<p><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Set along a stretch of pure white-sand beach in <strong>Cap Cana</strong>, an exclusive enclave of the <strong>DR</strong>´s most popular resort area <strong>Punta Cana</strong> - and just 15 minutes from the Punta Cana International Airport - five-star all-inclusive property <strong><a href="https://www.karismahotels.com/margaritaville-island-reserve-resorts/margaritaville-island-reserve-cap-cana" target="_blank">Margaritaville Island Reserve Cap Cana</a></strong><strong>.</strong>, which opened a little over three years ago is one of just eight Cap Cana resorts. On our visit, my husband and I found its </span><span style="font-size:10pt;">“no worries,” tropical vibe spoke to me the moment we pulled up to the hotel entrance adorned with a fun and whimsical giant flip flop. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;">Welcomed by several enthusiastic “Island Ambassadors” with an animated “FINS UP!” reception, our vacation had officially begun as we were offered margarita popsicles, the resort´s traditional welcome treat for guests.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">With 228 suites - including "swim-up" suites and 40 villas with private plunge pools / a wide range of food and beverage venues, a spectacular spa and more, this Margaritaville is a sun-seeker’s dream come true, offering a playful escape with a laid-back tropical vibe.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;"><a href="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Swim-Up-Honeymoon-Beach-Front-Suite.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Swim-Up-Honeymoon-Beach-Front-Suite.jpg?profile=RESIZE_930x" alt="Swim-Up-Honeymoon-Beach-Front-Suite.jpg?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a><span style="font-size:8pt;"><a href="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Swim-Up-Honeymoon-Beach-Front-Suite-300x169.jpg">luxebeatmag.com</a> </span><br /> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;"><br /> Opened in November 2021 in partnership with <a href="https://www.karismahotels.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Karisma Hotels & Resorts</strong></a>, Margaritaville’s signature easy-going vibe to relax and unwind in paradise is inspired by the lyrics and lifestyle of the late singer, songwriter and bestselling author <strong>Jimmy Buffett</strong>. Fans of the musician can keep their eyes out for song lyrics all over the place. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;"><a href="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Swim-Up-Honeymoon-Beach-Front-Suite2.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Swim-Up-Honeymoon-Beach-Front-Suite2.jpg?profile=RESIZE_930x" alt="Swim-Up-Honeymoon-Beach-Front-Suite2.jpg?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a></span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><a href="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Swim-Up-Honeymoon-Beach-Front-Suite2-300x199.jpg"><span style="font-size:8pt;">luxebeatmag.com</span></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;"><br /> As our butler<strong> Eramy</strong> led us through the property to our fabulous <a href="https://www.karismahotels.com/margaritaville-island-reserve-resorts/margaritaville-island-reserve-cap-cana/accomodations/swim-up-suites" target="_blank">swim-ip honeymoon beachfront suite</a>, I couldn’t help but notice the "good-vibes" energy emanating all around us - not to mention how gorgeous and well maintained the grounds are. And o</span><span style="font-size:10pt;">ur suite was the perfect blend of laid-back luxury - n</span><span style="font-size:10pt;">autical in design, with a spacious living area, spa-like bathroom features and a king-size bed back by a wall mural granting us a “license to chill.”. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><br /> <br /> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;"><a href="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Karisma-REsorts-pool.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Karisma-REsorts-pool.jpg?profile=RESIZE_930x" alt="Karisma-REsorts-pool.jpg?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a><span style="font-size:8pt;"><a href="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Karisma-REsorts-pool-300x243.jpg" target="_blank">LuxebeatMag.com</a> </span><br /> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;"><br /> Hands down my favorite aspect of our casual luxe digs was the direct, swim-up pool access with a private deck and breathtaking ocean views. I woke up every day enjoying my morning coffee while dipping my toes in the pool, reveling in a sense of elevated escapism. Another thoughtful resort touch comes by way of <strong>Joe Merchant’s Coffee & Provisions</strong>, where in addition to grabbing a freshly brewed cup of Dominican java guests can personalize their in-room minibar selections; each guestroom is allotted a certain number of “points” that can be used to stock up their room with soft drinks, flavored sparkling water, beers, wines, local chocolate bars, and delicacies.<br /> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;"><a href="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Karisma-Resorts2.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Karisma-Resorts2.jpg?profile=RESIZE_930x" alt="Karisma-Resorts2.jpg?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a><a href="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Karisma-Resorts2-300x230.jpg" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:8pt;">Luxebeatmag.com</span></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;"><br /> At the heart of the resort is the <a href="https://www.karismahotels.com/margaritaville-island-reserve-resorts/margaritaville-island-reserve-cap-cana/dining-drinks" target="_blank"><strong>Gourmet Village</strong></a>, which also serves as its entertainment hub, with nightly performances to compliment the vibrant seaside setting. Guests can dine at their pick of six restaurants, and each concept has a story inspired by Jimmy Buffett’s lyrics. The wide range of dining options includes an all-day buffet; <strong>Rum Runners</strong>, which offers delicious Caribbean cuisine; <strong>Mon So Wi</strong>, where the menu takes its cues from the Asian street food scenes; <strong>Frank & Lola’s Trattoria</strong>; the <strong>Landshark Brewery and Grill</strong> (which actually brews beer on property); and the <strong>JWB Steakhouse</strong>. All the restaurant menus, daily activities schedule, entertainment line-up and so much more is available on the resort app, which I downloaded immediately as my direct link to all the Margaritaville Island Reserve happenings.<br /> <br /> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:8pt;"><a href="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Karisma-Resorts-indoor-pool.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Karisma-Resorts-indoor-pool.jpg?profile=RESIZE_930x" alt="Karisma-Resorts-indoor-pool.jpg?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a><a href="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Karisma-Resorts-indoor-pool-300x248.jpg">Luxebeatmag.com</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;"><br /> Wellness-minded travelers will appreciate the resort’s<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.karismahotels.com/margaritaville-island-reserve-resorts/margaritaville-island-reserve-cap-cana/experiences/spa" target="_blank"><strong>St. Somewhere Spa</strong></a>, where healing and holistic treatments begin with a fabulous hydrotherapy circuit “guided water experience” designed to soothe, comfort, and ease away stress. I have experienced dozens of spas over the years, the St. Somewhere Spa makes my top three spa list - which says a lot! The service began as we were guided through a sauna, then eucalyptus steam room, a red-light therapy shower, followed by a series of incredible sensory pools, Jacuzzi’s and thermal loungers, before enjoying a deep tissue couples massage and finishing up with a pot of tea and a cozy blanket in the relaxation room. PURE HEAVEN….<br /> <br /> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;"><a href="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Karisma-Resorts-heart.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Karisma-Resorts-heart.jpg?profile=RESIZE_930x" alt="Karisma-Resorts-heart.jpg?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a><span style="font-size:8pt;"><a href="https://luxebeatmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Karisma-Resorts-heart-225x300.jpg">Luxebeatmag.com</a></span></span></p>
<p><br /> Finally, I loved the d<span style="font-size:10pt;">aily water aerobics classes at noon, as well as some epic afternoon pool parties.</span> But if <span style="font-size:10pt;">you were to ask me what my “most memorable” experience was at Margaritaville Island Reserve Cap Cana, it would have to be the last night of our vacation, where my husband and I experienced the ultimate date night—a romantic candlelit dinner for two on the beach. Part of the “specials” offered at the resort for an additional cost, it was an unforgettable evening and the perfect way to end our ultimate carefree island escape. ..<br /> </span></p>

<p>Because they provide an authentic Moroccan experience, <strong><a href="https://moroccoroamer.com/top-riads-in-fez/">best riads in Fez Morocco</a></strong> are fantastic. Traditional Moroccan riads are world-renowned for their ornate design and craftsmanship. The exquisite, hand-laid tile work commonly associated with Morocco is visible everywhere. Traditional designs of riads offer a lively yet peaceful ambience, perfect for unwinding. You won't find better service or cuisine than this at any hotel you've stayed at. A riad is where you have your favorite Moroccan dinner while there! Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Moroccan culture as locals show you around in their traditional riad style.</p>
<p><strong>They offer beautiful central courtyard with a high, open ceiling</strong></p>
<p>A central courtyard with an open ceiling is a vital feature of most riads. A modest riad may have one or two fountains. Plus, most of the larger riads offer swimming pools to their visitors. You may also count on the presence of verdant trees, plants, and flowers to adorn the area. The garden aims to achieve a haven of greenery in the middle of the city. Well, the riads are designed with this central region in mind because it is so beautiful. The windows and balconies face inwards instead of the outside world. Each room's window will face the courtyard rather than the street outside.</p>
<p>During the day, the entire house feels like a sunroom because of the abundance of natural light. Two distinct contexts have made use of this design. This spacious home with a central courtyard can be a welcome refuge from the heat in the sweltering Moroccan summers. This function ensures that riads remain pleasant throughout the summer, even during the warmest parts of the day.</p>
<p><strong>Accommodations: A limited selection of tastefully furnished suites</strong></p>
<p>Size is a defining characteristic of riads as opposed to hotels. With fewer rooms to decorate, each one can be given its distinct personality. Every detail of the room is meticulously designed. Instead of having a uniform design, each area will showcase its unique personality and characteristics. Your room's exquisite woodwork and artwork will astound you.</p>
<p><strong>It is centrally located within the Medina</strong></p>
<p>You will appreciate the uniqueness of this place once you come inside. You can find a riad in any of the old towns. These refuges are located on the outdoors, away from the din of everyday life. A riad is a little oasis in the middle of a bustling city. After venturing into the bustling streets, many travellers have found this tranquil contrast quite appealing.</p>
<p><strong>Drawbacks:</strong><strong> Riads demand a higher price</strong></p>
<p>Staying in a riad does have its drawbacks. Comparison to a hotel, the price for such exquisite service and furnishings will be much higher. Therefore, there may be better options than a riad if cost is your primary concern. You don't need anything fancy if you're only going to spend the day sightseeing or need somewhere to sleep before your flight. The location and signage of a riad make it more or less challenging to locate than a hotel.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion </strong></p>
<p>Despite the price difference compared to hotels, we have personally witnessed people thoroughly enjoying their time in riads. Most guests at a riad leave wishing to return for another unforgettable experience.

Ranging from around seven down to just one milimetre (a quarter to 1/32 of an inch) in size, <em>cimex lectualarius</em> lurk on mattresses and sheets and feed on your blood - usually at night while you sleep, and can cause reactions from patches of redness to good-size blisters, usually accompanied by itching and occasionally allergic symptoms. Bed bugs are tenacious - able to survive nearly a year without feeding - and getting rid of them is a bloody pain, with methods including superheating affected rooms; washing affected bedding and clothing in very hot water; and frequent and thorough vacuuming. Bed bugs have especially burrowed into the news headlines in recent days because of fears of a <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66995977" target="_blank">widespread outbreak of "punaises" in Paris</a>. But it´s not just the City of Blight - they´ve been on the rise across the world since the 1990s, boosted in part by the explosion in travel. So they´re a fact of travel life, but there are a few ways you can minimise their impacts: </p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">First of all, know your enemy: the photo at top is obviously vastly amplified, and these pinprick-size critters can be difficult to discern among other debris or mites you might find in the bedclothes. So have a look at the video below, and other online images </span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><br /> <br /> Check out online hotel reviews. </span>If they’ve had a bed bug infestation recently, it definitely will have been written about online. Just keep in mind that just because they had an infestation in the past doesn’t mean the hotel has one now.</p>
<p>When you pack your clothes, isolate them in plastic bags before putting them into the suitcase. That way, even if a bed bug does get into your luggage, your clothing will be protected.</p>
<p>When you get to the hotel, keep your luggage off the bed and put them in the bathroom or leave them by the door until you’ve <a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/hotels-inns/check-for-bed-bugs-hotel/" target="_blank">checked the room</a>. Look out for signs of bed bugs like small blood spots as well as brown coloured shed skin (more about that in the video below). And use a torch to look around the darker or hidden areas of the room. The places to look are around the nightstands, the edges of carpets, skirting boards, upholstered furniture, and around plug sockets.</p>
<p>Keep your clothing and luggage up off the floor and luggage racks even when you think a room is bed bug free. There could still be creepy crawlies lurking around.</p>
<p>On your return home, inspect your luggage, unpack in your garage, laundry room, or hallway, then wash your clothes immediately and vacuum the inside of your suitcases. This should stop any potential hitchhikers from spreading into your home.</p>
<p>Even so, keep an eye out for bed bugs in your home after your return from a trip. Sometimes it takes a while to notice an infestation because bed bugs are so great at hiding.<br /> <br /> Good luck - and again, don´t let the bed bugs bite!</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Walking along the <strong>Fort Myers Yacht Basin</strong> in the center of the city, you'd never know that several short months ago it was littered with boats and destruction, havoc wreaked by Hurricane Ian in late September 2022 - the worst storm to hit Florida since 1935 and the world's third costliest on record. The feeling of calm felt almost eerie as I remembered the horrific TV images of months past. Nonetheless, this Lee County city along with nearby Bonita Springs are beach towns, bastions of sun and surf for snowbirds and vacationers, yet beaches remain closed and without facilities – possibly true for the foreseeable future. So I found myself seeking other entertainment options – and I wasn’t disappointed. There are still nature parks, island cruises have just started up again, hiking, of course, canoeing, boat excursions, flea markets, historic sites but I’m going to focus on three unusual attractions that don’t usually fall on the must-see itinerary.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}11018745462,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}11018745462,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="11018745462?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a><span style="font-size:8pt;"><em> Shangri-La</em></span><em><span style="font-size:8pt;"> Springs Resort</span><br /> <br /> </em><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Shangri-La Springs Resort in Bonita Springs Very Much Lives Up to Its Name</strong></span><em><br /> <br /> <br /> </em><span style="font-size:10pt;">Shangri-La Springs, which usually conjures up a fantastical paradise, is actually where the springs that give the city of Bonita Springs its name were first discovered by the Calusa Indians - the first mineral springs spa in <strong>North America</strong>.- and this 102-year-old hotel with just eight rooms on 8½ acres oozes history and healing inside and out. Asian art proliferates throughout the property, inside and out. It’s a boutique hotel impersonating an art gallery. Even the lobby aquarium has tiny Asian sculptures. The fish, I assume, were local.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}11018745875,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}11018745875,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="11018745875?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a><em><span style="font-size:8pt;">Shangri-La Resort</span><br /> <br /> </em>At the <strong>Harvest and Wisdom Restaurant</strong> (above) I felt my mind expand even as I was being seated. Architecture, landscape, and gardens provide extensive farm-to-table offerings. With only regenerative farming practices used, the 100-percent organic, sustainable products preserve the natural state of the plants. This was now over my pay grade dealing with essential oils, natural yeasts, and beneficial bacteria, but I was pretty sure the vegetables I was eating were pretty fresh.<em><br /> </em></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:8pt;"><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}11018751662,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}11018751662,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="11018751662?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a><em>The Shangri-La springs were originally discovered by the Calusa Indians and gave the city of Bonita its name Photo courtesy of Shangri-La Resort</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;"><br /> The springs themselves (above) resemble a small river floating under extensive tree canopies (of course, the large fountain in the center wasn't there when they were discovered). The grounds bring to mind a mini-botanical garden (not the only Bonita Springs hideaway to do so but more on that later), proffering a quiet, restful ambiance accentuated by streams, fountains and sculptures. And then there’s the spa, which reflects internally the graceful, serene exterior.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}11018751852,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}11018751852,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="11018751852?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a><span style="font-size:8pt;"><em>Victor Block</em></span></p>
<p><br /> So from the sublime to the ridiculous – and I say that in the most loving of ways…. As a longtime travel writer, there are a few things I find anathema due to <em>de rigueur</em> repetitive visits. I tend to avoid tours of forts, butterfly gardens, and shell factories. But the <strong><a href="https://www.shellfactory.com/" target="_blank">Shell Factory and Nature Park</a></strong> in Fort. Myers beckoned despite my internal protestations. And what an adventure it turned out to be!</p>
<p>Apparently they left off amusement park in the site’s name, because these are the activities I first noticed: a carousel, mini-golf, zipline, climbing wall, gem mining, paddle and bumper boats, arcade games, a performance arts center, and a pair of restaurants. And oh yes, there is also a huge shop that sells shell necklaces. Well, okay – perhaps a tad more than that. How about the "world’s largest shell factory. " including the USA's largest gift shop?</p>
<p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}11018752465,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}11018752465,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="11018752465?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a><span style="font-size:8pt;"><em>Victor Block<br /> </em></span></p>
<p><br /> This is a place so big it warrants its own zip code and - no surprise - it has their own post office. In addition, there’s a fudge factory (above), a Christmas store, ice cream bar, t-shirts galore, more greeting cards than in a Hallmark warehouse (maybe several warehouses…) and miles and miles of quirky items you never knew you wanted until you tripped over them. <br /> </p>
<p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}11018752487,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}11018752487,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="11018752487?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a><span style="font-size:8pt;"><em>Victor Block</em></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><br /> They have everything and all of it in abundance, attested to by a self-aware sign that states: “If you can’t find something in this store, they just don’t make it!” And that includes the kitsch-en sink…..</p>
<p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}11018752893,RESIZE_584x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}11018752893,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="11018752893?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a><span style="font-size:8pt;"><em>Wonder Gardens</em></span></p>
<p><br /> And did I mention the nature park? The <strong><a href="https://wondergardens.org/" target="_blank">Wonder Gardens</a></strong> in Bonita Springs are home to some 450 animals ranging from the expected alligators, tortoises and peacocks to the lesser expected (lemurs, camels, and various reptiles) to virtually unknown (tayras, caracels and a huge Eurasian eagle-owl). There's also a petting zoo with goats, alpacas, and an ox, as well as a "dinosaur park" giving visitors a chance to walk through our prehistoric past (these of course were the only animals who weren't real). Although I suspect the animals are well-taken care of, some of the habitats felt a little cramped and I wasn’t sorry to leave.</p>
<p><em><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}11018752699,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}11018752699,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="11018752699?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a></em><span style="font-size:8pt;"><em>Wonder Gardens</em></span></p>
<p><br /> Scarlett, Calypso, Rudy, and Murphy act as a very colorful and loud welcoming committee. Compared to the Shell Factory, these parrots are in luxury outdoor accommodations. Visiting the various rescued animals over three very airy and well-signed acres – alligators to tortoises, flamingos to lorikeets, over bridges and walkways, alongside streams and splashing waterfalls, amid an avalanche of tropical plants – the feeling is one of expansiveness and immersion in nature, with an appreciation of what a wonderful home these animals have. I suspect many of then think they are still in the wild.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}11018753678,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}11018753678,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="11018753678?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a><span style="font-size:8pt;"><em>Victor Block</em></span></p>
<p> <br /> Whether an exotic plant, animal or waterfall, there’s something to gawk at around every turn. My personal favorite? A giant orange and black iguana straddling a tree. Squawks, shrieks, yelps and tweets (no, not THAT kind) reinforce the jungle atmosphere. Even the few cages on the property are expansive enough to resemble the same jungle impression prevalent outside of them.<br /> <br /> So apparently I have to rethink my aversion to "shell factories." But the Everglades Wonder Garden in Bonita Springs -- a sort of hidden gem -- left all thoughts of its nature park behind – it was a place I didn’t want to leave. If you’re old enough to remember the “roadside attraction” concept – this one dates back to 1936 – it usually conjures up an image of very unhappy animals in a very unsavory environment. Though a step back in time to a mainstay of Florida tourism, this roadside attraction evokes a totally different mind-set. It is the “later” I alluded to earlier, though more of a semi-tropical rainforest than botanical garden.</p>
<p>Even as I re-read this, I realize how much of Lee County involves a natural habitat of sorts. So yes, Bonita Springs and Ft. Myers may be all about beaches, but they are also, thankfully, all about nature. Besides, who had time to sunbathe?<br /> <br /> For more on Lee County, click <a href="https://www.visitfortmyers.com/lee-vcb" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

<p> </p></div>Virginia’s Primland Resort: Where the Out of the Ordinary Happens Every Dayhttps://tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/virginia-blue-ridge-mountains-primland-resort2022-11-27T18:20:00.000Z2022-11-27T18:20:00.000ZFyllis Hockmanhttps://tripatini.com/members/FyllisHockman<div><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009516280,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009516280,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9009516280?profile=original" width="750" /></a></p>
<p> <br /> “You want me to go where?” I shouted in my mind as I barreled down a harrowingly steep embankment leading into a wall of mud -- and gravel-encased woods. I was driving – or more accurately surviving – an ATV excursion at the <strong><a href="https://aubergeresorts.com/primland/" target="_blank">Primland Resort</a></strong> in Virginia's <strong>Blue Ridge Mountains</strong>. near the North Carolina border and an hour and a half south of the city of <strong>Roanoke</strong>.</p>
<p>On the hourlong ride, when I was willing to unclutch the steering wheel long enough to wave at an occasional wild turkey, pheasant, or deer (I was disappointed we didn’t see any of the black bears who sometimes show up on the tour) or look out over the magnificent countryside, I was reminded once again to take it easy on the turns. Though not for the faint of heart or heavy of foot as we bounced over rocks, dipped into ruts, careened around hairpin turns and stormed through muddy ravines, the adrenaline surge was thrilling. I had to keep reminding myself to relax my body, none of whose internal organs were where they started out before the ride. Okay, so yes, a tad nerve-wracking – but oh so much fun!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009516695,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009516695,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9009516695?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a></p>
<p> <br /> Even once I was in a real car on a real road, the driving still felt treacherous. Windy, hilly, curvy roads surveying mammoth, stunning overlooks cover the spread of nearly 19 square miles (Primland is just shy of the size of <strong>Bermuda</strong>) – and the shuttle drivers carry Dramamine with them to assuage those prone to motion sickness - not your usual hotel amenity. And a lot of driving is involved. Once you arrive at Primland, you haven’t actually arrived. It’s six miles from the north gate to the lodge; another seven to the south gate. Shuttles to the different activities felt like activities in themselves.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009517268,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009517268,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9009517268?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a></p>
<p> <br /> So it was not surprising to be happily on our own two feet again when hiking with naturalist Tim, who enhanced our walk over varied terrain with knowledgeable explanations of flora and fauna and an even more interesting worldview.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009517053,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009517053,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9009517053?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a></p>
<p> <br /> And then it was time for archery, of course. And air rifle shooting. And tomahawk throwing. Doesn’t every hotel have that? Channeling my inner Native American, I raised my bow and arrow and shot at the target, choosing to spare the ersatz bear, wolf and wild turkey statuettes who all seemed like less appealing options. Turns out I was a natural, hitting the target every time. Not so much with the air rifle. Seems I’d make a much better Indian than cowboy! Although admittedly, my tomahawk throwing was a little rusty. To assuage my diminishing self-esteem, I reverted back to my trusty bow and arrow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009517291,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009517291,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9009517291?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a></p>
<p> <br /> And the list of things we didn’t do is longer than those we did. Fly fishing, clay shooting, disc golf, horseback riding, hunting, watersports, outdoor fitness track, and oh yes, of course golf and tennis. But still, I felt I had definitely earned my "signature massage" at the spa, continuing the Native American experience which is more than just a theme, it’s a philosophy. Artifacts from the local Saura tribe abound and are considered sacred. In the signature massage, tribal elements of fire, water, air and earth are incorporated through hot stones, oils, scents and touch. And afterwards, you come full circle by sipping tea from the Native American Tea Company.</p>
<p>Prior to the massage, I was taken to a “relaxation space,” past hallways all decked out in shades of turquoise and brown – the color representing a “drop of heaven” and the stones, anti-aging. I was already well-relaxed before I even got to the "relaxation room," where a wide span of windows looking out over the countryside, reinforced the sense of ennui. At this point, I didn’t even need the massage.</p>
<p>But that was before I met my spirit animal. Heather, my masseuse, led me into the massage room where, of course, there were animal feathers to clear the energetic pathways around me. I was told to ask myself a question I was seeking an answer to and to pick a card that spoke to me from the eight laying face down in front of me. Cynic that I am, I had no question and heard no card. The one I picked was the rabbit which apparently represented an internalized fear I needed to let go of. I didn’t relate at all – I didn’t like being a rabbit -- but somehow felt the need to apologize that my rejection was nothing personal. I asked about the other cards – eagle, deer, wolf, skunk, turkey, squirrel, raccoon, each representing some personal exploration. Skunk? Turkey? Squirrel? The rabbit was beginning not to look so bad. We both thoroughly enjoyed our massage.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009517664,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009517664,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9009517664?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a></p>
<p> <br /> That night we went to the observatory for some star-gazing, of course. Foggy as it had been driving in, the sky overhead was crystal-clear, with a very sophisticated telescope projecting the stars onto a video in front of us. The full moon provided even more clarity. All of Primland emphasizes a return to nature and you can’t get much closer than this. We were surrounded by stars, planets, constellations, galaxies – including the Orion Nebula, a star-forming nebula approximately 1,300 light years from Earth, the Pleiades Open Star Cluster (also known as the “Seven Sisters”) and the show-stopping Andromeda galaxy (the closest and largest galaxy to the Milky Way, roughly 2.5 million light years away). We saw over 1,000 stars on the screen, including the mere 150 that the naked eye can see. So much that was impossible to fathom – in 4-6 billion years, the Milky Way may collide with Andromeda. Not to worry.</p>
<p>To mention once again that this is not your usual hotel amenity seems ridiculously redundant. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:8pt;"><em><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}10872884461,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}10872884461,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="10872884461?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a><a href="https://aubergeresorts.com/primland/galleries/resort/" target="_blank">Primland Resort</a></em></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The Primland Resort includes rooms and suites, cottages, "mountain homes," and "designer treehouses," along with a fine-dining restaurant, pub, an 18-hole golf course, fitness center, indoor pool and hot tub.

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">A republic of five volcanic islands 1,134 kilometers (705 miles) out in the <strong>Indian Ocean</strong> east of <strong>Madagascar</strong>, and with a population of 1.3 million, <strong><a href="https://www.tripatini.com/group/mauritius" target="_blank">Mauritius</a></strong> is one of the most gorgeous places you can visit, and known especially for its ethnic as well as ecological diversity. Here's a quick rundown of its islands and what each has to offer:<br /> <br /> </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;"><strong><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009536893,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009536893,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9009536893?profile=original" width="750" /></a></strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong>Mauritius Island</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight:400;"><br /> This country's main and most populous island (top and above), home to its capital <strong>Port Louis</strong> (pop. 147,000) and international airport, is the perfect colourful destination for the one who want to enjoy diving and snorkeling on the world's third largest coral reef; swimming and surfing its turquoise waters; sunbathing on its 160km (90 mi.) of beaches; and capturing its spectacular landscapes in photography. <a href="https://inncarsholiday.com/uk/en/car-rental/mauritius" target="_blank">Rent a car on Mauritius island</a></span> <span style="font-weight:400;">- just 65km (40 mi.) long and 45km (30 mi.) wide - to discover the many enticing sights and adventurous experiences it has to offer, especially the forested, mountainous interior with its rustic, quaint villages. The coastline, meanwhile, is home to more than two dozen luxury resorts as well as a variety of smaller hotels and guest houses. <br /> </span></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight:400;">And one especially noteworthy corner of this island is <strong>Le Morne Brabant</strong> (above), a peninsula at its extreme southwestern tip with a cave-riddled 556-meter (1,824-foot) summit which spans 12 hectares (30 acres) and has 3.5km (two mi.) of hiking trails as well as its own microclimate - a great place to get an eye-popping view of the offshore "underwater waterfall," an optical illusion created by silt falling between two coral reefs. It's no wonder it was declare a UNESCO World Heritage Site (awarded not only due to its natural attributes but also its historic/cultural importance as a 19th century refuge for escaped slaves).<br /> </span></strong></p>

There are many areas that are well known in Bangalore, but only a handful of them offer a complete staying package and experience. While some zones are closer to the nightlife, others have deeper access to shopping trips and cafes.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Start by the aim of the trip</strong></span></p><p><span>You should always start from here. Are you visiting to stay in the <a href="https://www.thelalit.com/the-lalit-bangalore/" target="_blank">luxury hotels in Bangalore</a>, like The LaLiT Ashok Bangalore, or are you planning on a road-trip stop-by? That’s the first question you should ask yourself in this situation.</span></p><p><span>The outer-parts like Whitefield and Varthur offer you peace and quiet, while the inner zones like Indira Nagar and Koramangala connect you to the city’s heart and soul.</span></p><p><span>Depending on the aim of the trip, you can start planning areas, zones and centres where you want to visit. You can also take a vote with your co-travellers and loved ones, as to what kind of trip they’re looking for. A spiritual trip will differ significantly from a nightlife oriented one.</span></p><p><span><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009314900,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009314900,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-full" height="405" alt="9009314900?profile=original" /></a></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Comfort of stay and amenities</strong></span></p><p><span>The next step is to book the right hotel. You shouldn’t always aim for the best deal, as there may not be adequate amenities to enjoy the city in. Bangalore’s weather is one of the best features of the city, making a pool visit or a spa session that much more appealing.</span></p><p><span>Comfort of stay will also decide where you need to book the hotel. You can go online and review a Bangalore hotels list quite easily. From there, you can start calling them one-to-one and get a good package overall. The luxury hotels near Bangalore international airport are generally the best ones.</span></p><p><span>Your concierge should also be a friendly one. That’s a good way to start the trip, when your hotel manager is nice and friendly. You can contact these hotels via the phone to understand how guest-friendly they are.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Weekend/ Weekday, traffic and what places to visit</strong></span></p><p><span>If you’re dropping by for the weekend, then a quick visit to the local nightlife makes sense. If you’re visiting for longer durations, then staying at a luxury hotel is a good idea. You want to balance stay, rest and energy all at once.</span></p><p><span>Depending on the traffic situation of where you want to be, you should book a comfortable stay nearby. If you’re coming for a wedding or an office visit, then staying near the major hubs is a good idea.</span></p><p>You also want to list out all the places you want to see, so that you can map it up when it’s time to leave. For a bars and breweries trip, 100 ft road is perfect. For a café extravaganza, Indiranagar should be the place to stay.</p></div>You Cannot Afford to Miss Chandigarh in Wintershttps://tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/you-cannot-afford-to-miss-chandigarh-in-winters2018-10-10T05:44:19.000Z2018-10-10T05:44:19.000ZShruti Sharmahttps://tripatini.com/members/ShrutiSharma<div><p>Here come the winters. A bitter cold wave sweeps across the northern belt and it is time to curl up near the heaters and swath yourself in layers of woollens. There is one city, though, which dons its very best in these winter months and life itself becomes one long celebration – Chandigarh.</p><p>Chandigarh has a simple philosophy. Winters are meant for the simplest but most profound pleasures. Getting dressed in the trendiest clothes, well cut suits, sturdy booths, thick and rustling silks, and stylish jackets - making winter clothing all about style and sophistication is what the people of Chandigarh believe in. Markets like Sector 17 and Elante Mall are just the places to pick out the season's best designer labels.</p><p><a href="https://www.thelalit.com/the-lalit-chandigarh/suites-and-rooms/" target="_blank">Hotel rooms in Chandigarh</a> fill in with visitors who pour in to celebrate the winter season with rave parties and bonfires. Come Christmas the streets are decked up with bright stars and angels and Christmas trees. This is the time you must try out on of the amazing bakeries in town and gorge on all the rum cakes, brownies, cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate you can. And then come the fabulous New Year parties. Kitty Su, Score, Peddlers, and all the jazzy clubs are decked up and ready for the rave parties with good food and great music. </p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009313275,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009313275,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" height="437" alt="9009313275?profile=original" /></a></p><p>Whatever you do, do not miss out on the sheer variety of culinary delights that Chandigarh restaurants serve up in winters. This is the best time for the classic "<em>makki di roti and sarson da saag</em>". Head straight to the famed Pal Dhaba or other local restaurants that serve your meal with a hearty helping of butter. If it is fine dining you're into head to the Baluch or the Black Lotus - again great places to find scrumptious food. Winter is the time for fresh produce and Chandigarh sure knows how to take advantage of this. If you're in the mood for some desserts get straight to Sindhi Sweets or any of the numerous sweet shops to try the hot <em>gajar ka halwa</em> or <em>jalebi</em> with <em>rabdi</em>.</p><p>The one thing that makes winters come alive in Chandigarh, though, is the international rose festival. Zakir Hussain Rose Garden is literally a riot of colours with about 1600 different kinds of roses all abloom. The annual rose festival is a great tourist draw and <a href="https://www.thelalit.com/the-lalit-chandigarh/offers/" target="_blank">Chandigarh hotels offer deals</a> and attractive packages during the festival. In recent times Pawan Hans helicopters have also been made available for tourists to get a bird’s eye view of the garden. This is not all. Chandigarh is the city of gardens and each of these is abloom with bright, beautiful blooms through winter. This is certainly not a city to be missed this winter season.</p></div>Best 5-star hotel and spa in Mauritius hotelhttps://tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/best-5-star-hotel-and-spa-in-mauritius-hotel2018-10-22T18:53:12.000Z2018-10-22T18:53:12.000ZSimon Hopeshttps://tripatini.com/members/SimonHopes<div><p>Anahita golf and spa resort, Mauritius, is topmost 5-star hotel and spa in Mauritius, it is spread in 213 hectares, it has an 18-hole golf course.

That’s why this is the month so popular for travellers who don’t want to get stuck during the busy wedding-Christmas season of November and December. September serves as the perfect balance point between the busy months surrounding it and is a great month to visit the city of dreams, Mumbai (Bombay).</span><strong><br /> <br /> <br /> Perfect Weather Conditions</strong></span></p><p><span><br /> While Mumbai rains are generally unpredictable, September is the one month where the showers get under control. That moment you wake up after the last showers have taken place, is priceless. The colours of the city come alive and a cup of coffee at a top hotel does the trick. <a href="https://www.thelalit.com/the-lalit-mumbai/" target="_blank">five-star hotels in Mumbai like The LaLiT Mumbai</a> are packed during this time of the year. Travellers want to get the best views from their window and enjoy the calming sounds of nature in the chaotic city. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong><br /> Booming Party Life</strong></span></p><p><span><br /> March to June are often considered the humid months in Mumbai, with July and August being the rainy season months. Mumbai’s appetite for outdoor exploration is at its peak in September. That’s when the city comes alive and parties all night long. The residents visit some of the hottest clubs in the city and have a great time dancing to the latest beats. It’s also the one month where everyone enjoys the perfect weather and has some of the top cuisines in the city.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong><br /> Driving Down to Lonavla, Amby, Khandala</strong></span></p><p><span><br /> September is also the perfect month to take a drive out of the city.

Also dubbed "the City of Joy," it's a mix of splendid colonial-era and contemporary architecture, as well as modern-middle-class neighbourhoods and squalid slums. <br /> <br /> Most of all, though, it's considered India's intellectual capital and foremost hotbed of creativity and the arts, giving rise to cultural figures such as 20th century poet Kazi Nazrul Islam; filmmaker Satyajit Ray; and <span class="js-about-item-abstr">poet, musician, and artist</span> Rabindranath Tagore. The dynamism, cosmopolitanism, and Bengali culture of Kolkata give it a feel quite different from elsewhere in India <br /> <br /> I stayed - and attending one of the best weddings I've ever attended - at one of the finest <a href="https://www.thelalit.com/the-lalit-kolkata/" target="_blank">one of the city's finest hotels, The LaLiT Great Eastern Kolkata</a>, a colonial-era grande dame which I used as a base to visit top Kolkata classics such as:</p><p><br /> <br /> <em><a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Dakhineshwar_Temple_beside_the_Hoogly%2C_West_Bengal.JPG/800px-Dakhineshwar_Temple_beside_the_Hoogly%2C_West_Bengal.JPG" target="_blank"><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Dakhineshwar_Temple_beside_the_Hoogly%2C_West_Bengal.JPG/800px-Dakhineshwar_Temple_beside_the_Hoogly%2C_West_Bengal.JPG?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-center" width="800" alt="800px-Dakhineshwar_Temple_beside_the_Hoogly%2C_West_Bengal.JPG?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a><a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dakhineshwar_Temple_beside_the_Hoogly,_West_Bengal.JPG" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:8pt;">Knath</span></a></em></p><p><br /> <br /> The Victoria Memorial - This palatial white-marble building completed in 1921 in memory of Britain's Queen Victoria houses filled with both fine Western and Indian art.<br /> <br /> Howrah Bridge - An impressive steel span over the Hooghly River, completed in 1942 and a well known symbol of the city and of West Bengal state. <br /> <br /> Dakshineshwar Kali Temple - This grand, 165-year-old temple compound (above) is devoted to the goddess Kali and god Shiva and associated with the famed 19th-century mystic Ramakrishna.<br /> <br /> The Indian Museum - Founded in 1814, India's oldest museum (and the world's ninth oldest) is a treasurehouse of Indian art as well as archaeology, anthropology, geology, zoology, and botany. <br /> <br /> <br /> <img alt="File:PrincepGhat.jpg" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/PrincepGhat.jpg/800px-PrincepGhat.jpg" /><br /> <span style="font-size:8pt;"><em><a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PrincepGhat.jpg" target="_blank">Moinak</a></em></span><br /> <br /> <br /> There are plenty of other places and experiences here that will captivate you, as well. Massive Gariahat Market is always thronged with people browsing its shops selling exotic clothing, jewelry, home decor, electronic goods, household items, and even pets; there are also plenty of eateries. Spending an evening at the 179-year-old, Neoclassical-style Princep Ghat (above), where locals gather to stroll along the River Ganga, go boating, and eat street food, was a beautiful experience, sitting on the riverbank with my legs in the water and watching it shimmer under the moonlight; I spent hours with my camera trying to capture that surreal beauty. The reknowned College Street Coffee House was also on my list. It's not the coffee that lures Belgalis here but the vibe, and to sit with friends and discuss politics and philosophy. Perpetually busy Park Street is another major attraction, full of restaurants, shops, pubs, and other nightspots; it's said that Park Street never sleeps.<br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/Boyal_Macher_Jhol.jpg/800px-Boyal_Macher_Jhol.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/Boyal_Macher_Jhol.jpg/800px-Boyal_Macher_Jhol.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-center" width="800" alt="800px-Boyal_Macher_Jhol.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a><a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Boyal_Macher_Jhol.jpg" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:8pt;"><em>শক্তিশেল</em></span></a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Speaking of restautants, food is of course also a big part of the Kolkata experience, both mouth-watering street food and dining establishments serving elegant Bengali cuisine, with specialties including macher jhol (Bengali fish curry, above), bhat (lentil soup), shukto (mixed vegetables cooked in a milk-and-mustard based gravy), aloo posto (potatoes cooked in poppyseed paste), biriyani (rice mixed with various meat and vegetables), and luchi (deep-fried flatbread).</p><p><br /> And every step of the way, I made memories - and saved many of them on film. I made it a point to make pictures of everybody I met, everywhere I travelled, and everything I ate. Photography being my hobby, in all my itineraries my only constant has been my camera, my quintessential travel companion. Travelling the world with my camera allows me to capture emotions and create memories, and photographs help me to go back in time and relive those beautiful moments. What can possibly be better as a companion than your camera, which has always got your back? </p><p><br /> Intrigued?
