I recently took a trip to Mexico with a group of girlfriends. I have traveled to Mexico several times before, but have never quite experienced what I did in San Pancho. I stayed at La Gata Gorda, and from the moment we arrived, I knew we had made the right choice. The inn is situated on a secluded hill, overlooking the village of San Pancho. It is conveniently located just blocks from the main street, which leads to shops, restaurants and the beach.
This trip was wonderful right from the start, and we knew we were going to be very spoiled. Our Casita was absolutely gorgeous and no detail was overlooked. The large bed with its luxurious bedding, the beautiful décor, the fully equipped kitchen,the high ceilings with large fans and the amazing views from our veranda were just a few of the touches that gave us hints of great things to come. The grounds were just as beautiful, and were designed with the same thoughtful attention to detail: The property and gardens were carefully designed, very well maintained and blooming over with beautiful flowers and tropical plants. I would have to say my favorite part of the property, aside from the stunning views of the ocean, was the blue tiled, infinity pool. We had the choice to relax on floats and marvel at the serene views above us, or had the choice to grab a clean soft towel, and relax on lounge chairs.
Eileen Pierce, the owner of the inn, greeted us with the warmth of an old friend. She gave us advice about where to shop for groceries and which restaurants to eat at when we opted to eat out.. Eileen told us that the streets were safe, the people were helpful and friendly and that the sunsets on the beach were breathtaking. We loved walking on those cobblestone streets and thoroughly enjoyed each meal, and were amazed by the vibrant colored sunsets over the sparkling sea!
Our trip was the ideal getaway, and I will forever have the best memories. For our girls’ trip next year, we plan on coming back.
