Hilton Los Cabos, Mexico is FANTASTIC!

I just checked into the Hilton in Los Cobos, Mexico yesterday so I do not have any photos for you to see yet, but I wanted to tell you how WONDERFUL this resort is.  This resort is fantastic for families, groups, girls’ getaways, couples, and singles.  There are 2 adults pools both with swim-up pool bars, an absolutely fantastic beach (very large, soft sand, plenty of space), an outside Jacuzzi and watersports on the beach (including jet ski’s, kayaks, etc.).  For the children, they have a kid’s club with activities and games, a kid’s pool, and naturally those slushy drinks that every child loves!

This year, my dear friend, Jonathan, from Calabash Cove Resort will be competing for the first time. While I am not an expert, I believe he has a superb chance of winning! His new shaken drink recipe uses two local rums and other secret ingredients that gives this drink an absolutely refreshing yet unique taste. Jonathan’s drink is is called the “Longer Vacation” and perfect for representing St. Lucia is is nothing like I have ever had before.  Who doesn’t want a “Longer Vacation”?!

If you will be visiting St. Lucia on or around November 1st of this year please stop by Calabash Cove and try Jonathon’s winning drink. I promise you’ll be completely impressed and possibly one of the first to congratulate Jonathan on his big win!
