The best way to make sure is to pull up the site for either a hotel or airline, see what their rate is for at least a 3 day stay, and compare it to the discount you should be getting on a discount site.

But that would be a wrong assumption as there are many attractions, many spas and hotels that are very luxurious. However there is a lot of acreage of wilderness that is uninhabited because it is protected from human development, keeping the nature in natural. Exploration of this fantastic area is a must do, as there are so many things to see, but to cover all of this area you will need a car because it's too big for public transportation. You can easily do it by car so rent one so you can do some exploration, but think about these issues prior to leaving. First make sure your vehicle is in good working order and that you are well stocked with maps, water, a cell phone and a GPS system if it is available. Keep the phone number of your accommodations handy just in case you need to call them for directions. Also, make sure that you have a means of changing a tire if you suddenly get a flat.
