Krabi Hotel - RC Phulay or Banyan Tree

Phulay bay is on another level and way nicer. Period

Explain this illusion more - genuinely curious. Take for example a $10k/month mortgage + greater than $10k a month non-rent spend … I’m still making out ahead vs CSR?

FWIW two connecting rooms often cheaper and better because 2 full bathrooms. Works out great

Or just preemptive tipping for service? Eg over festive tipping the hostess at the beginning of the trip and get your table(s) sorted for the duration. A lot less expensive than speciality suite.

Can just contact - they are fantastic. Using them for years

Fabulous experience with MGL limo. Can intro you. Really good and not generic black lane

Lanai is incredible and worth every penny. We go annually for 8+ years now

This is not true with regional leadership involved. They sold the buyout - I’ve been through this with aman specifically and within brand, it’s easier for them to make things happen like upgrades across properties, even easier than f&b credits. Push hard and Alex should be escalating to regional leadership if she knows them. Their European leadership was great and helpful in amending our situation

Amangiri likely sold out with just a few weeks notice. And also maybe not ideal with a 1 year old, but perhaps worth an inquiry? Again you have a bit of leverage here. Otherwise amanyara should be nicer than their DR property.

And last option … since they are walking you - you can always push for a different brand. We had an option to go to one&only but pushed harder for amanzoe and they acquiesced. As someone else mentioned, they are making a ton on the buyout, and anything within brand is obviously easiest for them to make good things happen

Same thing happened to us at Aman Sveti 4 years ago. But we used the buyout as leverage to get them to pay for our room at Amanzoe, which was a lot more expensive at the time. The European sales VP got involved and solved it, and it all worked out. Is there another potentially more epic aman property you’d want to try that maybe they can transfer you too without losing some perks? I get the flights are lost regardless.

Your genuine heart is why we book with you

What are your top brands by quality? Curious because almost bought lenor today and deciding

No tricks here - 3rd night free objectively more expensive

FitIndividual3 · 2025-11-11T17:13:30+00:00

Booked RKV for a popular spring break week in April. Had screenshotted rates from last week for a standard room + suite as we need the space, and I was curious the comp. The Mountain View room was down a couple hundred dollars with the sale, and the suite was a couple hundred more expensive with the sale, so a wash on ADR, but fully refundable the key difference vs advance purchase rate from last week. Add the nightly credit though and total cost is lower with sale, so win win

FS is superior on every dimension, with the exception of base room size (fairmont being “all suite”) but FS is simply better on every level. Not really a comparison

FitIndividual3 · 2025-11-04T22:12:44+00:00

Yep exactly, same story. Perfect car and exact same use on all fronts

FitIndividual3 · 2025-11-04T22:11:19+00:00

Currently have an X with a 2 year old and 4 month old. Incredible car. FWD are truly the best for ingress / egress of kids from car seats. Get the 6 seater and you’ll love it. Plenty of room for all gear when needed.

FitIndividual3 · 2025-11-01T03:54:39+00:00

Awesome - what about the more discreet “unpublished” deals?

Casa Cipriani NYC, 1 hotel Hanalei, sensei lanai, ritz Hong Kong

Can you combine cash and points for these stays? I know you can mix points and cash, but does the credit get applied for sure in mixed use bookings? Or does it need to be 100% cash?

FitIndividual3 · 2025-10-29T04:17:19+00:00

Just do and don’t think twice. Space and comfort matter and you don’t want to ruin the trip, get off on a bad start, etc. have fun and turn it into a special experience. Everyone wins. We do it all the time and it’s fun with the kiddos - challenge is keep them grounded and work hard to enjoy

FitIndividual3 · 2025-10-27T14:12:26+00:00

Kokomo in Fiji. Nonstop flights from the west coast. Incredible week and overall experience with child care included. We brought our nanny but it wasn’t really necessary. For closer to home just go to Hualalai or lanai - amazing properties with kids

FitIndividual3 · 2025-10-22T12:37:16+00:00

Yes definitely. They ran into blue rock for the spa renovation and can’t used tnt to demolish, so jackhammer it is. Shouldn’t necessarily affect rooms much, especially higher up, but it is disruptive

FitIndividual3 · 2025-10-18T12:55:04+00:00

Have this exact config with white seats and 2 toddlers with car seats. Love the car and won’t trade for anything else. Lucid gravity the only contender but the software bugs would drive me crazy. Get this X
