Our world traveler Grupo Mayan guests love to be on the cutting edge of things travel. The travel accessory market for travelers is huge and some items you find will be hits while others are misses. The Grupo Mayan staff has sifted through some of the newest items on the market and offers you some suggestions.
- Raise your hand if you remember the hippie “earth shoes of the 1970´s”! The company is still around and now produces the ultimate travel tennis shoe. These tennis shoes will pack flat in your luggage and pop back into shape when unpacked. They, like the old school earth shoes, are designed to give great support for your feet. Perfect for the weary traveler.
- Cell phone technology is growing by leaps and bounds. It seems as if you purchase the latest one and a day later a cell phone comes on the market that will do ten more things. There is now a cell phone created with the traveler in mind. It has options for currency exchange rates, weather and forecasted weather, and a unique feature that will let you access flight arrival and departure information. Great for when you get stuck in traffic on the way to the airport, (or if you are a contestant on the Amazing Race).
- Want the real scoop on your hotel? Several web sites now offer you real reviews from real guests who know what they are talking about. Sure, you could go to your hotel´s web site and find out what amenities are offered, but if you want to know how clean the tub is check out a web site that has reviews from honest to goodness guests.
- Travelers have long lauded the benefits of audio books. They are great for long drives and to drown out noise in any public area. Audio book titles are now available in a broad range of topics. You are no longer left with a slim variety of choices. New titles for audio books range from classics to the newest non-fiction.
- The new craze in European hotels appears to be the hammam. A hammam is a Middle Eastern steam bath and the majority of well known European hotels are now including them on their lists of amenities. The hammams are a great way to relax after a long day of sightseeing and business meetings.
- Travel scents come in many forms. The most well known travel scents are candles to freshen up your room. A safer choice may be the new travel fragrance sprays now available from many health and beauty companies. They are a great way to make your room and your clothes smell great.
The sophisticated travelers who choose Grupo Mayan as their holiday destination will find that we offer all the amenities of home. But when traveling the rest of the world we hope that you will find several of these new travel accessories of use. Grupo Mayan guests are always on the cutting edge of new travel items and we thank them for their many suggestions.
