Trying to incorporate Mexican flavors into a Swiss-based diet is virtually impossible (you can’t even find jalapenos here! The Gentleman/Husband and I joke something is Swiss spicy just because it’s red), but after our honeymoon, I was determined to continue to try. Barbacoa was on tap after realizing we’d brought back a pack of seasoning…

Discover Secrets Moxche: Best All-Inclusive Dining
As mentioned, we selected Secrets Moxche for a few key reasons, one being that reviewers raved about its food and drink options. The delicious cuisine we enjoyed was definitely the best of any all-inclusive I’ve been to and for that reason I’d absolutely recommend a trip- our favorites were the Argentinian steak and Japanese restaurants….
Secrets Moxche: A Honeymoon Paradise
After so much travel and celebration, we chose Secrets Moxche near Playa del Carmen for some relaxation time to plant our toes in the sand and not too much else. While in the past I haven’t been the biggest fan of an all inclusive vacation- mainly because I’m here for nice food and drinks and…
Hyatt Ziva Cancun
A few weeks ago I received a text from a girlfriend asking if I could do two weeks in Australia with her on a whim. Andddd this is why we are friends! I told her my big vacation budget for the year had been spent. So, we settled on a long weekend in Cancun with…
El Farallon
I’m just back from a long Labor Day weekend in Cabo, one of the most naturally beautiful places that I’ve yet to see. I just love that place. Wish I lived a little more centrally so that it could be my “Miami.” Ya’ know, that 2 hour flight to get away from it all for…
Unico 20 87
Recently, I returned from a long weekend at the beautiful, new-ish, all-inclusive resort, Unico 20 87. I must admit, I wasn’t jazzed about the idea of going to Mexico. While I LOVE Mexico, there have just been so many murders and whatnot, I thought the Caribbean seemed like the more logical option. Also, I’m never…
Stuff I Ate at Hotel San Cristobal
The Hotel San Cristobal was not only gorgeous, the sunsets spectacular, but the food was overwhelmingly wonderful. So much so that there was a chef party under the moonlight I so desperately wanted to crash. And everyone knows the ruin across the street full of chefs can’t be wrong. First order of business upon arriving…
Hanging Out at Hotel San Cristobal
I spent my three gorgeous days at the Hotel San Cristobal strolling the beach, floating around reading in a pink inner tube, and sitting poolside Shazaming the hell out of a constant bad ass 1970’s surfer vibe playlist. It was true love. Like any tiny design hotel, I didn’t want to leave, so I took…
Hotel San Cristobal
In my never ending quest of taking romantic vacations by myself, you know I just had to parlay a long weekend in Todos Santos on the front end of a San Diego work trip. I had been reading about the Bunkhouse Group’s newest hotel, Hotel San Cristobal, in Todos Santos for months and became OBSESSED….
Rivera del Rio
When you’re in Puerto Vallarta for just barely a day, you want something inexpensive and close enough to the airport. This is how I landed on the hotel, Rivera del Rio. The photos online showcased a funky, nine room house with claims that Elle and Vogue had done photo shoots there. At $79 ($79!), breakfast…
Bravos
Menu reading may challenge travelling as a more frequent (and certainly more of a bargain) hobby. So, prior to embarking on my 24 hour Mexican jaunt, I scoured menus and resto reviews for the best possible experience. Collaborating with the concierge, I found myself at Bravos. Let me put it this way… I arrived 15…
Hills of Jalisco
One more time for the people in the back – it was my third Mexican jaunt this fall and I was beginning to get nervous the airport folks would think I was a drug mule. Thankfully, Mexico let me back in the beautiful country. A 24 hour layover in Mexico to keep my airline status…If I…
