I know that Bad Kissingen its famous for they Hotel/spa package. I don't know the site, maybe you can get some information at the bad kissingen.de

You should try a tropical place. You can go hiking and swimming, go to spas and treat urself maybe a place like cuba which is a huge tourist spot or maybe Puerto Rico, i heard that they have alot of activites that you can do to lose weight and not eat and eat so much .but u know that usually when u go on vacation, u gain weight from all of the fancy dinners

On Oahu, try Ko'olina's Ihilani Spa and Resort. I've heard some really great things about their spa area, and it looks like they have a physical area too.

I don't know any by name right off the top of my head, but, what you may wish to do is to look for health spas or retreats that work under Bikram (heated room) Yoga or Ashtanga (flow, inner-fire, or cardio) Yoga....why?

Because with strict, traditional Yoga, one of the disciplines of that lifestyle *is* the adoption of a vegetarian diet that eventually pares itself down to a vegan if not a *fruitarian* level. It can be a harsh lifestyle, but generally speaking Yoga and vegetarianism go hand in hand when it comes to "yoga as lifestyle" retreats.

Having said that....if you cannot find anything fruitful and wish to do something on your own....I'd recommend going easy on the diet, sticking to a standard lacto-ovo or just plain lacto-vegetarian diet (that is, most veggies plus dairy, maybe eggs). This way you aren't going to go into shock from any sudden lack of vitamins or minerals....

and then emphasize the exercise as moving meditation. Heated Yoga of some sort, be it more like Bikram (heated room) or Ashtanga (cardiovascular/flow yoga), plus weighted cardio (as in running or climbing with backpacks, weighted vests or belts on, to increase the muscle benefits of *weight bearing* cardio).

And of course, then have room for gentler, more medititative and esoteric stuff, the Kundalini yoga or the easy, Hatha or Yoganetics stuff (that latter being a rolling set of floor exercises).

But you get the point I think. Don't emphasize the diet first in your search, look for activities commonly associated with the diet, like the Yoga, or if you get seriously into Aikido, look into their pursuit of the "macro-biotic" diet, which is kind of different from what most mainstream dietitians would consider macro-biotic in the sense of whole, minimally processed foods.

Hope this helps.

First, go to http://tripadvisor.com for reviews from other travelers.
Then, go to http://Luxe.worldventures.com They search all the other main sites like Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity, hotel and airline sites and offer you the lowest price. You’ll save even more when you book it as a package like air and hotel together.

Hi,

Your best bet is one of the larger resorts in the Guanacaste Province (Four Seasons, Paradisus Playa Conchal, etc.) or closer to San José the Marriott Los Sueños.

In the Nicoya Peninsula super cool Punta Islita Hotel may offer children's activities, but my sense is that it is a smaller property and the kid may not find enough playmates.

Cheers,

Carlos
