Think you’ve seen Costa Rica? Not without a visit to Monteverde…
It’s a simple truth – if you haven’t been to Monteverde, if you haven’t explored its cloud forests, sampled its coffee or had a few close encounters with its wildlife, you haven’t really been to Costa Rica. For one, it’s just been voted amongst the 25 most beautiful places around the world by CNN, but […]
More than Ten Years without Single Use Plastics and Counting…
It’s mid-2019 and there’s no denying that the movement against single-use plastics is well underway. We’re excited that it’s finally taken off and thank our friend Susan Goldberg, Chief Editor at National Geographic, and her team for their report on plastic last year. It really seems like the concept caught on. Now a hot topic, […]

What is New Luxury?
Sometimes we struggle with the word “Luxury” when we talk about the Cayuga Collection Experience. One the one hand, we are a luxury experience because of the level of service and installations we offer – and of course also because of our premium rates. But on the other hand, we don’t fit into the profile of […]
