Kessler Hotels perfect the art of traveling well

As sexy as Elizabeth Hurley in a bikini, El Monte Sagrado is primed for seduction. She'll titillate you with El Monte SagradoEl Monte Sagradoher over-the-top opulence - the Morocco room is straight out of a scene from Pretty Woman. If you're prone to envy, stop reading now. It's all you imagine and more.

What they do right...

  • Living Spa: An old grove of cotton trees dictated El Monte SagradoEl Monte Sagradothe layout of the property. A waterfall, stone sculptures, footbridge, and a trout pond enhance the natural beauty of the trees. Within minutes, I felt myself relax and tune into the breeze blowing through the branches.
  • Green Philosophy: All water on the property is recycled with a Living Machine - an ecologically engineered system for collecting, treating and recycling water with minimal impact on the land. A Biolarium (a beautiful glass atrium filled with plants) within the spa lets guests experience firsthand how water sustains all life.
  • What they need help with...

  • Transportation: Taos doesn't have a public transportation system and cab service is sketchy at best. If you're dining out for the evening and plan to drink, arrange a ride back to the hotel before you head out.

    • On Costa Rica Volunteerism for Families - Part 2, Chris Hill said "Trips blending eco-sightseeing with volunteering are our specialty at Hands Up Holidays; be they tailor-made adventures, or one of our fixed date departures. I set up Hands Up Holidays with the passion to create amazing vacations where people got to learn about other cultures, explore a destination, and interact meaningfully with the locals, through the medium of carefully consulted volunteer projects. Families do indeed get a lot out of our trips, as do couples, single travellers, and seniors. Yours in Adventures That Count Chris "

    • On Myanmar Disaster Relief – Volunteer Vacations Can Help, Jen said " If you're frustrated that you don't have a response yet, I can understand. Right now the agencies are still dealing with a lot of paperwork to get into Myanmar. However, once they are in, they need names and applications on file so they can call on you when they are ready to go. If your vacation dates are more structured, why don't you contact an agency which runs volunteer programs all the time, you'll be able to make a difference somewhere without driving your boss nuts waiting to find out when you're going. Good luck!"
