In San José del Cabo, Mexico, the newly renovated Tropicana Los Cabos debuts this August. The boutique hotel first opened in 1956 as the Tropicana Inn, and now, will offer travelers a dream Mexican getaway, with enhancements throughout. Not only that but since it’s only 20 minutes from the Los Cabos Airport, it’s as convenient as it is luxurious. Here’s what the updates include.

Tropicana Los Cabos: Immerse yourself in Cabo’s culture and cuisine

The refreshed Tropicana Los Cabos will bring regional farm-to-table cuisine, new wellness options, and 68 rooms and suites. As always, it’s in the middle of the city’s arts district, with galleries, beaches, restaurants, and biking routes a short walk away. Its Mexican hacienda-like appearance makes for a real south-of-the-border look.

Food-wise, the revamped hotel will offer a true taste of Mexico. At Tropicana, Cocina de las Californias, farm-to-table cuisine takes inspiration from regional recipes. El Patio will serve classic cuisines owing to the traditions of Cabo’s Hispanic history.  

For rest and relaxation, a wellness center will feature massage services, yoga classes, and Tibetan singing bowls. Additionally, there’s a game room with pool tables and board games for friendly competition between friends. Warm up in the hot tub or heated pool, or take a ride around town on complimentary bicycles. 

Tropicana Los Cabos is part of Hilton’s Tapestry Collection, a selection of independent hotels that highlight local culture. Because of that, you can also earn or redeem Hilton Honors points, and save money on your travels. If you want a real Mexican experience while living in luxury, Tropicana Los Cabos looks like a great pick.

The cruise industry has a lot of exciting announcements around the corner, but my favorite has to be the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection extending their voyages to Alaska. Currently, the brand is constructing the Luminara for the route, with inaugural sailings to Alaska scheduled for the summer of 2026 (and summer is a great time to visit Alaska). This 226-suite luxury yacht will run from May through September, and trips will range from seven to eleven nights.

Tina Edmundson, President of Luxury at Marriott International, commented on the excitement surrounding this project. “With the launch of our third superyacht, the Luminara, we’re thrilled to bring The Ritz-Carlton experience to the breathtaking landscapes of Alaska,” she said.

Aruba nightlife: The draw for the Dutch Caribbean island
Live it up after the sun goes down

Aruba is one of the most popular destinations for those looking for a beach getaway. When you need to escape the hustle and bustle of the day-to-day grind, disappearing to an island deep in the Caribbean, only a few miles north of South America, can change your entire outlook on your life. Ten minutes in the sun and five minutes by the ocean will start to make you think there is no reason you haven't packed up all of your things and moved to an island to slow down and write your memoirs. Of course, there are dozens of things to do throughout the day if you are not a beach bum.

You can start your day trying to get that beach body by jogging up the 900 steps leading to the top of Hooiberg (if that is your kind of thing, take a lot of water); you can explore the exploding street art scene with a mural tour of the "One Happy Island," or you can snorkel the clearest water you have ever seen. However, one of the number one things you should do when on the island is get away from the hotel and discover the energy of Aruba nightlife.
