We just returned from three weeks of enjoying the fabulous Mexican Pacific Coast. First confession...we ate and drank too much, but it was impossible to resist. The variety of market fresh seafood and Mexican cuisine was a feast for all your senses. And you can pick your style - fine dining, casually elegant, a table on the beach or perched on a terrace above crashing waves. Family style streetside places like Mary's in Sayulita were also a highlight, along with homemade tamales and quesadillas for breakfast at the Conrad in Punta Mita, and tequila and mezcal tastings at a beachside bar. We should add that we ran into a lot of talented bartenders, who not only introduced us to some artesian tequilas, but were wizards at making delicious and potent craft cocktails.​

Our month-long trip in May was a blast. We loved fishing with all our friends on Andros. Great time! Then spending a week at the SLS Hotel in the Baha Mar resort was the perfect way finish -- to relax, log pool and beach time, eat at fine dining restaurants, and enjoy the nightlife.

The Baha Mar resort also includes the Grand Hyatt Hotel and the Rosewood Baha Mar. We loved the South Beach vibe of the SLS, which flows through the hotel, starting with the rocking lobby bar and hang space. Definitely go for a deluxe king room or one bedroom suite with ocean view. The pool scene is casual cool, good food and drink service. Or you can also go to the private pool club, Privee, if you want more of a party scene. Or enjoy the SLS beach club. Cleo, a superb Mediterranean restaurant is off the lobby, and Carna, a signature steakhouse is just outside the lobby on the way to the casino. Easy to walk through the entire resort complex from here, and its next door to the new Baha Mar Club that features a fabulous water park, and beachfront restaurant, bar, and infinity pools.

The Grand Hyatt anchors the center of the resort with two large towers. The casino is here, along with many restaurants, the Jazz Bar with live music, a Cuban-style cigar bar, and the James Bond nightclub. Six swimming pools, spa, and some of the casual restaurants that are fun for lunch and dinner are here - try the Swimming Pig or Pizza Lab.

The Rosewood is part of the resort, but it is a sophisticated world of its own, with its own lobby, living room/library and paneled oak bar. Two Rosewood only swimming pools, private access to Nexus club, and a private beach club. That said, Rosewood guests have the complete run of the resort, and can use any and all facilities at the Grand Hyatt and SLS. The guest rooms and suites include spacious elegant design and out of this world bathrooms and amenities. And for more privacy, the villas are exquisite.

Sound good? Get in touch with Stephen or Kim to learn more and to begin booking your ideal vacation. They have the inside scoop on everything Baha Mar and are excited to share it!

Always great fun fishing with our long-time friends Andy Smith and Charlie Neymour, but its also great to find a new spot with casually luxurious accommodations where we can fish with our friends from Mangrove Cay - Captain Marvin Miller, Captain Shine Greene, and team.

Caerula Mar Club is that special spot that was needed on South Andros and now we can all enjoy it. Kim and Stephen just stayed 5 fabulous nights at CMC in one of their oceanfront premium suites and they didn't want to leave....especially when you consider they were fishing every day with Marvin and Shine.

One thing was clear at CMC, its perfect for couples, and any non-angling spouses keeping their favorite angler company. Not only are the accommodations cushy (private villas are also available!) but the dining experience is 5 star thanks to Argentine chef Sebastian, and his team who provide the type of service you'd expect in a fine restaurant in Nassau or New York. And yes they have some nice Argentine wines too. For lunch, or apre-fishing, the pool bar serves everything from burgers to conch fritters along with cold Kaliks, mojitos and other craft cocktails

The beach is gorgeous, ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and sea kayaking. The Adventure Team, including a certified dive master will take you explore the reef, to visit blue holes or enjoy the bird life. 
And the boutique spa offers muscle-relaxing massages on request.
