A Special Tropical Getaway, the Virtuoso Way

If a warm, tropical getaway is what you are looking for as the weather turns chilly at home, The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort, about 50 minutes from Puerto Vallarta, may be just the answer.

On a recent stay with my husband and two teenage daughters, we spent 3 glorious days soaking up the sun, enjoying luxe treatments at the Remède Spa, and sipping margaritas (non-alcoholic for the girls, the good kind for us).  From the moment we approached the circle drive and open air lobby, we knew we were in for a treat.

We were greeted with The St. Regis’ signature champagne toast, where the host performs a Sabrage, uncorking the Vueve Clicquot with a saber…wow! I could write countless glowing adjectives, but the picture to the right, speaks for itself.

Sequestered on 22 lush acres with spectacular Pacific Ocean views, The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort embraces guests with all the luxuries of a private, intimate hideaway where art and nature beautifully entwine.  In addition to the white sand beach, and sparkling pools — there are three to choose from — you can also hit the links on two Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses or enjoy a match at the tennis center nestled in a palm grove.

From the children’s club to amenities like internet access throughout the property, they have really thought of everything. Nearby, the Marietas Islands beckon with natural beauty and outdoor adventures.  The 120 exquisitely appointed guestrooms and suites with captivating ocean or garden views offer a touch of rustic Provence combined with Mexican art and handcrafted furnishings. St. Regis Butler Service provides for any request, day or night.

Exploring Kolmanskop: Namibia’s Ghost Town in the Desert

Image
I ducked beneath the barrier and jogged across a nearby sand dune. When I reached the first derelict building, I looked behind me and shot Dave an exhilarated grin. I’ve been a rule-follower for much of my life, but I was learning that disobeying authority was kind of invigorating. I couldn’t wipe the smile from my face. There I was, standing in the centre of a Namibian ghost town, surrounded by desert, and Dave and I were the only people around. The town was dark, eerie, and foreboding; the only sound the thudding of my heart and gentle crunch of sand underfoot. I took Dave’s hand in mine, crept forward a few feet, then ducked into the abandoned remains of somebody’s home. We had driven 1,500 kilometres (1,000 miles) out of our way to get here, and on Namibia’s bad roads, that equals a seriously big undertaking. With just two weeks to see Namibia’s highlights, we had packed a ton into our time so far — easing into the trip in Ovita, thr...

Trinidad Cuba Travel Guide: A Beautiful Colonial City

Image
Exploring the Best of Trinidad Cuba Trinidad, Cuba Trinidad is Cuba’s best preserved colonial city, a unique mix of 1850’s architecture & 1950’s cars that feels frozen in time. Check out some of my favorite things to do in Trinidad. Trinidad was one of the first Cuban towns founded by the Spanish, growing wealthy from production of sugar cane, cattle, and tobacco (with the help of African slave labor). The town’s newfound wealth funded extravagant palaces, plazas, and colonial homes for rich plantation owners. Much of the architecture remains, one of the best-preserved historic towns in North America, becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Trinidad Cuba has become one of the most popular cities in the country for travelers, outside of Havana of course! You can walk down cobblestone streets, listen to live music in the plaza, cool off with fresh sugar cane juice, hop into a horse-drawn carriage, chat with locals, or visit fascinating colonial muse...
