When writing.. I always research what else has been written, opposing ideas and other peoples perspectives .. While doing this about the reasons for staying in a bed and breakfast.. I did not find much... so here we go...
Many people think of BnBs (Bed and Breakfasts) as romantic get aways or for special occasions... that is true and they can be very romantic.. but there are so many other reasons to stay in a BnB...
I think that they are the number one way to really appreciate and immerse yourself in another culture or country.
We have stayed in BnBs in California, Hawaii, London, Greece, Belize Australia , Turkey and more...
Each time, we have had the pleasure of getting to know a town from the locals, eating well prepared local foods and feeling like we belong...
This may be offensive.. but I have never understood a person that travels around the world and chooses to stay in a 5 star resort... They have nice perks.. obviously.. but.. you can get those perks closer to home...
For the more adventurous there are home stays and home exchanges.. we can talk about those at another time.
Going to a well researched BnB guarantees a clean, safe hospitable lodging that is excited to see you and knows how to provide you with local insights, directions and suggestions...
Food wise, you have a personal chef that knows easy simple dishes and the best locals places to dine.
Concierge: The Innkeeper of a BnB will help you make reservations, provide maps and directions and give you a heads up regarding local etiquette and safety.
As we travel to Akumal.. we are following our own advice...
In some areas, specialty accommodations will be more plentiful... these are usually small family run properties... in our upcoming adventure, this is the option we have chosen...
Playa Caribe, Here we come!
