Euro Travel & More

When a friend recommended this boutique hotel to us a few years ago, she told me that if you are thinking of partying and drinking – then this is not the place for you.  This place is about relaxation, yoga, healthy eating and lots of sun and the sea.  Children are not encouraged so i’ve heard.   The family cabanas has a kitchenette – so you can cook and bbq if you want, we choose an Ocean view room and it was lovely looking out watching the sun rise and set.  But let me warn you – not to expect too much – there is no cell phone connection nor a phone available for you to call but there is Wi-fi around – but it can get weird and slow at times.  No tv in the Cabanas too – so forget about bringing your xbox 360 with you.

For those looking to revitalize or re-kindle your relationship with your spouse or to find yourself – or direction – this is really a place for you.  The hotel staff leave you alone a lot of time – the maid does clean your rooms but only ever few days but if you needed anything extra – you can always contact the front desk.

Staying at the Azucar is like going back to basics – and if you want to enjoy this dream holiday – make sure you leave your work and home affairs well taken care of – for the duration of your stay there – because you will not be able to enjoy yourself – if you don’t.  This place is powered by Solar energy – pretty neat right? So if sometimes, the power goes off a few times during the day or night – don’t get too upset.  There is no air-con in the room – but there are ceiling fans in your cabanas.

To get to the hotel – it’s about 1.5hrs of driving and I strongly advised you to rent your own car at the airport.   There are  parking space around the hotel grounds – so no worries about that – because the night security will help you park your car if necessary.  there are no restaurants within the hotel – but food is within walking distance – and there are convenient stores nearby too – for you to fill up your fridge and temporary kitchen. Azucar is right in the middle of an Eco village – so like I said – do not expect a lot of high tech gadget – enjoy the sound of the waves – and talking to your partner and fall asleep in each others arms. And yes, there are bugs and mosquitoes – so if they are attracted to you – bring your wipes and repellent.

We were on a R & R mood when we stayed a few days in  Lagunas de Montebello.  Beautiful ! but darn cold to swim in it – so we didn’t – what a waste right?   I’ve always loved Mexico – and Lagunas de Montebello is one place that I want to visit again soon since the weather is going crazy here in Canada – and snow is expected soon and it’s only October.

So you are heading out to Cancun or Mexico or even to Club Med – you go for your tan – you go get your pedicure done – after all you want your toes to look nice at the beach right when you are wearing your flip flops.  But wait a minute – what about losing 5 pounds before going?  first – you would look better in your bathing suit and secondly you don’t have to be guilty about eating too much.  By the time you are done with Cancun – you will be back to the same size.  For those who have stubborn belly fat like myself click here to lose stubborn belly fat .  That’s right sisters!  think of those sexy nights – you want to spend with the boyfriend or spouse – make it a week to remember.

I had to laugh out loud when i saw the hoteliers in Mexico trying this tagline .. well not in those exact words.. to lure tourists to Mexico after the swine flu scare.

Hotels on Mexico’s Caribbean coast on Tuesday offered free vacations for three years to any tourist catching swine flu while on holiday there, in a bid to counter swine flu’s blow to the industry.

I wouldn’t go to Mexico even if they offer me .. a lifetime free stay .. at this moment.. until .. i can be sure .. that there is no more epidemic in Mexico.. or anywheres around the world.   But desperate situation requires desperate measures.. and I do applaud the Hoteliers in Mexico for coming up with something so innovative .. and you can’t really blame them for trying right.

One of the best things about traveling is the many different cultures that you get to experience and also you get lots of ideas to bring home with you to make your home a more comfortable and unique place to live in.  After all, one can’t go to Mexico on a daily basis right? So what better way then to bring Mexico to your home and have a holiday everyday.

If you’ve ever been to Mexico you’ll know that it is such a vibrant  place and also a place for relaxation; the sun, the sea and just a lot of love, the people  from Mexico just love life itself.  Mexico is a country of smiles and even though most are not making a lot of money they are mostly very happy and content folks.

After my first trip to Mexico, I couldn’t help but want to decorate my new house with saltillo tiles to bring a little Mexico into my home to remind me of the many wonderful memories that Mexico brought me.  South Texas Saltillo Connection is the best resource for all the best quality Mexican decor one may need.  I hear they have excellent customer service but for me it is the wide selection of hand made Mexican tiles that got my attention.  So if you are like me and want to spice up your home with a little Mexican decor, be sure to check South Texas Saltillo Connection first.
