We stayed in Cabo for 4 nights and ate so much good food! My family has been vacationing to Cabo since I was in middle school, and we’ve explored many different restaurants. Eventually, we found the ones we LOVE, so we always try to make a point to eat at as many of them as possible!

Toro Latin Kitchen & Bar – On our first night in Cabo, we ate ate Toro. Toro has a ceviche bar and serves tons of fancy and authentic latin dishes. We love the food here, but the atmosphere is really the best part! It is a rustic indoor-outdoor restaurant with a garden area, and they even have live music playing on the weekends!

Edith’s – On night two, we headed into the downtown part of Cabo San Lucas to Edith’s restaurant. We’ve been going to Edith’s since before I can even remember, and if I could only pick one restaurant in Cabo to recommend, it would be this one! Edith’s is basically a blend of traditional Mexican food and an American steakhouse! They serve everything from fajitas to steak to seafood and more! And again, the atmosphere is absolutely amazing!! It is completely decorated with traditional Mexican decor – tons of bright colors and patterns, and they even give you hand woven blankets to keep warm in the indoor-outdoor setting. And if you stay for dessert, order the Banana Flambe! They make it at your table and set it on fire right in front of your eyes!

Las Estrellas – This was actually a new stop on our restaurant list because it opened fairly recently (not sure when but definitely in the last year!). They serve Italian food, and if you know my family, you know that we are bread and pasta LOVERS! I was super excited to try this place, and it definitely did not disappoint. It’s also an outdoor restaurant with super cute string lights and fire pits! For dessert we gathered around a fire pit and roasted s’mores which I thought was just the most unique idea ever!

Flora Farms – Every time we go to Cabo, we visit Flora Farms! It’s a crazy sight to see because it’s obviously a farm full of tons of fresh plants and crops, but it’s located in the middle of the desert. When we first started visiting Flora Farms it was a small little family owned farm in the middle of nowhere! Now, it has expanded to almost double in size and updated it’s entire look to be more elegant and upscale. My only complaint is that it not very close to downtown or where we stay (about a 40 minute ride). Other than that, the food is fantastic and the atmosphere is very relaxed and has that small-town feel.

Those are all the restaurants we got to visit on this trip to Cabo but The Office is another one of my favorites located right on the beach! Hope y’all enjoyed this little recap of my vacay and definitely let me know if you try any of these places out!

Today I thought I’d share all the pros and cons of each hotel I stayed at during my European Study Abroad. I recently posted my Europe Travel Vlog (so if you haven’t seen that go check out the post before this one!), but if you haven’t been following along so far, last month I traveled to 7 different European Cities on a study abroad trip! So yes, 7 different cities means 7 separate hotels! So, let’s get into it…

London, England – University of Richmond Atlantic House

Since I was studying abroad through the University of Richmond located in London, I actually stayed in the University of Richmond dorm called Atlantic House. And since I realized as I was typing this that this location is not open to the public, nor is it a hotel, let’s just skip on down to my second city…

Amsterdam, Netherlands – Park Hotel Amsterdam

The Park Hotel was one of the nicest hotels that I stayed at! The lobby had a very luxurious feel with dim lighting, comfy couches, pastry bar, and fireplace that gave an overall calm and soothing mood. It was easy to get work done in the lobby when I needed because it was usually quiet and not crowded. In addition, our actually room was fantastic as well. Although I do not know exactly which type of room we stayed in, I did note that the bathroom was gorgeous. From black tile to deluxe soaps, it was definitely an overall win! Aside from the amenities this hotel had to offer, it was also in a great location for traveling Amsterdam! It was only a short walk to many restaurants and bars, shopping areas, and tourist areas like the Rijksmuseum and Heineken Brewery.

Paris, France – Citadines Bastille Marais

The Citadines Bastille Marais had a bit of a small hotel lobby, but there was a 24/7 coffee bar for guests (which always comes in handy!!). The coffee bar was stocked with all the essentials – cream, sugar, brown sugar – and the coffee machine brewed lattes and cappuccinos as well! Furthermore, the rooms are apartment style which means you have a full kitchen area, small dining table, and desk included in your room. As part of our program, we also reserved the “Meeting Room” for our class sessions. It was a spacey room with about 45 chairs and a projector that acted as an excellent classroom for our purposes (would be a great area for business meetings too!). The only downside was that this hotel seemed to be a little ways from the museum attractions like the Louvre or Musee D’Orsay and the Eiffel Tower – however, I will say that Paris is a HUGE city, and being close to everything just isn’t realistic.
