Yes, we were sitting by the pool, barefoot, in a family run hotel in Puerto Escondido, when we saw this scorpion walking around on the floor... Pretty close to us too! We called the owners of the hotel, since we didnt know how to handle scorpions, and she got a metal ash tray, and put it on the scorpion and stomped on it. Then she took the cigarette that she was smoking and sacrificed it by extinguishing it on the scorpions tail. I dont know if that had much use, but we were all impressed. In my reasonable Spanish I asked her how dangerous it would have been if this one would have stung us. She said this one would have been a bit like a bee sting, not dangerous, just painful. It was about 5-10 cms long. She said there were much bigger, darker ones in the hills that were dangerous though.
