Hotel Destination Voila!

Consider a moment where you just did not have alot of monetary funds to pack a suitcase- hop on a plane to a remote island and just sun bathe yourself senseless. I know. It just does not seem like a vacation or a get away unless your "somewhere" other than your living room. How about a weekend retreat Hotel style?

Many Hotels offer that weekend get away and can include some really great weekend package deals.

Marriott Hotels offer such packages at great costs and often include amenities:

Escape! Romance package Elegantly simple. Simply elegant.
• Champagne for a private toast
• Breakfast for two

Escape! Honeymoon packagePampering and dreams for two.
• Breakfast for two
• Champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries
• Extras – free parking, late checkout

Escape! His 'n Hers packageGolf and spa! A stroke of genius.
• A round of golf for one
• A luxury spa treatment for the other
• Breakfast for both

Interested in something more upscale and dazzling? Why not try The Ritz or one of my favorites- Fairmont Hotels which offer packages in exotic destinations- or even from your own city! That get away doesn't really have to be far from home- but a destination in your mind!

Bed and Breakfasts

What is the difference between a Bed and Breakfast and Hotel? In my opinion which I do have many of- it would be the level of Personal Service as well as amenities in more of a home comfort type atmosphere.

In my personal experiences as a Travel Consultant- Destination Specialist I have found that visiting a Bed and Breakfast is a must at least once. Most of these types of accomodations are family owned and very intimate in detail and services. Some offer breakfast, some may offer tea times, and perhaps a little cocktail get together with you and other guests. Most offer quaint facilities in areas that are easy to get around town for shopping and dining pleasures, or perhaps just for the intake of beautiful scenery.

So if your looking for more than the average Hotel stay- and long for more one on one attention to detail- give a Bed and Breakfast a try! Turn Down Service will never be the same!

Viva Las Vegas!

What happens in Vegas - Stays in Vegas is the motto- yet it never fails because anyone and everyone that goes to Vegas always comes back with a story of what they did or where they went. Vegas is one of the top ten in destinations because of it's abundancy in nightlife as well as low key adventures.
Vegas offers many things to do which range from Casinos, to top notch shows which may include but not limited too- Cirque du Soleil, Blue Man Group, Prince and many more starlit shows for your entertainment. When your not wanting to see a live show- take in the sights of the Las Vegas strip, or visit one of the many hotels to check out the architectural designs and or dazzling light shows like that of the famed Bellagio Hotel. Thinking about popping the question to that someone special? How about doing it Italian Style by proposing on one of the gondola rides at the famed Venetian Hotel?
Vegas caters to adventure whether it be race car driving, hot air ballooning, or even roller coaster riding inside the New York- New York hotel over a replica of New York Harbor. Food abounds in Las Vegas to cater to every budget and palate- ranging from foot long hot dogs, to multiple food buffets and gourmet dining. Think Big when contemplating Vegas!
