"The ofrenda at this Three-Key property will be traditional with a modern touch—constructed by staff using recycled materials—and guests will see it as they process through the grounds on November 1 during the hotel's parade of La Catrina skeletons (they can vote for their favorite at the end of the route); on November 2 a special Día de Muertos menu will be offered at the hotel's open-air restaurant, Alma." - David Shortell
"I found a coastal retreat that offers a reprieve about an hour north of Puerto Vallarta." - Rachel Chang
"Framed by coastal rainforest and cliff-top perches, the resort represents an apex of luxe seclusion with over 100 suites, six pools, celebrity-chef dining, and a cavernous 27,000-square-foot spa offering bespoke treatments (cold-stone Ayurvedic massages and meditative sound baths are options). Accommodation choices span secluded cliff-top villas, mountain treehouses with retractable walls and private plunge pools, and multi-bedroom residential villas with private infinity pools, hot tubs, and wine cellars. The property is celebrated for its sublime setting and high-end service, but transfers from the nearest airport frequently exceed an hour and a half; accessibility is limited due to terrain, valet parking is provided, and a pet policy applies with substantial fees for signature villas." - Emily Hochberg Emily Hochberg Emily Hochberg is a writer and editor with over 15 years of experience specializing in travel, lifestyle, home, parenting, and reviews.
