You could fully enjoy Palmaïa like another luxury all-inclusive beach resort and have a grand time simply eating delicious locally-sourced food and drinking craft cocktails while being mesmerized by the turquoise Caribbean Sea. Or you could do that and some self-discovery if you go in with an open mind and let a shaman light you […]

Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach – Cancun
I always try to travel with an open mind, but the truth is that I have high expectations and sometimes reality just doesn’t live up to it. The Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach turned out to be another pleasant surprise. That may possibly have to do with the mindset I went into it with, though. […]

The destination as a whole is officially Los Cabos and is comprised of three main areas, San Jose del Cabo, located closest to the international airport, Cabo San Lucas, also often called Land’s End as it […]
