The top deciding factors for choosing Gyp Sea St Barth compared to the other 5 star hotels available were: 1. The views from the hotel rooms private terraces. 2. The unique tropical boho design and decor which had character and felt authentic versus being too clinical and modern. 3. Free shuttle to their beach and free Gyp Sea Beach Club St Barth entry and loungers. 4. The claw tub bath. 5. It was available to book on Amex. 6. Location: 10 minutes from Gustavia, the airport and St Jean Beach. Highlights: spotless rooms, balcony views, privacy, truffle scrambled eggs (costs extra), the turtles roaming the property, beach club.

Conrad Bora Bora Nui resort is the Bora Bora hotel we chose to stay at for our 10 year wedding anniversary vacation. We’ve already been to the Maldives and Fiji and like to try different places. Although I’d go back to the Maldives in a heartbeat as it’s still one of our favorite holiday destinations. Everyone always raves about Bora Bora so we had to check it out. It took us a long time to decide which resort to stay at as there’s lots of ‘Best hotels in Bora Bora’ guides and all of the 5 star hotels look fabulous. Rather than just give you another Conrad Bora Bora review, list of all of the Conrad Bora Bora activities and Conrad Bora Bora wedding packages, the idea of a travel blog versus a hotel booking site review is that it’s less overwhelming. As well as more personal and has some resort, booking and packing tips after experiencing staying there. Read more: https://glamourandgains.com/conrad-bora-bora-nui-10-facts-know-before-booking/

There are so many hotels to choose from in Florence. We choose 4 star hotel this for it’s location which was a minute walk (100 meters) to the Duomo and really central. The rooms aren’t large, as you’ll know is common in European cities but they are beautifully done with antique materials that blend naturally with a superb contemporary style and the beds are super comfortable. I was worried the church bells and police sirens would keep us awake but the windows are pretty well sound proofed. Don’t skip breakfast, you’ll need it to fuel all of your walking and exploring and the spiral staircase to their inside viewing deck is also by the entrance to breakfast.
