Mexico: Royal treatment for Mom at Las Alamandas

What’s the price of paradise? Well, at the exclusive retreat of Las Alamandas, between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo in Mexico, it’s pretty hefty, with rooms and suites ranging from $488 on up to $2,070 per night.

But if you can swing it, a long weekend of luxury at a resort boasting five miles of secluded beaches is not a shabby way to treat Mom next month. Tempted? Las Alamandas is hoping to coax you in with some perks.

Deal: With the “Stimulus Package for Mothers,” book a stay of three nights that includes Mother’s Day weekend, May 8-10, and receive a fourth night free. In addition, your guest of honor (Mom) will receive a free massage and a mani-pedi, full breakfast every morning, one-hour gourmet cooking class and a gift bag with soaps and candles.

Mom and all of her guests will also receive a one-hour tour with a staff biologist to Pichichi Island. Haven’t seen this one on a map? It’s within the Las Alamandas estate, described by the resort as “a serene and secluded haven of unspoiled nature surrounded by a tranquil laguna,” where visitors can enjoy “spectacular trees, centuries-old cacti, and exotic birds that migrate to the area each day at sunset.”

To book, use promotion code “LAS2.”
