Mary Sue Gibson Morris, creator of Posada Del Angel, grew up in Amarillo, Texas. She is a graduate of SMU.  Mary Sue has lived in Dallas, Cincinnati, Paris and New York City.  In 1963, the consummate traveler, she made her first trip around the world in style.  In 1968 Mary Sue traveled the world a second time, hitchhiking.
In 1990 she sold her business in New York City and started traveling again.  A die-hard traveler, Mary Sue says, "I have tried to create the hotel I always dreamed of staying at: comfortable, beautiful, elegant, and above all: FUN!!!!."
I dreamed of a hotel where someone would give me good advice on what to do and what was going on in town.  A hotel where you are just as comfortable being single as being married, a hotel where you get to know other guests and the local residents or you can be left entirely alone."
Continuing, Mary Sue says, "Reflecting on it all, I realize now that during my travels I was looking for the perfect place to live.  Antigua immediately caught my imagination.  I knew that I would be very happy living here. Antigua is about as close to Nirvana as you get.".

When guests ask Mary Sue if there is anything to do in Antigua, she laughs and says, "If you are the type of person who likes to be busy every moment, you will quickly learn that, in Antigua, there are not enough moments in a day.  "If a quiet vacation is more your style, this is the perfect climate in which to relax, read a book, and simply do nothing at all.  "Even though we are in the tropics, Antigua is situated at an altitude of 5,000 feet.  We suggest that you bring a wrap or sweater for the evenings and comfortable flat shoes for the cobble stone streets.  Leave your fancy jewelry at home.  Antigua is a very informal place; a sports jacket for men will come in handy.  Grab your hiking boots, swimsuit, camera, binoculars, golf clubs, and tennis or squash racket, jump on a plane and come on down.  Plan to stay longer than you expected - almost everyone else does."

Mary Sue is also the creator/owner of Joyeria del Angel in Antigua and Viva Jewelry and Accessory Store in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  Both stores are extraordinary!
