This month’s opening of Ventus at Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort Cancún Riviera Maya means this stretch of Mexican shoreline is no longer the sole province of spring breakers. With 290 luxury suites, each with a private balcony, the new all-inclusive property is located on the coast between Cancún and Playa del Carmen. Fernando Berdegué Sacristán, vice president of construction and new product development, and award-winning designers and architects Ezequiel Farca and Cristina Grappin led the design team.
The sophisticated décor and more than a dozen dining venues are augmented by bespoke spa therapies (and a signature scent) at El Cocay Spa, and plenty of nearby outdoor adventure opportunities such as exploring underwater caves and cenotes or climbing among Mayan ruins. The resort also offers 120 slips at the full-service marina. Onsite, guests can enjoy an expansive fitness center, adults-only pool with two Jacuzzis, kayaking, paddle boarding, boogie boarding, beach volleyball, Hobie Cat rides and windsurfing.

May 31, 2023Homer and Janet by Homer Review
The Marais District, covering swaths of Paris’ 3rd and 4th arrondissments, has a distinctively gritty glamour that reveals it to be one of the city’s great incubators for new French food, fashion and lifestyle trends. It is here Moïse Sfez took on the challenge of creating street food establishments Homer in 2017 and Janet by Homer in 2022, doing it in such a way they both transcend the novelty of being regional American comfort food offered at stylized lunch counters matching up with New England lobster shacks and New York delis. Overwhelming local response and Sfez winning the 2018 Lobster Roll World’s Championship title in Portland, Maine, solidified him as a Paris restaurateur and one of France’s hottest culinary stars.

May 31, 2023Review: InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown
ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: Shortly after 1 p.m., our Uber driver delivered my husband and me to the drive-up entrance of the Wilshire Grand building, the tallest building on the West Coast and home to InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown. Attentive valets greeted us and directed us to the dedicated elevator, which whisked us up to the 70th-floor lobby. Though it was early afternoon, our room was ready, and the desk staff checked us in quickly and directed us to the elevator to our 53rd-floor room. We strolled past several comfortable seating areas and a large bar and lounge, tastefully adorned with understated holiday décor. All were wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, affording stunning views of the sun-splashed city and the ocean beyond.

May 31, 2023Review: Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza
ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: After an early-morning departure from the East Coast followed by several flight delays and a long Uber transfer from LAX, I was quite happy to finally arrive at the circular driveway of Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza. Entering the glass doors into the light-filled lobby, I was immediately greeted by a pleasant aroma in the air and no line at the check- in desk. Check-in was speedy, and individually packaged baked goods and water awaited arriving guests.
