This was by far one of the best experiences we had on our trip. The cast was fantastic! Wasn't crazy about the dinner and a little sad that the second drink was a beer (not a fan of beer) but that pales in comparison to the amount of fun I had. Not only was the scavenger hunt and play parts fun, but we found a lot of places we went back to afterwards. Thanks for such an amazing time.
Interesting experience, worth the time...

The Alfa is far enough outside of town for a pleasant evening stroll home and a peaceful nights sleep. There is a friendly enough little bar across the street for a nightcap.
Nice staff, secure parking lot in the vicinity, the buffet breakfast was good.
We asked for a non smoking room, but there was smoke smell in the room... It is not quite a quiet location (dogs, some bass sounds from nearby).
Friendly staff, air=conditioning and fairly quiet location
the breakfast is nota buffet, but imposed by the hotel...
Polite, friendly and flexible staff, quiet room with air conditioning.
Proper fruit juice at breakfast would have been nice.
A stay at Hotel Alfa places you in the heart of Gyor, steps from Pannonia and 12 minutes by foot from Gyor Town Hall. Featured amenities include complimentary newspapers in the lobby, a 24-hour front desk, and multilingual staff. Free self parking is available onsite.

Been before love the views.there was a storm whilst we were there we had spectacular views across the bay
The veiw from the balcony was the best ever the staff were brilliant the hotel was very clean air conditioning in the room was great i would stay at the hotel again no problem its a little gem of a hotel at the end of the beach
Great location. Fab views. Very quiet at night but only 10-15 mins away from bars /nightlife. Been to the Nadal about 5 or 6 times.Never had to bother staff but always someone there if you need something.
No fridge or kettle in room. Would be handy to have but not something that would spoil holiday or stop us from staying in future.
Excellent location right next to the beach...!!!
staff were kind and attentive. great location for a dip in the sea when the temperature gets too hot. Great value for a cheap hotel
The hotel The friendliness of all the staff The location is ideal The cleanliness
I would have liked more fruit in the morning at breakfast,tea and coffee facilities in the room and a fridge would be nice, even if I had to pay a small price for it.
The sea view-fabulous! Location right next to beach Reception staff v good Quiet at night - good sleep every night
Very little choice at breakfast Pool indoors Wi-fi in lobby area only-not in rooms
views from the room, location of the hotel is great away from the hustle and bustle
nothing, it was great
Great location, very clean
The pool had fantastic view but was under cover.
Breakfast was limited & some more English TV channels would be welcome
Two Different set of drink prices from the afternoon and evening
All was perfect! The rooms are big and comfortable, huge beds. The view from the balcony is breathtaking, we stayd in 9th floor. Breakfast was ok, planty of food, but no fresh vegetables and bad kaffe. Location is perfect and close to all you need.
We enjoyed the location, its just by sea and with breath-taking sea view from the balcony. Our room was clean and comfortable as well. We also liked our breakfast, good food, lots of options including traditional English and continental breakfasts.
We dont have any particular dislikes, everything was very good.
good location at end of promenade - pedestrian area, so no traffic or noise at night - still very central - every room has fabulous view over sea with balcony in sun all day long - room was large with loads of storage and big bathroom, cleaned every day
very small terrace area with only twelve sun loungers for forty rooms - no outdoor pool - although hotel is right on beach so most holidaymakers probably go to beach - breakfast passable, not great
All rooms have sea view, excellent location, no children, quiet sunbathing area with indoor pool, beautiful outdoor terrace/bar area
No fridge in room
We have been to Benidorm numerous times and wish we had found this hotel before To sum up the Nadal , incredible position , breakfast basic but what you need to start the day , rooms all have sea views , place very clean , no signs of wear and tear , staff very friendly and helpful and excellent value for money. If we visit benidorm again the Nadal is the first on our list.
Unfortunately and not the hotel staff fault we were next door to a Spanish couple who argued and fought every night from 1am to 5am so not much sleep A reccommendation for management would be to place a BIG notice on arrival that good behaviour in the hotel must be adhered to at ALL times.
Location-near resort centre Lovely views from all rooms Rooms very comfortable Relaxing and fairly quiet Good breakfasts Staff very friendly and helpful
No tea/coffee facilities in room
no kettle or bar in room
Location, sea views.
Too few staff
Everything except, see below.
As most on here say.. A fridge, tea coffee in the room, would be nice. Wifi throughout, not just in the lobby, almost an essential now a days.
Staff friendliness View Location Super clean Despite being on the beach it's still very accessible for prams and wheelchairs
Breakfast was very limited but there are many more restaurants within yards of the hotel serving breakfast for only £2.50. Pool doesn't open till 11am
Location, pool, view, balcany
Lack of sunbeds and ones that was available a little grubby

Carnival Inspiration is a Fantasy-class cruise ship that’s been delighting families with tons of fun in the sun since it was first floated out in 1996, making this cruise ship more than 20 years old. The $270 million ship is 70,367 GT and 855 feet long, with a capacity for 2,610 guest passengers and 920 crew.
The vessel has undergone several dry docks for refurbishments during its lifetime, including in 2007 and 2018. Thanks to the most recent round of refurbishments, passengers aboard Carnival Inspiration can enjoy some of Carnival’s latest branding efforts, amenities, food and dining outlets and entertainment options.
Now, Carnival Inspiration is a “Fun Ship 2.0” vessel among Carnival’s fleet, meaning you won’t even notice the ship’s advanced age, except for when it comes to booking your cabin. The ship does offer fewer cabin categories than what you’ll find on some newer Carnival ships, but you still get your basics covered. And, if you’re a new cruiser, then you likely won’t even notice anything out of the ordinary at all.
Historically, Carnival Inspiration has sailed the western Caribbean, offering short itineraries to families traveling from Tampa to destinations like Grand Cayman and Mexico. For a period following, the ship served the West Coast with Baja Mexico cruises from California.
If you’re thinking of taking a Carnival Inspiration cruise, what can you expect? What should you know about the cruising experience and how can you make the most of your vacation? Here are 11 ways you can enjoy your Carnival Inspiration cruise to the max.
1. Take care picking your stateroom
While you might not plan on relaxing in your stateroom too terribly much during your cruise (after all, you do have an entire ship at your disposal), you still want to make sure the space is one you enjoy and that fits your needs as a traveler.
Interior staterooms include Interior Upper/Lower rooms, Interior rooms and Porthole rooms. The first option maximizes space for those traveling as a pair, but not quite a couple, with two sleeping spaces. In other words, it might be a good option if you’re taking a mother-daughter cruise or a cruise with your best friend.
While the Interior Upper/Lower rooms only fit two cruisers, the Interior rooms can sleep up to five cruisers, with plenty of space for everyone. You can even book connecting Interior room, if you’re planning a multigenerational getaway, or you just have a big family.
Porthole rooms sleep two guests in one bed, comfortably, and they’re a nice pick if you want a view and some natural lighting.
Ocean View rooms expand that porthole experience even further, with bigger and better views and more space overall — with room to sleep up to five cruisers.
Lastly, suites come in two varieties, junior and grand suites. Suite cruisers are treated like VIPs from the time they arrive at port until the moment they depart to go home. They enjoy huge, expansive stateroom spaces, with living areas in addition to the sleeping areas, lots of storage and great views. Balconies are featured on suites and give you a fantastic place to relax and enjoy a little fresh air while you watch the world float by.
2. Do pick a Deck 7 stateroom if you want to be as close as possible to all the action
If you really want to be as close as possible to all the action — all the fun, games, nightlife, entertainment, dining, drinks and more — then try to get a stateroom on Deck 7. Most of the ship’s public spaces are on the higher decks, and Deck 7 is one of the decks where you can book a stateroom that’s not a suite, but that’s still pretty close to all the action. (If you are considering upgrading to a suite, though, and want to be as close to the fun as possible, look at Deck 11, where the suites are just a hop, skip and jump from the pool.)
Deck 7 allows you to have a bit of privacy away from the ship’s major hubbub, but you’re still just one deck below the main action and you have several public spaces on your deck as well, including the ship’s internet cafe, Grand Atrium and art gallery.
3. Bring along the entire family
If there’s one thing that Carnival does well, it caters to families. Family travelers deal with a host of issues that other types of travelers do not, including a limited budget for often a large number of people, a range of interests and likes/dislikes, a range of ages and attention spans and more. Carnival gives everyone in the family something to love and enjoy, providing parents and kids with tailor-made amenities that are sure to thrill.
Plus, it all typically comes at a pretty affordable price when compared to other family vacation options and Carnival Inspiration specifically has historically offered many short sailings that are desirable to those parents who can’t get away from work or their “real life” responsibilities for a long period of time. So, if you’re considering a Carnival Inspiration cruise, don’t leave the kids at home. Bring them along, and maybe even bring grandma and grandpa, too!
4. Try as much as possible
Carnival Inspiration is a small floating city, a getaway paradise at sea. There’s a lot to do! So, even if you find a spot you really love aboard the ship, like a great bar or awesome restaurant, don’t just continue going back to that same watering hole or eatery over and over again. Make sure you try out everything that Carnival Inspiration offers. Then, save your repeat visits for your next cruise.
5. Tap into your competitive side
You might think you’re the quiet and reserved type, but step aboard Carnival Inspiration and you’ll soon find that (perhaps with a little liquid courage) you’ve broken out of your shell. Carnival Inspiration inspires travelers to get active, be social and have a little fun — especially when there’s some friendly competition involved.
So, tap into your competitive side and let your hair down a bit while aboard Carnival Inspiration, whether you’re taking on your fellow cruisers in a round of Hasbro, The Game Show, or just taking on your kids in a friendly game of basketball, or even showing off your pipes at karaoke night.
6. Indulge in a drink or two
With Carnival Inspiration’s many upgrades it’s received in the last few years, there are many new bars and watering holes open to cruisers looking to have a great time. Make sure you try all the best brews, cocktails and wines during your trip.
Enjoy live music and some tropical concoctions at RedFrog Rum Bar. See what kind of impressive cocktails the pros come up with at Alchemy Bar. Try some of the tequila at BlueIguana. The options are endless.
7. Plan some family time into your itinerary
We already mentioned that Carnival is a great choice for families looking to cruise. If you’ve brought your family along for your Carnival Inspiration trip (and we hope you did!), then make sure you plan plenty of time to make memories with everyone in the fam. There are loads of family-friendly entertainment options that make picking an activity everyone will enjoy easy.
Younger kids will love the Seuss at Sea experience, which includes parades, visits from beloved Seuss characters and even a Seuss-themed breakfast, as well as the Build-A-Bear Workshop at Sea, where they can put together a unique souvenir. Older kids with a taste for thrills will enjoy forcing mom and dad down the ship’s stomach-dropping water slides.
8. Plan a little time for yourself, too
Of course, while family time is the best, you need some time for yourself, too. Carnival Inspiration offers private time to busy adults in the form of the Serenity Adults-Only Retreat. There, anyone under the age of 18 is not allowed, so you’re assured a quiet, peaceful atmosphere away from the typical cruise hubbub.
Find a lounger, kick back with your favorite (adult) person and enjoy a drink or two. You’ll leave Serenity feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, and ready to get back to playing with the kids following some one-on-one time with your spouse or the other adults in your traveling crew.
9. Leave the diet at home
While Carnival Inspiration does offer some healthy dining options, this is no trip to watch your waistline. There’s so much yummy, delicious, hard-to-resist dining aboard Carnival Inspiration!
Guy’s Burger Joint is one of the newest eateries aboard Carnival’s Fun Ship 2.0 fleet, and it offers some scrumptious burgers topped with anything you could ever want, all with flavors designed by celebrity chef Guy Fieri. The BlueIguana Cantina not only serves up Caribbean-inspired drinks, but also Mexican street food with flair.
The main Dining Room is a popular option for many reasons, but most likely because it’s always a safe bet; you get three great courses in a nice, upscale atmosphere. The Lido Marketplace is a casual dining hub with just about any eats you could crave. Pizza Pirate serves slices, 24-7-365. You’ll also find little snacks here and there throughout the ship, whether you happen to stop by the coffee bar or you run into Swirls for a quick ice cream cone or frozen yogurt.
10. Try some entertainment outside your comfort zone
There’s absolutely no shortage of entertainment when you’re aboard Carnival Inspiration, so while you might have a preference for certain types of entertainment, make sure that you try something outside of your normal realm of experience as well. You never know when you might discover a new favorite! For example, if you normally prefer movies to music, why not try a musical theater show from Playlist Productions?
If you’re a live performance and skit comedy fan, head over to the Punchliner Comedy Club and see what they’re serving up. If you like concerts and live music, take your music listening experience to the next level and visit the DJ at the mega deck party. Whatever you decide to do, not having fun is never an option.
11. Let the Carnival team do what they do best
If you’re planning your first cruise, don’t sweat the small stuff (or the big stuff!). If you’re planning to cruise with Carnival, then you’re already in good hands. The Carnival team on any of the brand’s ships is thoroughly equipped to help you navigate your first cruising experience with ease, to spectacular results.
Whether you’re worried about having WiFi during your cruise, to check some important work emails, or you’re worried the restaurants on board won’t be able to cater to your strict dietary needs, they can help. There’s no request that’s too big or too trivial for the Carnival team to not assist you, resulting in your best cruising experience yet.

Friday’s late-night mask mandate following President Biden’s executive order extends to Part 135 private jet charter flights, including jet cards, FBOs, and begins at midnight tonight
(Updated) NetJets says the mask mandate doesn’t apply to its flights
Friday’s late-night mask mandate by the CDC following President Joe Biden’s executive order requiring masks to be worn in airports and on commercial airline flights extends to Part 135 charter operations and FBOs, according to a notice sent by the National Air Transportation Association.
Private Jet Card Comparisons reported on the possibility last week after the executive order. The order comes just days in advance of the Super Bowl, typically one of the busiest weekends for private jet flights
The CEO of the National Business Aviation Association says a post-COVID business travel recovery, new customers and increased availability of sustainable aviation fuel offers a positive outlook for private aviation
Crediting the CARES Act for “helping companies survive and general aviation airports to have operating money,” National Business Aviation Association CEO Ed Bolen last week told the Asset Insight podcast business aviation is well-positioned.
Passengers arriving in the U.S. by private jet after Jan. 26, 2021, will need to have COVID-19 testing documentation
Private jet travelers should pay attention to charter and jet card cancelation terms for international flights
Effective January 26, 2021, there are new COVID-19 related requirements for all air passengers arriving to the U.S. from a foreign country.
Private jet users can visit Singapore for up to 14 days although they will be limited to a bubble located at Changi International Airport
Private aviation users will be able to visit Singapore from the second half of January according to multiple news reports.

Brilliant location, helpful staff, excellent speedy lifts, very clean room, hot powerful shower, lovely friendly reception/Concierge.
Room a little gloomy and the bed rolled away when leaning on the bed head reading.
Location Good price for central London
The hotel was truly amazing and the staff very polite and helpful.
Poor service at breakfast, water roasting in the showers, draughty window in bedroom, staff couldn't care!!
Stayed here for a night with my husband whilst visiting Winter Wonderland. The hotel was close enough to everything we needed. Would stay again, we were both very happy.
The short distance to the main shopping area and to the trains.
Near to underground. Central .
The shower was tricky. No minibar. I could hear everything from the other rooms next to mine. Small room for economic double room.
The location was great
The room was tiny
Very friendly staff, great location, good breakfast.
Windows could be better sound proofed, plus slight draught..
Located close to Tube station. Breakfast was good quality food. Concierge were very helpful.
TV did not work in Room , asked twice for it to be fixed but wasnt. Room was freezing as windows had gaps. Very noisy , lost sleep due to gaps in windows. Breakfast service was appauling , ran out of white bread at 9:30. No cutlery , condiments etc.
The first room we were checked into smelt like an ashtray; despite it being a no smoking room. We did change rooms with no question.
my double room was about 15ft by 10ft with a double bed pushed up to wall so you have to climb over you partner to get in bed !!! the shower cubicle was so small you couldn't close the door when in shower ,one of the worst hotel rooms I have stayed in .
Location is good
Last year when i comment about this hotel i have written old, now this year it is older than last year.
Tatty sofa in room. Some new furniture needed.
Every thing was excellent. All the staff where very friendly and extremely helpful. Our room was perfect and the bed was amazing, best night sleep I've had in a long time.
The shower was terrible. Everything was perfect, so to have a cruddy shower was annoying. It was to low for my height, it wasn't really that hot and it lacked some power.
Location, front office staff were very efficient. It was clean, beds were good. Fine for an overnight stay. Accommodation was only 2 star level
Room was a tiny box, shower had no pressure, toilet wouldn't flush properly, the service at breakfast was appalling, good job the food was nice.
location near metro station Very effective maintenance: bed was broken first night, they immediately sent somebody to repair; same for the safe which didn't function, somebody came quickly to change it. Very resourceful concierge, very kind and helpful.
size of the room, they first gave us a mini room with the bed against the wall (one of us had to jump over the other to get up),; we asked to change for a slightly bigger room, at least with the bed in the middle, but almost without day light. Mini-bathroom, you could almost not move in it. Breakfast room in the underlevel like a cafeteria , very noisy, not very welcoming; buffet simple, fruit salad only with apples and oranges.Could be a little more . Service very slow at the bar at lunch.
Good location, helpful concierge
Staff at the reception couldn't speak English properly and some rude staff at the restaurant
heating/air con - system - poorly regulated blocked sink door that would not fully open no beaker in bathroom
Excellent high tea and breakfast.
A throw on one of the beds was dirty with something that looked like blood. Not nice!!!
The pub next door! Food and drink were much better and cheaper, and the staff actually knew what they were doing!
Food (everything we ordered was totally wrong, cold, late and expensive). Staff didn't know what they were doing, many couldn't understand English. Rooms were very small (I think they put two of us in a single). Don't think we'll be going back.
We really liked the central location which was convenient for rail travel to/from Paddington station. They also found convenient parking at the rear of the hotel for some of our party. The hotel rooms were clean and reception staff were friendly and helpful, quickly resolving a faulty shower issue.
Although the deal was good VFM, the rooms were very small, and the bathrooms particularly cramped. The room was very warm and the aircon made little impact. The windows hardly opened so were of little help. If we came here again, we would probably upgrade to a bigger room but it was okay for a night or two.
Breakfast was very poor for £18.95 per head and had to wait for plates and food to be replenished. Was completley put off when I found a rather large hair in my eggs. Rooms rather small and basic and very hot ! Air con did not work
The room was good enough with a large and comfortable bed. The ftted carpet had seen it's best days though and was stained and felt dirty. The staff where kind and helpful. Overall a good hotell - though expensive (but London aint cheap to live in).
The fitted carpet had seen it's best days though and was stained and felt dirty. The bath tub could well be replaced with a shower. A bit on the expensive side - didn't include breakfast which also was an expenive detail.
Great location for underground and train station,situated in a really lovely area.
We like fresh air in our room,but it was rather a mission to get the window opened.

Fortunately for us, we stumbled upon this little gem called Maple Lodge for our lodging needs. This quaint resort was nestled in the White Mountains. The resort owner was a nice, thirty-something year old woman who had inherited the resort from her family. She and her husband ran the resort. Both individuals kept this resort well maintained. The cabins were extremely clean and the outside pool was well kept. In addition, the couple was always asking us if there was anything else we needed for our stay.
Our cabin was a rustic-looking accommodation. My partner and I both like that look, so we relished our surroundings. The cabin had an open floor plan. As soon as you entered it, the living space had two double beds on one wall and a fireplace on the other. And then the bathroom was located in another room but on the same floor plan. Our favorite part of the cabin was the fireplace. We even got to use it because of a chilly fall setting in that September. Besides keeping us warm, the fireplace provided us a way to toast our marshmallows. Hence, our stay there was a great way to unwind/relax and rejoice all our prior sights, attractions, and activities we had already enjoyed earlier that day.
This cozy resort does not have all the modern amenities (such as a microwave or a refrigerator), but it does have a refreshing charm to it. It is just a little slice of heaven secluded in a mountain terrain at a budget price ($65 per night for three people). In addition, it is in the same area as Clark’s Trading Post which means that it is in a convenient location for family entertainment (Clark’s have trained bears, museum, steam locomotives, gift shop, food, etc.).

It’s the iconic Spanish car, the nippy little SEAT Ibiza, and the first one went on sale 30 years ago today. The first ever Ibiza cost a whopping 825,000 pesetas, or about €15.620 in 2014 prices. Surprisingly enough, almost double what the basic version costs today. Not really cheap. It was pretty atrocious, too. Design faults and dodgy suspension, made up for only by the fact that the engine blazed out power and was relatively Continue reading Seat Ibiza is 30 today!

I really wanted to love it, it has other good reviews online, and for the price, seemed like a fantastic deal. The location is wonderful, tucked into a quiet neighbourhood with the beach across the street and a pool onsite. But a couple of things really would have made a huge difference overall, and taken this from a 3 star rating to a 5.
1) having a coffee maker in the room. I'm usually up by 6:00 - 6:30 at the latest, and to wait around until 7 am was frustrating. + it just feels like such a basic thing these days, even the cheapest of motels offers a coffee maker.
2) the pool is unheated. It's large and very enticing for sure, but man it was cold - and we were there in July, so imagine how cold it is in September, or May. Not very appealing.
3) still on the pool - it opened at 9 am each day, which if you have children, is not great. 8 am would be better, or even 8:30 - but by 9, we'd already trekked over to the beach out of boredom. And to hear the lady at the front desk complain about how the kids are always driving her crazy asking her to open the pool was frustrating. It was never opened at 9 - they seemed to always run 5- 10 minutes late opening the gate, so yes, the kids are chomping at the bit by 9 to go for a swim, as most have been up for an our and a half or more at that point. Just open it on time... Please.
It just didn't feel like the most child friendly place.

Today (March 21, 2016): Top 10: luxury hotels that disappointed me.
My luxury travel blog is all about inspiring you, and recommending the best places to stay around the globe. However, from time to time, a holiday at a luxury hotel can turn into a disappointing event, whether it be because of a service problem, a poor decor, bad food, or exorbitant prices that are not in line with the experience offered. Indeed, there is no excuse for a hotel that costs more than – let’s say – 500 USD per night to be anything other than brilliant, especially when that hotel belongs to the portfolio of one of the world’s most luxurious hotel brands. I hereby share with you my 10 most disappointing hotel experiences at famous luxury hotels that did not live up to their reputation and that I wished I had not given my money to.
There is more information below the slideshow. Did you ever stay at a luxury hotel that disappointed you? Leave it in the comments below.
Sunset Key Cottages, a Luxury Collection Resort, enjoys a spectacular location on gorgeous Sunset Key, a secluded 27-acre island seven minutes by launch from Key West, the gateway to the Islands of Caribbean. It’s one of Florida’s most expensive and exclusive hotels. The private island setting of the resort is terrific indeed, and the on-site restaurant offers mouth-watering dishes, but apart from that, the resort has a very mediocre decor that is more reminiscent of a motel than an exclusive enclave, and above all, during my stay, there was an absolute lack of service. For example, upon arrival at the island (with the resort’s private boat), there were no staff members present to welcome guests and I was confused about where to go for check-in. At the beach, service was non-existing for the two consecutive days that I was there. At a given point, I wanted to order lunch, and finally after one hour a waiter appeared but he told me that he had just finished his duty and could not take orders anymore. The worst part was that for the two days I was there, the room was not cleaned and the beds were never made up (despite multiple calls to the housekeeping staff). Totally unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber, but apologies were never offered, not even at check-out. If you are holidaying in the Florida Keys, your best choice is Little Palm Island, which I liked a lot and did not regret spending my money on.

Amanruya is an über-luxurious resort located in a picturesque bay of the Bodrum Peninsula. Named after the Sanskrit word for peace, ‘aman’, and the Turkish word for dream, Amanruya belongs to the portfolio of Aman, the world’s most exclusive hotel brand. It’s probably the only Aman resort that I did not like that much because of its suboptimal and somewhat puzzling location. The resort is set on a hill with pine trees and foliage sprouting up everywhere, blocking the view of the Mediterranean Sea and making you feel disconnected from the maritime environment. It is a mystery to me why the resort was not built closer to the sea since there is plenty of space along the shore that is not used. In addition, because of its hillside location and orientation towards the east, the resort is in the shade several hours before sunset; it does not have a real beach (although it promotes to have one); and from time to time, wasps can be a real problem and ruin the outdoor experience. Usually, Aman Resorts occupy the very best spot in the area where they are built, but that’s not the case in Bodrum, where Amanruya’s location is inferior to that of its high-end competitors Mandarin Oriental Bodrum and Jumeirah Palace Bodrum.
Longitude 131° is one of Australia’s most unusual lodges. It is located in the spirited heart and red centre of the country, commanding spectacular views of the outback icon Uluru and World Heritage listed wilderness of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. However, the lodge has one major problem: it is exuberantly overpriced for what you get. The management takes advantage of the lure of Uluru and the lack of luxury competitors in the area to charge insane rates. If Uluru is on your bucket list – and frankly, it should be – then “bite the bullet” and pay the price but be aware that you are not getting 1000 AUD per night per person (!!) worth of value. Things that I did not like: excursions are done in group, the tented pavilions are fine (but not luxurious), the tiny pool is uninviting, and the main restaurant serves delicious food but feels soulless. The good news is that the lodge is set to be renovated, with upgrading the pool and adding balconies to tents.
Near landmark museums, the Opéra Garner, and the famous shops and dining of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, W Paris Opéra bills itself as one of the best hotels in the French capital, amplifying the colorful culture of Paris with its dynamic spark. And while there are several good things to be said about the hotel (such as the super central location, the great staff, and the young vibe), there’s no denying that hotel has one major shortcoming: the hotel spaces are very cramped, and even feel claustrophobic. The lobby has the ambiance of a closet, the gym area is too small, and the supertiny rooms seem designed for hobbits. Because of my SPG status, I was upgraded to a so-called “spectacular room” during my stay, which was still very tiny so I cannot imagine how small the lower category rooms must be. In addition, I was there during a rare Parisian heat wave and the air conditioning did not work nor was it fixed during my stay, despite me contacting the staff multiple times (which made the whole experience quite miserable). Despite being a very loyal SPG customer, I will not return to the W Paris Opéra anytime soon.

San Clemente Palace Venice is one of Venice’s most famous hotels. The retreat sits on its own private island in the heart of the Venice lagoon, just minutes away from Piazza San Marco by one of the hotels iconic complimentary boats. The upscale hotel offers 6 hectares of majestic gardens, a private 15th century church ideal for celebrations, and 189 spacious suites and rooms. But no matter how beautiful the hotel is from the outside, its interiors are a huge disappointment (even downright creepy). The hotel buildings are massive, with a complex labyrinth of very long, intimidating hallways that could easily feature as the background of a horror movie (especially at night). The place does not feel intimate nor inviting, and rather intimidates its guests. In addition, room furniture is very old-fashioned and far from classy. Last year, the hotel shifted management in just a few months time, which is never a good sign: it was a St Regis hotel for a couple of months, before it was taken over by Kempinski. I visited the place when the hotel was still managed by St Regis, and frankly, the hotel was a shame to the brand because the interiors and design of San Clemente Palace are not in line with the ultraluxurious character of St Regis’ other properties (so it does not surprise me that they dumped it a few months after the opening). I can only hope that Kempinksi will hire a design team and refurbish the rooms to turn this place into an amazing 5-star hotel (as it has the potential to be one).

One&Only Le Saint Géran basks on the golden peninsula of Belle Mare on Mauritius’ northeast coast, surrounded by 60 acres of tropical gardens and thousands of swaying coconut trees. The location is quite stunning and the terraced and balconied rooms all face out privately to the blue waters of the Indian Ocean. The famous hotel, which opened in 1975, has a reputation for being one of the pioneers of luxury travel in the Indian Ocean and has long been the jewel in Mauritius’ crown. However, while its design was cutting edge in the last century, the resort’s room and communal areas are now in desperate need of facelift, especially since the resort continues charging its guests the island’s most expensive room rates based on its outdated reputation. Although the One&Only Le saint Geran used to be the Grand Dame of Mauritius, there are now far better and more luxurious accommodations to be found on the island of Mauritius, such as the St Regis Mauritius and the Four Seasons Resort at Anahita. Unfortunately, IMHO, this One&Only resort in no way measure up to all the other brilliant One&Only resorts, and I can only hope that the One&Only Hotel Group will soon start a refurbishment of this otherwise excellent resort.

Park Hyatt Shanghai is a sophisticated, 5-star luxury hotel located in the heart of Shanghai’s Pudong business district. Occupying floors 79 to 93 of the Shanghai World Financial Center, it is the world’s second highest hotel (behind the The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong). Soaring above this Chinese metropolis, guests can take in sweeping views of the city skyline and Huangpu River from any of the 174 luxury rooms & suites. Unfortunately, I fell sick during my stay (influenza-like symptoms). Nothing too bad but very inconvenient nonetheless. While this was not the fault of the hotel of course, their ‘attitude’ during the last day of my stay disappointed me. Check-out time was noon, but my flight departed only in the evening at 11 pm. All I wanted to do was sleep and rest while waiting for my longhaul flight back home, so I requested a late check-out. I was denied this possibility (unless I booked a new night), despite the fact that the receptionist could observe that I was not faking my symptoms and that the occupancy rate that day was only 65% (which I later learned from the hotel staff). So, I went to the pool, and had some sleep on the loungers there for the remainder of the day (which was quite embarrassing). I understand that hotels cannot always offer late check-outs because of organisational reasons or because their occupancy rate does not allow them to do so, but in this case, I think they should have done it, simply because the room was available anyhow and because I was feeling very sick. But the staff made no effort to understand my needs and the hotel’s poor customer service left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Tucked away in a quiet side street, Mandarin Oriental Munich offers an enticing mix of Oriental style, German charm and internationally renowned service. Bust despite being Munich’s most luxurious property, I was confronted with a double disappointment during my stay. Initially, I had booked a stay in September 2014, but when I was on my way to the airport to catch my flight to Munich, I was contacted over the phone by the hotel’s management to inform me that the hotel was overbooked, and that I could not be accommodated at the hotel that night. They offered me an alternate hotel, which I declined (since the whole purpose of my trip to Munich was to stay at the Mandarin Oriental), after which they refunded my (prepaid) hotel stay and offered me a 2 night voucher for a future trip. A few months later, I decided to give the hotel a second chance (using my voucher) but this time the luxury experience was ruined by the fact that the hotel was undergoing a major renovation: the grand lobby, restaurants and rooftop were all closed, while they moved the reception and breakfast area to a couple of joined guestrooms. I was clueless as to why I was not informed about this when I made the booking, sine the hotel staff was well aware at that time of the upcoming renovation works. It takes many good impressions to undo a bad first impression, but unfortunately, the hotel did not succeed to turn around my initial disappointing experience with them, despite the fact that I am (still) a huge fan and supporter of the Mandarin Oriental brand. IMHO, during a renovation of this magnitude in a property of a world-known luxury hotel brand, it would be more appropriate to close the hotel or substantially lower the room rates. Having said that, last autumn, the renovations of the hotel were completed and guests are now able to experience the newly designed lobby, bar as well as the brand new Matsuhisa Munich restaurant by renowned Chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa.

Rockwater Secret Cove Resort on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast is one of the region’s most unique lodges. Nestled in the rainforest above a gorgeous cove, the lodge has several luxurious (and very expensive) tenthouse suites, some of them coming with an open view of the Pacific Ocean. These are perfect for a romantic getaway, one would think, however, that was not the case during my stay when a wedding party was held at the lodge. The guests of the nearby tenthouse were continuing the party on their terrace after midnight, which made me wake up of course. Not the fault of the hotel (rather the fault of the rude guests), but the hotel should have interrupted this unacceptable behavior immediately. However, despite multiple calls to the lobby – in which the concierge assured us that they would send someone over to stop the guest’s behavior – the party was still going on more than two hours later. A luxury lodge in this kind of spectacular natural setting should have a zero policy when it comes to noise disturbance after 10 pm since the guests stay here to relax and enjoy the silence. It bothered me that the hotel never sent someone over to the partying guests as they pretended they would do (they only phoned twice, as I could hear that very well). It bothered me even more that when making the booking, the staff assured me that I would spend a very quiet time at the lodge since no event was taking place (as a matter of fact, several Tripadvisor reviews complained about excessive noise from wedding parties at the lodge, hence why informed upfront whether a party was planned at the lodge during my dates of visit). At check-out, I was offered a 50% reduction of the room rate, which was a nice gesture but did not undo the bad experience.

The $3.5 billion casino resort Baha Mar in the Bahamas, the largest hospitality project ever in the Caribbean, was supposed to revivify the economy of the island nation, and to include the 1,000-room Baha Mar Casino & Hotel, the 707-room Grand Hyatt at Baha Mar, the 300-room SLS Lux at Baha Mar and the 200-room ultra luxe Rosewood at Baha Mar. Instead, Baha Mar missed all of its scheduled opening dates last year and is now embroiled in a bankruptcy battle because of a standoff between the resort and its Chinese construction company. As a consequence, many travel plans were interrupted, including my own since I had booked a stay at the Rosewood a few months after the resort was supposed to open. Although I was informed in time about the fact that the hotel was not going to be able honor my reservation, the communication with the resort afterwards was abominable. I was advised to postpone my stay but by the time I tried to schedule my new stay (a few weeks later), the email and phone numbers of the resort had disappeared and it took Rosewood more than 4 months to properly address the issues I encountered (again, not something you would expect from one of the world’s most exclusive hotel brands). However, my experience pales in comparison to the story of a bride and groom who were scheduled to have their wedding at Baha Mar last June and were unable to get a refund for the wedding party as well as for the travel expenses for their 100 guests.

Great, clean hotel with excellent service. Would like some more in-room entertainment to help pass the time in the evenings for business travel. Hollywood movies would be nice. A little expensive compared to others but very clean.
