La Paz Mexico

A little over a month ago, I had no idea La Paz Mexico existed. I put a rush on my passport and now have such fond memories of this beautiful part of the country andΒ  am thrilled to share with you the highlights of my weekend. A group of food and travel bloggers were whisked off to the Costa Baja Resort and Spa for a fun filled weekend.

The travel was intense, but the memories that were made were worth it. My one regret is not bringing my big camera. I was unsure whether or not to bring it and wished I would have. My point and shoot did pretty good, but you’ll see some borrowed pics from my good friend Amanda who was smarter than I πŸ™‚Β  For the record, I felt completely safe in Mexico the entire time of our trip.

Scroll down and I’ll show you everything πŸ™‚

The group arrived Thursday August 25th to the resort. This is a photo of the lobby. It was open and airy with beautiful views of the pool, beach and marina.

When we checked in, we headed off to our rooms. Amanda snapped this gorgeous photo. It was nice with a view of the pool, giant glass door shower, flat screen tv and comfy bed.

Here is the pool area. Nice and inviting.

 

Friday morning we had breafast right down the beach from our resort, this is The Beach Club. We LOVED spending time here. It was just gorgeous as you can tell in the photos.

Another shot of the pool at The Beach Club. This infinity pool was so pretty. This is definitely a place I would like to hang with my family all day.

Right across from the restaurant where we had breakfast were these fun little cabanas. You can rent these for no extra charge. How inviting does this look?!

Here is the front view of The Beach Club Restaurant. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had a little of everything during our trip….and it was all delicious.

Another view of The Beach Club. We had the whole place to ourselves for breakfast.

Here’s Amanda, Lisa, me and Katie enjoying our breakfast. We had a lovely table right by a waterfall behind us. So relaxing.

No kidding, the best fresh squeezed orange juice I’ve ever had. Wish I had a glass right now πŸ™‚

Friday morning after breakfast we met in the marina to get ready for our snorkeling adventure to Isla Espiritu Santo. This was by far the highlight of my trip.

Just sailing off, passing beautiful boats and yachts.

Getting our sunscreen on and enjoying zipping through the water in our party boat.

I am still in awe of how crystal blue the waters were. It’s hard to believe it until you see it for yourself. Stunning.

Couldn’t help but snap a photo of the fish swimming all around our boat. I have never seen water this clear.

This was the area where the sea lions hung out. They chose a great home πŸ™‚

Love this.

Here we are getting ready to snorkel. The water was perfect. Lots of little fish all around us. The sealions were on the rocky area behind us.

Lori and I. I am ready to go snorkeling again. My boys would love this.

On our way back , we found a group of dolphins that enjoyed racing the boat and jumping over our waves. Adorable! Love this photo Amanda captured. We were all in awe!

There they go. It was a fun game for them to jump through our waves. Little cutie pies!

Saturday morning we headed to Todos Santos to the Hotel California. Very bright and full of personality.

Here is the lobby of Hotel California. Loved the colors.

Walking to the back of the hotel. Great seating areas.

Nice sparkling pool area.
