Savor the Flavors of Los Cabos: A Culinary Exploration Beyond the All-Inclusive

By | Blog, Dining, Mexico | No Comments

Good Morning, Fellow Foodie and Travel Enthusiasts!

Are you a culinary adventurer with an insatiable desire to explore new flavors? Do you love the idea of staying at a luxurious all-inclusive resort but also crave the thrill of exploring local dining gems? Then Los Cabos is the perfect destination for your next vacation! Nestled at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, Los Cabos offers a culinary landscape that is as diverse and vibrant as its stunning beaches and vibrant nightlife.

A Culinary Paradise Awaits

From street tacos bursting with savory meats to gourmet seafood dishes crafted by world-renowned chefs, Los Cabos has emerged as a true haven for food lovers from around the globe. Whether you are a fan of traditional Mexican cuisine or are eager to indulge in innovative fusion dishes, this paradise offers something to tantalize every palate.

Why Stay at an All-Inclusive?

All-inclusive resorts are incredibly appealing for several reasons:

  • Convenience: Everything you need is right at your fingertips, from sumptuous meals and snacks to unlimited beverages.
  • Value: Knowing your food and drinks are covered can make budgeting your trip a lot easier.
  • Luxury: Many all-inclusive resorts offer gourmet dining options, top-shelf beverages, and world-class amenities as part of the package.
  • Peace of mind: With all the essentials covered, you can truly relax and let go of the day-to-day planning stress.

However, one of the misconceptions about all-inclusive stays is that you’re confined to resort dining. Los Cabos blows this notion out of the water by offering delicious opportunities both inside and outside the resort.

Stepping Out for Unforgettable Culinary Adventures

Los Cabos encourages you to do what many seasoned travelers swear by: mix the best of both worlds. Here’s why it’s perfectly okay – and absolutely rewarding – to venture beyond your resort for dining experiences:

  • Local Flavor: The authentic taste of Los Cabos can best be experienced in local eateries, where traditional recipes passed down through generations are proudly served.
  • Unique Dishes: From Baja-style fish tacos to grilled octopus, stepping out allows you to sample unique dishes that may not be available within the resort.
  • Diverse Options: Los Cabos is a melting pot of culinary influences with options like Japanese-Mexican fusion at Nick-San, or farm-to-table experiences at Flora Farms.
  • Immersive Experience: Dining outside the resort allows you to immerse yourself in the local culture, meet local chefs, and engage with fellow foodies.
  • Scenic Settings: Many restaurants in Cabo offer breathtaking views of the coastline or are nestled in picturesque locales that simply add to the overall dining experience.

Michelin Status – 2 Stars at an All-inclusive? Yes, it happens!

A recent blog post shared by the Los Cabos Tourism Board adds more context and depth to the fact that Los Cabos is most definitely a terrific culinary destination.

It may surprise some, but more often than you think, all-inclusive resorts feature excellent culinary experiences. One of the best All-Inclusive resorts in the destination, Grand Velas, actually boasts a chef with 2 Michelin Stars –  See the full post and other Michelin starred restaurants at this link

Additional Top Off-Resort Dining Spots to Explore

While staying at your chosen all-inclusive, make sure to add these fabulous dining spots to your itinerary:

  1. El Farallon: Located at the edge of a cliff, this seafood restaurant offers a unique dining experience with panoramic ocean views and fresh catches of the day.
  2. Nick-San: Delight your senses with delectable Japanese-Mexican fusion cuisine, known for its inventive sushi rolls and exquisite presentation.
  3. Edith’s Restaurant: Enjoy a romantic dinner under swaying palm trees, featuring flavorful Baja-style dishes and a warm, inviting ambiance.

Conclusion

Los Cabos is a culinary wonderland that beckons you to explore beyond the borders of your all-inclusive resort. By combining the comfort and convenience of an all-inclusive stay with the excitement and authenticity of local dining experiences, you can truly savor the diverse flavors this vibrant destination has to offer.

So, pack your bags, bring your appetite, and get ready to embark on a culinary adventure like no other in the heart of Los Cabos!

Thoughts on Ukraine

By | Adventure, Uncategorized | No Comments

This is a copy and paste from an email received from one of out travel partners, G Adventures

In case you are unfamiliar, G Adventures is one of the leading tour operators offering meaningful travel to destinations across the globe. They have a terrific reputation for delivering safe experiences and if you have an adventurous spirit you should consider the types of experiences that they offer, and we can help advise on.

That said, I received an email from them today on the tragic situation unfolding in Ukraine. Clearly there has been much thought and consideration involved in the following statement that I wanted to share –

A statement from the founder of G Adventures

High five!

 

There are none so blind
as those who do not see
 

I never thought I would use the word ‘war’ in my lifetime — especially war within Europe — as I would have hoped we had learned from our collective experience. The past two years we have been living through a global pandemic that has caused physical separation for millions around the world. For the first time in our lifetime, we faced a common enemy, which gave us the opportunity to bring humanity together in a shared mission to eradicate the virus. We should have emerged shoulder to shoulder, more unified, compassionate and empathetic than ever before. And yet, here we are, on the precipice of a more dangerous chapter of our civilized history, driven purely by the need to divide.

For our Ukrainian brothers and sisters, the nightmare is already very real. It is unthinkable that we are faced with a scenario where a sovereign European nation has been invaded, unprovoked and without justified cause. I stand with Ukraine. I stand for freedom and democracy. We are living in dangerous times, where people are divided and looking for division and this just shows us we still have a long way to go. We owe it to future generations to do whatever we can to bridge these divides.
As a company, G Adventures has cancelled all tours in Russia and travellers booked on forward departures will be refunded. We will no longer accept Russian nationals residing inside Russia on our trips, nor will we take bookings from Russian agencies. Unfortunately, these sanctions and forced global isolation will impact everyday people who may not agree with — and who may even be brave enough to protest — their country’s politics. However, these sanctions are essential in order to apply pressure on the entire country and to invoke change. There are many fine people in Russia who are now forced to become part of the solution. At this advanced stage where war has already commenced, there are only three options: deposed leadership, a complete regime change, or retreat from actions already taken. All of these come back to an internal solution created by global pressure and unfortunately good people become an important part of the story.
I have always said travel can be the fastest path to peace, so it breaks my heart that it has come to this. If you are reading this and have the privilege to do so, please continue to be the shining light and get back out there and travel. It’s only by connecting with other cultures that we can foster connection and understanding between different countries and communities. This cultural exchange is the backbone of what I built this company on 32 years ago and it must continue.
Our travellers and team members continue to show extraordinary resilience in our commitment to delivering these life-changing experiences, even when faced with the most challenging of situations. Thank you to everyone who has stood by us and who continues to be passionate about changing the world through travel.
Travel is the most powerful way we can open our hearts, minds, and eyes to the beauty of the world, especially in the darkest of times.
Let us continue to stand together, for peace.
G Adventures.

Founder, G Adventures

 

In an uncertain and complicated world, EZTravelPad is now, and will remain a resource for you future travel needs.

Cruising on Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady – a wonderfully different experience

By | Caribbean, Cruise | No Comments

Cruising on Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady is a cruise like no other

There are many aspects that set Virgin Voyages apart from the rest of the brands in the world of ocean going cruises. Most apparent is that the brand is exclusive to adults only. This alone sets Virgin apart from most other cruiselines, but there are many other things that are different cruising on Virgin.

Dining –

Like other cruise brands, there are a variety or dining options to choose from – more than you will be able to experience in a typical 5 night voyage (unless you are eating your way through the entire cruise) – and the food is very good!

Popular evening dining options include-

  • The Wake (Steakhouse)
  • Extra Virgin (Italian)
  • Gunbae (Korean BBQ)
  • Razzle Dazzle (Vegan forward with a naughy list that allows for adding protein)
  • Many other options (with a total of 20+ eateries) including….

My personal favorite was Pink Agave (Mexican)…excellent traditional Mexican cuisine. Check out the 1st course-

Also notable is that many cruise ships these days offer specialty dining options at a premium price (sometime $65 additional per person) but not on Virgin – it’s all included here! There are some occasional premium items on the menu for special celebrations, but you don’t miss much if you just stick to the menu.

Wellness –

It is apparent early on that a tremendous amount of space, time and equipment that has been dedicated to wellness. Several group classes (Yoga, Spin, Core & more) – all offered complimentary (as opposed to most cruises where group classes incur additional costs), or just do your own thing in terrific workout facilities with excellent equipment and facilities – even a boxing ring.

Relax –

You can relax in your own style – whether it’s taking some time to paint a mural

 

or relax at one of the 2 pools on board…

 

or doing some shopping at one of the unique shops on board….

 

It’s not uncommon to relax on a cruise… but it is uncommon to take a nap in a most comfortable hammock on your own private balcony…

Note – this hammock, along with every other hammock in the fleet, was designed specifically for the ship, and crafted by a group of artisans in a remote village in Northern Thailand…just one of the small things in a long list of commitments to sustainability that is the Virgin way.

Unique Destinations and Itineraries –

Virgin will soon have 3 ships cruising various itineraries in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Transatlantic on 4, 5, 7 and longer cruises.

Whether it’s in the Caribbean, or the Mediterranean, there are unique itineraries that feature destinations that you may not have previously experienced (like overnighting in Ibiza for example) or a crown jewel in the Caribbean – the Bimini Beach Club

Bimini Beach Club –

The private beach club on the Bahamian island of Bimini combines beauty, style, fun and luxe comfort. You can make the day what you want it to be – from full on pool party…

to enjoying excellent food & beverage offerings,  to chilling on a pristine beach and an incredible sunset…

 

Bar Tab –

Virgin’s Bar Tab is a good value for those wanting to add some premium coffees from the baristas or premium alcoholic beverages from the mixologists. Alcohol drinks price resonable to start with (they are not included in the cruise fare and beverage packages are not offered) but you can get a better value by pre-purchasing a Bar Tab for $300 and when you do you get an extra $50 for a total of $350 on-board spend (at the time of writing this post). My wife and I like to enjoy a nice glass of wine (or 2) with dinner, and a pre-dinner cocktail (or 3), and we had plenty of room on our bar tab…even enough to “Shake for Champagne” on the app (where you can literally shake your app to have a bottle of Moet & Chandon deliverd to your specific location on board)!

See much more in the video with some cruise highlights below…

Looking for a Couples’ Getaway? A Bachelor or Bachelorette vacation solution? Looking for a unique way to spend a Honeymoon or a welcoming solution for a vacation friendly to the LGBT community? This may be for you!

There are far too many things to say about the commitment to diversity, the uniqueness in entertainment, and the overall different vibe that is offered by Virgin Voyages, but for full details, best deal, and help all along the way, get with “Your friends….in the travel business” at EZTravelPad
