hotel · London
The Savoy
The Savoy is one of those rare hotels that leaves a lasting impression long after checkout. The historic elegance, outstanding service, exceptional dining, and prime London location all contribute to an exceptional stay, but what truly sets the property apart is the way the staff make guests feel. Every interaction felt personal, warm, and genuine. Combined with a beautiful River View Suite overlooking the Thames and a New Year's Eve celebration spent watching London's fireworks with family, The Savoy delivered one of the most memorable hotel experiences we have ever had.

resort · Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman
The Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa
The Westin Grand Cayman is a resort that understands its greatest strength and leans into it. Seven Mile Beach is the centerpiece of the experience, and the resort makes it easy to enjoy with abundant seating, excellent access, and a relaxed atmosphere. While the property is beginning to show its age and the dining experience leaves room for improvement, the combination of location, beach quality, and friendly service creates a highly enjoyable stay.

resort · Waikoloa
Hilton Waikoloa Village
Hilton Waikoloa Village offers one of the most unique resort experiences we have encountered. The snorkel lagoon, marine life, ocean views, pools, and endless activities create an experience that few resorts can match. However, the property is also held back by transportation challenges, extensive walking, expensive pricing throughout the resort, and a location that relies heavily on the property itself for entertainment. Families looking for an activity-filled vacation will likely love it, but travelers seeking a seamless luxury experience may find the drawbacks more noticeable.
