Find a Bit of Romance

Right around Valentine’s Day each year, we see a spike in bookings for all our destinations. It’s the perfect time to set aside some time for you to rekindle the romance with your sweetheart. But why wait until February? We’ve got some great ideas right here in the middle of summer that are guaranteed to delight the two of you.

How about a stormy getaway to the beach Puerto Nuevo? One of the most romantic memories from early in our marriage was during a stormy day. We grabbed some takeout from our local rib joint, and by the time we got home the sky just opened up. It was a deluge, but our little rented house had a covered patio out back. We settled in at the small table under the patio for our feast, and we enjoyed a great meal as the sky raged and flashed with a summer thunderstorm. That was many years ago, but it’s something we regularly remember. We were enjoying some great food, the delight of each other’s company, and a turbulent stormy sky. And this is something you may recreate right now on the beach at Villa la Estancia in Puerto Nuevo, Mexico.

The rains pick up this time of year at the beach in Puerto Nuevo, but it does nothing to detract from the beauty and luxury of this destination. Each of our luxury condos is just steps away from the beach. Summer storms are common, but each unit has a covered patio where you can relax and take in the beauty of the storm over the ocean. It can be a vacation more about the time you spend together at this amazingly romantic destination. There are two onsite restaurants, a huge spa, and no compelling reason to ever leave the property. Settle in, spend some time relaxing together, and wait for a great summer storm to roll in. Add a romantic meal on the patio, and we guarantee this will be a moment you’ll want to repeat over and over again.

Valentine’s Day is just a couple weeks away, and you’re in danger of missing a huge opportunity. Sure, candy and flowers are nice, but isn’t it time to really show him or her a better demonstration of your affection?

This restaurant boasts some of the best reviews of the entire region, and you’ll enjoy an amazing fare of Kobe beef, or fresh local seafood. February weather in Puerto Nuevo sees daily highs usually in the 80’s, so later you can take a slow walk on the beach. You’ll delight in the sound of the surf as the pressures from back home seem a million miles away.
