After a few days in Split, we took the ferry to our last stop of the trip, Dubrovnik. I was excited to stay at the Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik because of its location just outside of Dubrovnik’s Old Town near the entrance at the Pile Gate. The hotel was built as the Grand Hotel Imperial in…
Zagreb wasn’t initially a stop on my Croatia itinerary. With less than a week to visit, I was eager to head to Split and Dubrovnik right away. I’m glad I was able to squeeze in one night in Zagreb. Staying at the Canopy by Hilton made the experience even more enjoyable. Here’s my review of…
I normally think of Hilton hotels as a reliable option usually in the business district of a city with not much creativity in terms of design. The Hilton Lima Miraflores blew this opinion out of the water! The hotel has a beautiful design, great location, and a standout executive lounge. Here’s my review of the…
If going to the Maldives isn’t enough for your bucket list, how about eating at the world’s first underwater restaurant? Getting to dine at Ithaa Underwater Restaurant at the Conrad Maldives is one of the perks of staying there. The domed restaurant is located 16 feet below sea level. You might see a stingray or…
After spending four amazing days at the Conrad Maldives, we headed back to Singapore for the last night of our honeymoon. We had already spent two nights at the InterContinental Singapore prior to heading the Maldives, but decided to check out the Conrad Singapore for our last night. As Diamond members, we were excited about…
The Maldives is one of the most aspirational destinations, especially for those in the points and miles game. Getting to stay at a resort that costs upwards of a thousand dollars a night on points is one of the best redemptions out there. Of course, there are unavoidable fees like the transfer to the airport…
We travel to New York City about once per year so I’ve tried out a few of the points and miles hotel options. I wanted to stay at the Conrad New York Downtown this time to take advantage of the Diamond perks like free breakfast. Since this property used to be an Embassy Suites, all…
Last summer I wrote about the Hilton Grand Vacations timeshare offer I received when calling Hilton about an existing reservation. It took me over a year to actually book our trip to Las Vegas, and yes I actually received a phone call from HGV every business day from July 2018 until I booked it. Here’s…
I’ve been lucky that almost all of my points and miles redemptions have gone off without complication. It seems that the only time I have any trouble is when it comes to redeeming Hilton Free Weekend Night certificates. I wrote about one bad experience here where Hilton charged my credit card $920 to buy points…
Well, they got me again. I recently called Hilton to make a change to a reservation for our honeymoon, and I was transferred to the Hilton Grand Vacations line. Last time, I got a 3-night stay at Parc Soleil in Orlando and a $200 Spend A Night on Us rebate offer for about $20 out-of-pocket.…
