Elite Escapes Travel Notes

This trip was packed with unforgettable firsts—from parasailing high above the sea to watching folkloric dancers in vibrant traditional attire. Snorkeling was some of the best I’ve experienced, with colorful fish and coral just beneath the surface. The nightlife? Electric and full of rhythm. Food was reasonably priced, and I enjoyed tasting local favorites like tacos de pescado, sopa de lima, and fresh ceviche —a coastal favorite that perfectly complements the fresh, vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine. Mexico offered the perfect mix of thrill, culture, and tropical luxury.
