The world's best husband and I love many different kinds of trips. One of our favorite getaways is the all-inclusive resort. When we lived on the east coast, we indulged in many of the Caribbean Islands. Now that we are west coast dwellers, exploring Mexico, California, and Hawaii are the new goals. For this trip we opted for Secrets Puerto Los Cabos Golf and Spa Resort. It was a two-hour plane ride and an excellent choice all around.
Feliz Navidad
I absolutely love traveling around the holidays. Not on the holidays, but in the time surrounding them due to the many glorious decorations.
Entretenimiento
As luck would have it, our balcony (which included a jetted hot tub!) overlooked the nightly shows. Our favorite was the Mexican Dancing Celebration.
Foods and Boozes
If you have met me at all, you know I am all about trying new food and enjoying a quality cocktail.
Our favorite restaurant here was the Italian, Portofino, followed closely by the Mexican, El Patio. We also enjoyed the daily creative cocktails (at a swim up pool bar and at a beach bar with swings) and The Doc is now a big fan of Dos Equis.
Catharsis
Sometimes life will throw you some interesting, stressful curveballs. We have definitely been going through a lot lately. Sometimes travel therapy is just what the proverbial doc orders. Our very favorite part of the trip was the beach. Not exactly swim-able, but we walked forever, in awe of the beauty. A deep breath, a good chat, and nature's finest can help calm the most frustrated of souls.
My only knocks on this resort: the weird no-reservation system for the restaurants, and they post offerings that they don't follow through on (we could never locate the batting cage and they were not showing the World Cup anywhere on site. In Mexico. It was a soccer mind-boggler.)
Do you have a place to escape to for your mental health? We saw someone with a shirt that said, "Cabo, Cheaper than Therapy."
Indeed.
