Grand Pacific Hotel Suva’s Post

There are friends in all these hotels made by Forbes, for whom their properties are more than just hotels. They truly love their hotels and obsessed with them. That's why it is difficult for me to openly criticize or express my personal opinion about some of the "winning" categories in Forbes' article. Instead, I just want to mention two hotels that should never be forgotten when talking about the most unique All-Inclusive resorts or hotels in Punta Cana and its vicinity. These hotels OBJECTIVELY should be on any list: 1. Casa de Campo Resort & Villas – the best unique concept hotel. There is no other hotel like it, as it is part of the iconic Casa de Campo city, where you have the best and most expensive restaurants as a part of your AI package. Casa de Campo also known as the "City of Millionaires," where you might occasionally run into Bill Clinton, Shakira, J.Lo, and others. While it's not technically in Punta Cana, but rather in the La Romana region, if you include hotels from Uvero Alto, then Bayahibe should also be considered and included. 2. Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana by RCD Hotels – the best party or event hotel, or the best choice for special occasions. There is no other hotel like Hard Rock with its unique vibe, featuring the largest casino and, so far, the best nightclub. What do you think about Forbe's list? It will really be interesting to hear different opinions.

Hotel rooms are typically classified into several categories based on their size, amenities, and intended use. The main categories of hotels include transient, resort, and residential hotels. Transient hotels cater primarily to guests who are not permanent residents, offering rooms with private baths, telephones, radios, and televisions, along with services like laundry and valet. Resort hotels are luxury facilities aimed at vacationers, often located near attractions such as beaches or ski parks, and may operate seasonally or year-round. Residential hotels function similarly to apartment buildings, providing maid service and dining options, and range from luxurious to moderately priced accommodations.

When it comes to hotels, both free breakfast and WiFi are highly valued amenities, but according to various surveys and studies, free WiFi is often considered more important to hotel guests. Here's a breakdown: Free WiFi: - 84% of hotel guests consider free WiFi a top amenity (Hotel Technology Study) - 73% of travelers say WiFi is a must-have when choosing a hotel (Hilton Hotels & Resorts survey) - 61% of guests are more likely to choose a hotel with free WiFi over one without (Marriott International survey) Free Breakfast: - 69% of hotel guests consider free breakfast a top amenity (Hotel Technology Study) - 56% of travelers say breakfast is a must-have when choosing a hotel (Hilton Hotels & Resorts survey) - 45% of guests are more likely to choose a hotel with free breakfast over one without (Marriott International survey) While both amenities are important, free WiFi seems to have a slight edge, particularly among business travelers and younger generations. However, it's worth noting that free breakfast is still a highly valued amenity, especially among families and leisure travelers.

HOTEL STAR RATING Hotel star ratings typically range from 1 to 5 stars, with each star representing a different level of quality, service, and amenities offered by the hotel. Here's a general breakdown: 1-star hotels: Basic accommodations with limited services and amenities. These hotels are usually budget-friendly and provide the essentials for a short stay. 2-star hotels: Slightly better than 1-star hotels, offering modest accommodations and basic services such as housekeeping and possibly a simple breakfast. 3-star hotels: Mid-range hotels that offer more amenities and services compared to 1- and 2-star hotels. They usually feature comfortable rooms, on-site dining options, and additional facilities like fitness centers or swimming pools. 4-star hotels: Upscale hotels that provide high-quality accommodations, superior service, and a wide range of amenities. Guests can expect luxurious rooms, gourmet dining options, spa facilities, and personalized services. 5-star hotels: The highest level of luxury and sophistication in the hotel industry. 5-star hotels offer exquisite accommodations, top-notch service, fine dining experiences, and extensive leisure facilities, and often include additional services such as concierge assistance and chauffeur services. #Rating #hotelstarrating #hotelratings #lodge #hotel #lodgekonnect #typesofhoteltrating

What’s right (and wrong) with all-inclusive resorts in Los Cabos October 26, 2024 at 09:37AM https://ift.tt/bNd1gP6 https://ift.tt/XyOfAvd p.m.jpg Belgian Gérard Blitz invented the all-inclusive resort concept with Club Med in the early 1950s based on the idea that guests could better relax without constantly worrying about what everything cost. As the name all-inclusive suggests, the price covered food, drinks and accommodations, and guests knew about the arrangement before they agreed to the vacation. The model has since evolved, with adaptations often varying depending on the destination. In Los Cabos, for instance, all-inclusive resorts are usually more akin to luxury-class properties than to the budget-friendly variety. Indeed, all-inclusive properties like Grand Velas Los Cabos and Marquis Los Cabos are among the best resorts in the area, period.  What all-inclusive resorts look like in Los Cabos Pool scenery at Luis Cóppola’s landmark Hotel Finisterra; now the Sandos Finisterra. (Sandos Finisterra Los Cabos) The Los Cabos model has naturally led to a more expensive but higher-end form of the all-inclusive experience. Mediocre food, common at all-inclusive resorts in many other destinations, is much rarer in Los Cabos. In fact, the opposite is often true. Some of the best restaurants in Los Cabos, including the only one in the area to be awarded a coveted Michelin star — Cocina de Autor at Grand Velas Los Cabos — are found at all-inclusive resorts. However, it’s important to note that not everything is always included in all-inclusive plans. Some spa experiences or premium food and drink menu options may not be; although perhaps surprisingly, dinner at Cocina de Autor is included at Grand Velas. At Sandos Finisterra, a landmark Cabo San Lucas property that features breathtaking views, meals, and national drinks are all-inclusive approved, as are round-the-clock room service orders, swim-up cocktails, gym and tennis court access, and childcare available so parents can play.  When paired with drinks, the word “national” generally means domestically produced beer, wine and spirits. You can typically drink all the Corona, Modelo Especial or tequila-based margaritas you want,  but if you want a Bud Light or Tito’s Vodka, you may be out of luck or have to pay. Spa treatments, too, are almost always considered an extra. At Marquis Los Cabos, for example, the all-inclusive package does not cover pampering spa and beauty services at Spa Marquis and seven-course food and wine feasts at Canto del Mar. Family-friendly or adults-only are popular all-inclusive options Family-friendly all-inclusive options are increasingly popular in Los Cabos. (Hyatt) Two things Los Cabos all-inclusive resorts do very well is appeal to families and couples seeking a romantic getaway. The two aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive, either. Hyatt Ziva in San José del Cabo deserves special mention in this area thanks to its water park and Kidz Club,...

Hyatt Hotel is in exclusive talks to potentially acquire Playa Hotels & Resorts, a move that would significantly expand its presence in the upscale all-inclusive resort market across the Caribbean and Mexico.
