This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

Always enjoy the hotel reviews, and this one was fantastic. As always, your attention to all the little details you comment on makes your videos stand out from others. Let me add to your pet peeve because it's beginning to become mine as well. We as a family checked into a Holiday Inn (Australia) to celebrate my parents' special wedding anniversary in March, booked through IHG and used loyalty points + pay (so they knew we would be coming AND could easily contact me), mentioned prior that it was a special occasion and requested a cake to be in their room on arrival along with sparkling wine. Went to the restaurant to make a booking for the celebration dinner the following night only to be told that the restaurant was closed for dinner both nights of our stay due to a conference, no issue we would do lunch then, nope closed for lunch and dinner both days AND no room service was available, add to our misery try getting a local restaurant open on a Monday night, l was not happy!! Repeat performance at a Novotel (Australia) over Easter, the only restaurant was closed at 5pm (once again for a function) we found this out only after going down to enjoy a pre dinner drink, no big deal we would have a couple of drinks then just order room service you guessed it none of that either because of the function. At no point on booking, check-in, or pre arrival interaction, did anyone mention restaurant closures or room service unavailable. A simple email in advance (given conferences and weddings are booked months if not a year in advance) so guests can make alternative arrangements would be common sense if not just common courtesy.

I’ve not been, buts it’s always been on my short list. That said, I’ve heard mixed reviews. I **think** it may fit into the same ‘category’ as the Ritz Carlton Samui in that, it caters quite a bit to program loyalists and redemption bookings. Properties like this I always find to be impressive from a far, but underwhelming up close. The views from Conrad are certainly stunning but even in room tours I’ve seen on KZfaq… the content creators are always gushing over how incredible it is to have a private pool villa and bc of that they don’t notice how… cookie cutter it looks.

Many have disagreed with me but personally I do not think there are any circumstances where $1000+/night is warranted in VN (for a 1BR villa/room). At some point, it’s just a silly money grab. When Con Dao goes on sale for around $650 or less, I’d be happy to try it out.

@tfft
@tfft 9 ай бұрын
No I never have them at home. Actually, I only eat breakfast when I’m on the road lol. As far as breakfast dishes go, I feel Eggs Bene and French Toast can say A LOT about a kitchen’s skill level, technique and creativity. Eggs: Properly runny yolk? Properly emulsified Hollaindaise? (Also easy to see short cuts here since there are many ‘quick’ ways to make something that is hollaindaise-like). Also, Is it a proper English muffin? A sad ‘English muffin’ or something else totally different and creative? French Toast: It’s very easy to make, but the quality of bread is a big factor. Also, is it a tried and true recipe? Or something totally creative? Something reflective of the region? A lot of the time I only have one night at a property I’m reviewing, so I need to get as much info out of as few dishes as possible to be able to comment on the full food program- dishes like these help a lot with that. I used to often do the same with Caesar salads but too many people kept complaining about Caesar salads in every video 😅

I thought that once or twice, but then realised that he doesn't always travel alone (ordered 3 meals in a restaurant) and on another occasion had booked two rooms (he mentioned needing them being near each other) this would definitely throw Hotels off especially if his companions/friends/family booked the room or it was booked in another guests name when using points as part of a loyalty program so l think Kevin is cleverly disguised 🥸 (his names probably Jack 😉)

And, the number of meals or rooms I show/talk about isn’t always the actual number had 😂. Gotta stay 18 steps ahead!

Samui's Best? Don't agree! That would be the Four Seasons!! Six Senses has much nicer resorts, i.e. Koh Yao Noi, Zighy Bay, or Con Dao!

Kevin, I appreciate your commentary but one is not a mountain goat at the age of 75 years. I want to stay at Koh Samui & Phuket but no hills thankyou. Your suggestions would be grateful. Take Care. Regards John Mc ( Would like to be near Shops and maybe somewhere to have a Beer or 2 with my Future wife.) We are just looking around before we fly to Singapore then onto Brisbane Australia. We will then get married a settle in Australia.

They surely have buggies available 24/7. Happy to help with itinerary planning, but out of respect for those on Patreon who pay me for such advise, I'd need to limit my answers to private messages there. My Roamer level is created just for this sort of thing. Thanks!

@johnmac4843 business owner*. I could say a lot about you with your disrespectful attitude and entitled expectation that the world owes you their knowledge and skills free of charge, but I suspect it wouldn’t be worth the breath. Enjoy your wedding.

If you ask for likes,comments and subscription then aren't you asking for the very thing you are trying to avoid 😆 in the pursuit of providing genuine reviews. At some point, you're going to receive special treatment in some locations thirsting for folks like you.

Reminds me very much of Santhiya on Koh Phangan. Although the scenery is beautiful, the hills, the steps and waiting for the carts to take you around become tiresome quickly. I would recommend a few nights at best, don't make the mistake of staying a full week.
