First of all, sorry for not posting anything last week. It was the Labor Day long weekend in the States, we're back on track with school schedules, and I’m still daydreaming about our summer vacation, whenever I'm alone! When I'm not daydreaming, I was actually busy processing the videos and pictures that we took during our summer vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Second of all, this is NOT a sponsored post! We paid for this entire trip out of our own pocket!
Now that the disclaimer is done, if you still haven’t check out my video above, be sure to watch it. In this video, I’ll give you a virtual tour of our 2 bedroom suite at the Garza Blanca, a beautiful resort where we stayed for 5 nights during our summer vacation. I also included some of our daily activities and food that we enjoyed. Although we did experienced some thunder storms (mostly at night), overall, we had fantastic and awesome experience for our stay.

Besides the beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean by the beach, the infinity pools at this resort are just as gorgeous. We signed up for the all-inclusive package and the non-motor sports activities at the hotel beach area are all included as well. For the majority of time, we stayed in our resort, hung out at the beach and pool side. My Kids declared that it was the most amazing vacation ever! Honestly, I guess it’ll be quite hard to beat this one though. No pressure on the person who will be researching and booking our next vacation destination though (a.k.a. my Husband)!

There are 3 major restaurants in this resort, unfortunately one of them (Italian theme) was under renovation during our stay. So we only dined in the remaining 2 of them, they are Blanca Blue (Mexican theme) and Bocados STK (modern steakhouse). The food and service in both restaurants were exceptional! Be sure to check out more food videos and pictures from my video tour above. The presentation of the dishes from Blanca Blue were fabulous!

The sister resort of Garza Blanca called Hotel Mousai is for adults only. They do have 2 other restaurants but we didn’t get to try them this time. However, I did get a chance to visit Spa Imagine, which is located in the Hotel Mousai, and enjoyed a relaxing massage as well as their Hydrotherapy services. That facility and services were just as wonderful as the rest of the resort. Everyone was very attentive and courteous. They would go above and beyond to make sure that you are happy and satisfy. I did had a relax afternoon at the spa and felt rejuvenated when I left! Thanks to my Honey for watching the Kids!

As I mentioned before, we opt for the all-inclusive package for our stay. Therefore, all of our food including room service and pool side snacks and bars were all included. But I have to say, the room service food was just so-so. On the other hand, the pool side snacks and drinks were surprisingly delicious! Overall, we had an awesome vacation and spent some quality time together as a family. We sure made some unforgettable memories and something to look forward to in the future. We sure hope to have a chance to be back some day…..but for now, I need to work hard for our next vacation!
