Yes, in my whole career I have never seen it happen that a good visited wellness hotel has NOT a map for travel directions to itself.

Anyway, this city plan finally gives you detailed information on where exactly hotel is located. You make sure however that plan does not only show a mini cut-out, but also large environment.

What if you just get a mini cut-out?

Frankly, every day I experience our 'service desert' on earth and I am very annoyed about it. Do you know our service desert? By that I mean that only few understand something about customer service. Sometimes you see humans who react badly and disappointing, when you want something from them. Here I use gladly quotation 'attention, customer threatens with order!' : -) And sometimes you must settle something on your own fist.

Anyway, ask for entire address (street, city, URL) and do a research on Internet by yourself! With URL of Secret Resorts you look with *impartial* eyes throughout sites of hotels to find information you are looking for.

With street and city in your hand you go to an online route planner or city map. On Internet there are free route planners. Some of them work international. When you selected yourself a few Secret Resorts in which you want to dip more deeply, go to these route planners and examine where exactly hotels are. Make sure that you have correct address and find exact layout plan of respective Secret Resorts.

It should not be directly at a through road. It is better, if it is at or in proximity of a forest or at outskirts of a town.

If you however have problems to find those maps and directions with your favourite route planner, go to www.smart-travel-germany.com/smart-travel-guide.html and sign up for my free Special Report. I show you step-by-step how you can use our German route planners and our travel information portal of German Rail (without any German language skill). You will have a quite comfortable way to find your most wanted Secret Resorts. And I am telling you, you will LOVE my videos :-)

Anyway, this was first part of my checklist to find Secret Resorts in Germany. In next three parts I will go in details to age, condition, wellness sector and hotel classifications.

Enjoy your trip!

More Secrets Of Cheap Travel

Plane Tickets: My wife and I were planning a trip to visit family in Ecuador. The cheapest airfare from Traverse City, Michigan to Quito, was $1720. Out of curiosity, I checked Miami to Quito, and it was only $404. Airfare from Traverse City to Miami was $300. Book two separate flights and save more than $2000! The discount sites aren't set up to search in this way (yet), so you have to do this on your own. By way, whole six-week trip, which we took in 2004, cost $2400, including losing $100, and being robbed of $174.

Food: Whether traveling here or in other countries, it is usually cheaper to buy some healthy snacks in a grocery store, rather than eat every meal in a restaurant. When you do eat in restaurants, it can be cheaper to to order individual items on menu from list of appetizers or side dishes. You also may get more variety in that way.

Accomodations: For a long trip, you may want to rent an apartment in an interesting city. We did this for two months in Tucson, for about $600 less per month, compared to even cheaper motels. Watch for hotel coupon-books in gas stations. The coupons will often save you $10 on a room you would have stayed in anyhow. If you have a conversion van or RV, you can camp a couple nights a week, like we do, to save on motels. We love hotsprings we've stayed at, for a $3 fee to BLM, instead of $40 for cheapest motel in area.

Travel Expenses: Do more and travel less. It is often traveling part that costs most, due to cost of gas, convenient fast food, and expensive hotels you are forced to pay for when you just can't drive any further. So if you find a place with a reasonable motel, and a lot to do in area - stay for a while!
