Included meals on a trip can be a convenience, but often isn’t what YOU would have chosen. Lakani believes that your choice is important. While some enjoy gourmet, others prefer more simple fare – or perhaps you desire both! Breakfast is always included to start each day of your vacation. In some locations and lodges meals may be included, but usually you have the freedom and flexibility to experience dining in your own unique way. Indulge in extraordinary service from gourmet, white tablecloth dining; experience local cuisine at a nearby tavern; or have a quiet night with room service. The choice is yours.

Traveling together, whether it is to celebrate a momentous occasion, or just because; it is an unforgettable way to create long-lasting memories and cement relationships.
