Trip Styler has reviewed 65+ hotels since January, 2010. Here are my top five picks & why...
Soronbon Beach Resort {Bonaire}
[trip style = beach + sun + budget conscious]
Why? “To describe Sorobon as ‘basic beachfront bliss’ doesn't even do it justice. The warm staff and well-kept facilities make it feel as though you’re visiting your friend’s island outpost.”
Wilson Island {Great Barrier Reef}
[trip style = beach + sun + glamping + luxe]
Why? "Picture a place where fine wines mingle with coral sand, gourmet fare compliments shabby island-chic decor and each morning you wake up looking out toward an ocean that sparkles. Wilson is an off-the-grid, 6-tent, eco-retreat that’s worth the splurge."
The Parker Palm Springs
[trip style = sun + luxe]
Why? "Old Hollywood meets new Hollywood from the design to the clientele to the property's heli-pad. The Parker is a hotel hideaway where guests can escape or be seen."
Mara Safari Club
[trip style = safari + sun + glamping + luxe]
Why? “The scenery you see in the Mara is like you are watching a National Geographic high-def program, but it’s real, and you’re part of the show! Coupled with the luxury tent rooms {aka glamping} and service at the Mara Safari Club, this trip was one of the highlights of my travel experiences!”
The Fairmont Pacific Rim {Vancouver}
[trips style = urban + luxe]
Why? “It is indeed a hotel for the discerning traveler displaying the utmost taste in design, staff, fare and facilities.”
The Saguaro {Scottsdale}
[trips style = sun + weekend getaway]
Why? “Picture a contemporary art gallery where stark white walls and pops of color commingle like a rainbow with Pantone precision.”
