Adventure Travel

Jim Brown asked:


If you are worried about there being any luxury hotels and resorts when you plan a Belize Adventure vacation, then if your plans include the amazing area of San Ignacio, please don’t worry, because the great pleasure of the Ka’ana Boutique Resort could well await you. If your Tour Operator doesn’t have this lovely boutique hotel and resort on your list then make sure you make them put it on!!

Ka’ana Boutique Resort can be described very well in one syllable and that has beautiful and immaculately kept grounds. It sits in a valley surrounded by the Mayo Mountains in the Cayo district which is the local name for San Ignacio. This is the boutique resort of choice for travellers and adventurers with taste and the money to go with it.

There are a lot of things to do, places to see, and adventures to have, based on the Ka’ana Boutique Resort. It sits virtually slap bang right in the middle of some of the best cultural, historical attractions Belize has to offer. You can choose from Mayan ruins, Caves to explore, jungle tours, zip lining, canoeing, being just some of the sights and activities you will take part in. It is important to go and talk to the tour guide at Ka’ana Boutique Resort, whose name is Wilbert. Just tell him what you want to see and do, and then he will plan your days for you. He is very knowledgeable and visiting places like the Xunantunich ruins, and the Jaguar Paw he will be a joy.

On the other hand if all you want to do is to lie around and relax, then Ka’ana Boutique Resort is very well designed for you to do just that. In fact each casita is very private for each guest who sits outside on the terrace

Just imagine what awaits you after a day out in the surrounding countryside. What you will find here is absolutely top class dining, a lovely swimming pool to relax beside and great spa services.

There are only fifteen rooms, but there are all luxuriously furnished, extremely comfortable, and have real state of the art accompaniments such as LCD Flat Screen TV’s, IPod docking stations, even coffee makers.

You’ll find huge bathrooms, huge beds, air conditioning, and ceiling fans often preferred to the refrigeration caused by air conditioning, although when it is hot and humid and you have been in the jungle all day it is just amazing to step into an air conditioned room.

To return to the dining, you will have your taste buds, and visual senses blown away by the amazing food, and great menus.

Overall the Ka’ana Boutique Resort will be everything you hoped it would be. If you are planning on back packing in Belize, then what you have in wait is some good old fashioned pampering in a resort where the personal touches are quite outstanding.

If you plans are somewhat more luxurious you will still feel you are being pampered and spoilt in what must be amongst the top couple of luxury hotels and resorts in up country Belize



Treasure Hunting

Stuart S. Travel asked:


Of course you can travel just about anywhere with your kids on a budget. Like any travel experience on a budget you need to research and plan well to make the most of your travel dollar. Many places, however, are family or kid friendly and will throw in added extras for the children. So whether you intend traveling at home or abroad, look for places that will cater to your family’s needs.

 

RV trips are a great way to travel on a budget. In fact, traveling with a car is almost essential for families. It is usually cheaper than buying rail passes or catching taxis everywhere. But more importantly, it gives you that ‘door to door’ freedom that is necessary when traveling with kids.

 

If you are traveling overseas, have you considered staying in a hostel with your family? This is a much cheaper option than staying in hotels and many hostels are family friendly and have no age limit (except in Bavaria where you can’t be older than twenty six). You can request a room with enough bunk beds to accommodate your family and you can cook your meals in the communal kitchen. Huge savings to be made!

 

In the USA there are many places to travel with your family on a budget. Consider these options:

1. Camping. The cheapest option around for any travel adventure. Many campsites have activities for kids and if you don’t like the idea of staying in a tent, many places have cabins to rent that are still cheaper than a hotel room. Camping gets you up close and personal with nature and gets the kids outside and running around.

2. What about spending some time at a Working Farm or Dude Ranch? Look around for reasonably priced holidays at these destinations and you will find plenty of activities and atmosphere for kids and adults alike.

3. Head to Disneyland in off peak season for big savings.

4. The same can be said for traveling to Hawaii. Check the packages available in low season and see how affordable it is.

5. You’ll also find some excellent deals in traveling to Mexico. Go for all-inclusive resorts, especially in the low season.

 

What about if you want to travel overseas? Where are some good places to take the kids on a budget?

* Although Australia is a long way away and can be a bit pricey to get there, it is a very child-friendly place with lots of cost saving adventures to be had for the kids. Australian off peak is different from North America so do some research. 

* Europe can be done on a budget with kids. Pick your destinations with the kids in mind. Get them involved in your itinerary. Stay in hostels and travel by car. You’ll be amazed at how much you save and how much you see.

* Some island resorts are very child friendly. In Fiji there are resorts where children under twelve stay and eat for free. Do your research!

* How about a family cruise? Cruises are great because they are all-inclusive, cater for families and you get to explore lots of places. There are some good family package deals to be found with most cruise companies.

 

So get planning and get packed. Plan your family vacation and check out the deals available. Going off peak is the best way to save money. If you are going to take the kids out of school buy them a journal so they can record their experiences. It’s amazing how much they’ll learn by traveling with their family.
