It’s that time of year again, when bad weather and uncomfortable family gatherings become the norm. Some people wait all year for the holidays; they love giving gifts, caroling, and having snowball fights. But others, who are maybe a little Grinchy, would rather avoid the snow, awkward family conversations, and overabundance of false cheerfulness entirely.
If you are one of those “humbug” people, consider taking a vacation. Think about it: you could skip an entire week of shoveling snow off the driveway, miss out on the inappropriate jokes from your Great Aunt Millie, and avoid the chaos surrounding the malls! Read the rest of this entry »

Many options for Mexico vacations exist along the nation’s golden coast. Puerto Vallarta resorts, vacations in Acapulco or visits to places more remote in Mexico’s smaller sport fishing towns all offer attractive Mexico vacations options.
Puerto Vallarta may be the most famous of these Mexico resort destinations. The city consists of about 500 square miles of beautiful landscape in Mexico’s state of Jalisco—everything from gorgeous beaches to the cultural attractions and quaint architecture of downtown Puerto Vallarta make vacations to this famous city a fabulous experience.
Puerto Vallarta vacations have been popular since the city became a famous resort destination since the 1960s. With its average daily high temperature of 86 degrees and its beautiful beaches and coastlines, Puerto Vallarta really lives up to its nickname of “The Friendliest City in the World.”
Despite the pleasantries of Puerto Vallarta and its resorts, there are many travelers who prefer to stay off the beaten tourism path of major resort destinations—a fine option for such travelers might be visiting the Riviera Nayarit.
Nayarit is a city that meets Puerto Vallarta along its border, the Ameca River. Traditionally a farming state, Nayarit has recently sprung a bit of tourism of its own, ranking second in tourism investments in Mexican states in 2008.
A perfect area for travelers seeking Puerto Vallarta resort vacations without quite the amount of tourist traffic the famous destination typically attracts, the Riviera Nayarit is slightly removed from the traditional vacation areas, yet is still served by the Purto Vallarta international airport, contains all the beauty and activities Puerto Vallarta does and is lined with new and gorgeous resorts and hotels.
The Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit may be one of the finest options available for travelers seeking a first-class Mexico resort experience. Rated 6 golden apples by Apple Vacations and 4.5 out of 5 by over 500 TripAdvisor ratings, the Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit offer 1000 square foot rooms, more than double the size of typical Mexico resorts in Purto Vallarta, Acapulco, Cancun and any other famous resort destination.
Many suites contain Jacuzzis and other first-class amenities. Dining at the Grand Vela Riviera Nayarit includes 5 restaurants serving Mediterranean, Italian, French, Mexican and American food. Run as an all inclusive hotel, guests all inclusive vacation packages include stay, food, drinks and all gratuity as well.
Activities at the Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit include all the watersports Mexico’s golden coast cities are famous for hosting, including sunfish sailing, snorkeling, boating, Jetskis and of course, the sportfishing that helped make Mexico’s West Coast cities famous vacation destinations in the first place.
The Spa Grand Velas is considered one of the finest attractions at Grand Velas. It’s actually over 16,000 square feet, contains 20 treatment rooms and has a menu of spa treatments and services that hits triple digits.

Live Like Kings:
There’s something about hammocks that can make anyone feel like a Greek god. At the Mexico all inclusive Dorado Pacifico, hammocks are spread out all over their tremendous beachfront gardens. Seriously, all that was missing from this Apple vacation was someone to hand-feed me grapes and fan me with palms. It’s located in the city of Ixtapa, on the soft sands of El Palmar Beach, which is a convenient location as the main commercial centers are only a short walk away.
This majestic and modern high-rise features a tropical atrium in the hotel lobby and 285 ocean view rooms. Yes, all of their rooms are ocean view! Of course all standard amenities expected from an all inclusive resort are available, such as hairdryers, satellite TV, AC, etc.
Super Duper Clean:
At Dorado Pacifico the 5 restaurants with various cuisines, the 3 cocktail lounges, and the entire resort are all certified ”H”, for having high level of hygienic standards in food, beverage, and overall accommodations. There’s an Olympic size swimming pool for all to enjoy, a swim up bar, and a children’s pool complete with slides. Free wifi is available everywhere. Oceanfront golf is nearby at the Palma Real Marina Golf Course.
Have Kids but Don’t Know What to Do With Them?
The fun, enriching, and supervised “Kid’s Club Dorin” is available for kids 4-12 at no extra charge. Also, the food’s on the house… kids 12 and under eat free! Additionally, babysitting is available for the dirt cheap price of $3.50 per hour. Relax in peace knowing this resort is not a gratuitous “party” hotel, and no Spring Breakers are permitted; there will be no filming of Girls Gone Wild in front of the kiddos. So there is NO excuse to let your kids hold you back from taking a real Apple vacation. Ixtapa Mexico all inclusive resorts don’t get much better than this.
