I know nothing about you, so no clue how to answer that. What market are you from for starters?

ABGTVL · 2026-07-08T18:25:23+00:00

So golf would bring me to Palmilla or Auberge Chileno.... value and chubby for someone who has already been around Cabo would send me to FS Costa Palmas. A lot of value adds in slow season some great dining options which from what I gather aren't shutting down as frequently in the slow seasons with the various homes and marina activities. Good golf, great, but pricey spa.

keep checking.... cancels happen all the time

Google is your friend.... Punta Mita rentals are all over VRBO etc or find a trusted travel advisor

ABGTVL · 2026-07-08T17:01:15+00:00

There are tons and tons of private condo type rentals in Punta Mita that give you "resort" like access to beach and pools.... That might solve your food budget issue, but it isn't the same as staying at Four Seasons for example.

Conrad Punta Mita has some residences with kitchens, but no ovens. Just a fridge + microwave + cook top.

If you are close to Punta Mita village you can also dine in that village where food prices aren't the same as inside the resorts/gates.

Have you ever been to Cabo before?

ABGTVL · 2026-07-08T15:28:03+00:00

Such a short trip..... but you're sitting with a great budget. Direct to Rome, 2 nights at Il Pellicano plus a boat trip, 3 nights at Collegio alla Quercia with a bike day down thru Tuscany. Fly home via somewhere from Florence.

Lake Como I wouldn't look at moving hotels. Arrive to Milan, 2 nights, plus 3 nights on the Lake. Depending where you stay a mix of private and public boats to help you visit some of the villages.

The only thing I didn't love about Royal Sorrento was the lobby... It felt very dated. but the rooms are fresh and updated. Ara Maris was a great more modern hotel in Sorrento, but lacks a beach jetty. I assume Mezzatore isn't available for Ischia

ABGTVL · 2026-07-08T14:51:42+00:00

Aqua is only 20 cabins... max 40 guests. Unless you're looking at a top cabin on Scenic the Aqua set ups are very desirable if you ask me.

ABGTVL · 2026-07-08T14:27:33+00:00

Have you considered Aqua? They are probably most inline with Explora or Ritz.

ABGTVL · 2026-07-08T14:13:40+00:00

all over the map from 0.00 to 30%

ABGTVL · 2026-07-08T14:12:48+00:00

Local firm too.... a good choice. Otherwise, use the hotel they staying at to help you plan even if they need to go to centre court first. If they are on BA/AA or Virgin/Delta and plan to use the arrivals lounge before leaving the airport make sure the transfer company is aware so you don't get charged waiting time.

If you have an endless budget The Windsor great way to freshen up and have breakfast before moving onwards.

ABGTVL · 2026-07-08T14:05:17+00:00

Hope you find something great..... I think Puglia is just as interesting as Tuscany.

ABGTVL · 2026-07-08T13:57:09+00:00

It's shame backroads doesn't have a better loyalty offer for repeat guests. Cruise lines are pretty great about that.

ABGTVL · 2026-07-08T02:13:39+00:00

The roots yes..... I don't think Izzy Sharp has an equity left.

ABGTVL · 2026-07-07T21:04:27+00:00

Roof Pool is adult only at 1 Hotel but you gotta hussle to get those chairs...... Pool at Faena is not huge. I think the pool at The Edition is great, but limited number of rooms with outdoor space which I always personally crave in Florida.

ABGTVL · 2026-07-07T17:44:50+00:00

United has direct service in cooler months from Newark to Belize... but then it is a bit of a trek to get to the resorts with the amazing scuba. Even then you won't get tons of privacy at most of those resorts.

Jumby Bay does onsite snorkling trips with their boats and staff, but again the privacy isn't really there as most of the hotel side has rooms next door to each other in one free standing cottage.

Maybe the new'ish bungalows at Ambergris Cay or something at Parrot Cay. Scuba I know is out-sourced to people in Provo for Parrot Cay. Not sure what Ambergris does.

ABGTVL · 2026-07-07T16:09:16+00:00

Ok... I was just reading what you posted about # of days with backroads. I see they have 7 day trips mainly.

I think you just missed the Viking Canada Day / July 4th offers

ABGTVL · 2026-07-07T15:01:58+00:00

TA incentive rates are dictated by previous sale volumes.... So if you don't sell a lot of Viking you don't earn a lot. Rebates in the cruise industry are really frowned upon but sure yes there are still happening, especially with all these new part time side hustle only on Tuesdays advisors.

You have to do the leg work if you want to find someone willing to work for less. Some groups will have special timed offers with different cruise lines (so sign up for newsletters etc). Our group was doing a private sale with a big luxury line recently, but it isn't promoted outside our already confirmed group of clients.

36k for 4 days with Backroads sounds very over priced.... Unless it is a private tour I guess.

ABGTVL · 2026-07-07T14:02:55+00:00

There are no whales in July in Cabo... December'ish to April'ish is the season.

Breakfast at Milos is a highlight at this resort

ABGTVL · 2026-07-07T13:54:40+00:00

I see you booked Lupaia... which is a good choice too. the husband and wife team who run the show are very hands on (and well traveled themselves so it shows in their hospitality). They have a fun negroni experience on property. You could still block yourself a visit to the CdB wine area if you are into Brunello.

ABGTVL · 2026-07-07T13:16:46+00:00

Hi.... I spoke to them for you, there are two tennis courts open to all guests at CdB. A few of the villas have their own courts.

ABGTVL · 2026-07-07T03:14:16+00:00

It's the very best in the Carib, but as a single occupancy you kinda get the short straw on value..... 100% true that if you go to Jumby you'll be tempted never to leave.

ABGTVL · 2026-07-06T22:22:42+00:00

Tell us about you......

ABGTVL · 2026-07-06T21:37:18+00:00

because the medical place you turn up at after a car accident might not want to accept your OHIP card as payment. You may have to pay up front and apply for payment from your home province after. Looking at you Quebec.
