🧖‍♀️The perfect staycation in Houston I 🧖‍♀️The perfect staycation in Houston
I spent a night at @fshouston and I loved not having to leave my hotel for an amazing dinner or incredible drinks. Save this post for the next time you want to treat yourself!
WHERE TO EAT
🍖 @torotorohouston is now one of my favorite restaurants in town. I am still dreaming about the Peruvian ceviche, the smoked guacamole, the churrasco, and a must for dessert, La Bomba! And that pina mezcalita is now one of my favorite drinks in town.
🍽️I didn't get to try but I have heard great things about @bayouandbottle in the lobby of the hotel.
WHAT TO DO
🥃have an authentic speakeasy experience at @bandistahouston. One of the coolest drink experiences ever, just finding the bar is part of the fun. I am so picky with my drinks and every single drink I tried was GOOD!
WHERE TO STAY
🛌Stay in downtown Houston at the Four Seasons. It is probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on. Thanks for an amazing stay!

🍃You must add this cenote to your bucket list! 🍃You must add this cenote to your bucket list!
So I actually did this tour with my hotel & was absolutely surprised by this cenote! I love that it wasn’t as crowded and it’s very unique in that you have a platform in the middle and you can swim along the rounded walls. The water was a beautiful blue and you can see fish and apparently turtles as well! *Do note that you will have to rinse off before entering to protect the natural habitat.
You will also have the opportunity to meet the Mayans who live in the village, taste traditional food with handmade tortillas & then end it all with shopping and tequila shots, who caught that at the end? LOL

Palm Springs Retro Vibes in Texas

Palm Springs Retro Vibes in Texas

Blue skies retro resort palm spring vibes in Texas

You wouldn’t expect to find Palm Springs Retro Vibes in Texas, but head 15 minutes north of Fredericksburg and you will find Blue Skies Retro Resort. 

Blue Skies Retro Resort is located in Willow City in between the 290 wine trail and Enchanted Rock. 

Overall, I love finding the most unique places in Texas. This one is perfect for a getaway with some girlfriends, or your significant other. There are five Shasta trailers (all different colors) with private yards & parking, and a private bathroom assigned to each Shasta trailer.

Thank you for hosting me Blue Skies Retro Resort and as always all opinions are my own.

Inside the Shasta Trailer

I had a chance to stay in the yellow Shasta trailer, Miss Abby. For instance, Miss Abby had a bigger seating area as it converted into a twin sized bed. 

The Shasta fits a super comfortable Casper full sized bed. In addition, you will find all the essentials such as, AC/Heat, fridge, microwave, TV, Keurig coffee maker, sink, a record player, and most importantly a small bathroom inside the Shasta.

Outside the Shasta, you will find seating to enjoy the beautiful Texas Hill Country sunsets!

Amenities at Blue Skies Retro Resort

Moreover, there is contactless entry throughout the property such as at the gate, your Shasta and your bathroom.

For those cold nights there’s an outdoor wood burning fireplace, and for those hot summer days there’s a pool!

If you want to cook there is a shared propane grill with lounge seating to enjoy your lunch or dinner with some Texas Hill Country views.

Private Bathrooms

Each Shasta is assigned a private bathroom with keyless entry. The private bathroom has an amazing vanity, hotel amenities, a PINK toilet, AC/Heat, towels, hair dyer, an outdoor shower, and robes. 

Although, as previously mentioned your Shasta does have a bathroom inside the trailer, which is great if you are too lazy to walk super late at night.

In addition, here’s a tip, this is the perfect spot to store your luggage since this is where you will be getting ready anyway!

In Conclusion: Palm Springs Vibes in Texas

Overall, if you are looking for a fun, unique getaway with Palm Springs Vibes with your girlfriends, or significant other, this is the place! I can imagine hanging out by the pool on a hot summer day, and then having some wine enjoying the beautiful sunset outside your Shasta.

I was definitely skeptical about the bathroom but the pink toilet, and the outdoor shower were absolutely amazing! And spoiler alert, you can actually rent out the whole property! This would be super fun to do with a couple of friends, or other couples.

In conclusion, I absolutely loved the retro Palm Springs vibes and those Hill Country views you definitely can’t beat!
