Vacation like celebrities without the expense |
|
|
One of the things that stars prize is privacy and many of them are willing to do whatever they can to get it. Think Brangelina at the Burning Shore Resort - they rented the whole place. In other words, privacy and luxury come at a steep price. Some of you write that you would like to enjoy the same level of privacy and peace but do not have the money to pay like the stars. Well, we took a trip to find out and here is one destination where you can get most of what you want without the huge price tag.
We have already highlighted Honduras, a country in Central America where Mel Gibson filmed Apocalpyto and Richard Gere vacations frequently. John John Kennedy even went on his honeymoon there. But we are not talking about Copan or Roatan in Honduras - two destinations that attract the most celebrities. We are talking about the tiny island of Utila.
Vacation in Utila
Utila is still one of the best kept secrets and to the best of our knowledge, not yet a favorite of Hollywood celebrities, but it has everything that one needs to have a great Caribbean vacation without the price tag.
To arrive in Utila, you can fly to either Tegucigalpa or San Pedro Sula from the United States. From there on you can either take a very short flight or take the ferry from La Ceiba.
The island has just a few thousand inhabitants with no roads (and therefore, no cars/trucks). It is fun to go on a bike or just walk to wherever you want to go. While it is considered to be a paradise for divers, you do not have to do it if you are not interested.
Since the island is not very well connected with the rest of the world, it means almost everything that you consume there is either locally grown or comes fresh from the water.
While there are luxurious resorts like the Mango Inn , Jade Seahorse, and Colibri Hill Resort, you can stay in many hotels for $10 a day. If you plan on spending few weeks, you might want to consider renting an apartment - a much cheaper option.
