These properties are very close to each other, about a 10-minute cab ride. Enjoyed both places very much, and would not hesitate to recommend either one, or both!

There's an informative review of Hacienda Tres Rios from kyshel already, and I think a few things have changed in the past few months. Although the property has been open for a year, it's still new and partially under construction. Those familiar with the area will recall that this site had been an eco park. Apparently the

A couple of years ago we had been to south Lake Tahoe, staying at the base of the Heavenly ski area. We enjoyed Lake Tahoe very much, and said next time we would like stay on the north side. The Resort at Squaw Creek turned out to be the perfect location. I would recommend this resort and the Lake Tahoe area in general to any of you who enjoy outdoor activities. The scenery is magnificent, with the mountains and the lake offering all sorts of things to do, such as golf and hiking in the other seasons.

The slogan on the BVI license plates says "Nature's Little Secrets" and Guana must be one of the best-kept secrets in the Caribbean. Guana Island is an 850-acre privately owned island.

I had met someone on CruiseCritic.com who would be on the same cruise, and we had arranged to share a taxi to the port in Civitavecchia, about an hour away

Weve just returned from a 5-day stay at this property, having enjoyed a LL package that included breakfast every day, one dinner, and two spa treatments person. This property is located at the base of the Jackson Hole ski resort, an area known as Teton Village. Its a 20-minute ride away from the town of Jackson. This makes for an odd disconnect, between the town and ski resort. The base area is expanding, so there are now a number of restaurants and shops. For more of the action, you can take a
