Sets the stage: “Because of the holiday season and it being winter and everything, I thought it would be fun to tell you guys about some of my favorite beach vacation destinations. A bit of a travel guide, if you will, what I love doing in these places.” (02:26)

1. Cabo San Lucas, Mexico (03:08–29:55)

Childhood Memories & Vibes:

Visited since age eight or nine—deep sea fishing, catching puffer fish, memories with family.
“You always know what you’re going to get in Cabo. You know you’re going to get incredible food...the best service...the drinks are always good. The weather, for the most part, is always good...” (05:45)

Where to Stay:

Las Ventanas — Kristin’s recent go-to, especially the beachfront suites—“the most incredible suites, some of the best suites I’ve ever stayed in…really private. Besides paparazzi.” (09:30)
- Splurge-y, ideal for honeymoons, family trips, or special occasions.
- Kid-friendly perks: lazy river, rolled ice cream bar, pizza making, movie nights on the beach.
Esperanza — Great for families, especially on the resident side; features like pirate ships and games for kids (13:16).
- "Esperanza has one of my favorite restaurants in the world, Cochina del Mar...on their cliff so you’re eating cliffside and the waves are crashing right up against you and it’s really romantic.” (14:45)
Other hotels: Cabo Azul (“That one is really nice. They have a Javier’s restaurant—such good Mexican food.”), Nobu (hotel is far out, better for sushi-dinner excursion), The Cape (good for pre-party drinks and a younger, livelier crowd).

Where to Eat:

Cochina del Mar (Esperanza) — “For girlfriends or couples trip or just you and your man or whoever, it's really special.” (15:30)
Las Ventanas Taco Bar — “The best tacos on the planet...it’s a vibe.” (18:50)
Arbol (Las Ventanas) — Poolside, flavorful menu.
Nixon (Downtown) — Sushi hotspot, easy walk to classic Cabo bars afterward.
Don’t miss longtime staples: Squid Row, Giggly Marlin, Nowhere Bar, The Office and Mango Deck (for breakfast, lunch, or day drinking).

What to Do/Vibe:

As an adult, she prefers relaxing, great dinners, early nights.
But also reminisces on partying downtown and recommends it for first-timers.
“That’s the beautiful thing about Cabo. It can be any kind of trip that you want it to be.” (28:50)

2. Tulum, Mexico (29:56–48:38)

General Feel:

“Tulum is sexy to me. It’s very sexy. So I think Tulum is the best in a relationship, but it's also very fun with girlfriends.” (31:53)

Where to Stay:

Azulik — Unique treehouse accommodations, “no electricity…lot of rules about no phones…It’s special.” (32:15)
