Hola!

Seeing all the Christmas decorations out already at department stores, I could not help, but think of that famous Spanish Christmas song, "Feliz Navidad".  Thinking of that then led me to think about Mexico and the wonderful food, beaches, and hospitality found down there.  The best hotels are usually situated on the best beaches, so that is how I start planning a Mexican dream getaway.

Cancun is a wonderful place to visit and is located in southeastern Mexico.  Going to Cancun means you get to experience the pleasures of the Caribbean Sea.  Most of the hotels are located in the hotel zone, but you can still find a piece of heaven amongst all this craziness.  Staying in an exclusive hotel located in the more serene section of the hotel zone means you can enjoy the crystalline waters and pristine sand beaches in a more relaxing atmosphere.  Aside from laying on the beach all day, be sure to also indulge in the sensational food found in Cancun.  There are so many great places to try, you can easily eat somewhere different every night during your stay.  What makes food in this part of Mexico different is its mixture of European and Mexican flavors.  The food in this region of Mexico is not spicy and amazing to taste.  Since Cancun is by the sea, there is an abundance of restaurants featuring fresh fish and seafood on the menu.  Fine dining and relaxing days on the beach in Cancun are enough to make your vacation feel like a stay in paradise.

All the way on the western side of Mexico is Cabo San Lucas.  I cannot write about Mexico without including this beautiful section of the Baja Peninsula.  Cabo San Lucas is smaller in size than Cancun.  Cabo San Lucas does not have the population size nor the city-like atmosphere that you would find in Cancun.  A number of Mexico's top 10 luxury hotels are located in Cabo San Lucas and with good reason.  It does feel very Americanized, but  the soft gentle breezes, warm stretches of sand and the warm azure water that is perfect for snorkeling and swimming make it a minor detail.  Sunset walks along the beaches and beautiful scenery make Cabo San Lucas a fabulous Mexican vacation spot.  The El Arco de Cabo San Lucas is such a distinctive rock formation, be sure to include it on your itinerary so you can get an up close view of it.  A trip to Cabo San Lucas will me memorable for many reasons.

There are other great places to visit in Mexico, such as Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta, and Tulum.  Cancun and Cabo San Lucas are probably the most popular destinations for travelers and for good reason.  These two resort areas are so different from each other that it is definitely worth visiting both so you can compare.  It's good to know that a day in paradise is not really that far away, so grab your bikini and fly on out.
