Even the most experienced travelers know that a contemporary emphasis on sustainability—producing a smaller carbon footprint and maintaining eco-friendly operations—has become trendy at Caribbean resorts these days. Referred to as off-grid vacationing, resorts known for this practical approach to operations are not only appreciated but sought out because these properties generate their own power, use unique water sourcing methods, and waste management techniques.
Does this mean that guests are expected to live like hippies? Hardly. In fact, some of these resorts are so posh they can afford to upgrade everything about their guest experience. The ultimate example of this trend is Manta Island Resort, the family-friendly destination known for self-sufficiency and clever methods of operation. Does this mean that guests must live in the dark or do without luxe appointments? Hardly. Manta is one of the most elegant resorts in Belize, a fact that frequent guests count on!
An island by any other name is an atoll
Visitors seeking the island experience who insist on even more bang for their buck will be surprised to discover that rather than staying on a tiny isle with limited acreage, their experience will instead take place on a 52-mile ring of coral named for former swashbuckling pirates John and Rodger Glover whose exploits add color and excitement to every sojourn. In fact, culture buffs and kids count on this exotic atmosphere to spice up their stays.
Despite the atoll’s primitive roots that harken back to ancient Mayans, guests find elements of luxury that they didn’t necessarily expect, no matter which accommodation they pick for their sojourn. The most modest private oceanfront cabana is beautifully appointed, and for those seeking a glamorous getaway, booking a three-bedroom reef villa with plunge pool delivers an environment that makes it hard to believe that one is staying at what’s considered an off-grid resort.
Dining, wining, and reclining
The fact that Manta’s operation relies upon self-generated power, sophisticated water and waste systems is barely noticeable as guests set about discovering the rich assortment of activities and tours that belie the size of this parcel of coral. Stay as busy as you like courtesy of Manta’s tour options that take advantage of the atoll’s mid-sea location. Say yes to onsite amenities that include kayaks and stand-up paddle boards, or sample a bit of everything.
You won’t be asked to stoke your own fire at mealtime, either. Delicious meals await hungry guests courtesy of Manta’s generous all-inclusive package that features culinary delights at all meals, and avail yourself of Tranquil Tides Spa and Yoga Deck services to restore your spirit and body. Manta may be an off-grid resort, but this property’s spa menu includes mini-massages for youngsters!
The extras make all the difference
Discovering an idyllic destination that relies on off grid sustainability methods to keep the resort running while offering unique extras is no easy feat, yet staff and management take pride in their ability to offer families, couples, singles, and groups customized experiences that have no equal.
