of the municipality of Manzanillo in the Mexican state of Colima. The city is known as the "world capital of the sailfish." Since 1957, important national and international fishing competitions have been held here. Don Antenor Patiño, who made a fortune in tin, built his dream house overlooking Manzanillo Bay in the 1960s. He named the house Las Hadas, a historical name meaning "fairies." This name was given to this area decades earlier by sailors who saw the ocean sparkling with light at night. The sparks were caused by phosphorus in the water, but the effect was purely magical.

Patiño began inviting friends here and started building Las Hadas, turning it into a world-class resort and recreation center. In 1974, he opened a $33 million whitewashed resort with Moorish motifs, which attracted 300 tourists from around the world for one of the hottest parties of the year." (source BanderasNews.com)
