What is Four Seasons Preferred Partner?

Are you booking Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts? Are you using a travel advisor? If not, you should be using an advisor that is a Four Seasons Preferred Partner.

Four Seasons Resort Hawaii, Maui

What is Four Seasons Preferred Partner?

The Four Seasons Preferred Partner program is an exclusive, invitation-only program for luxury travel agencies from around the world. And what that means for you, is as the client you’re eligible to get extra perks for your stay.

Client perks for booking through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner:

• Preferred Partner benefits (things like hotel/resort credits, daily breakfast, room upgrades and more)

• Enhanced recognition and personal welcome from on-property management

• Access to the best room inventory

• Priority wait-list clearance

But, what about booking through programs like Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts or Virtuoso? These programs are better than booking direct or on Expedia, but they don’t give you the most value like Four Seasons Preferred Partner does.

The best part about the Four Seasons Preferred Partner program is that the Preferred Partner benefits can usually be combined with any of the rates you find on Four Seasons website. In fact Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits can be combined with advanced purchase, free night offers, enhanced resort credit offers and more.

Curious where Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts are located?

Why Four Seasons Preferred Partner vs. Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts or Virtuoso?

Here are the reasons to book through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner:

• Room upgrades are subject to availability at check-in and reservations booked through Four Seasons Preferred Partner vs. Amex or Virtuoso take the highest priority.

• Four Seasons Preferred Partner amenities can be added to most rates that Four Seasons offers rather than just the standard/best available rate with other programs

• For benefits like complimentary breakfast, this can be enjoyed in the restaurant or via in-room dining, while other programs only allow for breakfast in the restaurant.

• There is a tremendous amount of value that booking through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner brings such as our relationship with individual properties to personalize your stay.

Is there a fee to book through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner?

Live Luxe Travel Co. offers complimentary hotel bookings for hotel or resort stays of $500 USD or more per reservation or two nights or more. For those stays that do not meet the minimum spend or length requirement, we charge a non-refundable booking fee of $25 USD per reservation, at our discretion.

Summary

If you’re booking stays at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts around the world and not using a Four Seasons Preferred Partner to book your stay, then you’re missing out on complimentary extras.

Considering a stay at a Four Seasons Hotel or Resort? We’d love to send you a quote with the included Preferred Partner benefits.

Andaz Maui Ilikai Villas Review

Andaz Maui Ilikai Villas Review - Updated March of 2024

We just returned from a second stay at the Andaz Maui Ilikai Villas and this time we stayed in the beautiful Penthouse Villa with glass bottom plunge pool.

The villas are just as great as we remember, if not better and make the perfect accommodation for groups of friends, multi-generational families and more. And with a 5th night free when you book with Live Luxe Travel Co., there is no better time for a stay at Andaz Maui!

Our Verdict

Andaz Maui Ilikai Villas Review

Aloha! Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort is located in, you guessed it, Wailea, with direct access to Mokapu Beach. Andaz Maui is located just down the street from the famous Grand Wailea on Wailea Alanui Drive. Andaz Maui isn’t your typical Hawaiian resort. This resort offers 300 guest rooms including 29 villas and 35 suites, but it still has a very boutique and upscale feel.

Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort offers plush accommodations, sweeping views of the ocean, a fantastic spa, boutique shops and award-winning dining options including Morimoto Maui (Iron Chef Morimoto).

Welcome to your home away from home at the beautiful Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort. In the beginning of May, 2021 Andaz Maui at Wailea finished 19 new Ilikai Villas. “Ilikai,” like the Hawaiian word for Horizon, aptly names this new luxury villa offering.

These new villas are all three bedroom with several different bedroom configurations including:

2 Kings 1 Bunk Bed Garden View

2 Kings 1 Trundle Bed Partial Ocean View

2 Kings 1 Bunk Bed Partial Ocean View

2 Kings 1 Trundle Bed Ocean View

2 Kings 1 Bunk Bed Ocean View

2 Kings 2 Queen Beds Ocean View Penthouse

The new villas are located near the front drive of the resort and just a short walk to the adults-only pool or down to the beach. While some might argue that the new Ilikai Villas aren’t true villas since they aren’t free-standing and are all located in the same building, they are incredible and offer plenty of privacy.

Our stay in the new Ilikai Villas was our second stay at Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort . Read our entire review from our stay in February of 2021 when we stayed in one of the Ocean Suites.

This review is based on our personal stay in May of 2021. And don’t forget, if you are planning to stay in one of the new Ilikai Villas at Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort, book through Live Luxe Travel Co. to take advantage of exclusive Hyatt Privé benefits like the 6th night free, $100 USD resort credit (once per stay), $150 USD daily resort credit (based on number of bedrooms), complimentary valet parking, daily breakfast for two guests per bedroom, a stand-up paddle board lesson for up to 8 registered villa guests and a welcome amenity.

Our Villa

Our villa was the 2 Kings 1 Trundle Bed Partial Ocean View category located on the ground-level with a plunge pool. While this villa is categorized as a partial ocean view, it really should be considered an ocean view as it offers a pretty unobstructed view of the ocean.

This trip was a friend's trip and having the 3 bedroom villa made for the perfect accommodation to offer privacy and a common space where we could all gather. The main king bedroom is right off the outdoor patio which overlooks the plunge pool and ocean.

The second king bedroom was near the entrance to our villa and since we were on the ground floor, it offered a private outdoor courtyard with not much of a view.

The main bedroom and second bedroom are very similar as they both have a walk-in closet, a tv in the bedroom, a beautiful bathroom with dual vanities, walk-in shower and deep soaking tub.

And the third bedroom was toward the middle of the villa. This third bedroom is supposed to have a trundle bed, but due to COVID-19 and furniture being backordered, the bedroom is currently set up with a queen bed.

The third bedroom does have a closet although it’s not as spacious as the other two bedrooms and the third bedroom doesn’t offer an ensuite since the bathroom for this bedroom is located across the hall.

The new Ilikai Villas are just over 1,900 square feet of indoor living space plus the outdoor patio or balcony depending on the category. All of the new Ilikai Villas feature a gourmet chefs kitchen equipped with Bosch built-in refrigerator/freezer, 5 burner gas cooktop, wall oven and microwave combo, built-in coffee machine and built-in dishwasher.

Even though you’re likely staying at Andaz Maui for vacation, it’s nice having the villas to be able to keep snacks, beverages and to be able to cook some.

The outdoor lanai and plunge pool in our villa was the perfect place to escape the rest of the resort if we didn’t feel like leaving the villa. The plunge pool can comfortably accommodate 6 people with extra space. And to our surprise, the pool was heated to the perfect temperature.

The lanai also has a small bistro-style dining table for 4, a small loveseat, 2 lounge chairs, a beverage fridge and drop-in Viking Gas Grill which makes for the perfect place to entertain.

The new Ilikai Villas are equipped with smart switches throughout that control the lights and the roller shades. Some minor details such as motorized roller shades in all of the bedrooms, some additional furniture and a few miscellaneous items are still being completed during guests' stays.

Andaz Maui at Wailea features Mālie toiletries in the koke’e scent which combines organic aloe, coconut and ginger.

Maybe a villa is too big for your stay at Andaz Maui? Read our review of an Ocean View Suite from February of 2021.

Amenities

When you think of a beach vacation, it probably means something different to you than it does to someone else. If you want to swim, Andaz Maui has three tiered pools, a shallow pool walk-in pool (where kids and families usually spend time), and an adults-only pool.

If you’re looking for a place to get your zen on then look no further than ‘awili spa and salon. Awili spa offers separate men’s and women’s facilities with a jacuzzi, steam room and sauna.

If you like to live a life in balance and workout during vacation, the fitness center at Andaz Maui has plenty of cardio equipment including 3 treadmills, 3 ellipticals, 3 Peloton bikes, plenty of free weights and strength training machines. The safety and cleanliness protocols taking place all over the resort and especially at the gym were very thorough. During one of our workouts an attendant came in to spray gym equipment with electrostatic disinfectant. Masks are required during the duration of your workout, which if you aren’t comfortable with that there are a lot of places to get a great workout outside.

Andaz also has a surf shack on the beach where you can rent watersports equipment such as snorkel gear, kayaks, paddleboards and more. And if you’re looking for a guided adventure, they can help with that too.

Dining

Perhaps one of the best parts of staying at Andaz Maui is the proximity to some of Maui’s best restaurants including Ka’ana Kitchen, Bumbye Beach Bar and Morimoto’s.

Ka’ana Kitchen is Andaz Maui’s main restaurant that is open for breakfast and dinner. This is where the Hyatt Prive and Globalist breakfast is served. And if you’re lucky enough to have breakfast included, it’s about a $50 value per person, per day. Breakfast at Ka’ana is buffet style and due to COVID-19, it’s an assisted buffet to minimize the number of surfaces that guests touch.

The breakfast buffet features a hot food station with pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, an assortment of breakfast meats and a few dishes that change each day. The buffet also has a fruit and charcuterie station and a selection of fresh bakery items including toast, bagels, muffins and more.

One day for lunch we dined at Lahua Lounge. This is the same menu that is served poolside or at Bumbye Beach Bar. Our lunch started off with the poke. Then for our main course we tried the Crispy Chicken Mochiko Bowl and it was so good. If you’re looking for an insider trick add avocado to it. The cocktails including the Wailea Spritz are also excellent.

For dinner we ate at Ka’ana Kitchen and we will be the first to tell you to order the Fried Chicken with Jalapeno cornbread! It’s seriously so good!

During our stay we didn’t dine at Morimoto Maui, but this famed restaurant was started by Iron Chef Massiruh Morimoto who you may have seen on Food Network.

And lastly Andaz Maui has Mokapu Market where guests can grab a snack, a bottle of wine, specialty coffee drinks and gelato for a cool treat. And the market has local island made foods, treats and souvenirs. Mokapu Market is typically open 24/7 during normal times but due to COVID are running some temporary hours.

Service

Talk about being treated like a VIP. The Ilikai Villas at Andaz Maui come with a dedicated VIP concierge team. This team handles any requests you might have before you arrive at the property. Brittain, Ben, Michelle, Kathleen & Makanalani can assist you with things like dining reservations on the island.

During our stay, we went to use the Bosch in-wall coffee maker system and noticed one of the parts was missing to steam the milk. We called the VIP team, and within minutes they were at the door of our villa with the missing part.

How are they handling COVID?

Masks were required throughout the entire Andaz Maui Resort unless you were eating or drinking, were in the pool or were sitting by the pool.

Andaz Maui is adhering to all state and local government regulations. All employees were wearing masks, there were hand sanitizer dispensers all over the resort and the staff was there to give gentle reminders to wear a facial covering.

Overall Impression

Andaz Maui hit a home run when it comes to the addition of the 19 new Ilikai Villas. These new villas offer the perfect accommodations for a family trip, friends getaway, corporate retreat. The new Ilikai Villas are in buildings that are 5 villas across by 4 villas high. The villas can be connecting up to 5 across making for 15 bedroom accommodations. 

Extra Perks

And to make your stay in the new Ilikai Villas at Andaz Maui even more special, you’ll receive some extra perks for booking through a Hyatt Privé travel advisor like Live Luxe Travel Co. Andaz Maui is currently running a promotion for the 6th night free, which is a great value for those visiting Maui for almost a week. In addition to the free night the Ilikai Villas come with a daily resort credit based on the number of bedrooms. Since the Ilikai Villas are all three bedrooms they come with a daily $150 USD resort credit in addition to the $100 USD Hyatt Privé credit (once per stay). You’ll also receive daily breakfast for 2 guests per bedroom, complimentary valet parking for 1 vehicle, a private stand up paddle board lesson for up to 8 registered villa guests and a welcome amenity.

Waldorf Astoria Cancun Review

Our Verdict

Waldorf Astoria Cancun

Waldorf Astoria Cancun is a luxurious beachfront resort located in Cancun, Mexico about 25 minutes outside of the tourist zone. The resort is situated on a stretch of pristine white sand beach overlooking the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. The hotel features an elegant and modern design that seamlessly blends Mexican culture and contemporary luxury.

Waldorf Astoria Cancun sits near Bahia Petempich Beach which is located on the Caribbean coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, near the town of Puerto Morelos. The beach is known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters, pristine white sand, and lush tropical vegetation.

Bahia Petempich Beach is a quieter and less crowded option compared to other beaches in the area, making it ideal for those seeking a more peaceful and secluded beach experience. Its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere make it a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to the Yucatan Peninsula.

It was a short drive only about 15 minutes from the Cancun International (CUN) airport to the turn off the highway into the resort complex where Waldorf Astoria Cancun is located. And then it was about a 5-6 minute drive all the way to the back of the complex to arrive at Waldorf.

The front drive of this resort is gorgeous with a large water feature and reflecting pond in the center of the front drive and these massive wooden doors that take you into the lobby.

And as soon as you go through the massive doors, be prepared to be wowed as you are greeted by this grand lobby including the signature Waldorf Astoria clock right in front of you. Welcome to the Jewel of Cancun.

This review is based on our personal stay in March of 2023. And don’t forget, if you are planning to stay at Waldorf Astoria Cancun when you book through Live Luxe Travel Co., you’ll receive complimentary benefits such as hotel/resort credits, daily breakfast, room upgrades and more.

For a limited time get the 4th night free plus an additional resort credit of $150 USD for rooms and $300 USD for suites. Must book by June 30, 2023 for stays from January 1, 2023 - December 20, 2023 (blackout dates apply).

Our Room

During our stay we stayed in an Ocean Front Suite with King Bed. All of the rooms and suites at Waldorf Astoria Cancun are very luxurious and offer ocean views, balconies and soaking tubs.

The Ocean Front Suite has extra space at over 1,000 square feet with the convenience of a half bath off the living room. And like a one bedroom suite, there was separation from the living room and bedroom. The living room had a relaxing oversized sofa and table for two. The bedroom also features a sitting area.

Overall the rooms feel very high quality, but with subtle touches of Mexico such as bright colorful artwork to remind you of the destination.

The bathroom in our suite was super luxurious with lots of marble, dual sinks, a space to sit down and do makeup or hair and the glass enclosed shower over looking the balcony.

The shower was very good sized and offered a waterfall rain head from the ceiling along with a handheld. The only complaint was that there didn’t seem to be air conditioning in the shower so it did feel quite hot in there no matter the temperature of the water.

Waldorf Astoria Cancun features Vervan toiletries. These are local products from Mexico that are all natural, cruelty free, biodegradable and more. They were green tea, mint and ginger scented which smelled quite nice and left your skin feeling great.

It’s worth mentioning that all rooms and suites have an ocean view, a hair dyer, iron and ironing board, balcony, Nespresso machine, mini bar and more.

Amenities

Whether you’re looking to spend time at the beach, the pool, the spa or the fitness center, there is something for everyone at Waldorf Astoria Cancun.

During our stay, the red tide was pretty bad, but it wasn’t just at Waldorf Astoria Cancun, it was bad at all of the resorts we visited in the Riviera Maya area.

Waldorf Astoria Spa Cancun is a magical enclave that truly connects you with nature and provides a transformative experience by providing holistic well-being by combining innovation with traditional Mayan culture. Their whole spa is inspired by the connection between the Yaxché or Tree of Life for the Mayan culture.

The spa is absolutely stunning from the facilities in the locker rooms to the outdoor hydrotherapy circuit to the treatment cabins. Your wellness escape awaits.

The pools at Waldorf Astoria Cancun are infinity edge and face the ocean. There is an upper pool closer to the building and the lower pool closer to the beach. Both pools offer a great place to rest, relax and soak up the sun.

During our stay we spent time at the pool. And the staff at the pool is absolutely amazing, The service was very attentive and very quick. It only took about 5 minutes to get drinks and the pool was fairly busy. They do have sun beds that are first-come-first-serve and cabanas for rent.

And if you’re looking for something more adventurous than lounging at the pool, beach or going to the spa, the concierge can arrange tons of activities and experiences.

Waldorf Astoria Spa Cancun is a magical and unique enclave that provides an authentic and transformative experience to our guests, focused on their holistic well-being by combining innovation with the tradition of the Mayan Culture. Timeless and free-spirited, with an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, Waldorf Astoria Spa Cancun reinvents the spa experience, incorporating locally sourced oils and fresh herbs from the garden, with healing crystals and the most innovative products to take you in a magical journey of transformation and enlightenment. Our signature spa experience is inspired by the connection between the Yaxché or Tree of Life for the Mayan culture, with the use of the healing stones and the Mayan cosmovision.

While we didn’t have a treatment at Waldorf Astoria Cancun Spa, we did use the spa facilities including sauna and steam in the locker room and the outdoor hydrotherapy circuit.

Dining

Waldorf Astoria Cancun offers a variety of dining options, including a seafood restaurant, a modern Mexican restaurant, and the pool bar with stunning panoramic views. There are a total of 5 food and beverage outlets on property at Waldorf Astoria Cancun.

Breakfast each day is served at Chaya which is also open for dinner. Breakfast is a super casual and relaxed atmosphere. For breakfast we tried the chilaquiles (these are a must), pancakes, American breakfast and more.

For dinner we dined at Ja’o (modern Mexican cuisine) one night and the tacos and margaritas were excellent. This restaurant has great ambiance and blends the indoor with the outdoors.

And lastly we dined at Chaya for dinner our last night. They were having an Italian theme night, which during a long length of stay or just for something different was a nice change of pace.

Service

Like any new property, it’s hard to open and have top-notch service within the first year. But we were super impressed by the service we encountered at Waldorf Astoria Cancun. Everyone from the bell staff, to front desk, to housekeeping, to waitstaff was all very friendly, helpful and accommodating.

In fact, one night at dinner we asked what other desserts were possible because we didn’t see anything on the menu that looked good. They asked what we had in mind, we told we wanted Tres Leches and they made it happen. Luxury is learning how to not say no.

Overall Impression

Waldorf Astoria Cancun is a hidden gem. This new luxury resort will cater to those wanting a quick weekend escape, to couples, families, honeymooners and anyone else seeing a true luxury five-star experience who doesn’t want to spend nearly an hour in the car going to other Riviera Maya properties.

We would go back to Waldorf Astoria Cancun in a heartbeat. In fact it will become a resort that we frequent.

Extra Perks

And don’t forget, when you book Waldorf Astoria Cancun with Live Luxe Travel Co., you’ll receive a $100 USD equivalent resort credit (once per stay) to use on dining or spa treatments, daily breakfast for two and a room upgrade (if available at the time of check-in).

For a limited time get the 4th night free plus an additional resort credit of $150 USD for rooms and $300 USD for suites. Must book by June 30, 2023 for stays from January 1, 2023 - December 20, 2023 (blackout dates apply).

Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas Review

Our Verdict

Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas Review

The Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas is a true gem in the Baja California Sur region of Mexico. Upon driving into the Costa Palmas development and driving up the driveway to the resort, we knew we were in for a luxurious and memorable stay.

The resort is located on the stunning East Cape of the Baja Peninsula, where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean. The Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas’ location offers stunning views of the sea and the surrounding mountains. The resort's architecture is modern and sleek, with clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic that blends perfectly with the natural beauty of the area.

The resort is about a 90 minute drive from the Los Cabos International Airport.

As soon as we pulled up to the pick-up and drop-off area, we were greeted by their friendly staff who offered us a refreshing welcome drink and a warm introduction. The check-in process was quick and efficient, and we were soon escorted to our suite.

This review is based on our personal stay in January of 2023. And don’t forget, if you are planning to stay at the Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas, when you book through Live Luxe Travel Co., you’ll receive complimentary Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits such as hotel/resort credits, daily breakfast, room upgrades and more.

Our Room

During our stay at the Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas we stayed in one of the Executive Ocean View Suites with Plunge Pools. The suite itself is simply stunning. The suite is an open layout with a combined bedroom and living room.

The spacious living area is elegantly furnished with comfortable seating and beautiful artwork. The large floor-to-ceiling windows offer incredible views of the ocean and flood the room with natural light. There's also a dining area with a small table which is perfect for enjoying meals in the privacy of your own suite which we did take advantage of this our first evening at the resort after a long travel day.

The bedroom is equally impressive, with a king-sized bed that's incredibly comfortable and that plush Four Seasons bedding we’ve come to love that feels like you're sleeping on a cloud. The room also has its own balcony, which is the perfect spot to watch the sunrise over the ocean or you can simply open the blinds and enjoy the sunrise from bed.

The bathroom is a work of art in itself, with marble floors and walls, a deep soaking tub, and a spacious shower. There are also double sinks and plenty of storage space for your toiletries.

And one of the standout features of the executive ocean view suite is the private infinity pool. The pool is situated on the balcony and is the perfect place to relax and soak up the sun. The pool is heated, so even if the weather isn't quite warm enough, you can still take a dip.

Amenities

Of course, the room/suite is just one aspect of the Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas experience. From exquisite dining options to stunning recreational activities, this resort has everything you need to unwind and rejuvenate.

Let's explore some of the amenities that make this resort a must-visit destination.

From an outdoor lap pool to an adult-only sanctuary, the Four Seasons Resort Los cabos at Costa Palmas collection of six pools offers refreshment, relaxation and pampering all day.

And if you’re a beach person, the beach here is an absolute dream with crystal clear turquoise waters and soft sandy shores. Whether you're looking to relax and soak up the sun or take a dip in the refreshing ocean, this is the perfect spot for a beach day.

The resort boasts a world-class spa that promises to rejuvenate your body, mind, and spirit.

The spa at the Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas is designed to provide guests with a tranquil and relaxing environment. The spa's decor is inspired by the natural beauty of Baja California, with earthy tones and natural materials creating a sense of calm and serenity. The spa's layout is also designed to ensure maximum privacy and seclusion, with private treatment rooms that offer breathtaking views of the ocean.

The spa menu at the Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas features a range of treatments that draw on traditional healing practices from around the world.

Up to $500 USD Resort Credit + Virtuoso Benefits - See Details Below -

Hanalei Bay is a breathtakingly beautiful natural bay located on the north shore of Kauai, one of the Hawaiian Islands. The bay is approximately two miles long and half a mile wide, and is surrounded by verdant mountains and lush tropical vegetation.

The bay's crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and surfing, and the beach is an ideal spot for sunbathing and relaxing. The soft golden sand is ideal for a long walk, and beachgoers can enjoy stunning views of the mountains and the bay.

From the moment you drive up to 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay and step foot ini the sanctuary (lobby), you’re struck by the hotel's commitment to sustainability and the natural world. If you know one thing about 1 Hotels as a brand is they are know for sustainable luxury. The decor was minimalistic yet luxurious, with an emphasis on organic materials and earthy colors.

The resort is built into the hillside which is how they get around the Hawaiian rule of no buildings taller than the tallest coconut tree. While compact, the resort can be challenging to navigate until you get the hang of it. There are two sets of elevators. The first set you access in the Sanctuary which is located on the 9th floor. The gym and access to the adults-only pool are through these elevators in the sanctuary and are on level 8. If you want to go to the beachfront pool, you need to take the main elevators in the sanctuary down to level 5, walk down the hallway and then take another elevator down to level 1. See map below.

This review is based on our personal stay in March of 2023. And don’t forget, if you are planning to stay at 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, when you book through Live Luxe Travel Co., you’ll receive complimentary benefits such as hotel/resort credits, daily breakfast, room upgrades and more.

For a limited time get an additional resort credit + Virtuoso Benefits. For stays up to 3 nights receive a $100 USD resort credit, for stays 3+ nights get a $400 USD resort credit, for stay of 5+ nights get a $1,00 USD resort credit. Must book by December 31, 2024 for stays from January 1, 2024 - December 31, 2024 (blackout dates apply).

Our Room

During our stay at 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay we stayed in one of the One Bedroom Suites. These suites features a separate bedroom and living room. They also have access to the toilet and a sink that is separate from the bedroom and bathroom.

The large picturesque windows offer breathtaking views of Hanalei Bay and offer the perfect place to cozy up and relax.

The bathroom features lost of organic and sustainable materials such as wood, metal and stone. A majority of the bathroom walls are built from lava rock, after all you are in Hawaii.

The showers are large and equipped with rain showerheads, providing a luxurious spa-like experience. The use of natural materials such as stone and wood creates a peaceful and calming environment.

And the best feature of our room was the gorgeous lava rock freestanding soaking tub.

The hotel provides organic bath products that are free from harmful chemicals, ensuring a pure and rejuvenating experience. The towels and bathrobes are made from organic cotton, adding to the eco-conscious philosophy of the hotel.

1 Hotel Hanaleai Bay just like every other 1 Hotel eats, sleeps and breathes sustainability. Sustainability here is not just some marketing buzz-word. Sustainability is at the heart of everything the resort does. You can read more about 1 Hotels commitment to sustainability, here. In fact, you won’t find any single use plastics in any of the guest rooms. You’re given metal water bottles in your room and there is a filtered water tap in every room for drinking water. Our water tap was in the countertop in the living room next to the Nespresso machine.

One of the standout features is that all of the roofs are living so there is no ugly roofs to look at. This is good for the environment as it’s reducing carbon-dioxide and the living roofs help save energy costs. And if you look closely you’ll find a vegetable and herb garden that the chef uses to source ingredients from.

Amenities

The hotel's amenities were also top-notch. I loved spending time at the beachfront pool, which offered stunning views of the bay. The fitness center (powered by Alchemy) was well-equipped (even had several Peloton bikes), and offers a variety of classes, including yoga, while the spa offers a range of treatments designed to promote relaxation and rejuvenation.

If mind and movement is your thing Anatomy fitness studio offers a spectrum of workouts, all informed by wellness practitioners and trainers. Group cycling, high-intensity whole-body workouts, sunrise meditation, breathwork and posture alignment, barre without the bar, kickboxing, Pranic healing, personal training, and beyond.

The resort features two pool areas, the beachfront pool which is for families and the adults-only infinity edge pool and jacuzzi.

During our stay we spent time at both pools and both offered a great place to relax, soak up the sun and spend time with one another. Both pools offer cabanas and pool-side food and beverage service.

There is certainly something for everyone with a full calendar of outdoor experiences, wellness experiences, and opportunities to explore the wondrous nature of Kaua’i. You’ll find everything from cooking to fitness, wildlife, music, arts and more.

And lastly the spa. 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay features a Bramford Wellness Spa. Bamford Wellness is a spa devoted to nurturing the mind, body and spirit. Our holistic approach is based around a heartfelt connection with nature.

While we didn’t have a treatment during our stay, but we did visit the spa and used the steam and sauna in the locker room. All of the amenities of the spa including the locker rooms and the relaxation lounge were well equipped and beautifully designed.

Dining

Welcome to a foodie haven. 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay features 7 food and beverage outlets so you certainly won’t experience fatigue on eating the same things during your stay.

We enjoyed dinner at 1 Kitchen (the main restaurant serving breakfast and dinner). The dinner we had was made from the freshest and most local ingredients. We ordered a bunch of things to share including the Milk Bread, Hamachi Crudo, New Wave Island Half Chicken (like Hawaiian BBQ chicken), and Brussels Sprouts. All of the dishes were great, the chicken was absolutely incredible. We were also celebrating a birthday, and to our surprise at the end of our meal they brought out a small birthday cake.

For more casual mornings, we enjoyed grabbing coffee, smoothies and small bites from Neighbors. Neighbors is an all-day café, market and communal gathering spot for guests and locals. This made for every leisurely and relaxing mornings after sleeping in and getting our sweat on.

And lastly you must eat at Welina Terrace. It’s known for the best sunset on Kaua’i and the food, ambiance and live entertainment lived up to the hype. The menu is modern Japanese and the sushi was excellent.

The food and beverage offering at the Sandbox down at the beachfront pool is quite good as we enjoyed tacos and margaritas when our pool day got rained out.

Service

While it’s hard to know what to expect service wise from a newly re-imagined luxury resort, we were pleasantly surprised as to how good the service was. Not saying there isn’t room for improvement, but overall the service levels experienced during our stay with housekeeping, waitstaff, bellman and everyone was warm, friendly and helpful.

Overall Impression

It’s worth noting that 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay is the only luxury resort on Kaua’i without resort fees or parking fees for guests. In the luxury space is easy to feel like you’re being nickled and dimed for every little thing. This is not the case at 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay.

This is easily the nicest most luxurious resort on the whole island of Kauai and rivals some of the competitors on other neighboring islands.

We can’t wait to return to this lifestyle luxury hotel after they have had some time to get everything up and running and all the activations going.

Extra Perks

And don’t forget, when you book 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay with Live Luxe Travel Co., you’ll receive a $100 USD equivalent resort credit (once per stay) to use on dining or spa treatments, daily breakfast for two and a room upgrade (if available at the time of check-in).

For a limited time get an additional resort credit + Virtuoso Benefits. For stays of 5+ nights get a $500 USD resort credit. That’s in addition to the the rest of our perks including daily breakfast for two, a room upgrade, if available at check-in and a welcome amenity.

Paradero Todos Santos Review

Our Verdict

Paradero Todos Santos

Paradero Todos Santos is a resort like no other. This sustainable and adventurous resort located in the middle of the desert near Todos Santos is the first resort to launch by the up and coming Paradero brand.

Todos Santos is a sleepy surf town in Baja California Sur, Mexico. The best way to get there is by flying into Los Cabos airport (SJD). To get to Paradero, you’ll go past San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. Todos Santos is about an hour north, a straight shot on Highway 19, which is a very well-maintained highway. There’s plenty to do and see in the neighboring towns of Pescadero and Todos Santos, therefore we recommend renting a car so you have freedom to explore the area. You will need about $5 USD each way for tolls on Highway 19 (and the toll booth is cash only).

When we arrived at Paradero, we were overwhelmed by the design. The entire resort is an Instagram Influencer’s playground ha! But seriously, the resort is gorgeously minimalistic. The hotel is designed by architects Ruben Valdez and Yashar Yektajo, and every detail of this space was intentionally designed in order to mesh with the surrounding scenery. From the earth-toned hues to the brutalist, two-story structures that house all of the hotel’s accommodations, the hotel’s overall aesthetic seamlessly matches the landscape, so much so, that you can barely see the hotel from the road.

This review is based on our personal stay in January of 2023. And don’t forget, if you are planning to stay at Paradero Todos Santos, when you book through Live Luxe Travel Co., you’ll receive complimentary benefits such as hotel/resort credits, daily breakfast, room upgrades and more.

Our Room

During our stay at Paradero Todos Santos we stayed in one of the Mountain View Sky Suites. These rooftop suites have sweeping views of the surrounding farmland, the mountains, and in the distance, views of the Pacific Ocean. The bedrooms are minimalist and cozy, with air conditioning.

The open-air bathrooms are separate from the bedroom, situated across a small outdoor seating area. And while the bedroom does have air-conditioning, the windows are strategically placed within the suites to promote cross ventilation of fresh air. Translation: You’ll sleep better without any noise and light pollution!

But the best part of these suites are the rooftop, which included a “star net” which is a hammock bolted into the walls, and an entire rooftop lounge area. One evening we enjoyed sunset from the rooftop with a bottle of champagne and a fire pit which the resort graciously brought and set up for us. It made for the perfect evening.

Paradero thrives on sustainability. You’ll find pitchers of water in the room with reusable water bottles, no single use plastics which means won’t find small bottles of shampoo, a mini bar, or coffee machine in your room. In fact, you won’t see excess plastic anywhere on the property. But don’t worry, the resort lobby offers coffee every morning and iced coffee each afternoon.

And while the resort has strong wi-fi, you won’t find any TV’s at Paradero Todos Santos. If you need nightly entertainment, we’d suggest stargazing or relaxing with a great book while enjoying the beautiful scenery!

Amenities

While Paradero Todos Santos is known for their rigorous activity schedule, don’t sweat, if your idea of a vacation is to do nothing more than lounge by the pool, the Paradero’s 130-foot-long infinity pool is the perfect spot to sunbathe and enjoy a good book. And if you need to zen and relax, the Ojo de Agua Spa offers something for everyone. The transformation begins from the moment you arrive at their below-ground spa, a sunken oasis inspired by a secret watering hole in Todos Santos. You can participate in an authentic temazcal, sound healing ceremony or opt for an invigorating massage.

But the core programming at Paradero is centered around their activity calendar which consists of both complimentary and paid options. The activities are centered on the environment, from farming and gardening to hiking and biking. And there’s yoga in the morning and group meditation sessions each afternoon.

Our only warning is that if you’re looking for a full fledged gym and fitness center, you won’t find that at Paradero Todos Santos. Their gym is an open air gym with a few weights and yoga mats. Don’t worry, we still managed to get our sweat on, but if you’re looking for a full fledged workout, it’s probably better to participate in one of the resort’s scheduled fitness classes.

Dining

We spent 10 nights in Cabo San Lucas and Todos Santos and one of the highlights of the trip was the food at Paradero Todos Santos. All of the food we had at Open Kitchen, the only restaurant at Paradero Totos Santos, was truly that good! The food at the Paradero Hotel’s restaurant is adventurous but also sustainable. The menu features local ingredient, many of which are grown or caught at or near the resort. That means the menu features plenty of seafood including hamachi tostadas, softshell crab tacos, among other local specialties like ceviche.

Breakfast features favorites like burritos, avocado toast and chilaquiles. The food was excellent and tip, the tortillas are freshly made every day, so those burritos are quite delicious. They also have a barista serving up locally roasted coffee and freshly squeezed juices.

And the cocktails were just as good as the food. Our favorite was probably the Mezcalita which is essentially a traditional margarita with mezcal instead of tequila. It sounds simple but the smokiness of the mezcal accentuates the tanginess of the drink and it was the perfect combo.

Service

We’d consider the Paradero Todos Santos Resort barefoot luxury. Don’t expect Four Seasons type service, but their entire staff was friendly, accommodating and helpful.

Overall Impression

As we mentioned at the beginning of the review, Paradero Todos Santos is truly a resort like no other. Combining indoor and outdoor living is at the heart of Paradero’s design. The small property will attract travelers who are interested in minimalist, sustainable luxury, as well as those who seek to experience a different side of Mexico.

To be honest, we were a bit apprehensive as this was a very different resort experience than what we were used to. But we loved our stay at Paradero Todos Santos and we will most definitely be back.

Extra Perks

And don’t forget, when you book Paradero Todos Santos with Live Luxe Travel Co., you’ll receive a $100 USD equivalent resort credit (once per stay) to use on dining or spa treatments, daily breakfast for two and a room upgrade (if available at the time of check-in).

The fitness center is equipped with 2 treadmills, an elliptical, two stationary bikes, a rowing machine, some free weights, a few weight machines, a water faucet (still and sparkling water), and plenty of towels.

Dining

The food and beverage offerings at Andaz Prague are inspired by local Czech cuisine, but with the modern ambience of an Andaz Hotel.

ZEM is an avant-garde Czech bistro, juxtaposing the aesthetics of Prague’s traditional coffee houses with 1920s retro-futuristic Czech art, literature, and engineering.

The menu is a creative blend of Czech produce with occasional hints of Japanese flavors, crafted from a theatrical kitchen stage of charcoal and steam.

ZEM is the hotels main restaurant where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. If you book through Hyatt Privé this is where the complimentary breakfast can be enjoyed.

During our stay we enjoyed breakfast each morning since it was included in our Hyatt Privé. stay, and it saved us about $30 USD per person each day. ZEM's breakfast is a buffet along with an a-la-carte menu. The buffet has cold cuts, cheeses, granola, breads, pastries, fresh fruit, fresh veggies and more. The breakfast was fantastic and the service was very attentive.

The last morning we decided to do in-room dining and opt for the Wintergarden breakfast. This is a very unique breakfast experience served in the Wintergarden Suite. The food was great and the view from the garden was even better. The sun was shining in through the windows making it for a warm and cozy way to start the day.

Service

Andaz Prague is a luxury lifestyle property, but the service offered is true luxury. From the moment we arrived people were there to look after every detail of our stay. And the staff is so friendly. Czech Republic is primarily an english speaking country.

The concierge team at the hotel is incredible. They helped us with dining reservations at local restaurants, booking haircuts, and curated a few local experiences for us.

One of the most curated experiences that the concierge team set us up with was a private shopping experience with a stylist. Honza, a local Czech resident was our stylist. He took us to several stores in different neighborhoods and helped us shop until we dropped. Guests of Honza's are treated like VIP's as he knows people at independent stores as well as designer brands.

Each day when we returned to our room, it was perfect. The housekeeping was very through as the room was so clean, everything tidied up and things refilled.

Magma Resort Santorini Review

Our Verdict

Magma Resort Santorini Review

Magma Resort Santorini, part of Hyatt's Unbound Collection, offers discreet luxury with personalized guest experiences in a unique destination. This resort offers amazing views of the Aegean Sea with dramatic sunrises, a holistic wellness center with a spa, and extraordinary culinary experiences.

Magma Resort Santorini is located on the lava-made slopes of Vourvoulos, nestled among traditional vineyards, on the tranquil side of Santorini. It is in close proximity to the picturesque lava sand beaches and the more action packed areas of the island such as Fira (10 minutes away) and Oia (20 minutes away).

Magma Resort Santorini is the perfect blend of sustainable modern design and the island's local character.

This review is based off of our personal stay in October of 2022. And don’t forget, if you are planning to stay at the Magma Resort Santorini, book through Hyatt Privé to take advantage of exclusive complimentary extras like a confirmed one category room upgrade (if available, confirmed within 24-48 hours of booking), $100 USD resort credit (once per stay), daily breakfast for 2 and a welcome amenity. And let’s just say, Magma Resort Santorini takes very good care of our clients. To request Hyatt Privé rates, just visit liveluxetravelco.com/hyatt-prive.

While Magma Resort Santorini isn't in the middle of the action, it's your quiet, peaceful escape that is far enough removed from the hustle and bustle but close enough to enjoy when you want.

The Unbound Collection by Hyatt are one-of-a-kind hotels that allow open-minded travelers a thoughtful curation of stories worth collecting. Magma Resort Santorini is a place to reconnect with your inner wellbeing.

Our Room

During our stay at Magma Santorini, we stayed in a King Sea View Plunge Pool room. All of the rooms and suites at Magma offer incredible views of the Aegean Sea. The 59 guest rooms and suites all feature sublime architecture that connects the treasures of nature with minimal elements. It's worth noting that all the accommodations offer Nespresso® machine with coffee and tea facilities, complimentary Wi-Fi, LED TV with screen mirroring function, individually controlled heat and air-conditioning, walk-in shower, hairdryer, bathrobes, iron / ironing board (upon request), wardrobe with safe, access to gym, and 24h room service (fee).

The King Bed Sea View Plunge Pool is 30 sq m, offering a king-bed with endless views to the Resort, introducing modern comfort, exclusive design and relaxed ambience with a private pool.

The room had a private terrace with a table for 2, a couple of sun beds and a plunge pool. The pools currently aren't heated, but we spoke to the management of the resort and they said they are adding heaters next year.

The bathroom was one room with toilet, shower and vanity. The texture and use of materials in the bathroom was amazing from the countertop, to the concrete walls to the wooden shower floor.

The hotel features their own local brand of Greek toiletries.

Amenities

Magma Resort Santorini's amenities include the main pool, Lava Spa & Wellness center and on-site restaurant.

Lava Spa & Wellness center features the spa with indoor heated pool, sauna & steam room and the fitness center.

Charter an experience of wellbeing at our state-of-the-art Wellness Center and subterranean Spa, discover signature treatments and step into a journey of self-realization and rejuvenation.

The spa only has 3 treatment rooms, one of which can be a couples room or 2 individuals.

During our stay we enjoyed a massage as well as the use of the spa facilities. Both were a great experience. The therapists were very nice, friendly, professional and well practiced. Since they haven't had many guests they are still working out a few kinks with the spa.

The fitness center is equipped with 2 treadmills, an elliptical, a stationary bike, a rowing machine, some free weights, a weight machine and an area to do yoga. Personally we think the gym has plenty of room to add a few more pieces of equipment and we passed along our feedback to the resort.

The hotel is working on offering a complimentary shuttle service into Fira and Oia. It hasn't launched yet, but they are hoping to launch next season.

Dining

When you think of food and beverage in Santorini you probably think of traditional greek cuisine such as greek salad, tomatokeftedes, Feta Me Meli, Gyros and more. Well, Spondi by Magma is a new gastronomic destination on the island blending traditional Greek cuisine with modern cooking techniques and ingredients.

A passion-driven culinary concept designed around the earth’s bounty. A dining accomplishment, unraveling in cohesion with the five senses leading to the road of Haute gastronomy. An unfolding discovery from the vision of art, listening to what cannot be told.

This is the hotels main restaurant where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. If you book through Hyatt Privé this is where the complimentary breakfast can be enjoyed.

During our stay we enjoyed breakfast each morning and since it was included for our Hyatt Privé stay, it saved us about $90 USD each day. To be honest a lot of hotels and resorts struggle to execute breakfast well and Spondi by Magma had a fantastic breakfast. They have a small buffet as well as an a la carte menu.

Service

From the moment we were dropped off at Magma Resort Santorini, we were greeted by friendly, helpful and smiling staff. They truly made an effort to get to know us during our stay. We never had to wait very long during meals to order things or for them to come back and check on us. The one thing we will tell you is that when in Greece, don't be in a hurry for meals. They aren't going to move very quickly and they are meant to be enjoyed.

Housekeeping was very efficient and thorough each day. We loved coming back to the room being "perfect” after a day out exploring. And no they didn’t forget to make the bed. The throw on the bed is to tell the story of lava (Magma).

Overall Impression

The boutique and intimate Magma Resort Santorini will allow you to get some rest and relaxation in since you're note in the action and tourist packed Oia. But you're still close enough to do shopping, sight seeing, wine tasting and all of the many things that Santorini has to offer. While this is a new resort (just opened 60 days ago), they are quickly figuring things out and are eager to welcome guests next seasons with an even more complete and well oiled machine.

Extra Perks

And don’t forget, when you book Magma Resort Santorini with Live Luxe Travel Co., through our Hyatt Privé partnership, you’ll receive a $100 USD equivalent resort credit (once per stay, conversion rate is determined by the resort) to use on dining or spa treatments, daily breakfast for two, a confirmed one category room upgrade (if available, confirmed within 24-48 hours of booking) and a welcome amenity.

Located among the mangroves of the magical Riviera Maya about an hour and 45 minutes from Cancun International Airport and 25 minutes from Tulum, ancient roots and a future-focused commitment to sustainability blend in a mesmerizing dance at this new resort. 

Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya opened earlier this year and has 349 guest rooms and suites. The room and suites are housed in 6 houses (or buildings) that create an arc around a cove and beach area. This new luxury resort truly has something for everyone.

Seek serenity in the luxury spa, savor sea-to-table cuisine at the resort's 11 restaurants, or discover your sense of wonder relaxing in the sun. And the Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya features an expansive fitness center, cycling studio and yoga room to work off those extra calories. 

If you’re traveling with kiddos, the Conrad Tulum has a kids club and teens club along with babysitting services available for an additional fee. 

This review is based on our personal stay in September of 2022. And don’t forget, if you are planning to stay at Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya book through Live Luxe Travel Co. to take advantage of exclusive Hilton Impresario benefits such as hotel/resort credits, daily breakfast, room upgrades and more.

Our Room

During our stay we occupied the 1 Bedroom Governors Suite. Take in sweeping beach and ocean views from the top floor of the hotel. This 1,565 sq. ft. suite features floor-to-ceiling windows and a spacious living room with comfortable sectional and armchairs. Enjoy a meal at the dining table for 8 and prepare drinks at the adjacent kitchenette and bar. The large bedroom offers a seating area and sumptuous king-sized bed.

Enjoy a spa-like master bathroom with double sink, separate vanity, and wet room with free standing soaking tub and rainfall shower. A WC area is located on the living room near to the main entrance. Enjoy the ocean air from the balcony relaxation tub for two. The suite can connect to the adjacent two double bed guest room to make a two-bedroom suite. Other amenities include a Nespresso machine, 65-inch HDTV, ample closet, and safe.

Amenities

The resort features a MASSIVE fitness center. In addition to the fitness room, there are glass sectioned-off rooms are available privately for yoga and spin classes. And the property features walking miles of walking trails in case you want to get some cardio in outdoors. 

The spa at the Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya is just gorgeous. And it's the perfect place to spend a day treating yourself, taking care of yourself and forgetting about the rest of the world. The spa is constructed from natural rock and timbers from the region. The central lounge is designed like a cenote, with sunlight flooding in through a huge opening in the dome, which hits different sun-beds throughout the day. The treatment rooms are casitas and are extremely well designed and relaxing, setting the tone for your treatment. 

During our stay, the hardest decision we had to make was which of the 5 pools or the beach were we going to post up at for the day. 

Dining

And when it comes to the restaurants, there are plenty of options for your every craving. The open kitchen breakfast at Arbolea was one of our favorite hotel breakfasts. Evening cocktails at Ultramar had an immense energy with the live DJ. Dinner at Maratea transported us to Greece. And grabbing an afternoon coffee or post-workout smoothie at Cafétal offered the fuel we needed. 

Breakfast at Arbolea was incredible. If you’re looking for a breakfast spread, they have you covered. There was a French Toast/Pancake station, an Oatmeal station, eggs made to order, Avocado Toast station, Chilaquiles station, Tamales and Quesadilla station, and more. Plus there is a whole spread of cold cuts, cheeses, yogurt, cereal, pastries and fruit. 

Service

We will be honest and upfront that we were a bit apprehensive about the service we’d experience at the Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya. Why?

We’ve stayed at a couple of underwhelming Conrad Hotels and Resorts. But our concerns were nothing more than that. The service at the Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya is some of the best we’ve had in Mexico. The staff to guest ratio is extremely high and every staff member we interacted with was friendly, helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. 

Overall Impression

The Conrad Tulum is your sanctuary of wonders on the Riviera Maya coast. And you might ask what makes the Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya different from the hundreds of other resorts in Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Riviera Maya and Tulum?

This newcomer has enough going for it to keep you easily entertained for a week but it has a refined and boutique feel. You'll never feel like you are at a massive resort factory. Plus it draws regional influence to give you a sense of place and make you feel like you're in Mexico. 

This five-star luxury resort is the perfect destination for a family getaway, couples getaway, honeymoon, or a friends trip.

The entire experience from beginning to end was nothing short of perfect.

Extra Perks

And don’t forget, when you book Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya with Live Luxe Travel Co., through Hilton Impresario, you’ll receive value added benefits such as hotel/resort credits, daily breakfast, room upgrades and more.

Six Senses Zighy Bay - Review

Our Verdict

Six Senses Zighy Bay - Review

Escape to the hidden jewel of Oman, Six Senses Zighy Bay. This resort is nestled in Oman's dramatic Musandam Peninsula where rugged mountain peaks dive into crystal clear waters. This village-inspired resort in Oman offers luxurious accommodations in a range of villas, suites and beachfront retreats. Each accommodation offers a private pool, traditional summer house and plenty of space to spread out and relax. This luxury oasis offers something for everyone including unique dining with both local and international cuisine featuring locally grown organic ingredients, an amazing spa and more than 30 unique experiences.

At Six Senses Zighy Bay you will be free from the distractions of life. Six Senses properties are all about reinvigorating your senses and that's just what a stay at Zighy Bay will do for you. Take time to disconnect so you can reconnect with yourself and with others.

Zighy Bay is located 120 kilometres or 120 minutes drive from Dubai International Airport, which is the gateway city to Six Senses Zighy Bay. Guests have a choice of arrival experiences which include a scenic fifteen-minute speed boat trip or a drive down from the top of the hill overlooking the bay. For an additional charge, guests can choose to be a companion passenger with the Six Senses professional para-glider!

In total, the 82 suites, villas and beachfront retreats at Six Senses Zighy Bay are traditional Omani style with modern amenities. With pops of color, the cool interiors lead out to private pool areas with cobblestone walls, sun loungers and shaded summer houses.

Whether you stay in a one-bedroom accommodation, a multiple bedroom accommodation or an extraordinary villa, they all offer a spacious and personal environment with rustic chic décor, and bathrooms extending to an outdoor shower.

Marhaba means “welcome” in Arabic. And a warm marhaba greets you at Six Senses Zighy Bay which is set between the Hajar Mountains and the sea. If you're looking for an unforgettable experience, you've come to the right place.

This review is based on our personal stay in March of 2022. If you are planning to stay at Six Senses Zighy Bay, book through Live Luxe Travel Co. to take advantage of exclusive Virtuoso benefits like a room upgrade (if available at check-in), full daily breakfast for two guests per bedroom, a complimentary 50-minute massage for up to two guests per room (once during stay), early check-in/late check-out, subject to availability and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Our Room

Talk about VIP treatment, during our stay at Zighy Bay we got to stay in the Private Reserve. Located at the secluded end of Zighy Bay, tucked up against the mountain, on its own stretch of private beach, The Private Reserve has been carefully designed to reflect the traditional local Omani architecture.

The exclusive entrance leads to an open court which overlooks the three buildings that make this a true Arabian Palace of Wonders. With its four bedrooms, the Private Reserve - the largest of its type in the Middle East – offers a variety of separate living and dining room areas for entertaining, a wine cellar, staff quarters, a 60 feet (17 meters) infinity swimming pool and a 24x7 GEM (Guest Experience Maker).

The master bedroom on the second floor was our home during our stay. It featured a large living room with balcony, the separate bedroom, large closet/changing room, full bathroom with copper bathtub, and an outdoor shower.

All of the accommodations at Six Senses Zighy Bay include the following amenities: individually controlled air-conditioning and ceiling fans, working and dressing table, private wine cellar, personal safe, hairdryer and espresso machine, IDD telephone, wireless internet and cordless phone, tea and coffee making facilities, CD, DVD Home Integrated Theatre System, flat panel TV with satellite TV channels, oversized bathtubs, large daybeds, private sun lounge and outdoor dining suite, infinity-edged pools, and more.

Most of the bath products you find at Six Senses are created with natural and sustainable ingredients. In fact, the bar soap is created on property at The Earth Lab.

Amenities

Perhaps one of the best amenities at Six Senses Zighy Bay is the 1 mile of pristine white sandy beach that the resort sits on. And if the beach isn't for you, there is a large fresh water swimming pool with poolside service, offering meals, beverages and homemade ice creams. Or perhaps you'd prefer to take a dip in the 100-foot salt water pool, the only one in the Gulf with Roman steps and a swim-round island.

Is wellness important to you? The resort features a well-equipped fitness center, outdoor jungle gym and outdoor yoga pavillion. And if you're interested, there are wellness programs to improve your movement, stamina and tone.

And it wouldn't be a true Six Senses experience without the Six Senses Spa. The spa features 9 treatment rooms, a relaxation lounge, two Arabian hammams (bathhouse), steam room, sauna and ice cave within male and female changing rooms, and an Alchemy Bar. One really cool thing about Six Senses Spas is that they have the latest technology combined with local traditional healing techniques.

Whether you want a simple treatment like a massage, facial, or a more personalize and comprehensive program such as one focused on wellness, sleep, detox or immunity booster, this is the place to connect with yourself.

During our stay we had a 60 minute massage and it was one of the top five massages we've ever had. The therapist tailored the massage from start to finish to exactly what each of us needed. During the treatment, silicone cups, hot stones and warm compresses are used, depending on the individual’s needs.

Another great amenity of Six Senses Zighy Bay is their activities center that is located adjacent to the lobby. The setting of Zighy Bay is ripe for adventure and thrill seekers. Activities include: paragliding, microlight, village trek, a visit to a local farm in the neighboring town of Dibba, handline fishing, a sunset cruise, snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, archery and more.

During our stay we were very adventurous and went paragliding. One minute you’re on the launch pad (next to Sense on the Edge Restaurant) at 960 feet above sea level. And the next minute you’re soaring through the sky before gently descending to the soft sandy Zighy beach below. The flight time is dependent on current conditions but lasts on average about 5 minutes.

The pilot made sure we were comfortable during our flight and even helped us take some great photos!

We also went out on a traditional Dhahab Dhow (Oman boat) for a day trip. The trip included swimming, drinks, lunch and beautiful scenic views.

Dining

The culinary program at Six Senses Zighy Bay celebrates unique, fresh and local ingredients. Some of the ingredients are grown on property at the organic garden and a majority of the rest come from a farm in the neighboring city of Dibba.

Six Senses Zighy Bay has six food and beverage outlets on property. Summer House serving contemporary international cuisine (open for lunch, bites, drinks and dinner), Spice Market serving delicacies of Arabic origins (open for breakfast and dinner), Sense on the Edge serving Spanish inspired cuisine (open for dinner), Zighy Bar serving drinks and bites (open from (9:30 pm to Midnight), Shua Shack serving traditional lamb cooked in the sand (open for lunch & dinner), and the Wine Cellar serving pairing menus (open for private dinners).

For breakfast one morning, we had a private in-villa breakfast which was incredible. It was like the breakfast buffet at Spice Market that was brought to our villa. There was fresh fruit, charcuterie, a variety of pastries, breakfast meats, quiche, fresh made yogurts, a juice bar, a coffee bar and more.

Both the food and the service at the in-villa breakfast were incredible. If you wanted things that weren't on the buffet such as eggs made to order or anything special, the staff was very accommodating.

For lunch we dined at Shua Shack which offers an incredible view while your feet rest in the sand. The service during lunch at Shua Shack was superb. We didn't feel rushed and we were well attended to.

Our favorite meal we had at Zighy Bay was the Asian Street Food night. This was setup near Summer House and included a variety of stations where chefs were preparing dishes made to order. There was sushi, Pad Thai, fried rice, duck soup, a kabob station, a dessert bar and more.

Breakfast at Spice Market is a must! This breakfast buffet has a little bit of everything. Even the pickiest of eaters will find something here. You'll find traditional Arabic dishes, the most delicious fresh baked Zaatar croissants, fresh fruit, fresh juices, freshly made yogurts including plant based yogurt, an egg station, and more.

Service

Sustainability is a the heart of what Six Senses does. This is no different at Zighy Bay. Zighy Bay is big on reducing waste by grinding up glass and repurposing it, creating their own soap in the Earth Lab, and eliminating plastics. Six Senses Zighy Bay actually employs a full time sustainability officer to continue to make the resort more and more sustainable and self sufficient.

Six Senses Zighy Bay actually pulls water from the ocean, puts it through a filtration process and creates their own fresh drinking water. This infrastructure not only supports the resort, but also treats water for the neighboring village adjacent to the resort. At Six Senses you'll improve your own health and the health of the planet.

Service at Six Senses is personal, connected and catered to each individual guest. Service that is emotional and truly helps you reawaken your senses is just what you'll get.

All of the staff including our GEM (Guest Experience Maker) really treated us like family and made an effort to get to know us.

Overall Impression

From the moment you arrive until the moment you leave, you will experience your senses. You'll leave stimulated, energized and resorted. The

Six Senses brand strives to embody a passion for wellness, community, sustainable design and smiles. And after staying at our first Six Senses, we can't wait to visit another property.

Extra Perks

And don’t forget, when you book Six Senses Zighy Bay with Live Luxe Travel Co., through our Virtuoso partnership, you’ll receive a room upgrade (if available at check-in), full breakfast daily for two guests per bedroom, in restaurant or via In-Room Dining, complimentary 50-minute massage per person, for up to two guests per room (once during stay), early check-in/late check-out, subject to availability and complimentary Wi-Fi.

The Kimpton brand is all about an experience as unique as you are. And from the moment you arrive at Kimpton St Honoré, that’s what you're going to experience. The hotel is crafted from the finest marble, brass fixtures, crafted hardwood floors, beautifully appointed furniture and more.

Our Room

During our stay at Kimpton St Honoré, we wanted a super luxurious and spacious weekend in Paris, so we stayed in La Suite Honoré (presidential suite). Not just Suite Honoré, but all of the guest rooms and suites feel like your Parisian apartment. The 123 guest rooms and 26 suites all feature Art-Deco inspired interiors. And it's worth noting that all accommodations features a wireless Bang & Olufsen speaker, Codage Paris bath amenities, TV with Chromecast technology​, espresso machines with coffee pods from local roastery Lomi Paris, electric hot water kettle with Kusmi Tea products, bottled still and sparkling water and a minibar with gourmet local treats.

La Suite Honoré features a large dining room table with a small kitchen, living room, powder bath, an oversized bedroom with sitting area, a wide bathroom with free standing tub and rain shower and a large walk-in closet.

This suite is over 1,100 square feet (110 square meters) and features a wrap around balcony with views of the Opera across the street from the dining room and living room and the Eiffel tower from the bedroom and bathroom.

La Suite Honoré is a true one bedroom suite that offers a sperate bedroom and living area. The living area features a couch, two chairs, a flat-screen TV with Chromecast, a desk and a minibar.

The bathroom in Suite Honoré is incredibly large. It has a free-standing tub that has a view of the Eiffel Tower as it sparkles at night. The bathroom also has a double vanity, a large walk-in shower with rain head and a separate toilet area.

The entire hotel features Codage Paris toiletries which are quite nice. Codage is a local French brand of cosmetics that is all about natural, clean and environmentally friendly ingredients.

Amenities

Kimpton St Honoré offers plenty of amenities for everyone, including a lower level that houses the fitness center, indoor pool, sauna, steam room and the Codage spa.

Codage Spa at Kimpton St Honoré is one of the newest luxury spas in Paris. Find some time for yourself and indulge in the ultimate treat at this luxury spa in partnership with CODAGE Paris. You’ll enjoy tailor-made treatments by their highly trained therapists to help accentuate your individual beauty with expert advice on your skin’s needs.

All the products in the spa are formulated and made in CODAGE’s laboratory located in the South of France. In fact during our first stay, we went for a facial at Codage Spa and purchased MyCodage which was a personalized prescription made on demand after a complete skin diagnosis. The facial serum is custom blended to your unique needs, lifestyle and the environment in which you live in.

We'd highly recommend a visit to Codage during your stay for either a treatment or for MyCodage.

The fitness center is open 24-hours and even though it's quite small, it has plenty of equipment and space to get a great workout in. The TechnoGym equipment is state-of-the-art and even includes some fitness classes.

The hotel also offers complimentary made-in-France Jitensha bicycles (classic and electric models available) that you can take out for a pedal around the city.

Dining

When you think of food in Paris, you probably think of Michelin star restaurants and traditional French cuisine. Well if that's what you're looking for you might be disappointed, but let us be the first to tell you that Montecito Restaurant and Bar is the first America's West Coast inspired restaurant that brings something new and exciting to the city. Monteciot is your California getaway in the heart of Paris.

You can expect lush greenery and casual-chic colorful plates, all executed with a Californian flair, to exacting French techniques. Delectable craft cocktails and live music add the final touch to an evening of California dream.

This is the hotels main restaurant where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. If you book through IHG Luxury & Lifestyle or Virtuoso, this is where the complimentary breakfast can be enjoyed.

During our stay we enjoyed breakfast each morning and since it was included for our IHG Luxury & Lifestyle stay, it saved us about $90 USD each day. We tried the huevos rancheros, and the breakfast sandwich. Both of these dishes are not your typical American breakfast, they have a contemporary twist to them.

If you're looking for a fun night out in Paris, make sure you stop by Montecito for Kimpton social hour and enjoy a complimentary drink by presenting your room key. Most nights of the week, they have a DJ, colored lights and a whole low-key chill vibe.

The other food and beverage outlet at Kimpton St Honoré is Sequoia Rooftop Bar. Sequoia offers iconic 360-degree views of Central Paris, which will make you feel like you're living a fairytale. The views of the city are like none other. Rooftop bars aren't very common in Paris, so this is the perfect place for the most Instagramable photo, the perfect proposal or just a romantic moment with your significant other.

Now back to Montecito. For dinner we had a family style dinner with lots of dishes to share including: lobster pasta, tuna wontons, tomahawk steak, macaroni and cheese, and more.

Insider tip: order the lobster linguini, you'll thank us later.

Service

From the moment we arrived curb-side to Kimpton St Honoré, we were greeted with friendly smiles, and helpful, personal service. The check-in process was quick and easy, we were even escorted to our room.

And after a long day of flying, we ordered in-room dining and the team wanted it to be special so they gave us a dinner with a view of The Opera in our suite. The in-room dining staff was very attentive and made sure we had everything that we needed. And after a long day of traveling a quick good meal was just what we needed.

The staff at Montecito was very attentive and quick to make sure we had what we needed during breakfast, dinner and social hour.

Housekeeping was very efficient and thorough each day. We loved coming back to the room being "perfect” after a day exploring the city and shopping.

The only challenge we encountered was with the concierge. They were pretty slow to respond to requests and we asked them to book our return transportation from the hotel back to the airport. The morning we were departing the transfer never showed up and we ended up having to have the reception staff call a taxi. We've spoken to the team about these issues and they are working on improving their responsiveness and follow through.

Kimpton is all about staying human and making connections and that's exactly how we felt during our stay.

Overall Impression

The luxurious Kimpton St Honoré Paris allows you to live out all your wildest Parisian dreams. The location being close to Opera, Place Vendome and Galleries Lafayette makes for great shopping. The service, the food, the rooftop, the amenities and the accommodations will have you not wanting to leave. This might be a bold statement to make, but this is the best Kimpton property and an amazing luxury lifestyle offering in a city filled with classic, over-the-top hotels.

Extra Perks

And don’t forget, when you book Kimpton St Honoré Paris with Live Luxe Travel Co., through our IHG Luxury & Lifestyle partnership, you’ll receive a $100 hotel credit to use on dining, daily breakfast for two, a room upgrade and a welcome amenity.

Both the architecture and interiors of the accommodations blend contemporary and modern design with local and natural materials. Each accommodation celebrates local artisans with unique furnishings, textiles and carved wooden walls by revered artist Manuel Felguérez.

During our stay we stayed in a Mangrove Studio with Plunge Pool. Even though, this is the entry level room category it packs a wow factor.

And if the pool isn’t for you there is a gorgeous beach with cabanas that are first come, first serve. A couple of shaded lounge areas to rest and relax and a beachside restaurant and bar.

Sana, an Auberge Spa delivers an unparalleled healing space inspired by its surroundings. Sana features seperate men’s and women’s locker rooms and facilities that include a cenote, steam, sauna, sound, and clay rooms and outdoor spa pool and jacuzzi.

Indulge yourself on a guided journey of the spa facilities whether you’re having a treatment or not. The spa facilities are available for use by all guests, they just require an appointment.

During our stay we participated in a guided journey starting with 10 minutes in the steam room. The spa attendant placed eucalyptus salt into the steam source and in 10 minutes returned to guide us to the next step. The next step on our journey was 10 minutes in the sauna where the attendant placed cucumber slices over our eyes and a chilled towel over our face. The second to last step was participating in a sound healing ritual which was quite nice. With our eyes closed the sounds brought southing thoughts that made the stresses of everyday life disappear. And we finished our journey with a soak in the cenote.

The whole experience of staying at an Auberge Resorts Collection property is all about the journey and Sana is no different. All of the treatments at Sana offer innovative Mayan healing practices, therapies for energy dispersion, and modern self-care.

Dining

The culinary program at Etéreo celebrates renewal throughout the journey. With menus built to connect, native ingredients are utilized to pique interest in the flavors of Mexico for both locals and visitors alike.

Etéreo has 5 food and beverage outlets on property. Itzam is their main restaurant open for breakfast and dinner. El Carrito (a cart) offers complimentary coffee in the morning along with a selection of pastries and in the evening offers evening cocktails.

Itzam is the main restaurant which serves breakfast and dinner. Itzam’s menu is conscientiously focused on local products that are both sustainable and organic.

The service during both breakfast and dinner at Itzam was very quick, through and efficient. We never felt rushed, but we did feel well attended to.

Itzam has a great view of the beach and the ocean making for the perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal.

For breakfast we tried the chilaquiles one morning which were excellent. And another morning we tried their gourmet oatmeal.

Dinner at Itzam….

Alberca which is the poolside menu offers light bights and fresh cocktails using the freshest ingredients. At the pool we enjoyed tacos and the blue fin tuna bowl. The portions were enough to fill you up, but light enough to enjoy the rest of the afternoon at the pool.

Che Che is the other restaurant at Etéreo. Currently it’s only open for the pool menu which we enjoyed for dinner one night as an early dinner.

If you're looking for the best catch of the day prepared in many ways, check out El Changarro. El Changarro offers in-the-sand dining for lunch. The menu focuses on the daily local catch served in myriad ways – as ceviche, tacos or simply grilled and accompanied by market vegetables. Guacamole, daily tortas, Mexican session beers and fresh juices make for complementary additions.

Service

Etéreo is our casa away from home. From the moment we met the first staff member at the Cancun airport, everyone we encountered during our stay made an effort to make sure we were well taken care of. I mean the staff even brought us towels to the hot tub so we didn't have to get out all dripping wet.

Every wish is your command at Etéreo.
