Do the words “tropical island” trigger fanciful and imaginative journeys that are so colorful, you can almost feel the sun and breezes wash across your body? This is the reaction most of us have when we spot photos of palm trees sprinkled along sugar-white beaches.
Would it surprise you to find out that tropical islands weren’t always viewed as paradise on earth? Once upon a time, tropical islands—especially in the Caribbean—were used to exile people for bad behavior. Whoever came up with the idea of putting penal colonies on gorgeous islands must not have been in their right mind!
Imaginative thinkers began to question why islands were devoted to punishing people rather than rewarding them, thus today’s burgeoning tourism industry reminds us that “tropical paradise” is a relatively new concept—and aren’t you delighted that things have changed so dramatically?
There are islands—and there are islands
What have your island experiences been like? If you’re still waiting to fulfill this wish, start in Belize where offshore paradises include Manta Island Resort. This sanctuary is truly “the island for all visitors” because unlike pricey spots that limit visitors to the rich, single, and elite, Manta is also a family favorite. It’s located on an ancient atoll; thus, visitors enjoy both an idyllic vacation experience in addition to learning the delightful history of this former pirate’s haven.
Name a tropical resort feature and find it at Manta Island Resort:
- A perk-filled All Inclusive Package crafted to deliver the ultimate carefree experience
- Tours and onsite amenities that have been known to leave veteran island visitors in awe
- Family-focused appeal
- An on-site spa with myriad services including yoga by the sea
- Beachfront dining that’s so amazing, non-guests boat over to claim gourmet cookery that has no competition.
What a difference a century makes!
Consider the environment into which you’ll find yourself the moment you step off the boat that takes you from the mainland to Manta Island Resort. You’ll be wrapped in warm hospitality when you disembark and tour the resort. Will you be able to resist thoughts that this lush getaway heaven was once a rugged piece of coral more hospitable to buccaneers than to travelers craving the ultimate vacation?
But more surprises await. You may be shocked to learn that Manta offers several specials that reduce the cost of a stay in paradise. Is there a catch to both? They’re limited to folks who can grab a break before the year ends, so if you have been hoping to end 2025 on a festive note, make it happen by booking immediately.
Tell your friends you’re off to vacation on an island that may once have been considered a place of punishment for folks who did bad things in addition to being a haven for marauding pirates. Who doesn’t love a tall tale that could leave your peeps a bit incredulous?
