The first subject, Mexico's Hotelito Desconocido, is now officially on my list of "dream vacations":
‘Hotelito‘ generates it own power via solar means and that’s only used for indispensable resort needs like hot water and refrigeration. At night, the rooms and restaurant are lit by hundreds of candles and luminaries light the pathways that meander throughout the property. Beyond that, guests are left off-the-grid to enjoy some true downtime.I took a look at the resort's website for more information, and was impressed with what I found. While Hotelito may be a bit pricey for many travelers, they certainly provide their guests with true luxury treatment. The "Full Eco-Luxury Plan" includes
Amenities like creams and such are 100% natural, the water comes from a neighbouring estuary, and the food is prepared with fruits and vegetables grown in their own organic garden. The owner and founder, Marcello Murzilli, explains his philosophy as…”Hotelito was created for the new millennium. In every aspect, it speaks of change, and of taking care of nature.”
Accomodation in a palafito for 8 days and 7 nightsI suppose I shouldn't be thinking too hard about vacations since I'm job-hunting (which, btw, is going well), but, wow, this place sure looks like an ideal spot for genuinely eco-friendly downtime...
