Resorts & Hotels
-
The Markland Coastal Beach Cottages- Dingwall, NS
In the best possible way, The Markland reminds me of summer camp. Located on an impossible beautiful piece of land, overlooking the Cabot Strait, the hotel features rustic cabins, a large grassy lawn and views for days.
-
Pine Cay Resort- Pine Cay, Turks and Caicos
Without a doubt, Pine Cay is one of the most beautiful Islands in the world. It is certainly one of the most relaxing. While getting there requires a minor journey, involving several forms of transportation, it is well worth the effort.
-
Nayara Springs- San Carlos, Costa Rica
Tucked in under the dense canopy of the Costa Rica rainforest, Nayara Springs is practically perfect. An adults only enclave, with a magnificent spa, it is the quintessential relaxing resort.
-
Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa- La Fortuna, Costa Rica
Tabacón Thermal Resort is an absolute dream. Like a trip to Fantasy Island, sans seaplane and Mr. Rourke (and supernatural scenarios). It's the embodiment of every tropical vacation you have ever longed for (minus the beach), and its memory will carry you through even the coldest of future winters.
-
Marriott Hacienda Belen- San Jose, Costa Rica
While I usually avoid chain hotels, Marriott's Hacienda Belen is located very close to San Jose's Juan Santamaría International airport, making it an incredibly convenient place to stay before or after a flight. They even provide an airport shuttle, making it an ideal place to start or end a Costa Rica vacation.
