My travel style

I understand different types of tours and will recommend what fits the kind of holiday the traveler is looking for. For instance, for sightseeing and adventure packed itineraries, I recommend staying in a decent three-to-four-star property, as travelers are mostly outdoor exploring and hardly spend time in the hotels to appreciate the amenities – hence huge savings. Location is also key as most of these kinds of hotels are conveniently situated near public transportation or are accessible to most tour pickups. For more relaxing vacations and honeymoons, I recommend luxe five-star properties as travelers will likely spend 80-90% of their time in the hotel. Hence, they will have time to enjoy the property amenities like recreational facilities, spa, explore different restaurants or just chillin’ and sippin’ sundowner cocktails on the beach!
