Restaurant Review: La Sandwicherie (Miami)
It was my first time in Miami and based upon a friend’s recommendation, a few buddies and I ended up checking out La Sandwicherie. This turned out to definitely be the best decision of the trip! I decided to go with the Prosciutto and Fresh Mozzarella, and it ended up being absolutely to die for! Just look at the pic…a ...
Hotel Review: Blux 901, Medellin (Colombia)
“Great place to call home while in Medellin” Stayed at the Blux 901 luxury rental apartment for 8 days in November 2012 and would like to state how impressed I was by the overall experience. The apartment is situated within a beautiful, state of the art building with exceptional amenities such as a rooftop pool, gym, ...
Hotel Review: Arlington Place, Bogota (Colombia)
“Very pleased with overall stay” Initially had a bit of a hard time finding the location (taxi driver seemed to have a difficult time with the address), but once we arrived, all three of us traveling together were quite pleased with our accommodations. It was nice to have a modern, upscale room to return to ...
Hotel Review: Hotel Almirante, Cartagena (Colombia)
“Good hotel with nice amenities” After the nightmare we had trying to check into another hotel nearby, it was nice to settle into an hotel that met my expectations. Guests in other rooms may have differing opinions due to their location, but having been placed in the end room of the top floor provided us ...
Hostel Review: Hostal Casa Baluarte, Cartagena (Colombia)
“Pretty good amenities for the price” Considering the low cost, was expecting much worse (had been to a hostel earlier that was $5 cheaper/night but had no toilet seats, no shower head…just a pipe in the wall and sheets that looked way past their expiration date) but was pleasantly surprised as to the quaint environment. ...
Hotel Review: Tower House Suites, Panama City (Panama)
“Pleasant surprise!” I must admit that based on previous reviews and photos available, I wasn’t really expecting much, but I had found a pretty good price for a two night stay. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the room I was provided with was much different than the rooms I’d seen in other photos (that ...
Hotel Review: Outrigger Aina Nalu, Maui (Hawaii)
“My new home away from home” From the wonderful staff, to the awesome facilities, and of course its great location (a few short blocks from the heart of downtown Lahaina), the Aina Nalu has really done an amazing job in making sure their guests feel right at home. Their attention to detail really sets them ...
Hotel Review: Ibis Seoul Ambassador Hotel, Seoul (South Korea)
“Great Value for the Location” I stayed at the Ibis Ambassador for two nights in June 2012, and was very happy with my overall experience. As past reviewers have stated, the rooms are relatively small, but as I only needed a place to rest my head at night, the room was perfectly suited to my ...
Hostel Review: Lemon Spirit Hostel, Rio de Janeiro (BR)
“Awesome location and great staff!”I think the heading pretty much says it all. The best thing about the Lemon Spirit is definitely its proximity to the beach (only a block away). The thought of waking up, and making that quick stroll to Leblon beach still brings a smile to my face. The room I was ...
Hotel Review: Renaissance Jaragua Hotel and Casino, Santo Domingo (DR)
“Good service, but rooms could use a facelift”As stated above, the standout for this hotel is in its services. All the workers that I encountered at the Jaragua were quite friendly and more than willing to assist in any way possible. The primary reason I’m giving it 3, rather than 4 out of 5 is ...
