Hotel Towel Art Still Exists (In Cuba)

Where: Finca Santa Ana, Trinidad, Cuba

Yes, hotel towel origami is still alive and well, at least at the Hotel Las Cuevas in Trinidad, Cuba.

Perhaps (we hope) because these guests were on their honeymoon, hotel staff went to all the trouble of twisting and contorting a bunch of towels into this love-heart flanked by two, well, towel-people. Strange-looking people, though, because their arms start at the top of their heads. But the idea is sweet.

However, not only is the towel art completely over-the-top, there's even a handwritten note in the middle of the artwork--we're just bummed it's too small for us to read. What a pity that some of the time and effort used to create this whole towel origami thing wasn't used in modernizing the bedspread instead.

Keep the Carnival Going at the Hyatt Regency Trinidad

Where: #1 Wrightson Road, Trinidad, Trinidad and Tobago

Jaunted opened our eyes last week to the party central that is Trinidad and Tobogo when Carnival rolls into town. The festival, which celebrates several religious and cultural events (in the form of nearly naked dancers), takes place this year on February 25 but Trinidad and Tobogo will actually start kicking off the celebrations in a few weeks.

If the debauchery of Mardi Gras in New Orleans has gotten a bit tiresome for you and you can't quite make it to Rio de Janeiro, then this could be the easiest way to try out Carnival. For a safe, reliable choice in Trinidad and a way to earn up to 20,000 bonus loyalty points, consider the new Hyatt Regency.
