We have been to the St. Regis Bahia Beach, Puerto Rico several times. This year we went over the holidays again. We had a great week there. Here are some additional reviews of this property. In this post, I want to highlight a few things that I haven’t reviewed before and what was different this time around. St. Regis Bahia Beach…
In August 2015 the Sheraton Gateway LAX started a massive renovation. I needed a quick night in LAX, and decided to stay at the Sheraton Gateway to see how it turned out. As I arrived, it looked like the same old – same old from the outside.

Puntacanna Village is a residential and shopping development right around the corner from the Punta Cana International Airport, and it includes the 122 room Four Points by Shearton Puntacana Village which opened in the winter of 2012.

I had a last-minute opportunity last week attend a quick sales meeting in Aruba, so I packed my bags, booked a room at the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino and hopped on a Southwest Airlines non-stop flight from BWI to AUA. Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino The Renaissance is right in the heart of Oranjestead…
I was recently at the Hyatt for a weekend and when I received my Diamond welcome amenity of 2 beers and cheese plate, I started thinking about the most clutch hotel amenities.

I’ll be the first to admit it’s hard to make up your mind which Hyatt is the best. There are so many good Hyatt properties and so many that do breakfast well in their own way. For example, the formal Breakfast At The Palacio Duhau Park Hyatt Buenos Aires is almost an event. There is no more…
On a recent return trip to the Andaz 5th Avenue, I had the opportunity to experience a suite I haven’t stayed in before. In the past, the Splash Suite At The Hyatt Andaz 5th Avenue In New York City and the Andaz Suite At The Hyatt Andaz 5th Ave New York have provided more than enough space. So I…
There are many places to eat on Paradise Island or on the main island of Nassau in the Bahamas, but none come with quite the storied history, let alone wine cellar of the Graycliff Mansion. So we couldn’t resist when one of the members of our party had the bright idea of dinning in the…
There is a renewed interest in the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa in Bonita Springs due to the recent category downgrade with Hyatt’s reward chart. Previously I mentioned this is one of Hyatt’s best kept secrets, so I was surprised and yet at the same time excited to see it downgraded. New Award Chart Changes…
The Cabana Bay Beach Resort At Universal Studios Orlando opened in the Spring of 2014. It was meant to attract families and be a more moderately priced hotel at the Universal Studio’s complex of hotels, restaurants/marketplaces, and theme parks.

After an 8 hour flight from Washington Dulles to Frankfurt, plus a four-hour layover and then a 6 hour flight from Frankfurt to Abu Dhabi – finally landing at 8:50pm – we decided we would pick up our rental car and head over to the Aloft Abu Dhabi for a quick stop-over after our 18…
The Delano Las Vegas is a boutique hotel at the busy Mandalay Bay casino. It’s connected to the same Casino but it couldn’t be farther from the noise and hustle.

About 9 years ago I posted this on Flyertalk thread, and this other Travel Buzz thread hoping for a little help with a big event in my life…and boy did I receive some help…more than I could have ever hoped for. Proposal Location in San Francisco Hello, I am new to this forum, however feel…
Have you ever checked into a hotel and it reminded you of a dorm in college? I have. During our ultimate golf trip to Scotland, we decided to stay at the Edinburgh Hilton Airport hotel on our last night. Since our flights departed around 7 and 7:30 am, it made sense. We took a taxi…
On a recent trip to Las Vegas, we decided to try out the Caesar’s Palace on the strip. We decided on this hotel not because it was the largest suite on the strip, we’d tried that out at the Palazzo. Nor did we chose it because it was our favorite property on the strip, that…
