    Since I’m Hungarian I was really interested what kind of meals you found tasty here. I’m glad you think our dishes are yummy, but I have to correct you: the picture you posted as ‘rétes’ is called bejgli, traditionally filled with walnut or poppy seed filling.
    The dough of the rétes usually stretched by hand to really thin and filled with lots of filling. It’s baked until the outside is crispy. Rétes mostly filled with sweet filling (sour cherries, poppy seed, apple, cottage cheese, plums, poppy seed&sour cherry) but my personal favorite is not sweet but filled with grated cabbage.
    Next time you have to try aranygaluska too, if you try desserts:)
    And the meggyleves that really hits the spot:)

    Hi! You have a wonderful collection of hungarian national food here. ?
    Just a small hint: the picture you used to represent ‘Rétes’ is actually another famous traditional hungarian dish, called ‘Bejgli’
    It’s made of a slightly more complicated dough then the strudel, rolled up with a poppy seed or walnut filling. ? We usually eat these around Christmas and Easter.
    Cheers,
    Olga from Budapest

Unforgettable memories from the ultimate girls’ weekend getaway—with 18 kids, sunshine, and pure luxury at @lascasitaspm 🌴✨

Las Casitas is managed by @vehm.mx, the premier property management company in Punta Mita. They oversee the most exclusive villas in the area, and every one of their properties is fully staffed and loaded with luxury amenities.

This gorgeous beachfront estate in the exclusive Kupuri community features three private casitas, 12 bedrooms, 13.5 bathrooms, a stunning infinity pool, hot tub, gym, and beach access. It’s designed for big groups, but feels intimate, relaxed, and totally elevated.

The real MVPs? The incredible full-time staff. We had a chef, sous chef, pastry chef, butler, concierge, and housekeeping—literally someone looking after our every need. Every meal was a gourmet experience, and every moment was effortless (which, with 18 kids, is saying a lot).

@vehm.mx helped us coordinate in-house massages for the mamas, and organized a piñata for the kids and a mariachi band to celebrate Oliver’s birthday THREE-esta!

Perfect for a 40th birthday, girlfriend getaway, or large family trip—we’re already planning our return. I can’t recommend it enough (or stop talking about it)!
