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!
The BEST All Inclusive in Mazatlán – Hotel Playa Mazatlan
The secret’s out. Mazatlán has been booming the last few years as tourists have been re-discovering the magical city known as ‘The Pearl of the Pacific’. Since I relocated to Mazatlán from Canada, I’ve had tons of people asking me for advice and recommendations on where to stay, what to do, and where to eat. Like any good travel journalist, I decided to do some research on the best hotels
Best Hotel in NYC under $100 – That You’ll Actually Want To Stay At
Manhattan is NOT CHEAP! Travelling the world has given me insight into hotels costs in different cities, and let me tell you, downtown NYC is one of the most expensive I’ve ever encountered!

However, I was determined to find

The Best Narita Airport Hotel (That’s Cheap Too!)
I think we can all agree, Tokyo is not known for its super affordable hotel rooms. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an incredible city, but it’s not going to come up on any Top 10 Most Budget Friendly lists anytime soon. Many people (especially with a quick stop!) will try and stay near Narita airport to save some cash, which is a wise move. Even if your goal is to
Almanity Hoi An – The Ultimate Wellness Resort in Vietnam
Visiting Hoi An is a magical experience. A walk through beautiful ancient town sends you back centuries in time. The sounds and smells of the bustling market, the colourful old colonial buildings and the backdrop of lanterns hanging overhead. It’s like no where else on Earth. However, compared to other cities Hoi An can still feel, well… a little ‘rustic’ shall we say. It’s still developing and some visitors might
Tugu Malang – Java's Best Kept Secret
Spending most of my time in hotels is something I wouldn’t change for the world, but I have to admit, it gets insanely repetitive. More and more hotels these days seem to be carbon copies of each other, lacking in any individuality. I’ve started to loathe staying in another ‘box’ of a room, just 4 walls and a bed. It’s the un-inspiring part of travel that I wish I could
Keio Plaza Hotel Review- Where To Stay in Tokyo
We only had 48 hours to explore Tokyo, so picking a hotel with the ultimate location became our top priority. Shinjuku and Shibuya are the best areas to stay in Tokyo, so we narrowed our search using only those locations. Once we set filters for a high guest rating, affordability, and non-shoebox rooms, only a few hotel choices remained. The Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo was one of the top results.
