The Magic of Mukul

For people in most parts of the United States, the month of February truly represents the dog days of winter. The winter holidays are far behind and the mild spring weather just can’t seem to come soon enough.. If you haven’t had the chance to escape the ice and wind or are scratching your head about a spring break, this warm and relaxing spot may be just the ticket.

Mukul is a brand new hotel and spa located in Guacalito de las Isla, Nicaragua. The resort opened at the beginning of February and is in many ways the crown jewel of the burgeoning real estate boom in Nicaragua. Mukul is the vision of Don Carlos Pellas, a developer whose family has deep historical ties with the Central American country. Mukul’s mixture of luxury and sustainability are going to be, as Pellas says, “a game changer for Nicaragua.”

Golf in Las Vegas

Like the Scottsdale area, Las Vegas is famous for world-class golfing experiences. That said, there's no doubt in my mind that Las Vegas has the better off-course scene. With its many resorts and casinos, Las Vegas has a lot more for everyone to enjoy, even those of your party who aren't as enthusiastic about golf. While there are only about 50 courses as opposed to the 200 or so in Scottsdale, Golf in Las Vegas promises a vibrant and exciting atmosphere, full of its own luxurious flavor.
