Super Lujo in La Costa Esmeralda

We usually stay in budget accommodations here in Mexico, but we couldn't pass up staying at Azúcar on La Costa Esmeralda (the 19 km strip of the Gulf from Tecolutla in the north to Nautla in the South). Azúcar is one in a series of Design Hotels around the world and one of ten in Mexico, and it's also the most affordable. So when smart design meets affordability, I say, "Vamos!" It might slightly be the whole reason we went to Veracruz. ;)

This is a take-your-breath-away view
