Continuing with my family adventures in Guatemala we wanted to see what all the hype about hotel Casa Santo Domingo was. So one weekend we decided to stay in it. Yes I live really close to Hotel Santo Domingo but I wanted to have the whole experience.

I already knew what the place looked like and what the food was like because we had visited for mother’s day in case you are wondering: The restaurant is in the middle of the ruins if what used to be a church in Antigua’s Colonial days and the food is really good.

They have some different lodging options with interesting decoration but I was determined to stay in one of their suites because I had heard so much about them, again good and bad. I’m glad I did, the room was beautiful although I could listen to my neighbors sometimes.

I really didn’t know what to think about the location because normally travelers look for something close to the Central Park, even if everything in Antigua is 15 minutes on foot away from the park. It is half block from the super busy main entrance to this Colonial City and 10 minutes on foot away from the Central Park so it’s not centric. You be the judge!

All over the hotel you can find some weird and some beautiful art pieces but they also have a museum filled with stuff that was found when building this hotel (in colonial times it used to be a convent that got destroyed by earthquakes) which I think is very interesting. From time to time there are also some other art exhibitions. Recently they hosted a classic cars exhibition where they had over 200 of them. It was great!

I was there for a wedding once too that took place in the beautiful gardens of El Cerro (the top of a small mountain that surrounds Antigua). To get there takes some time because you have to leave Antigua and go up a small mountain butiIt has a great view of la Antigua that looks amazing at night. The decoration they had was beautiful. But if you are going there remember to bring something warm because even with their heaters on the place gets very cold.

My conclusion is that is a beautiful hotel where they do the best they can to make is a 5 star luxury hotel but they dont always accomplish that.

I love living in Antigua because in it you will find everything really close to you, restaurants, hotels, shops and bars. In this case my husband and I wanted to have a romantic day out, so first we went out for lunch at a really cute restaurant called Cafe Flor where they serve really good Thai food less that a block away from the central park. Then we went for a prvate salsa class which turned out to be an extra fun adventure.

And at the end of the day we visited a luxurious hotel of Antigua called Mezon Panza Verde for a romantic dinner I had been planning for a long time. When we were making the reservation they suggested a dinner up in the roof of the hotel where they have a Cupula. This sounded great to me because it was just what I wanted: A super private and romantic evening out with my husband.

When we got there and before they took us to our table we had to do some waiting in the lobby which was not what I wanted but it was ok because it wasn’t too long and it gave me some chance to take more pictures. Then a member of their staff took us to where our table was. To get there we had to walk across the terrace of the hotel, sadly it was a bit cloudy but we still could see the outskirts of the beautiful Agua Volcano and loved it.

When we got there I couldn’t believe how absolutely beautiful it was! La Cupula is this beautiful tiny room where they had a beautifully decorated table.

This ended up being a perfect day out and romantic dinner where my husband and I got the chance to relax and just be together after a long time of not having time for ourselves.

Bottom line is: Antigua isn’t just a beautiful city with lots of places to visit and photograph, it is also a great place for romantic getaways.

Do you suddenly find yourself thrust back into the dating or singles scene after years of monogamy? Or are you just someone who likes to shop around, but is tired of constant rejection and empty promises? A new seduction book by Taylor Timms called “Forever Laid Formula: Best Ways To Get Women to Sleep With You”, is an instruction manual for the seduction-challenged, and claims to hold the secrets to fine-tuning the techniques for making a successful one-night stand. This book show in detail how it can remake your sagging reputation as a pickup artist, and change your life.

Getting right back to the swinging singles scene after a long hiatus can truly be a challenge. Even going to essentially the most dedicated lover of girls, choosing the best ways to say, or the right ways to say them so that you can win a women’s attention and heart, might be frustrating. Most men in this particular situation choose the short, sweet, direct approach, the sort which could feel right after a couple of drinks at the bar. Unfortunately, a blunt tactic like this just turns a off women. It is usually crude, unsophisticated and boring.

Women don’t usually find the in-your-face approach very exciting. Don’t misunderstand. Many women are looking for the exact same thing the men want. A woman at a singles bar probably wants to meet an attractive man, and may wish to when you get home have sex with him if he meets her approval. The difference is, women go about making this connection in a completely different way than do men. Why is it that some guys with the money, clothes, cars and looks are chronic losers in the seduction game?

The one thing separating the winners from the losers will be the approach used. Utilizing the suggestions in this book can help you transform any man from a run-of-the-mill type who can’t get past “Hi, what’s your sign?”, in to a veritable pick-up master. These techniques don’t require lots of study. Author Timms spent a great deal of time and effort researching this work, and feedback from readers shows that these methods are truly effective.

His approach may help men tune in to a woman’s true feelings. Merely by saying and doing the correct things, a regular man can bypass the fruitless efforts of other men who might be better looking, richer or maybe smarter. A guy doesn’t have to waste his days at the gym to be remembered as a physical ideal, and that he don’t need to worry that his account isn’t full enough. Women will most likely reject an ideal pickup and opt for the guy that others may consider to be loser material, or perhaps a jerk.

This subject just isn’t new, and has been around so long as opposites attract. The formula explained in the “Forever Laid” book, however, goes a step further to indicate how men can use these methods, and eliminate a boring, obnoxious or tiresome image. He details how these factors work with all women. Timms tells you where the women are, and the way to start the conversation that may lead to something more.
