]]>Covered with mosaic floors, private lakes, and waterfalls, this glamorous hotel is a foodie’s paradise, offering an array of world-class restaurants such as Mexican-style Casa Playa, Italian eatery Cipriani, and vintage-style Delilah. What’s more, Wynn Las Vegas is the only hotel in Las Vegas with a full golf course.
While the MGM Grand is one of the most famous hotels on the Las Vegas Strip, the 51 duplex penthouses known as the Skylofts take the definition of luxury to another level. In addition to steam showers, a laundry service, pool tables, and jacuzzis, guests will also receive the services of a 24-hour personal concierge.
If you’re looking for non-stop entertainment, then the Bellagio Las Vegas is the hotel for you. From its massive pool to its world-class theatre and in-house casino, you’ll have access to all the entertainment you could possibly desire without leaving the hotel.

]]>When reserving a hotel room, you may come across two terms: “ocean-view” and “oceanfront”. They may sound the same, but they aren’t. The first means that you will get a view of the water—even if it is just a tiny sliver. The latter, however, means your room is facing the ocean head-on.
Nothing good comes for free. Taking a look at the price is a good indicator of just how good your view will be. Ocean-view rooms will cost more than standard rooms, while oceanfront rooms are expected to cost even more than that.
No one knows the layout of the hotel best than the people working at the front desk. Phone the establishment and ask the concierge which rooms have the best view (and their prices). You may even score a special deal if you’re lucky!

]]>The trick of good photography is that it can make places like hotel rooms look far bigger than they really are. Cue the disappointment when you finally check in and discover your room is barely large enough to swing a cat in.
If that is the case, there are a few things you can do.
One option is to politely ask the staff at reception whether there are any free upgrades. Something like this will eventually depend on how full the hotel is. The worst they can say is no.
Another option—which is much likelier to work—is to request a corner room.
Based on the way that most hotels are built, corner rooms are slightly bigger than average rooms. However, they are not big enough that they would be considered suites and cost you a small fortune. Sounds like a win to us!
So, next time you’re on vacation, keep to the corners.

]]>As seasoned travelers know, not every country has safe drinking water. Even those that do sometimes have excess amounts of calcium which can affect the taste of the H20 coming out of the tap. Therefore, use bottled water when making coffee in your hotel room. Mineral water with a higher ratio of magnesium to calcium will also improve the texture and sweetness of the coffee.
Many baking recipes call for a sprinkle of salt as the ingredient actually brings out the sweetness. Add a touch of salt to the ground coffee before brewing to take away some of the acidity. If it doesn’t work, add some brown sugar before drinking.
If all else fails, attempt to disguise the coffee while reaping the benefits of the caffeine. Make yourself a virgin coffee cocktail using some fruit juice and tonic water.

]]>Fittingly, the place is called Giraffe Manor, and it’s a boutique 5-star hotel located in Nairobi, Kenya. The house itself was built in the 1930s and the property became a hub for conservation work in the 1970s. It was purchased by a local couple in 2009 and has since taken off as a bucket list destination for travelers around the world.
Today, the manor functions as an all-inclusive, luxury hotel where 29 guests can relax in the spa, take a stroll through the garden, or enjoy a meal in the cafe. Sightseeing drives are available for those who wish to see more of the property, though those who prefer to stay inside won’t exactly be missing out.
The giraffes are known to poke their heads into the manor through the windows throughout the day!

]]>For most tourists, location is the most important thing when booking a hotel, yet sometimes we forget to check this information. Make sure to locate the hotel on Google Maps and check if it’s close to the tourist spots that you want to visit because this will save you a lot of time and money on your trip.
Most tourists forget to check online reviews before booking a hotel, which is a huge mistake if you truly want to find the best accommodation. It’s important to read other people’s experiences, because if most of them are complaining about the same thing, such as location or noise, then you’ll know what to expect from this hotel.
Another thing you shouldn’t forget to check before the trip is the list of amenities that are provided by the hotel, such as free Wi-Fi, parking, toiletries, mini fridge, and more. This simple step can save you a lot of money, time, and space in the suitcase.

]]>The minibar is the kryptonite of hotel guests because you’ll end up spending a fortune every time you take something from it. The items inside it may be tempting, but you can find all of them at a local supermarket and they’ll cost you at least half the price if you buy them this way.
Doing laundry at the hotel may seem like a good idea at first, but it often comes with a high price tag. If you feel like it’s not worth the trouble because you don’t want to wash a lot of clothes, doing laundry on your own is always an option. Local laundromats may also be a lot cheaper.
Buffet breakfast is one of the best things about hotels, but it’s not always worth paying extra. Instead of eating the same thing every day, discover some local places with affordable prices where you can have a tasty and filling breakfast.

]]>The Marriage Restoration Project offers a five day stay at the El Mangroove Resort in Costa Rica. The program involves educational workshops, spa treatments, exercises, and meditation sessions. The retreat’s work relies on the principles of Imago Relationship Therapy, which is a form of therapy that focuses on relational counseling.
“We have found over the years that couples need more than just weekly therapy sessions,” founder Shlomo Slatkin says. “Whether a couple is having a stale marriage in need of a jump start or is in crisis and at a crossroads, a serious intervention is necessary to provide real clarity. We have found that a couples retreat is just the right vehicle to accomplish that.”

]]>As we said, the hotel may feel like your home, but it isn’t the situation. Don’t go down to the lobby or breakfast wearing your bathrobe or pajamas, and don’t leave your room barefoot.
It’s okay to grab an extra fruit from the complimentary buffet, but many hospitality workers point out that some guests stock up on enough food to last them the whole day, which isn’t acceptable.
Always be mindful of the fact the hotel is a shared space, and try to make your comings and goings as calm and quiet as possible, for the sake of the other guests. Try to avoid talking loudly in the hallways and slamming doors, especially if you’re leaving for an early flight.
Late check-out should always be arranged in advance, and at times it just won’t be possible. Never assume it’s an option without asking as that is considered highly inconsiderate. The same goes for arriving hours early and expecting your room to be ready.
