			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With white sand and Caribbean waters, Holbox Island is a paradise for nature lovers. Las Nubes hotel – where you will be staying – has a location that can&#8217;t be beat, not only by the beach but right by the sea.</p>
<p>In this fishing town there isn&#8217;t room for cars and there aren&#8217;t even paved streets. Instead, we find sand streets, golf carts, and bicycles.</p>
<p>Even though it is ideal for relaxing, Holbox also invites you to experience an adventure – from May to September Holbox receives its most celebrated guest: the whale shark. A day tour to swim with these gentle giants is a never-to-be-forgotten experience.</p>
<p>The island experience won&#8217;t be complete without tasting its famous lobster pizzas, visiting the artisans&#8217; stores, and touring the island in a golf cart, searching out a hidden corner of beach, far from everything.</p>
<p>A 2-night, 3-day escape from:</p>
<ul>
<p>$1,215 USD from the Cancún airport<br />
$1,387 USD from the Mérida airport</p>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
Price includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Private transportation from the airport – Chiquilá – airport</li>
<li>Ferry from Chiquilá – Holbox – Chiquilá</li>
<li>Golf cart to Las Nubes</li>
<li>2 nights in Las Nubes, Bungalow Garden View room category</li>
<li>Welcome beverage</li>
<li>Daily breakfast</li>
<li>Traveler&#8217;s insurance</li>
<li>Taxes</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>IN ADDITION, our summer special includes:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Special room decoration</li>
<li>15-minute courtesy massage</li>
<li>10% discount on the whale shark expedition</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Summer Special: Valid for stays between June 1 through August 31, 2013.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just wanted you to know that everything was perfect at the hacienda. Our clients were absolutely amazed by the place, as I knew they would be. Cristina was extremely helpful and responsive to our requests, and Raul in particular was wonderful. The food was even better than the last time I was there. What a great staff you have. We are hoping to do the same trip again next year, so I’ll be in touch in the near future to make a reservation. Thanks again for all your help managing our accommodations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I meant to write to you last week to thank you for arranging such an amazing day. Jose was the best and such a pleasure to spend the day with. We wish we could have had him with us for the week! We just fell in love with the Yucatan and the people and your tour was a real highlight.</p>
<p>I will admit the cenote at the hacienda absolutely took our breath away and for my children was the absolute best experience of the trip. We all take the memories of being in that magical place with us to sleep &#8211; incredible. As for the lunch, my wife and I agreed it was the best meal of the entire trip. Please pass this on to the staff there.</p>
<p>Muchas gracias for such an amazing day and please do pass our thank on to Jose again. Tell him that Will (our youngest) thinks he is the nicest man he has ever met!</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>J. March 22, 2012</p>
