"Sure, any great Mexican resort has premium beach views—but can they all brag about their lush, vibrant gardens, too? Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay can. At this 20-acre beachfront resort between the Pacific and the Sierra Madre, the freestanding villas are scattered amid 150-year-old mangroves and landscaped grounds, while the rooms are cast in warm blues, yellows, greens, and whites and have private, fully furnished terraces. Check out La Cordeliere for international and French cuisine and, in particular, themed buffets and Sunday Champagne brunch."
