Luxury Resorts in Antigua Guatemala – La Reunion offers Relaxation, Pampering and Golfing

May 4th, 2009 No comments

There are some outstanding luxury hotels in Guatemala. When looking at Antigua Guatemala luxury resorts La Reunion offers some of the best golf and sports fishing experiences. Antigua luxury resort, La Reunion, is only 17 kilometers away from Antigua Guatemala. In 1979 UNESCO declared Antigua Guatemala a world heritage site. Here is an overview of La Reunion Luxury Golf Resort:

La Reunion is different from most Antigua Guatemala luxury resorts. It combines a residential zone, a sport club, a golf course and Antigua Guatemala luxury hotels. The architecture is elegant and is able to embrace the colonial feel of Antigua Guatemala. It is a fantastic collaboration between wonders of nature and luxury.

La Reunion Antigua luxury resort has 26 colonial hacienda style suites. Each has a private terrace with an outside pool, Jacuzzi and shower. The suites have relaxing ambiance. There are traditional highly detailed Guatemalan wood crafts and furnishings in each unit. Every unit offer views of the four volcanoes.

The master suites have two queen beds and a bathroom. The Suite Gran class has one king size bed, a living room with an ergonomic chair, and a bathroom. A Golf cart is included with the suites. The golf cart is to be used for transportation to the club house and around the resort. The suites also include an LCD TV, a bar, IPod base and CD player.

La Reunions was originally a coffee plantation. Now it is an example of Antigua Guatemala luxury. There are four imposing volcanoes that frame the Antigua luxury resort. They are Agua, Fuego, Acatenango and Pacaya. Volcanoes and mountains are believed to be full of spirit. They are places that provide purifying and rejuvenating energy. Shamans still perform sacred ceremonies on Guatemalan volcanoes and mountainsides. La Reunion has wonderful scenic views of the volcanoes.

La Reunion has a stunning 18-hole professional golf course, Fuego Maya or Mayan Fire. The golf course offers spectacular views of the Fuego volcano and the Pacific coastline. This is a beautiful place to play golf in Antigua Guatemala. The course is designed to demonstrate similarities between the millenary Mayan calendar and golf.

The Mayan calendar has 18 20-day months with an extra period of five days. The first nine holes are connected to the first nine months. In the Mayan calendar the first nine months follow the sun moving north. The last nine holes connect with the last nine months following the sun as it travels south. Wayeb, the last five day period is for relaxing and preparing for the journey ahead. Much like the club houses so fondly known as the 19th hole.

Sports fishing on the Pacific is very popular in Guatemala. It is only 40 minutes from La Reunion golf resort to Guatemalas sport fishing marina. There Billfishing Adventures offers fishing tours or angling adventures. An exhilarating chance to catch sailfish, blue marlin, Dorado, tuna and all varieties of marine life. Sailfish offer a great battle between fish and angler. Sailfish are about 8ft long and 80lbs. They fight when hooked, providing acrobatic displays and speedy runs. A challenge for any sports fisher. La Reunion Antigua Guatemala luxury resort offers the opportunity to combine a golf vacation with sports fishing.

All golfers know that the best place in the world to golf is Myrtle Beach. This beach, also known as the “Grand Strand” stretches sixty miles from Sunset Beach in North Carolina to Pawley’s Island, South Carolina. There are many activities which Myrtle Beach has to offer other than golf. Of course, it is golf which the area is best known for – there are more than 90 golf courses located here, as well as pro shops, golf superstores, golf schools and more. These attractions bring people here on golf vacations from all over the globe. You can choose from many different Myrtle Beach golf packages and even take your entire family along to this Oceanside paradise.

Myrtle Beach has an incredible variety of golf courses to offer. There are low country courses and links. Here you can golf in many different courses offering different terrain in one single golfing vacation. There are also courses on bluffs which overlook the Intra Coastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. These courses offer the additional challenge of ocean winds; sure to thrill golfers who like a challenging course. The Grand Strand is the home of 9 of Golf Digest’s top 100 public courses in America – Tidewater, Heritage, Barefoot Fazio, Barefoot Love, Caledonia, Tigers Eye, True Blue, Rivers Edge and Myrtle Beach Kings North. Myrtle Beach offers courses perfect for newcomers to the game as well as the most experienced golfers. There are so many courses on the Grand Strand that you can start off with a morning tee time and finish the day in an entirely different setting! The tough part is deciding which course to play first! Keep in mind that many of the courses are booked solid during the spring season, so book your Myrtle Beach golf vacation early to ensure a tee time.

A lot of the golf courses on Myrtle Beach are associated with resorts and condo developments. Myrtle Beach golf packages include luxurious accommodations which give you breathtaking ocean views and of course, a front row seat for the green as well as guaranteed tee times! Your Myrtle Beach golf package will also include GPS and automated scoring-enabled golf cart rental. Any equipment you need can easily be obtained from the many golf superstores and pro shops or even custom made here in Myrtle Beach.

The ideal weather, beachside location, excellent seafood in Murrell’s Inlet (South Carolina’s seafood Mecca) and the many golf superstores will make everyone on your trip happy. Myrtle Beach offers something for everyone, whether they are a golfer or not. Scuba diving, deep sea fishing, surfing and of course hanging out on the beach are all popular with vacationers. The Little River area also offers riverboat gambling. A Myrtle Beach golf vacation gives you luxury accommodations, the excitement of golfing on some of the world’s most famous and most challenging courses and endless variety. Myrtle Beach golf courses are available for any time of year – however, if you come between March and May or in October, you may have a hard time securing a tee time unless you have confirmed your vacation plans well ahead of time.

While there are some golf courses at Myrtle Beach that offer very secluded locations, many are in the heart of all of the action. The great thing is that the way the golf courses are structured, even those just yards away from the beach traffic are stunningly quiet and tranquil and you will forget that you are just steps away from some of the busiest streets on the Grand Strand.
