Live like Zorro

Posted by Staff in Luxury Monday, Mexico

When traveling to Mexico there are tons of huge luxurious resorts to stay at…but consider experiencing the real Mexico, instead of spending your days sipping Piña Coladas at a nine-acre mega-pool.

A perfect place to set the tone of a “real Mexico” vacation is the Hacienda San Angel. Perched on a hillside in Puerto Vallarta’s Old Town, above the famed Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe Church, sits this beautifully restored cluster of haciendas.

The resort consists of five colonial style homes, all connected by charming gardens and cobblestone paths. The first hacienda on the property was purchased from Richard Burton, who originally bought it as a Valentine’s Day gift to his then wife Susan. Each hacienda is retrofitted with all the modern luxuries one needs….but decorated with antiques and old-world charm.

The hotel is perfect for romance or the glamour seeking roombody (a.k.a homebody on vacation)….as dinner can be served on your private terrace and spa services are done in the comfort of your room….this Hacienda really lets your inner Howard Hughes shine.

The property has three swimming pools, each with it’s own unique vantage point of Puerto Vallarta, and in keeping with the authentic ambiance, the Hacienda host a nightly complimentary hors d’oeuvres and cocktail hour set to the music of a live Mexican trio.

The beauty of this luxury gem is that you don’t have to have a bank account like Hughes to lock yourself up for the weekend….rooms start at $290. To book visit haciendasanangel.com

Smoothest ride on a plane: seats over the wings

Most legroom on a plane in coach: emergency rows….BUT sometimes these seats do not recline!!!!

Seats with highest survival odds in a crash: the back of the plane….sorry first class, you loose, for once….
