Where we've been lately...
We are both ‘those' kinds of people. The ones who feel completely at home inside a hotel room, love living out of a suitcase, and could spend hours online looking at suite reviews.
Here are some of the hotels we have been to recently! You will find each one has a pros/cons list, usually a video room tour, what makes it different from other hotels, and tons of photos from our stay!

Hyatt Extends Closure Of 7 Major Resorts In Jamaica Until Late 2026
Well, folks, we have good news and bad news… As we reported earlier here at Travel Off Path, Jamaica is set to reopen for business December 15th after Hurricane Melissa battered much of the northern coast. As a result, the country has been a bit of a seesaw in terms of whether it's okay to visit before the country officially embraces tourism again this week (assuming this date won't be
Velas Vallarta Review: The Perfect Blend Of Classic Service & Modern Comfort In Puerto Vallarta
In a travel world obsessed with brand-new, sprawling “mega-resorts,” it's a fair question for a savvy traveler: is a 35-year-old resort still a top-tier choice? Or is it a dated icon past its prime? Here at Travel Off Path, we know that “legacy” can mean one of two things: “tired” or “perfected.” To find out which one applied to the iconic Velas Vallarta, we went to see for ourselves. After
Secrets St. Lucia Resort & Spa Review: Oceanfront Plunge Pools & Weekend Block Parties
Rather than follow the crowds to the hotspots we're all magnetized toward, why not give one of the Caribbean's trendiest islands a try? I'm glad I did. Offering a private white-sand cove to kick back and savor your own slice of paradise, remodeled rooms with oceanfront plunge pools where you're steps away from stunning sunsets, an impressive lineup of fine dining options, a world-class spa, and let's just say some
Hyatt Closes 8 All-Inclusive Jamaica Resorts Until January 31
As you've surely heard by now, Jamaica took a beating over the past week from unfortunately fatal Hurricane Melissa, the latest Caribbean storm that tourists have to keep an eye on year after year. Thanks to an advanced warning, many locals and vacationers were able to take shelter, but that doesn't mean there wasn't a horrendous mess left behind. As a result, there have been frequent travel alerts and advisories
AVA Resort Cancun Review: This Massive New Resort Actually Has A Heartbeat & Vibe
When you hear the stats on the new AVA Resort Cancun, a certain kind of skepticism is natural. With over 1,600 rooms, it is, by any definition, a truly massive property. For seasoned travelers, “massive” can often be a code word for long lines, impersonal service, and that dreaded “burn and churn” mentality where you feel more like a number than a guest. We at Travel Off Path have visited

Posh Stays & Stunning Nature: Idaho's Postcard Lake Town Is Breaking Summer Tourism Records
We all know potatoes are the best vegetable. There's no better example than the great state of Idaho, where no spud is a dud. We're talking french fries, sweet potato pies, overloaded baked potatoes, pillowy potato doughnuts, and of course, vodka. Boise may be Idaho's most notable name to pig out as its undoubtedly become one of America's trendiest cities, but it's not just epic eats and college sports' only
Hotel La Compañia Review: Hyatt Transforms Stunning 300-Year Ruins Into Perfect Old Town Hotel
We at Travel Off Path recently covered San Diego's new groundbreaking flight to Panama City via Copa Airlines, a historic feat 12 years in the making, according to San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria. With their popular Stopover Program, travelers have the chance to spend as long as a full week in Panama before venturing off to some of my favorite destinations that were formerly a headache to reach before Copa
Vibrant Culture & No Summer Crowds: Unveiling California's Most Underrated City
As one of America’s largest states, California is home to some of the country’s biggest icons and, conversely, some tight-lipped secrets. Whether it be fairytale beach towns, lush state parks, or major cities somehow flying under the radar, there’s no denying California’s appeal for all types of travelers. As a 10-year “Golden State” resident, there’s one city I’ve always heard described as “boring”, but after a recent trip, I can attest it’s
