Soak In The Love At The St. Regis Punta Mita

We can't get enough of alluring Valentine's Day hotel packages. They make a great excuse to indulge. Should you need a little warmth, the St. Regis Punta Mita's Soak in the Love package offers the perfect weekend indulgence. The hotel is located within Mexico's exclusive beach community along the shores of the Riviera Nayarit.

The indulgence begins at arrival as you sip champagne and receive a mini massage at check in. The evening includes an intimate three-course, candlelit dinner on the beach prepared by award-winning Chef Sylvain Desbois, live music by a Mexican trio and a bottle of chilled champagne hidden in the sand. While out, turndown service will transform the room with flower petals on the bed and scented fragrant candles. The next day couples will then be treated to a unique Valentine's Day 90-minute massage at the renowned Remède Spa, followed by a romantic bath ceremony with aromatic candles, bath salts and flower petals in the private bathing pavilion. To finish off the weekend, an a la carte breakfast will be served in bed, before a late check-out. "Soak in the Love" begins at $555 for two including a two-night stay at The St. Regis Punta Mita, representing more than a 25 percent savings. Valid February 10-15; beach dinner is available February 12-14; subject to availability. For reservations, contact 52 329 291 5800, or visit www.stregis.com/puntamita.

Riviera Nayarit - Mexico's New Riviera Destination

You've doubtlessly heard of -- and perhaps been to -- Puerto Vallarta. Well, just north of there, along central Mexico's Pacific coast, is the state of Nayarit. The coast runs from the tony all-inclusive resorts of Nuevo Vallarta (very near to Puerto Vallarta in the southern part of the state), through the elite and fabulously expensive Punta Mita and up through a series of seaside enclaves catering to all classes of tourists, ending in the sleepy town of San Blas. This coastal region has recently been designated "Riviera Nayarit" and has all the makings of an up-and-coming luxury destination -- and if you're in the market for a vacation home, this area could be your best investment. Let me take you through a couple of the highlights, from the famous polo field in the hipster community to the exclusive resort where the governor likes to stay (no really, he was there when I was, and it wasn't his first time).
