We’ve all been there… It’s the holiday season and we cannot quite figure out that “perfect” gift for the special people in our life. Well here is a novel idea– let’s worry less about wrapping something material in paper we will throw away. Why not give the gift of an amazing, memory-filled vacation?! Here are a few great gift ideas we think would be perfect!
Relax in the Tropics
Look for most of us it is cold! Even our team in the south is suffering through 50 degree weather– that’s freezing for us!!! Why not try to get away to an amazing tropical vacation spot.
One classic option is of course the Riviera Maya area of Mexico. Right now our clients are loving the new Hotel Xcaret and its location with the Xcaret Eco-theme park. This fun attraction has more than 50 natural and cultural attractions, to include things like underground rivers, tons of local animals, and a focus on maintaining Mexican traditions and folklore.
A little further south, and off the beaten path, our clients are loving Ambergris Caye in Belize. This amazing island has its own laid back feel that gets you away from the typical all-inclusive nature of Caribbean destinations and exposes you to the local culture, food, and nightlife. Throw in amazing snorkeling, fishing, and water sports and it is a great place to dis-connect from stress and re-connect with family!
Let’s go Hawaii!
What most people do not realize about Hawaii is each of the islands has its own vibe and feel. Oahu blends modern life, history, and beautiful nature seamlessly. Classic spots like North Shore, Waikiki, and Pearl Harbor draw us all in. The “Big Island” gives us a different feel– its connection to the volcano and multiple climates in such a small place lends itself to an appreciation for the living land. Kauai gives you a classic Hawaiian feel with such a small island so intimately connected to its culture. And Maui seems to blend it all together effortlessly.
No matter the island– and often people visit several– you are sure to find something perfect for your family! Cannot pick where to go? Try a cruise that visits each of the main islands!!!
