We love the stone bath tub the most with the gold fish that swam around the tub. The bed was very comfortable and the area very quiet, which made for a great night sleep. The pool with waterfall is chemical free and cleaned by fish. We can’t say enough good things about this place. We’re going to go back soon.”

The location in the lush greenery fenomenal. The outdoor bathroom was great! Sleeping with the sounds of nature and wake-up with daylight, all amazing. When you love nature and you respect nature this is the place to be!
The other 2 couples stayed in the cottages and this was also great. Beautiful decorated and large rooms. Nice atmosphere. Everything is done with attention in Sebatu sanctuary.
The people are friendly, helpful and caring.
We were on a familytrip with our parents (-in law) age 82 and 80 and the staff was full attention to them. They took all the time to explane everything and nothing was to much to support them. Really helpful.”

#4. Travel Insurance 

For added security and peace of mind, don’t leave home without good travel insurance by SafetyWing. Take it from me – what’s the worst that could happen?

Well, on my first trip to Mexico I got electrocuted in a hostel (yes, seriously). I flicked a light switch in a dark bathroom and felt a sharp burn travel from my finger all the way up my arm, as if it caught fire (you can read about that in this post).

arm blew up

Think I just had a freak accident? What happens if you’re out in Mexico and your appendix suddenly bursts? I cannot stress enough how important travel insurance is.

How much does a luxury glamping tent cost?

Luxury glamping tents range from $100 to over $500 per night. Cost varies based on location, size, and amenities. Remote, scenic sites or spacious, multi-room tents with bathrooms and hot tubs cost more. Simple single tents in easily accessed areas are the most budget-friendly options.

Do glamping pods have bedding?

Glamping pods usually provide basic bedding like blankets, pillows, and sheets. For a more luxurious stay, some offer upgraded linens and bedding for an additional cost. To ensure your comfort, check directly with the glamping pod on what bedding is included and if luxury options are available.

Is glamping better than camping?

Glamping and camping each have their merits, depending on personal preferences. Glamping provides more amenities and comfort through furnished tents with beds and electricity. Camping offers a more rugged, back-to-nature experience. Those seeking luxury in the outdoors may prefer glamping while others may opt for basic camping. The choice comes down to the type of camping experience desired.
