Mexico: Baja relaxation

“I recently visited the tiny artists’ and writers’ community of Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, Mexico. The village is very quaint, safe and, because it is fed by an underground water supply, surrounded by lush vegetation. I stayed at a guesthouse called the Casa Bentley. This beautiful 100-year-old home was built from stone and enhanced with semiprecious gemstones pressed into the concrete walls by the owner, Bob Bentley. This vacation was by far the most relaxing and reasonable of any I have ever taken with my children, and I have already made plans to return.” Double rooms from $140.
