CONVENIENCE

The Academy Bus Line from the Port Authority in N.Y.C. drops you off steps from our door. The Jersey Shore train from Penn Station in N.Y.C. drops you eleven blocks, a short walk or a $2.00 cab ride to our door. The Philadelphia bus also drops you off only steps from the doors of Abunda Life Holistic Healing Retreat. Now there is no longer a need to spend and entire day in travel time coming here and another day traveling home to California, Mexico, Florida or far off distant places.

Our guests appreciate the convenience of only an hour by car from North Jersey and New York City, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Trenton, Atlantic City and Bucks County and only two hours by car from Southern Connecticut, Westchester, Rockland, Nassua, Delaware, Lehigh Valley and Main Line Philadelphia. It is amazing just how centrally located we are.

What this means to you is, There's no need to take long, stressful, enervating, time consuming and expensive trips, costing $300 to $1,000 or more, sometimes costing 50% to 100% or more than your stay at Abunda Life in just travel expenses. Now you can save money, time and energy and be on the ocean and close to your own back yard.

Even if you are flying in from out of the country, we are only a 45 minute drive from Newark Airport by car.

For about 100 years Asbury Park was one of the top resort areas in the nation. People came from all over the world to visit our magnificent beaches, stroll on the boardwalk, breathe in our healthy air, rest, unwind and rejuvenate.


This economical transition created a glut of vacant hotels, rooming houses, apartments, homes and businesses. This vacuum was slowly filled with people in need of low cost housing and wards of the state. As families began moving out, the city continued to run down to a point that it no longer was a desirable place to visit. The city's old administration did little to improve the condition or encourage new business, investment, the creative, the visionary, or the entrepreneur.
    
On election day , "we the people" said enough is enough and throw all the good ol' boys and gals out of office and elected an entirely new city council. The new team ran on the motto, "Those Who Care" and they do care and are resolved with the concerned citizens to rebuild our city to it's former greatness.

In spite of the old element, in spite of everything, our magnificent beaches and boardwalk have not changed, the beautiful ocean has not changed, the cool and gentle ocean winds have not changed, our summers are 10 to 20 degrees cooler, our winters are 5 to 10 degrees warmer than the city,

Our ocean water is purer and cleaner than it's been in decades. Thanks to our governors commitment to patrol the beach with Air National Guard Helicopters to hold the city of New York accountable for it's old dirty practices of ocean dumping.

The Abunda Life Health Hotel is only steps from the beach with all it's splendor. When you check in at the Health Hotel, you are not here to socialize with the neighbors. This is a vacation with a purpose, you are on a program that is contained to our facility with the exception of your health walks on the beach and boardwalk. Unlike N.Y.C. you are perfectly safe at all times.

True, our town is not Palm Springs, but we could be. We're trying, and most important we are convenient and easy to get to by car, bus or train from all parts of Metropolitan New York, Philadelphia and North Jersey, and a 45 minute drive from Newark Airport or Staten Island. We are an hour and twenty minutes from Philadelphia Airport, an hour and ten minutes from Brooklyn and Manhattan, an hour and a half from Queens, two hours from Nassau and Westchester Counties and Southern Connecticut.

True, our 100 year old hotel is not the Golden Door Ranch, but we're more than adequate, but our rates aren't $3,000 to $6,000 for the week, plus plane fare and two days travel time either. Our rooms are comfortable, well decorated, neat and clean with shower stalls.

You will remember Asbury Park for the rest of your life for what you accomplished. You'll be a living testimony to the new way of life that you have learned and will be filled with "the joy for living...and abundant life"..
