Park Plaza Histria Pula

Le Negresco 

This is like staying in a marvelous museum right on the French Riviera. The art, the views, and the history make the stay worth it. Great service, wonderful restaurant, and walking distance to a million other shops and restaurants. The beach is rocky but beautiful - bring your water shoes.

Hotel St Regis

The doormen, room cleaners, front desk, and restaurant staff were all very friendly. Steps away from Champs Elysees with lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. We had a two bedroom family suite and it was perfect for our 4person family and soooo beautiful! Beds were super comfy. Everyone was very kind when we tried to speak French and quickly switched to English to help us out :)

Chatteau de Perreux

Almar Jesolo Resort & Spa

Near Venice! We stayed in the family suite which was perfect for us. The kids had their own space and we had ours. Plenty of chairs at pool and beach. First rate service at front desk, pool, and restaurant. Food was great! Pool was nice and big and heated. Lots of families. Great hotel if you don’t want to stay in Venice but super close to get to.

Castello Di Monterone

Only 18 rooms in this medieval castle turned hotel so book early. Stunning views of Perugia! Pool, terrace, sauna, restaurant, wine room. Welcoming staff who answered our questions about the history of the castle and made recommendations for things to do in town. And our kids loved sleeping in a real castle!

 Garni Hotel Berc

Perfect location with just a 2min walk to the lake. Luka was super helpful with recommendations for restaurants and giving us directions to whatever attraction we were visiting for the day. No frills but rooms and entire hotel were clean and comfortable. Breakfast buffet was great!

H10 Casa Mimosa

For the love of all that is delicious in this world, eat in the restaurant for lunch or dinner. The tapas that we had were so flavorful and inventive! We could have spent our entire vacation sitting in the courtyard, eating the tapas, and drinking the sangria. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Rooms were gorgeous and actually pretty quiet considering we were in the middle of a busy city. Great location!

Sunborn Gibraltar

Super fun to stay in this ship-turned-hotel! Clean, comfortable rooms and close to the airport and main town. Rooftop pool and bar were nice to have after a long travel day. Great customer service.

The Seabird Resort

Perfect location for a beach getaway! Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby but we really loved being this close to the beach and pier. We just sat and watched the surfers and relaxed.

 Argonaut Hotel

Great central location in Fisherman's Wharf, walk to anything/everything. Nice, clean rooms. Friendly staff, the concierge was wonderful! Very helpful with restaurant reservations and directions. Stayed here as a couple and again with the kids. Right across the street from Ghirardelli… need I say more?

 Hotel Yountville

Our huge room had a comfortable bed, everything clean and beautiful. Loved our private patio. Room service was friendly and speedy. Check-in was easy. Staff was friendly and helpful with any questions we had about the area. Gorgeous property especially the pool area, top-notch service. Worth the luxury price, this is truly a luxury hotel.

 The Curtis

Convenient and fun hotel in downtown Denver. Each floor has a different theme. Good breakfast at the restaurant. Easy check-in. Only 1/2block to Denver Center for Performing Arts and less than 2 blocks to 16th street restaurants and shopping. 

 Opal Sands Resort

 Ocean Key Resort & Spa

Location Location Location

Right on Sunset Pier at the end of Duvall St, you can't beat the location. It's an older hotel but rooms are very comfortable and spacious. Pool area was great and staff is attentive.

Disney's Aulani Hotel

If you have kids, this hotel is a huge YES! After all of the exploring on Oahu, its nice to be pampered and let the kids wander around in a clean, fun, safe space. Pool area is amazing  and the beach is beautiful and safe to let the kids explore a bit on their own. Food was good and of course the character experience can't be beat.

Turtle Bay Resort

Beautiful resort on the North Shore. An older hotel but completely updated. We stayed in one of the bungalows for extra room. Location is perfect for sitting outside and watching the surfers and the turtles go by. Lots of walking trails, nice pool area and restaurant.

 Vdara

Central location on the strip. We liked the fact that there's no casino in this hotel because its just nice to have a break from it all sometimes. Pool area was great! Rooms are so comfortable and feel high-end. Amazing massages at the spa!

 Inn of the Five Graces

Extreme luxury in the middle of the oldest neighborhood in the US. Gorgeous Tibetan-inspired rooms are so beautiful you won't want to leave. But the restaurant, spa, and pool will soon draw you out and each area is more impressive than the next. 

The New Yorker

Near Penn Station, walking distance to anything you could want or need, easy subway ride to anything else. Art Deco vibes with modern amenities. Bell and cleaning staff were helpful and friendly. 3 restaurants (and a Starbucks) in the hotel, would recommend each one.
