In San José del Cabo, Mexico, the newly renovated Tropicana Los Cabos debuts this August. The boutique hotel first opened in 1956 as the Tropicana Inn, and now, will offer travelers a dream Mexican getaway, with enhancements throughout. Not only that but since it’s only 20 minutes from the Los Cabos Airport, it’s as convenient as it is luxurious. Here’s what the updates include.

The refreshed Tropicana Los Cabos will bring regional farm-to-table cuisine, new wellness options, and 68 rooms and suites. As always, it’s in the middle of the city’s arts district, with galleries, beaches, restaurants, and biking routes a short walk away. Its Mexican hacienda-like appearance makes for a real south-of-the-border look.

Food-wise, the revamped hotel will offer a true taste of Mexico. At Tropicana, Cocina de las Californias, farm-to-table cuisine takes inspiration from regional recipes. El Patio will serve classic cuisines owing to the traditions of Cabo’s Hispanic history.  

For rest and relaxation, a wellness center will feature massage services, yoga classes, and Tibetan singing bowls. Additionally, there’s a game room with pool tables and board games for friendly competition between friends. Warm up in the hot tub or heated pool, or take a ride around town on complimentary bicycles. 

Tropicana Los Cabos is part of Hilton’s Tapestry Collection, a selection of independent hotels that highlight local culture. Because of that, you can also earn or redeem Hilton Honors points, and save money on your travels. If you want a real Mexican experience while living in luxury, Tropicana Los Cabos looks like a great pick.

These unexpected menu items at Komodo Las Vegas made my meal memorable
From appetizers to dessert, expect to be impressed
Komodo Las Vegas

The difference between a good meal and a memorable meal goes beyond just great food. You can find great food anywhere and especially when visiting Las Vegas. Yet, the most memorable meals of my life have more than just stellar food. Memorable meals have an element of surprise or experience to them. At Komodo Las Vegas, unexpected menu items turned the dining experience unforgettable.

The menu is full of choices that go beyond what you'd see at a typical Southeast Asian restaurant, transforming a meal into a complete dining experience. From the Matcha Martini to the Surf & Turf Maki Roll, these unexpected menu items at Komodo Las Vegas surprised me in the best way possible.

Flying with beer? Here’s how to pack alcohol in your luggage
Learn how to do this right with this packing guide
Packing a suitcase

If you're anything like me and can’t resist picking up a few bottles of that amazing local wine or craft beer while you’re traveling, you’ve probably faced that moment of panic when it’s time to pack. Maybe you went a little overboard at a vineyard in Napa or filled half your suitcase with IPAs from a cool little brewery you stumbled upon. No judgment -- been there, done that. Honestly, local beer and wine make some of the best souvenirs (and gifts, if you don’t end up keeping them for yourself). Here's the big question, though. Can you bring alcohol on a plane?

The short answer is yes. Like with anything else in life, there are rules, and it's important to know them before you head to the airport, including how much and what you can bring. If you're flying with beer or wine, it's also essential to know how to pack the alcohol for the flight. There’s nothing worse than a bottle of red wine breaking in your suitcase and staining everything, or a broken beer bottle making your luggage smell like yeast right before a long-haul flight. With a few smart packing decisions, your beer or wine will be safely waiting for you at the baggage carousel, wherever your final destination may be.

Once nearly impossible to visit, this country could soon welcome the world
Turkmenistan just got easier to visit
Turkmenistan

For most of the world, Turkmenistan remains a mystery. Landlocked in Central Asia, it’s the second largest country in the region, yet it’s one of the least-known nations globally. Part of the reason for its obscurity? Turkmenistan has long maintained some of the strictest visa policies in the world. Independent travelers could only access the country on a transit visa, typically valid for just 3 to 7 days, or by joining a guided tour that required pre-arranged, government-approved invitations.

But that may soon change. According to The Independent, Turkmenistan has passed a new law that simplifies the visa process. Under the new system, travelers will only need to fill out an online form, eliminating the need for a formal invitation. Although President Serdar Berdymukhamedov will have the final say on the specifics (including the types of electronic visas and their validity) the new process promises to make visiting Turkmenistan far easier for travelers.
