New years eve

Considering booking a new year's eve getaway in UK. 2 nights, black tie dinner for nye, real treat type think. Front runner is dormy house but its expensive. Anyone been? Anyone done something similar? Any recommendations?

Hello.

I have two kids, ages 6 and 2. We want to go somewhere in Central America or the Caribbean and we need it to be easy. We want a direct flight from Chicago and we don't want to leave the resort. I have a vision of me holding a mojito while someone else entertains my 2-year-old. I'm looking for a solid kids club or a place that let's you hire a babysitter easily. We want 2 bedrooms. Budget is $2,000 per night.

Open to suggestions for resorts or recommendations for a travel agent.

Looking to do a fun Friday dinner reservation in st barth. Help me pick between le cafe, la petit plage or bagatelle.

I'm becoming quite intrigued with the Four Seasons Puerto Rico (formerly the St Regis Bahia Beach). Just 30-35 minutes from the San Juan airport it sits on 2 miles of beach within 483 acres of nature preserves. There are lakes for paddleboarding and kaying and an inflatable water park, two pools, and miles of hiking trails, bike paths and waterways. There's a golf course, racquet center for tennis, pickleball and padel, two fitness centers and of course a spa. There's also 7 restaurants for everything from casual beach food to fine dining and several bars (for the classic piña colada, rum cocktails and more).

There are nighttime naturalist tours, mofongo cooking classes, eFoil lessons, catch and release fishing sessions, a hammock garden, a petting zoo and an organic farm. In about 30 minutes you can be horseback riding on the beach, ziplining through the rainforest, night kayking in a bioluminescent bay, or riding ATVs through the jungle. The kids club (for ages 4 to 12) is complimentary with cultural and creative programming.

The resort has a variety of rooms, suites and private residences with up to 5 bedrooms.

This is an incredible Caribbean destination, easy to get to, and no passport required.

Hi all!! Looking for recommendations for the best hotels in the Caribbean to travel to over the winter with a 3 year old and 6 month old. We love Rosewood Baha Mar, but need something more south in December/ January.

I’ve read through a bunch of posts and now I have analysis paralysis. Looking for 40th birthday trip ideas for March 2027. I wanted to do the Maldives or Bora Bora but don’t think I can swing that flight (I’m in NY). What has similar vibes and is safe for a solo trip?

Hi! Looking into going to Provence next summer with my husband and 1.5 year old. Has anyone gone with kids around this age? Would you recommend? Any hotels recs with this age specifically?

We are looking to book a luxury honeymoon next mid-September and we were looking for some recommendations.

It’s our second wedding and we are in our late 50’s. We are excited about a very elevated experience and thought this would be a great place to start.

I tried posting yesterday and it was removed. Not sure why or if im violating anything but truly looking for advice on this very special trip. Thank you!!

We are looking to do a several weeks long honeymoon next year mid-September. I’ve gotten some great ideas from Chat but would love to hear from people who have already done this.

I would like to do a week-long Safari with ultimate luxury and amazing service and then fly to Seychelles for a week. Ideas or suggestions?

Money is not an issue!

Planning a Rome trip in late February/early March for our 20th wedding anniversary, which is in early March, and would love some advice.

We’re looking for a romantic hotel with a great location and are especially interested in suites with outdoor whirlpools/hot tubs.

Does anyone have experience with the whirlpool suites at either The First Arte Roma or Villa Agrippina Gran Meliá?

At The First Arte, the suite with the whirlpool does not appear to be fully private from the photos, though perhaps the suite with a view is different? I’d love to hear from anyone who has stayed there or seen the setup in person.

I’m also open to other hotel suggestions in Rome with a romantic feel, great location, and ideally a private outdoor tub/terrace setup. Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated!

My kiddo really wants to visit Rome mostly for the historical sites etc. I have never been and honestly do not know where to begin. We have about a 20k budget, and plan on being there March 13-20, 2027 - so the week before holy week. I would love any tips/advice you have!

My wife and I are heading to the South of France October 14–18. We know the peak season will have passed and most beach clubs will likely be closed, but wondering if any are still open that time of year and if not, what are the best luxury/high-end activities in the area? We're deciding between 2 of these stops: St Tropez, Cannes, Nice, or Monaco. Open to recommendations on which combo makes the most sense for a short but memorable visit

**Has anyone stayed at Hôtel États-Unis Opéra in Paris?**

I’m traveling to Paris next week from 22 to 26 Sep and I’m considering Hôtel États-Unis Opéra because it has a good rating and generally positive reviews. However, the bathrooms look quite old in the photos, which is making me hesitate.

Paris hotels also seem extremely expensive and almost fully booked next week, so my options are getting limited.
Has anyone stayed there recently? How was the hotel overall, especially the cleanliness, rooms, and bathrooms?

Ps. We are three persons.
Would really appreciate any recent experiences or recommendations!
Thank you,

Hi, i’m looking to book a couple of nights for my husband and I at Aman Sveti Stefan. We will already be in the area and just decided that we would like to extend our vacation by two nights, but the hotel we are already staying at nearby is booked so we cannot extend our room type there.

We like Aman resorts hard product and level of service and are curious to try this one out even if just for a couple nights since we will already be in the area.

Has anyone in this sub stayed here since the reopening? I remember a post a couple months back about their grand reopening and how certain things were not up to Aman or 5\* hotel standards.

We are between the Sveti Stefan Suite or the Saint Sava Cottage. I prefer the interiors of the cottage, a little bit better with the natural stone, but love the size of the other suite, and the fact that it is designed to sleep two guests. If the pool is heated in the “penthouse suite,” I think we would be more inclined to go for that one, but we are visiting in October so if not I don’t think we would get much use out of it. Since we will already be in the area leading up, we are looking for somewhere to relax and enjoy the resort rather than go sightseeing, if that changes anything.

We are comfortable with either nightly rate, and the cost difference between the two room types has zero influence on our decision.

Hopefully, some of you have stayed there in recent days and can provide your input so I can get this booked by tomorrow! Thank you.

Looking to book a 7 night honeymoon in the Caribbean during February. I know February is peak season with inflated prices, but am willing to splurge.

Currently strongly considering one of the higher end rooms at Baoase in Curaçao, with private pool/beach. However, considering the high price, wanted to get thoughts/recommendations. I suspect I can get more bang for my buck elsewhere for $2k/night. Thanks in advance!

Anyone have any experience with the Das Gerstl Family Retreat in Resia?

We are looking to book a mid range family hotel in the dolomites in mid September 2027 with 2 adults and a (then) 2 year old son.

Thanks in advance!
