    Worry-free Travel

    Luxury girls' getaway offers guests free flights from Dallas to Belize

    Ladies, it’s time to pamper yourselves. If you’ve found yourself in a rut and are looking to awaken the mind, body and soul, consider partaking in Reset Retreat, a unique women’s wellness retreat that takes a holistic approach to its comprehensive program.

    The Austin-based company, started by three adventurous women, is offering a luxurious getaway for women to reset in Ambergris Caye, Belize. The exclusive island excursion includes staying in a beachfront cabana, nutritious meals, daily yoga, life coaching, massage and spa treatments, town exploration, and local charitable activities.

    “Amergris Caye is stunning, has unique adventure activities, ranks high on the safety scale from the U.S. State Department and is extremely close to the United States,” explains Reset Retreat co-founder and Austinite Cierra Savatgy-King.

    “We saw Amergris Caye was frequently listed as one of the best luxury vacation spots and knew that it would provide an excellent setting for our guests to decompress.”

    Savatgy-King met Reset Retreat co-founders Natalie Jenkins and Crystal Veness on a week-long sailing trip in Croatia.

    “We started to discuss our struggles with personal expectations, not feeling ‘good enough,’ feeling stuck in life and the difficulty of changing negative patterns. Things so many women feel but rarely discuss openly,” says Savatgy-King.

    “We didn’t know each other and didn’t know if we’d ever meet again, so immediately the protective walls dropped. We openly shared and realized we were all going through similar hurdles.

    “We were in this stunning location with all our senses firing, and we knew we would never forget these personal growth conversations. The uniqueness of the situation and the beauty of our surroundings were inspiring.”

    That vacation turned into a “fierce brainstorming session” about developing growth opportunities for women through unbelievable experiences, thus resulting in the creation of Reset Retreat.

    The inaugural retreat — a huge success — was held in February 2015. Much of what worked in the initial excursion will also be included in the upcoming retreat, which occurs November 4-9, 2015.

    Reset Retreat ensures women feel comfortable and facilitates learning in a fun way. A highly knowledgeable nutritionist, yoga instructor and life coach will be on hand during the getaway, and daily exercises will focus on personal growth, discovery and detox. The retreat also offers a day trip to the Hol Chan Marine Reserve on a private catamaran, where guests can swim alongside sting rays, turtles and nurse sharks, which Savatgy-King ensures are “docile and sweet creatures.”

    The retreat is held at an intimate boutique hotel on the north part of the island, directly on the beach with unlimited access to sun, sand and waves. The price is $3,390 if you are sharing a room with a fellow guest or $3,790 for private accommodations. This includes all of the activities and meals, plus the flight and boat ride from Belize City to Amergris Caye.

    But it gets better. From now until June 15, Reset Retreat is paying for confirmed guests’ flights from Dallas, Austin and Houston to Belize City. Reset Retreat will also handle the complete booking for travel arrangements so that your reset is truly worry-free.

    For more information, visit the Reset Retreat website and learn more about the participants’ experiences from the February 2015 event.

    Guests who book now snag a free flight to Belize City.

    lets go camping

    Llama ranch near Dallas roams onto America's 50 favorite camping spots

    A family-owned, llama roaming ranch just an hour outside Dallas was just declared one of America's 50 favorite camping spots in 2026.

    The field guide was compiled by online marketplace Hipcamp following a review of campsite ratings from users, regional trends, cultural relevance, and a "spirited debate" of Hipcamp experts. Campgrounds were chosen from 35 different states and organized into seven regions: the Pacific Northwest; California and Hawaii; the Southwest; the Mountain West; the Great Plains and Midwest; the Northeast; and the Southeast.

    Llama Land Ranch in Tool, Texas was one of nine total campgrounds featured in the Southwest region. The ranch is the perfect place for families to go on core memory-making excursions like meeting the free roaming llamas or watching out for other wildlife like wild boars. The ranch spans 101 acres, and a 50-foot deep creek also flows along the property lines for fishing and swimming.

    "The llamas will come to greet you and so will many more things in this wonderful place," the ranch's listing says. "We are conveniently located in a secluded area, but just a short drive from many local conveniences."

    The listing also specifies that the pastures are only mowed three times a year and some of the property is on rough terrain, so campers are welcome to bring their own machetes if they want to explore the area thoroughly.

    There are 14 sites available for guests to set up camp, with a mix of tent-only, RV/tent, and RV-only sites. The ranch is also very affordable; sites can be booked for as little as $15 per night.

    Many reviewers enjoy getting out into the country to reconnect with nature, and many also praise the ranch's owner, Judy, who says the ranch has been in her family since 1987.

    "I went with a group of women for an overnight camp at the pond," one reviewer wrote. "It was so beautiful and a much needed break from city life. The host was wonderful and kind. She was also very accommodating to our group."

    A second Dallas-Fort Worth-area campground tucked away in Texas' newest state park was also highlighted in the report. Warbler Ridge Campground, located in Palo Pinto Mountains State Park, was the only other Texas representative on the list.

    The pet-friendly campground's listing doesn't offer many details, but it says there are 22 RV and tent campsites for visitors, as well as showers, toilets, potable water, and picnic tables. There are activities galore for visitors, including a 68-acre lake for swimming, fishing, and boating, and over 16 miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.

    The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department says campsites at Palo Pinto Mountains State Park start at $13 per night (plus a daily entrance fee) for hike-in primitive sites. Walk-in campsites with water are $15 per night and campsites with electricity are $30 per night.
