There’s something especially decadent about getting a pedicure in the jungle. Maruba Resort and Jungle Spa, in northern Belize, is offering some great spa deals this summer. Our favorite? Their signature “Mood Mud” body scrub. Brimming with minerals, Maya mud is the kind of rich goop that you’ll happily smear on your body.
You can pick the mud to match your mood: Red Daji "arouses strength, health, sex, passion, and courage." We’ll take a double dose, muchas gracias. ]]>
Spring may be coming soon, but if you need a warm-weather vacay pronto, play "name that bar" and you could be heading to Belize. St. George's Caye Resort will award a three-night stay to the person who comes up with the best name for its bar, which now bears the moniker the Conch Lounge.
The resort's recent renovation included six new cabanas, an island-themed spa and a tropical garden, so officials figured it was time to rename the bar to better reflect its atmosphere. And what better way to choose a new name than hold a contest.]]>
We’ll let you in on a little secret: A hotel review that describes a place as an “exclusive lair where guests live out their recluse fantasies” is pretty much guaranteed to perk our interest.
Well, folks, that’s what ForbesTraveler.com wrote about Cayo Espanto, a private island resort off the coast of Belize that’s officially — albeit apparently belatedly — on our radar. Cayo Espanto made ForbesTraveler.com's 2008 list of the world’s top 400 hotels and resorts (one of two Belize resorts to make the cut, we should mention).
