Frenchmans Lookout, Tortola, British Virgin Islands
“Wake up with the sun….flooding through the second floor suite through a wall of windows. Open the French doors to the wrap-around porch and choose your vantage point. To the south is the US Virgin Island of St. John to the north is the white-sand beaches on Jost Van Dyke…and all around are sea level boaters who have no idea what the are missing….”

The restaurant has grown through five generations and blossomed into the largest family owned hotel group in Italy. Good food and service prevail, so come see why Saveur Magazine,(4/10) picks the Bettoja Hotel’s 4½ star Mediterraneo as the place to stay when experiencing the pleasures of the Eternal city.
Hacienda Petac, Mexico
“This is the place to bring the whole gang and dream about years later. A beautifully resorted hacienda on the outskirts of Merida with lots of green space for the little ones to run around, a charming staff dedicated to the clients’ wants and the most magical of guest rooms. While away in hammocks stretching just over the pool… learn how to make piñatas with the kids and then go on a bike ride…Nature is at its finest with Pigmy owls and tree frogs making music…There is always something cooking in the kitchen ready for an impromptu cooking lesson. ~Recommend Magazine 9/10
Cala Mia, Isla Boca Brava, Panama
“Private islands are neither affordable nor easy to come by. An exception to this rule: Isla Boca Brava, an eight-square-mile spit of land off Panama's Pacific coast. Situated on the boundary of the lush, tropical Golfo de Chiriqui National Marine Park, the secluded island is home to the solar-powered Cala Mia eco-resort.
Snorkel, kayak the surrounding coastline, or take a scuba trip to the submerged mountains of Los Ladrones, where humpback whales and manta rays roam.” ~Outside Magazine 2009
Kinondo Kwetu, Diani Beach, Kenya
“Something new on the Kenyan Coast… Hallelujah! An amazing hideaway that reflects the sophistication of the Sweedish owners. It is like a stage set with out being phoney. There are lots of nooks for quite moments, two pools including one for the tadpoles, a lovely slice of beach… pristine. The place is into yoga, and has its own horses, tennis court and dive centre… the food is properly good and the chef will conjure up special requests at a moment's notice. An instant hit.”
