Liquid Gold Indulgence in Puerto Vallarta
Karen T. Bartlett - News Max go to original
 Royal Xocolat, the “liquid gold” cacao-based drink served only to Huichol royals of ancient Mexico, has become the stuff of spa indulgence at the CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa.
 If you’re a princess to the core, you deserve the royal chocolate treatment in the decadent Ohtli Spa’s 280-square-foot Grand Luxury Suite, including Chocolate Indulgence, the Chocolate Soak, and two other Aztec-influenced signature spa treatments.
 Condé Nast Traveler calls CasaMagna, on a sandy beach between the Sierra Madre Mountains and Banderas Bay, one of the 100 top hotels in the world. The "Girlfriends Getaway" for two includes a three night, four-day stay in a deluxe ocean view room.
 Daily breakfasts, saunas, Swiss showers, and other resort facilities, and the romantic ambience of Old Puerto Vallarta are all included in the bargain price of $1,153.
 Prefer to skip the chocolate and go straight for the Tequila? Your new best friend at CasaMagna is the resident tequila sommelier, certified by Mexico’s Tequila Regulatory Council.
 The AAA 4-Diamond beachfront hotel in the heart of Jalisco grows agave azul on the property, and produces its own proprietary label of the liquid gold. And yes, while the girls are soaking in chocolate, the guys can be slathered head to toe in tequila at the sumptuous Ohtli Spa.
  The Tequila Reposado package involves a satisfying number of tastings and a bottle to take home. Presidential Suite: about $2,000 per night.
