Travel is so much more than just a luxury villa or destination - it’s about the time we get to spend with the people we love most!!
Lucille first vacationed with us four years ago in Manzanillo, Mexico, and fell in love.
There are moments in life that become "core memories," and then there are the moments that fulfill a lifelong dream. Last November, when our precious guest Lucille was in the hospital, she had one simple wish: she wanted to feel the warmth of the sun in her favorite place - Manzanillo - and she dreamed of staying in "the big house." 💖
Her family made that dream come true! Lucille spent a magical week at Castillo Del Mar, watching whales play in the bay and celebrating her birthday with an extra special dinner, cake, and decorations. It was her very last birthday celebration.
Lucille passed away peacefully just five weeks after returning home. Her family shared with us that this trip was one of the highlights of her life. To Valentine, Ruben, Paul, and our entire team, who made her stay so special: thank you for treating our guests like family. And to Lucille’s family: thank you for choosing us to host such a sacred time in your lives. We will never forget her smile in the sun.
We are reminded today that every sunset shared with family is a gift. Sometimes, the greatest luxury we can provide isn't a view or a villa - it’s the setting for a final, beautiful goodbye. Rest in peace, sweetest Lucille. ❤️✨
