My husband and I recently returned from the Zoetry Casa Del Mar Los Cabos on our Valentines Anniversary trip. This is one of THE BEST all-inclusive resorts we’ve ever enjoyed and we’ve been to a lot of them. My favorite thing about this resort is what they call the “Beach Club”. Directly on the beach, there is a heated pool with swim up bar, a hot tub, a restaurant, comfortable lounge chairs on the sand or by the pool, with umbrellas, plush towels and the best service we’ve ever experienced. There were plenty of wonderful and friendly attendants to bring drinks, a cold bottle of water, a fresh towel, whatever you needed. Talk about relaxing!! The sight and sound of the waves, the pelicans diving for a fish, and best of all whales playing just off the shore line! This is my favorite destination in Mexico and now Zoetry Cabo is one of my favorite resorts anywhere!


As all of us know already, tax refund time is right around the corner. As a mother of two, the first thing I think of is paying off all my debt. Then I would stash some in savings and spend a little bit on myself.
A great idea for those who have already starting booking their next vacation or for those who are just beginning, refunds are a great opportunity to get those vacations paid in full. Maybe even upgrade your room category if your vacation is already paid in full.
As a lot of you know already, the sooner you book the better rate you will receive. We do also offer options when booking that does not require the full balance of the vacation up front, just a minimal deposit. Then the remainder of the balance would be due 45 days prior to travel.
Another great idea for the last minute travelers without their passports, go apply and get them expedited for a minimal fee.
A lot of people are already booking their spring break vacations and availability is limited, so don’t feel that waiting last minute is going to get you a better rate. Very rarely you will find last minute deals. You will actually find that if you would have booked them sooner, with just that minimal deposit, you could have saved hundreds!
Call us today and get that deposit made to secure the lowest rate possible and then pay the balance when your refund arrives!


The Riu Vallarta is a fantastic choice for a family, couple, or group looking for a great value all-inclusive hotel on Mexico’s Pacific coast. The Riu Vallarta sits on Banderas Bay in Riviera Nayarit, the newer northern part of Puerto Vallarta, and is one of my most highly recommended based on the value it provides. For the west coast of Mexico, it has one of the nicest beachfront’s that I’ve ever seen with an expansive white sandy beach. The Riu Vallarta is one of two towers on the resort, the other being the Riu Jalisco, and is the more contemporarily styled as compared to the Riu Jalisco’s more traditional Mexican-hacienda style. Banderas Bay is beautiful at night with the mountains surrounding it and you can even see whales in the Bay from your room’s balcony at the Riu Vallarta mid-December through April. Throughout my visit, I found the rooms, pool, lobby, restaurants, etc. were all lovely and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the Riu Vallarta to anyone looking for a good time at a great price.

When considering a trip to Puerto Vallarta, it’s important to consider the different sections that hotels may be located, which vary considerably in the age of hotels, level of development of surrounding area, beach, accessibility to town, etc.
Puerto Vallarta Airport is located in between what’s known as the Marina Vallarta Area and the Hotel Zone, which are the most developed and commercialized parts of Puerto Vallarta and where the old town is located. Many of the hotels in these regions are high rise hotels in urban settings and you can walk from the lobby of some into downtown Puerto Vallarta, where there’s some great shopping, dining, and night life. The South Zone of Puerto Vallarta, where Mismaloya Beach is located, is the least developed and for me has the most lush and tropical feel. The Dreams Puerto Vallarta, the first all-inclusive I stayed at in Puerto Vallarta, is located in the South Zone and is a great choice to consider especially for families or those who want a more laid-back, secluded, and tropical setting.
Riviera Nayarit is the newest development section of Puerto Vallarta, where the spectacular Dreams Villamagna, Riu Palace Pacifico, and, my personal favorite, the Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit, are located. All the hotels in Riviera Nayarit are within a reasonable cab ride to downtown Puerto Vallarta but most don’t have tourist friendly city life available within walking distance. This is where the best beaches in the region are located and the newest hotels have been built. Apple Vacationers rated Puerto Vallarta the #1 destination in 2010. So whatever your needs are in a tropical beach vacation, there’s something to please everyone in Mexico’s Pacific Coast paradise of Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit.
