Few activities elicit greater nostalgia and fond childhood memories than an ice cream in the summertime — something Mexico’s all-inclusive Velas Resorts is happy to provide, with a twist. Enjoy an adult take on a childhood favorite: boozy ice cream.
A new happy hour event takes over Velas Resort properties in Los Cabos, Riviera Maya and Vallarta-Nayarit, with a range of alcohol-infused ice cream scoops, floats and popsicles.
Head to Sky Bar at Grand Velas Los Cabos for happy hour, 6–7 p.m., for oceanfront views with a cool treat on a hot night. Try the red wine sorbet or sip on a cocktail of bourbon, sweet vermouth and a shot of espresso, poured over caramel-popcorn ice cream. For something with a kick, try the Ginger Reyes, made with a locally made spicy liqueur, Ancho Reyes, mixed with ginger ale and passion fruit sorbet.
Happy Hour by Velas Resorts
Over on the Caribbean coast, Grand Velas Riviera Maya boasts a similar vibe at the Zen pool, secluded behind tranquil foliage. This space offers more family- and wellness-focused treats (non-alcoholic) in flavors like guava, lemon, strawberry cream, mango, green tea and horchata. For something more mature, head over to the adults-only Grand Class infinity pool and enjoy unique popsicles daily, 1–2 p.m. Try the chocolate mezcal, Kahlua, margarita, coconut rum, and gin and tonic popsicles with an unobstructed view of the ocean.
Both Casa Velas in Puerto Vallarta and Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit are also hosting a seasonal happy hour, 5–7 p.m. Flavors include Mexican red wine, Piña Colada, Mojito and unique Negroni concoctions.

Apr 22, 2024Meet 5 Women Shaping the Brixen/South Tyrol Travel Experience
Although a destination’s terrain, cuisine and cultural attributes always draw travelers in, it is often the people they meet that make the trip an enduring memory rather than a box to be checked off. It’s a job responsibility that people working around the Plose and adjoining town of Brixen (in Italy’s Trentino-Alto Adige region) take seriously. This is even more true for five women dedicated to introducing visitors to new aspects of the time-honored ski, leisure and hiking mountain destination in the Dolomites.

Apr 17, 2024Mindfulness City in Kingdom of Bhutan Unveiled as Future Economic Hub
In front of an audience of 30,000 Kingdom of Bhutan residents and officials, His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck presented his vision for a new economic hub in Bhutan. Located between India to the south and China to the north, Bhutan is one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Bhutan came late to global tourism. It opened its borders to international visitors in 1974 and, while tourism definitely increased, residents are enduring “light” rush-hour traffic in Thimphu, its capital city, as the only Asian capital without traffic lights.

Apr 17, 2024Amansara Review
It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
