Sunshine at the St. Regis Punta Mita

After my four night stay at the Four Seasons Punta Mita, I took a short taxi ride to the St. Regis Punta Mita to round out my week long vacation. The view upon arrival is a wow. I stayed three nights in a Deluxe Guest Room – Ocean View. The room felt fresh and bright, and I loved having an outdoor shower and a walk-in closet. Two hotel features that can make or break a room for me while on a beach vacation. The St. Regis Punta Mita is a great resort for couples or trips with

Respite at the Four Seasons Punta Mita

While I love the white sand beaches and blue water of the Caribbean side of Mexico, I had forgotten about the joy of watching the sun set over the ocean. What a treat! The Four Seasons is located about 45 minutes or so from the Puerto Vallarta airport. Transfers are easy and we are happy to arrange them for you either through the hotel concierge, or one of our other service providers. I stayed for four nights in a Casita Room – Ocean View. My room was spacious and I enjoyed b

Italy in October: Lake Como, Milan, Tuscany, and Florence

Grand Hotel Tremezzo – Lake Como When Italy calls, it’s a good idea to answer. I was thrilled to have been invited to go to Italy on a trip with IDI and Virtuoso for eight nights in October. I stayed in four different hotels, and did site inspections at an additional six hotels. The trip started in Lake Como with a two night stay at Villa d’Este. It has a great location on the lake for sightseeing, and is perfect for lazing away an afternoon while soaking in the views with a

Getaway to Guanacaste, Costa Rica

I chose to visit the three major resorts in Guanacaste: The Four Seasons, The Andaz, and El Mangroove. I selected these resorts because our clients receive exclusive VIP perks and complimentary amenities at all of them. I landed in Liberia (LIR) after dark and was quickly whisked away by a representative from the Four Seasons to a fully loaded SUV for the forty minute drive to the resort. Upon arrival I was given a small coconut welcome drink and taken to my room. I awoke to

Rosé and Rafts in Antigua at Curtain Bluff

Curtain Bluff Resort I was standing on a corner in Guanajuato, Mexico looking at my phone while waiting to cross the street, when I received an email invitation to experience Curtain Buff. Without giving it a second though, I immediately replied that of course I would love to go. I had been to Antigua five years previously (see Jumby Bay and Hermitage Bay), and it had remained one of my all-time favorite Caribbean islands for having a great vibe, lots of luxury resorts, and s

A Piton Pilgrimage: Luxury in Saint Lucia

Jade Mountain On approach into Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) in St. Lucia I realized, that the Caribbean of my mind’s eye existed in a giddiness-inducing reality. The gorgeous Pitons rising straight from the depths of the ocean made me feel that perhaps I had in fact flown to a much more far-flung destination, like Phi Phi Island, when in fact I was mere four hours and forty minutes nonstop flying time from Boston. The Pitons on approach to UVF After about a thirty mi

A January Week in Iceland

Northern Lights Is Iceland on your list of must-visit destinations? I spent six nights in Iceland in January 2017 and I had an amazing time. Definitely one of my top five all-time favorite places, and one that I would love to return to soon. How was Iceland in January? I have lived in Boston for the past thirteen years and I am finally more or less acclimated to the cold. Of course, every year is different, but when I was looking at the weather the week before I left, Boston

Adventure in the Yucatan

Our Ride to the Cenote Our Yucatan adventure started a few weeks before our departure when it came to my attention that American Airlines still did not have approval to fly to Merida. Luckily, even though it was a prime holiday travel week I was able to find two seats in Business Class on AeroMexico. This was my third trip to the interior of the Yucatan, and my primary goal was to see Uxmal. The other goal was to stay in one hotel for the duration of the trip, so we booked th

St. Regis Bora Bora versus Four Seasons Bora Bora

St. Regis Bora Bora Four Seasons Bora Bora There are certain destinations blessed with a luxury hotel conundrum, and Bora Bora is one of those places. Clients always want to know which hotel is the best, and the St. Regis and Four Seasons are at the tops of everyone’s list. I knew as soon as I had secured my Air Tahiti Business Class award flights that I would stay at both properties, and settle the debate once and for all. Which hotel is better?

Luxury Resort Showdown in French Polynesia

Billionaire’s Pool at The Brando On a whim I decided to set up an alert in May 2016 for two business class tickets on Air Tahiti Nui for multiple dates surrounding our 10th Wedding Anniversary in August 2016. Imagine my surprise one night about one week later when two seats popped up as available. I knew this trip must be meant to be, so I grabbed the seats, handed over an obscene number of AAdvantage miles (320,000) and started piecing the rest of the trip together. Champag

Luxury Travels in Italy: Part 3 Rome

People love Rome for the history, art and architecture. They loathe Rome for the ever present crowds of people. Popular destinations have earned that distinction for a reason. If you would like to check Rome off of your list, but want to avoid the masses, then private touring is the perfect fit for you. Speaking of the masses, we spend the last two nights of our trip to Italy at the Westin Excelsior. Technically, this is a Virtuoso hotel. However, the reality was that my room

Luxury Travels in Italy: Part 2 Tuscany

Sunset in Tuscany We left Florence at 11:00 AM for our first stop at Castello della Paneretta for a tour, wine tasting and delicious lunch. A lovely place to learn about wine and view sixteenth century frescoes from the Florentine painter Bernardino Poccetti. The food was simple, fresh, and delicious. The hosts were gracious. A wonderful stop on your journey through Tuscany. Our next stop was a quick stroll in San Giminiano, before heading to our hotel for the evening, The Gr
