Let’s go, mexico
“A modern-day Eden,” is how James Lohan, publisher of the Mr & Mrs Smith hotel guide, describes Verana. We spent three nights at the magical Yelapa, Mexico beach resort and here’s what we loved:
The location – On the edge of the jungle overlooking the sea.
The rooms – Each one is unique and carefully thought out. Antique red ceiling fan in one, Mexican table football players on the wall of another.
The breakfast – Each morning a thermos of coffee and cakes are secretly delivered and left outside your door.
The spa – A massage to the sound of waves crashing against the rocks is pure heaven.
The cocktails – Sensationally lethal vodka, soda and fresh lime drinks before supper.
The turn down – Flowers and little cards cut out from Mexican lottery cards are left on your pillow.
