"The Turtle Inn, part of the Coppola Family Hideaways collection, makes it easy to live out your castaway fantasies without quitting your job. Set on the white sand beach of Placencia, the hotel invites guests to feel like a local with its Inn Residence package. Stay 30 days or longer and you’ll receive 20 percent off the nightly room rate and all food and beverage, one private-chef prepared meal per week of your stay, and a $300 credit for tours and activities. Speedy wifi allows guests to work from the comfort of their open-air beach bungalow or villa and devote downtime to pursuing passions, like finally getting PADI certified. On weekends, guests can immerse themselves in the local culture with Maya/Creole cooking lessons, trips to Mayan ruins or birding workshops with the resident ornithologist. (from $329 per night)" - Jen Murphy
