Hehehe! I’m really excited to post this chapter of ‘My Past Became Our Future’ :D

I know I’m only writing this for like a handful of people at this point, but I’m absolutely loving it all the same!! :D

Here’s part of the next chapter- I’ll link my Ao3 to let you read the rest.

Enjoy!

Taglist: @psychedelicships @jwillowwolf @lost-in-thought-20 @stardustlv

Read on Ao3!

The Hardest Choice To Make.

Warnings for swearing and some violent language/threats.

‘Too good to be true. What chance did you stand? Take flight, turn tail. Get out while you can.’

Virgil stared at the text notification as it lit up his phone. Why was Logan contacting him? His heart wouldn’t be able to take it if it was a goodbye or a text sent in anger. He hoped that Logan would see that he left to protect him.

That morning, he got the letter he was dreading. It had been five years since he had heard anything from the Family, they walked out with slightly wounded pride at the wedding and that was it. Logan got a call a few weeks after the wedding, he was notified that he had inherited his grandparent’s old house and he needed to accept the offer as soon as possible. He didn’t even need to ask Virgil, he accepted with no hesitation. This was their brand-new start, Virgil’s chance to get away from the Family once and for all. So, they went to the apartment immediately, packed up all of their belongings and put them into Logan’s car, they began the three-hour drive to their new home. They put their playlist on full blast and sang at the top of their lungs all the way to paradise. No one knew where they had gone, except for Thomas and Nico of course. They met up with the two of them every couple of months, and it was lovely to keep in touch. After everything they did to make their wedding a dream come true, it was the least they could do for them.

Virgil ignored the text for a little while longer, he wasn’t prepared for the heartbreak he was going to feel. So he went into his phone’s gallery to look at everything he had left behind.

He started looking from after the wedding. There were loads of photos of the two of them sprucing up the house, he laughed at the photo of Logan covered in plaster and their dodgy attempt at putting up wallpaper. There was a video they made of the two of them flinging paint at a wall, and inevitably at each other… before it ends with Logan pulling him in for a kiss. The before photos showed the place being baron, the carpets were moldy, and the stairs were dilapidated. The after photos were an incredible improvement, the purple and blue walls with white flakes created the galaxy effect which was the epitome of their relationship. He smiled at the fact that they managed to fix the whole house up by themselves. They really were the greatest team together.

He swiped further and saw the photos of them as they travelled around the world for six months. Logan arranged it for them when he realised that Virgil had never been out of the country. They called it a ‘honeymoon’ and both of their workplaces were more than happy to give them the time off. It was a time he could never forget. There were photos of them in France by the Effiel Tower when they finally found it. Virgil giggled when he remembered how long it took because they got stuck going around a roundabout for about twenty minutes. There were loads in Italy, the cutest one being the two of them by the Trevi Fountain. Then even more from Bali and Cambodia before they spent the rest of the time in Playa del Carmen. It was funny, Virgil never thought he’d see himself ever leaving home, but when the ties were cut, he felt like he could go anywhere. As long as Logan was by his side, he was happy. He kept going through the photos, there were so many restaurant visits. One to celebrate Logan getting a new job, another to celebrate Virgil getting a job, plenty where they have met up with Thomas and Nico, and one every year at the same restaurant for their wedding anniversary.

From the naïve eighteen-year-old that was told he’d never have a normal life, to scrolling through a lifetime of photos that showed an absolutely perfect life. He smiled at the memory of how happy he had been. He took a deep breath; it was now or never to see what Logan had said… He opened the text and his mouth fell open in shock.

‘Virgil. I know everything. I remember everything. Please, come home. I need you. I love you to the ends of the unknown universe and back.’

Regarding Indian destination weddings, there are tons of favored spots within and outside the country – a person just need to make your pick. Of past due, Mexico has become a very attractive option for Indian location weddings, and it’s not with out reason.

Read on to determine why Mexico is our hot favorite for Indian Destination Weddings:

1. Stunning Beachy Backdrop

Everyone desires their wedding locale to be extremely picturesque. After all, it’s the background of their wedding photos and all social-media nearly all. Here’s where Mexico will be gold - it provides some of the many gorgeous beachfronts and indoor venues that require minimum decoration befitting any shaadi function. Resorts in Quintana Roo (Cancun area), Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Cabo, and Puerto Vallarta are extremely beautiful and particularly suitable to host big fat Indian Weddings. If you are keen to tie the particular knot by the ocean, Mexico is the place to be!

2. Money Issues

International beach wedding locations could possibly get very pricey. Remarkably though, an Indian wedding in Mexico typically costs lesser than places within Miami, the Bahamas, Lemon County, or even many parts of Europe. This particular is because many accommodations in Mexico offer all-inclusive packages that include hotels and meals on the per-room rate for huge bookings. This can assist you save really the pretty penny when the food and beverage requirements are really large. If you’re enterprising and also ready to take some risks, you can bag good deals in the winter months; the elements may end up being dicey but you may plan contingency measures forward and make the whole affair a lot more economical.

Within these months, the elements is mild, ranging between 20-26 degree Celsius. October plus November are the wedding ceremony off-season months here although it is still possible to host a perform in this time. You simply need to are the cause of the particular likelihood of rain and avoid morning-time outdoor events since it can obtain pretty hot.

4. Wedding with Vacation Vibes

The beauty of getting wedded in Mexico is that it combines the satisfaction of tying the knots with the excitement of a vacation. In fact, many couples often stay back or travel to the near by (more lavish) holiday resort for their honeymoon right after their destination wedding within Mexico. Also, guests are at liberty to discover local attractions as properly, which makes the special event more memorable on their behalf as well.

5. Planning Stress? Low!

The most modest good thing about getting married within Mexico will be the ease of planning. It is well-connected by air, with plane tickets from major carriers around the world flying in/out regularly. Also, resorts in the more frequented areas are skilled in hosting large wedding ceremony. You won’t need in order to be worried about anything at all; the food, the venues, the service – this all works seamlessly given that they are experienced within hosting Indian weddings.

San Jose del Cabo

I’m not here to give a review on every resort we have visited in the past. We have traveled to Mexico seven times in ten years. There’s something for everyone in Mexico. All adult resorts, resorts that cater to the LGBT community and family friendly resorts where children can run freely while the parents relax. It’s been almost three years since our last visit and I promised my daughter I would take her on vacation one of these days. I laugh and tell her that she was with us in Mexico one year, she was just in my belly baking. We always went to an adult only resort but there a plenty of kid friendly resorts that are amazing. Which we will be planning very soon. Mexico is my favorite place to visit that has beautiful warm turquoise water, (the East Coast of Mexico) the amazing people we met and kept friendships with and the memories that will last us forever.

What I LOVE about Mexico, is the All-Inclusive resorts where you don’t have to worry about meals and unlimited drinks. Spa treatments, the romantic candle lit dinner on the beach and being able to relax and not have a care in the world. My one pet peeve is the resorts who harass you about Time Share. Yes, they will be waiting for you when you get off the plane and waiting at the resort. They can be convincing when they are offering you a free dinner, massage or something intriguing that will have you listen for a hour or more about why you should buy a time share. We now kindly say, “no thank you” and enjoy our stay. An All-Adult Inclusive resort can range in prices. We’ve stayed for 5-7 days and have spent $1800-$4000 with air fare included. There are many resorts to choose from for any budget. Be sure not to visit during Spring Break when all the college students are on vacation and check to see when their winter season start. This can put a damper on your trip due to rain. The seven times we visited it rained only one once, which we still enjoyed our day. We traveled in the months of April, May and June and had perfect weather.

My husband is a beach lover and I’m the female Indiana Jones. You can relax or you can go on many adventures from snorkeling, visiting the pyramids, booze cruises, and checking out great restaurants.

The Arch of Cabo San Lucas

Cabo San Lucas was our destination we set out to go. Cabo sits on the tip of the Baja California peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. We stayed in San Jose del Cabo. We read reviews of different resorts and I wanted to see real photos of visitors that stayed during their visit. I went to Trip Advisor where travelers share photos of there rooms, the resort and see what they had to say about their visit. We both agreed that we did not want a “family friendly” resort. We were on vacation and didn’t want to see any children while we were away relaxing.

When we booked our vacation during the big “Swine Flu” outbreak and officials made a warning for travelers going out of the country. We figured we could get sick from a person locally and headed on our way. We had a beautiful ocean view room with a jacuzzi that sat on the balcony. It was truly a romantic vacation. Due to the Swine Flu scare the hotel was 50% occupied. We had a great time. There were two pools, outside jacuzzi, three restaurants and the staff was amazing. They kept us entertained with daily activities and catered to all our needs.

Jacuzzi View Suite

Sea Lions relaxing

Adult Only Resort

Lovers Beach

Snake in bottle of Tequila

Suprise Whale Encounter

Cabo San Lucas

Cabo San Lucas, Sunset Cruise

We took a 30 minute cab ride from our resort to Cabo for our sunset cruise to see Lovers Arch. As we sailed across the Pacific sea we were greeted by of family whales. I never seen a whales so close before and was an amazing site to see. We watched the sun set and headed back to the resort and continued the rest of our vacation. At the end of our trip I was a newly engaged woman and no swine flu.

Now that we visited the West Coast part of Mexico it was time to get a taste of the East Coast. There was a difference of the coasts for me. The Pacific Sea was rough and we weren’t able to swim in the water and I notice the water was colder. The East Coast of Mexico is in the Caribbean Sea making the water warmer that is crystal clear turquoise with soft white sand. We have stayed in Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Rivera Maya, and always take a taxi ride to 5th Avenue Playa del Carmen. We been to Mexico so many times, that we decided to rent a car to get around next time we visit. This is how comfortable we feel traveling when we visit. Playa del Carmen offer a strip of shopping boutiques, restaurants, night clubs and beautiful beach. During our visits we saw a few beautiful beach weddings. Mexico is also a big destination wedding location. This is something we considered, but spent our honeymoon here instead.

During our stay at the resorts we visited there was always a great staff, fun daily activities, night club on premises so you can have a good time and head back to your room. The rooms we have booked always had a king size bed, jacuzzi and some with an ocean view suite. Morning sunrise with coffee was something I didn’t grow tired of. During our stay we always made time to visit their spas for massages and I always booked my favorite seaweed wrap. It felt great waking up and walking on the the beach, soaking up the sun and being served drinks like royalty. The resorts have excursions you can book that leave from the hotel each morning. Tip: we did found out instead of going on the long bus tours you can hire a private driver for the day. You won’t end up on a 12 hour tour ( something my husband remind me all the time) but will have a private time and will be the same cost if not cheaper going with a driver. Speak to the hotel to have this arranged.

Chichen Itza was a spectacular site that is a MUST SEE, the Mayan architecture was incredible. Chichen Itza means, “at the mouth of the well of Itza”. Every time the History channel play an episode I yell to the TV, “I been there!” I felt like, I stepped back into time of the Mayans the structures were standing there untouched as they did in the past. The Mayans were technically advance but were quite brutal in their sacrificial offerings. When we toured here it was hot and not much shade to hide from the sun. I recommend wearing comfortable shoes, sun block, wear a sun hat and bring water. Tip: Buy souvenirs while you are here, they are cheaper. During our tour we were taken to a Cenote a few miles from the ruins. Cenotes were Maya sacred places of life and death, as their source of water and as the gateway to the underworld.

I will continue adding more trips to Mexico in the years to come. There are many places I want to explore and want to take my children along for the adventure. Here is my BUCKET LIST of Things to see in Mexico: Tulum, Cozumel, Merida, Copper Canyon, Sumidero Canyon, Marieta Islands, Palenque, and the Gran Cenote. Book your next vacation you won’t forget.

Why I Can’t Get Enough of Mexico I'm not here to give a review on every resort we have visited in the past. We have traveled to Mexico seven times in ten years.

Two years ago I resolved that my lens would be my ticket to see the world. Last year I resolved to be a citizen of the world. I’m not content with simply visiting places and saying I’ve been there. Been to Madrid. On my way to NYC (podcasts and photo meetings happening there) in a couple weeks. Guadalajara’s on the list but Playa Del Carmen’s coming up in February and photographing a wedding is paying for all of it. I feel an absolute certainty I will end up in Düsseldorf in the coming year or two. Did Paris. Planes are glorified Uber rides. I love San Diego. Born and raised in & San Diego pride all day! But I’ll never forget something a friend said to me years and ago: the world is way too big a place to live in one tiny dot your entire life.

Day 3 & 4 of My Bachelorette to Mexico

We're back with the second part of my bachelorette party in Mexico! With this final post I feel like it's really over :( I still hope you enjoy the recap as much as I did!

Day 3:

If you missed day 1 & 2 from the trip, you can catch up by reading this post. We're now on to Saturday of the four-day trip and our last full day in Mexico. We had to wake up really early for our excursion. We met at the buffet around 7am and grabbed all the food we could before we left at 7:20. The original plan was to drive to Cancun, take a boat to Isla Mujeres to snorkel, spend the day at the beach, shop, swim and parasail back to the hotel. But when we woke up that morning it was pretty overcast and super windy.

As it turns out, once we arrived in the lobby they decided to cancel our tour. The water was way too choppy for us to go out and the ports in Cancun closed. I wasn't too disappointed because I'd rather they cancel it early than cancel it once we got to Cancun. So we went back to the buffet for a real sitdown breakfast. I was easily the most overdressed person there lol.

After breakfast, some girls went back to the room to sleep, and others to the pool (like me) to read and hangout. I took a nice little nap as captured by Morgan's photo below haha.

We spent most of the morning at the pool. A few girls went to explore downtown and have a bite to eat. The sun was peaking out here and there but nothing like the day before. Thankfully it was still warm, and the spot where we were in the pool was blocked from a lot of the wind!

Also, this was my favorite look from the trip! I felt so sassy and bridal. It was fun.

There was also a foam party at the pool. Of course I wanted to view it from afar, so we hung out in the pool but far away. It was still super windy so some of the foam bubbles were flying over to us. One of them smacked Caitlin right in the face and it was pretty funny.

Ultimately, we discovered another excursion very similar to the one we were originally going to join. Instead of a full-day it was a half-day and instead of Isla Mujeres, we would go to Cozumel. We decided to go for it. In hindsight, I probably wouldn't do it again but it sure is a fun story to tell! Because the docks were closed in Cancun, we left out of downtown Playa Del Carmen. It was about an hour long ferry ride straight across the ocean. It was still super windy so the dock area was a little crazy. I've never been sea sick like this before! Thankfully the further away from Playa Del Carmen and closer to Cozumel we got, the more the water calmed down.

The excursion was a catamaran tour. I've been on a lot of excursions in my life -- Andrew and I take one or two every trip we go on -- so I can say it wasn't the best, but it also wasn't miserable. If the weather was better and the music louder, it could have been more fun. The sun would pop out here and there and the water was calm enough, but the hosts were kind of "meh" about the whole thing.

What made it fun was having everyone in Lilly! I originally wasn't going to make it a thing, but after we had hopped in the pool in the morning, I thought a quick outfit change could be fun. Lilly Pulitzer was so kind to us for my bachelorette. They gifted all the girls a swimsuit and dress of their choice from their current collection. It was fun to see everyone in their swimsuits and have most of us matching!

One-piece on Jen, Allison and Ashby / Bandeau top on Kim, Morgan and Caitlin & bottom / My one-piece

The first stop was for snorkeling and only Ashby joined. I love to snorkel, but didn't feel like hopping in. Most of the other girls didn't either. I've been to some of the most amazing snorkel spots in the world and I didn't think I'd be missing much at this location.

This is where the trip kind of went dull. It was a very long and drawn out process of getting to the ferry, waiting to get on the boat, waiting to leave, waiting to get to the snorkel spot, waiting an hour at this spot, going all the way back to the other side of the island to swim ... everything was just long. And a lot of us were tired. The weather wasn't nice either.

BUT THEN it all turned around when we got to our next spot. They docked the boat and said this was a great place to swim. Me, my sister, Ashby, Caitlin and Morgan were going to jump in, but when we got there, no one really felt like it. We were sitting around and playing games (starving also btw lol) and then the sun popped out. And it stayed!

It was really nice and I really had to pee (haha), so I jumped in. We all banded together and said, "If you jump in, I'll jump in." So my sister, Caitlin and I decided to go for it. Morgan joined at the last minute and we all jumped off the front of the boat into the warm blue water!

This was the best part of the day! We had SO much fun in the water. We were laughing and flashing the girls on the boat and being so silly. We had a wonderful time. The sun stayed out, the food came and it was like a whole new burst of life. It was a lot of fun as we went back to the docks to catch the ferry back to the hotel.

The waters were fine and the sun was setting. And then we got closer to the Playa Del Carmen dock...

The next part of this story turns into a drama. The sun had completely set by the time we reached the dock. We all looked around the boat, and it was tipping from side to side. We were parallel with the waves as we waited for the other ferry to leave the dock. We were getting thrown around pretty good. Then we tried to dock.

These waves were NO JOKE and were hitting the boat hard. These poor guys out on the dock are trying to wrangle in the ferry as they're being hit by the waves and pulled by the ropes. It was crazy. The waves were so big they were reaching the second floor. One even came up to the third deck and drenched a bunch of people sitting behind us.

The mentality on the boat was pretty much, "Kids and elders get off first." The stairs to get off were packed with people so we decided to wait it out. As we're seeing the boat get thrown around by these waves and people flying around, it clicked: we need to get off this boat ASAP. Honestly, I was surprised they even docked. It was NOT safe, but there was no way I was staying on that ferry or going back to Cozumel. We needed to get home.

We made a bolt for it. Ashby and I got off first and it was a race to run off the boat. They had workers holding us back until it was safe, then they were yelling "big steps!" and "move fast!" as we ran off. It got pretty scary at the end of it all. When Ashby and I made it to land we hugged and jumped and were like, "Let's get the F out of here."

Everyone made it off safely in our group, although Allison gave us a scare. The bridge from the ferry to the dock swung her left and right before she jumped off. It was crazy and scary and funny. How did we let ourselves get in this situation?!

We were supposed to be back around 7pm, but didn't arrive until around 9pm. Thankfully everyone was a trooper and we decided to quickly get ready for dinner and put on our Lilly for our last night.

Dresses from Left to Right: Allison, Catherine, Ashby, Kim, Me, Caitlin, Morgan, Jen

I think I got ready in record time and we headed to the last restaurant we hadn't eaten at yet. I think it was an Italian/seafood place. We all got drunk quickly because we could feel ourselves still rocking from the ferry. It was a wonderful last dinner and we ended up closing the place down (and ordering about three meals each lol).

We wandered a bit after dinner looking for dessert, but 11pm on Saturday night was a dead time for the hotel. It was so weird! We went back to the room to play more games and have some fun girl time before leaving the next morning.

Day 4:

Sunday morning we all met for brunch at the buffet and yet again stuffed our faces lol. Morgan, Catherine and Jen had early flights, so soon after brunch they were off to the airport. Caitlin and I got ready in our room to take some blog photos. Ashby was at the pool and would help when we were ready to shoot. My sister and Allison went into town to do some shopping.

Sunday was another overcast, humid day, so I didn't mind leaving! After we were done shooting, we packed up our bags, hung by the pool a bit longer and then were off to the airport.

The rest of the day was spent traveling home and watching GOT! Nothing overly exciting. Just a no-fuss travel day. All in all it was an amazing bachelorette and I cannot thank my friends enough for such a wonderful weekend. I'm so sad that it's over. But I'm happy I can stop stressing over it! Honestly, I want to go back asap.

What does make me really excited when I think about it was how well everyone got along. Not that I was worried about that, but it's so wonderful having your friends come together like we did. It meant the world to me! It's great because we'll all be reunited again (except for Catherine, she's dead to me!!!) at the wedding.

Now I'm on to planning our couples shower which is happening in less than a month!!

-----

You guys also sent in some questions via Instagram stories that I wanted to help answer for you as well:

Peak and pit from the day?

Pit was the weather not being amazing 100% of the time. Peak was the girls!!

What would you do differently?

I keep going back and forth, but probably the excursion. Did you go into town? Did you feel safe? I never did, but a lot of the girls did and said it felt totally safe. What was your favorite part of the trip? Gingham night! It was really fun to see it come together like it did and it was just a very me way to celebrate. How did you decide on location? How did you decide where to go? You can find a detailed story about this in my Q&A bachelorette party post. Are you glad you opened it up to friends? Yes! Especially since I technically only have one bridesmaid. How did everyone get along? Everyone got along really well! I don't deal with dramatic people in my life, so I wasn't worried about this at all.

How did your makeup hold up? It was great! I'm doing a new routine that I LOVE and it worked like a dream.

Did you use a travel agent/were you able to get any deals through the blog or for being a larger group? No, we just booked directly through their website. My sister was able to get a discount because she was a Hilton rewards member, and we booked/paid right away with no option to cancel.

Average cost for the trip? I honestly don't remember what I paid. But outside the reservation and excursion (which was $100 pp) there were no other costs.

Pros and cons of the hotel? Pros -- all-inclusive, great staff and a fun time Cons -- drinks were weak

Who planned what for the trip? I like to think I was involved with pretty much all of the trip's planning. I gave input but the coordination of most everything else was my sister (MOH).

How did you coordinate outfits? Caitlin emailed everyone in advance saying that we were having a gingham night. Everyone was aware and had time to shop. Lilly let everyone pick out an outfit and swimsuit for the trip as well (that will be tomorrow's post). They knew we'd be wearing that for one night.

How did you convince friends to join due to timing and price? I didn't really need to convince them. I feel like since we're older and have money (vs. right out of college) it wasn't an issue. It just so happened we found a weekend that worked for everyone. The price, being that it was an all-inclusive was too good to pass up!

Most thoughtful thing the girls did for you? I really liked the marriage game and how they each had a little part of putting it together!

How detail oriented were you with scheduling the weekend? I was super chill about what we did and when we did it. No plans other than a gingham night, an excursion and a Lilly night. It was all up to us when we did what.

How was the beach? We actually didn't end up going. Well, I didn't! A few girls dipped their toes in the first day. Playa Del Carmen isn't really known for their beaches. I heard from hotel staff it was super rocky!

And if you missed it, here is a link to Day 1 & 2, here is more information on our trip and a large Q&A on it, here are all the links to my outfits and here is what I gave the girls on the trip.

Despite a boom in tourism and more gringos moving in all the time, it has been quite a while since a new large hotel has opened in San Miguel de Allende. Most of the additions have been small boutique hotels or B&Bs like Casa No Name and Casablanca 7.

That changed recently with the long-anticipated opening of Live Aqua Urban Resort, about a 15-minute stroll from the UNESCO World Heritage historic center of San Miguel. While the brand name may not be familiar to Americans and Canadians, the parent company---Grupo Posadas---is the largest hotelier in Mexico by far. It's best-known brand is Fiesta Americana business hotels (on par with Hilton and Hyatt) and it runs several others at different price points. There are Live Aqua resorts we have covered in Cancun and Playa del Carmen.

This being a new build without centuries-old buildings around, this 153-room property's architects and designers decided to nod to the past (there's a large courtyard and iron balcony railings above), but focus more on the modern side of Mexico. The country is a powerhouse in the art world and the property puts its national artists front and center. There are prominent sculptures from names like Javier Marin and Rodrigo Garagarza. The design aesthetic is more akin to what you find at long-established Hotel Matilda than the next-largest property in town, the Rosewood.

We're pleased to see a large hotel chain that's good at cranking out volume pay such close attention to creating something unique in this city of artisans. Walking around the property feels like being in a gallery, but one that's meant for daily vacation activities instead of furrowed brow concentration.

The owners didn't skimp on the restaurant set-up either, hiring celebrity chef Eduardo Palazuelos, creator of Mar del Zur in Monterrey and Zibu in Acapulco, to design the main restaurant's menu. There's little chance of being bored with the unique combinations fusing Mexican and Asian flavors. The Cigar Bar pictured at the top of this post was created in partnership with local premium tequila company Casa Dragones.

You can work out in a 24-hour fitness center or relax by the heated pool and take in a bit of nature with a view of trees and hills. There's also a full spa on site:

In its ten treatment rooms—four of them suitable for couples—guests can choose from a menu of specialty massages. The emphasis is on engaging all the senses, with aromatherapy, the sound of water, and soothing flavors. There is also an oxygen room and a full hydrotherapy circuit with a sauna, steam-room, Jacuzzi, and a Swiss shower.

Rooms are as luxurious as they are with any of the competing hotels in San Miguel de Allende, with Molton Brown toiletries, 400-thread-count sheets, coffee maker, minibar, robes, and plenty of outlets. In a nice retro nod though, there's a record player with vinyl albums to play. All is on display in the bathrooms though, separated from the bedroom by a wall of glass.

Staffers have a good command of English and there are English menus in the restaurant, though as with most Mexican hotels, don't expect many TV channels that aren't Spanish on the 65-inch TV in your room. If you stay here on a weekend, you can be almost sure that a Mexican wedding will be going on. This may be a favored destination for the reverse migration of Americans moving to Mexico, but for the tourists coming from the capital city, this is a place for big family celebrations.

In a city dominated by small hotels with limited facilities, big hotel lovers will be happy to see this new addition giving the Rosewood and Belmond Casa Sierra Nevada some competition among the best hotels in San Miguel.
