Hideaways Ambassador's Report: "Mission: Accomplished" at Coral Stone Club
By Hideaways Member "Brad" Bradham
As I sat out on our private veranda with my girlfriend, Jacque Jenkins, and our good friends, Dave and Pat Nicholson, I couldn't help but congratulate myself on choosing the perfect place to celebrate my 50th birthday. The views of Seven Mile Beach were amazing, the water was a sparkling turquoise blue, and our condo at Coral Stone Club was everything I had hoped it would be and more . . .

Special Report: Where To Travel When
Hideaways Staff
It's a great, big, wonderful world out there, and you want to see as much of it as you can in your lifetime. Better yet, you want to see all the right places at all the right times—you know, those precious weeks when the crowds haven't yet descended, the locals still have time to stop and chat, and your travel dollars stretch a little bit further.
Traveler's Journal: An Aging Mexican Beauty
By Hideaways Ambassador Diane Morgan
Now that I've been to Puerto Vallarta, I can easily imagine how Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton felt when they were swept up in the charm and romance of this once-sleepy fishing village.
