Hacienda Petac in Yucatan, Mexico

Hotel Review: After the 25th "I'm exhausted and I can't keep working these crazy hours," I decided it was time to force my husband to take a vacation, and although he was (and is) a classic workaholic, he sheepishly agreed. Knowing that I travel somewhat extensively for my job, he left the destination up to me. My choice — a magnificently restored hacienda in the Yucatan region of Mexico, known simply as Hacienda Petac. After a short flight from our home in South Florida, we began our journey via rental car to the tiny village of Petac, about 30 minutes outside the city of Merida. I should probably explain what I mean by tiny. I mean two streets, a soccer field, a basketball court, two churches of different denominations, a corn grinding factory , known locally as a tortillaria, as well as three corner stores known as tiendas. That's what I mean by small. In truth, the village of Petac exists because of the Hacienda. Consisting of roughly 170 residents, m...

Formby Hall Golf Resort and Spa review - a relaxing getaway for couples - Gemma Jaleel

Image
It's a cliché but when you're married with kids it can be hard enough finding the time to go to the bathroom on your own, let alone spending time with your partner. So a relaxing massage and an overnight stay for the hubby and I at Formby Hall Golf Resort and Spa sounded like a much-needed break from arguing with our threenager (that's what comes after the terrible twos) about which colour socks she wants to wear. Set in almost 200 acres of parkland, Formby Hall has four- star facilities including a spa and health club and is currently undergoing a £2.4m refurbishment. The resort is also home to two golf courses including the 72 par 18-hole championship Old Course and PGA Golf Academy which brings visitors from all over Europe. The newly refurbished luxury spa , including a dedicated bistro, is housed in the building opposite the hotel on the first floor. Look inside the revamped Formby Hall spa and golf resort.

Taste of Mexico - Norwegian (NCL) Review

This was a family cruise with our 2 daughters 10 and 13. We drove down a day early from Northern CA to LA and stayed at the Best Western Plus in San Pedro which included a parking space for our car for the duration of the cruise. Basic hotel but breakfast included. Small pool and fitness room. Very nice and friendly staff. Shuttle to the port provided (10 minute ride). Embarkation process: Embarkation was pretty quick. After dropping our bags at the curb, checked in at the cruise desk and within 20 minutes we were on board (around noon). We brought 6 bottles of wine so were directed to a table where they put sicker son the bottles and we were charged $15 a bottle corkage fee . We went straight to kids club to register on deck 13 which was a good thing because a long line started behind us. It was Spring break so there were 1000 kids on board. We received a warning ahead of time (email) that some age groups may max out. This didn’t happen to us but I believe the More 6-9 yea...
