Back before Cabo San Lucas became CABO!!, it was a fishing village a lot like the town of Loreto is today. Popularity and growth have eaten away a lot of the Mexican charm one still finds in Loreto. Don’t just take my word for it; in 2011 the New York Times called Loreto one [...]
For snowbirds wishing escape to a warmer climate, I can think of no better place than Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto. Especially now – since the hotel is building clientele, package deals abound. For example, rooms were recently available for $119 per person per night including airfare from LAX plus taxes and [...]
LivingSocial Adventures’ Playa del Carmen trip launched just over eighteen months ago. They recently gave my girlfriend, Alanna, and me the opportunity to check out the trip and share our experiences.

The only thing we found we were lacking in Mexico’s Riviera Maya was time. You can visit Mayan Ruins, zip line through the Jungle, dine at a world-class restaurant and explore a thriving downtown nightlife scene all within the same day. Even after doing all these things, we had only just begun to uncover all [...]
I don’t know about you, but the last thing I need this Christmas is another sweater or kitchen gadget. I don’t want stuff at all. I want an experience that I can treasure for a lifetime.
