Montage Resort

According to a recent survey by Expedia, the average American has 14 days of vacation per year. Comparing this to Englands 24 and Frances 39 days, it is no wonder so many people suffer from rode rage and take prozac. They have no time to sit back and chill out.

43% of Americans will not take a vacation this summer according to a Gallup poll. This is the lowest percent in 28 years and disgraceful.

Many reasons have been given as to why Americans do not take more vacation time. Among them, people are too afraid to leave their jobs. Expedia’s poll said the typical employee will give back 4 vacation days unused to their employer this year. That is up from 3 days last year.

In a travel article in The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, it touched on another reason why Americans don’t take more time off of work. They don’t want to! It seems hard to believe, but it makes sense. Many people don’t know how to have fun and vacation properly. Just like at work, they cram in too many things to do in too short a time period of time on trips. It is rush, rush, rush from one historic site to another. Some people even make spreadsheets allocating how much time they will spend on each activity, trying to maximize every last minute. They check off each completed activity as if it was another accomplishment on a resume. That’s not a vacation! It is worse then work. It is exhausting. No wonder why they dread vacations. Working to 8pm each night is more relaxing to them. It’s no wonder so many people have unused vacation days. They need to be taught how to relax. And nudist resorts are the perfect way.

The beauty of nudist resorts is everyone kicks backs and relaxes to the max. The nicest boutique nude resorts around like The Terra Cotta Inn Clothing Optional Resort and Spa in sunny Palm Spring, California sunnyfun.com hotel blog about nudism and the resort terracottainn.blogspot.com cater to couples so you don’t have noisy children running all around disturbing you. The hardest decisions you will have to make are when to schedule your massages and what times to eat your meals. Without kids, couples immediately go from mom and dad mode into a romantic husband and wife relationship again. You are reminded as to why you initially fell in love and still feel that way.

And some nudist resorts make it very easy for you to get away. Since almost 25% of people check their work related e-mails while on vacation the best nude hotels have free wifi and all the other business services you would expect at a top notch business hotel. Once people realize they can still check in at the office if necessary, they relax even more on their vacations. And the most amazing thing is most people have so much fun, they forget about work and leave the laptops in their briefcases.

I see and hear about many first time guests at nudist resorts who arrive really stressed out. They decided it is either a vacation clothes free or time for a breakdown. It is an interesting phenomena, once you take your clothes off, the stress immediately melts away. That is why so many celebrities are nudists and stay at topless, nude beaches or resorts as they have some of the most demanding careers around. Until you have stayed at a nudist resort, you just can’t imagine how much fun and freedom you are missing out on.

According to The U.S. Department of Labor, Labor Day was created in 1882 to recognize “the social and economic achievements of American workers.” We truly are the most productive country in the world, but socially we lag far behind especially in enjoying vacations. This year, if you want your best, most fun, romantic vacation ever, give a nudist resort a call. You will be glad that you did.

Tom and his wife Mary Clare Mulhall own the popular Terra Cotta Inn Clothing Optional Resort and Spa in Palm Springs, CA. sunnyfun.com CBSmarketwatch.com called them the most mainstream nudist resort in America and said they are the best nude resort for couples trying nude sunbathing for the first time. As a past president of the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce, Tom is an expert on tourism. It is no wonder that his hotel has one of the highest occupancy and repeat guest rates in the travel industry. If you want your best vacation ever, give them a call at 1-800-786-6938.

I’m an executive in a mergers and acquisitions firm who does a lot of travelling around Australia. In a previous contribution to this website, I posted my short list of favorite five-star hotels. This time around, I’m listing down my favorite five-star golf resorts in Australia. Enjoy!

1. Joondalup Resort

For me, going on a vacation holiday means playing golf – lots and lots of golf. It should not come as any surprise that my favorite five-star resort is the Joondalup Resort, which I consider to be the number one resort golf course in all of Australia (and Golf Australia magazine seems to agree).

It boasts of 27 championship holes, excellent emerald fairways, a flood-lit driving range, motorized cars, practice bunkers and three practice greens. You can even get PGA Tuition here. Imagine, just 20 minutes away from Perth and you end up right in the middle of this golfing paradise.

Once you get tired of golf (what, you actually get tired of golf?), the beach is just a three minute stroll away. You may even choose to just roam around the facility and admire the bushland setting and its network of dunes, lakes and old quarries. The accommodations are magnificent and consist of about 70 grandly appointed rooms and suites, a couple of bars and a superb restaurant that overlooks a swimming pool that looks like a lagoon.

2. Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove

I find myself in Queensland a lot and end up spending plenty of time at the Hyatt Regency Sanctuary on the Gold Coast. Needless to say, the Hyatt Sanctuary has its own championship golf course (two of them, in fact) as well as other exciting sports and recreation facilities, including 10 tennis courts, a formal swimming pool and a fitness center. Aside from the swimming pool, they have a one-acre lagoon with its own sandy beach and salt water.

The hotel looks like one of those grand Qld homes from the 1940s, but this one has nearly 250 rooms. The so-called Great House is the hotel’s centrepiece, with its colonial architecture and rustic furnishings. The entire hotel is surrounded by tropical gardens and paved terraces. There is an in-house Marine Shopping Village for the wives and Camp Hyatt for the kids.

3. The InterContinental Burswood Resort

I must admit that I’ve only been to the InterContinental Burswood Resort in Perth thrice but those three brief visits were enough to earn it a spot on my list. It is an exciting and vibrant place where something is always going on, from the non-stop entertainment offerings to the myriad shows, special events and functions. Why, there are even some games at the Burswood Casino where you can win a million dollars, if you’re lucky.

The entire place just exudes an aura of luxury and sophistication. This place is just a treat for the senses. Their Executive Club Lounge on the 24th floor offers special privileges while the Presidential Suite is the epitome of elegance and indulgence.

There are great views of the Swan River and the parklands. The hotel also hosts the Burswood Recreation Centre, one of Perth’s best and most exclusive Health Clubs, with its own spa, sauna and indoor/outdoor heated pools. Of course, they have their own golf course as well. Have I mentioned that I love to golf?

James Lush of Simply Lush (http://www.simplylush.com) has been reviewing the very best in luxury accommodation available across Australia since he moved here from the UK with his family. His website is a free resource for travellers within Australia and those visiting from overseas, who are looking for the best accomodation available.

Whether it’s a Perth Hotel, a Spa Retreat in Victoria or a luxury Sydney apartment, Simply Lush has something for you. Stop by and check out the reviews and travel articles.
