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!
This Cancun All-Inclusive Was Sold Out But Never Felt Crowded
Take it from me, someone who was watching Cancun's flight departure board like a hawk, that Mexico is indeed safe to visit after recent unexpected chaos. There's no need to rehash what gave vacationers south of the border a scare, but truth be told, I couldn't have been in better hands than Hilton Cancun Mar Caribe. It felt like a safe haven, even if the world outside seemed anything but.
Texas Is Building Massive New Waterfront Paradise With Name-Brand Resorts
Let's be honest — when it comes to the South, Florida is the first place that comes to mind when you're craving a relaxing waterfront paradise. While Texas has its fair share of coastal charmers that don't rhyme with Shalveston, the Lone Star State is more commonly known for its sprawling lakes, where boats and good times galore. You don't have to visit Nashville or Branson to get your honky-tonk
Palm Mountain Resort & Spa Review: A Crowd-Free Oasis In The Heart Of Palm Springs
Even Californians seek out warmer climates as the chilly coast ignites ‘hoodie weather’. There’s no better place for Vitamin D and summer attire than a quick road trip to Palm Springs, California’s sunniest city. This classic getaway, made famous by Hollywood's elite before the TMZ era, has long been the ultimate hideout for anyone looking to recharge under the beaming desert sun. Palm Springs is a throwback, where some would
These 4 Lesser-Known Hideaways Are Destined To Be Southern California's 2026 Hotspots
If you had to guess California's next hotspots, you'd likely think they're all lying along the coast. I mean, it is California after all… However, that's not entirely the case. Sticking with Southern California, we at Travel Off Path have put our heads together and dug deep into the far corners of the interwebs to unpack where travelers are heading next — and it's not the usual names like San
Sandos Cancun Review: This Classic All-Inclusive Resort Made A Massive Change In 2025
In the world of Cancun hospitality, longevity is rare. New resorts pop up every month, trying to steal the spotlight. But Sandos Cancun has been a staple of the Hotel Zone forever, racking up a staggering 18,000+ reviews on Google with a rock-solid 4.7 score. Numbers like that usually command respect. But we at Travel Off Path don’t trust algorithms; we trust experience. So, we checked in to see if
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.
