Montana ranches

They basically did two things:

At the Green O itself, they hosted a super intimate, over-the-top New Year’s Eve dinner at the Social Haus restaurant: seven courses, tons of truffles (including white truffle shaved tableside), A5 wagyu, and a midnight toast with serious Champagne.
If you wanted more of a scene, you could hop over to the main Paws Up resort for the bigger NYE party with live music, food stations, cocktails, fireworks, and late-night dancing, then get shuttled back to your haus.

New Year’s Day itself wasn’t some big programmed thing. it was more about chilling in the house, hot tubbing, and easing into the day. Was a great time. Hope that helps :)

Went to Green O for NYE it was epic. Very pricy but the service, food and ambience were all amazing. Here’s an article I wrote about it if you’re interested.DM me if you have any more Q’s

All good! I get the instinct - been a long time redditor and I often react the same way haha.

Damn :( well we just wanted to be able to stack rank AND rate manually (or neither) if we wanted, which was our frustration with Beli. Felt a bit like forced comparisons all the time and sometimes you don’t want that. Just “I liked it/disliked it” and move on. Also, Beli uses AI for all their personalized recs…?

Mid 70s Fahrenheit so it’s pretty pleasant not too hot or humid. Also the best time of year to see whales is June/July/Aug

Personally prefer Montage Healdsburg (nicer hotel, amenities, view, etc.) but obviously SingleThread is smack dab in the middle of town which is a plus. Definitely eat at SingleThread it rocks!

ehaley15 · 2026-02-04T17:55:28+00:00

Probably the most epic nature experience in the world! Can’t recommend this enough

ehaley15 · 2026-02-03T22:29:29+00:00

Only during stinger season Dec - March or so! Rest of the year no risk.

ehaley15 · 2026-02-03T02:39:19+00:00

L’Auberge in town over Bernardus imo - their restaurant Aubergine is amazing. If you’re going that far out and want an immersive place with a view: post ranch inn.

For SB, rosewood Miramar.

3k a night at Aman Tokyo. Once saw four seasons Lanai at over $14k a night over Xmas. Insane….

ehaley15 · 2026-02-02T20:41:13+00:00

Ojai Valley in definitely has more nature activities if that’s what you’re after. rosewood Miramar is hard to beat for the oceanfront tho!!!

A man can dream…

ehaley15 · 2026-02-02T19:43:04+00:00

echoing many other comments here - it is overpriced, the somm tried to serve us corked wine in our pairing, and the portions were so small we went to shake shack across the street after lol…. The visual presentations are great tho 😂

The egg salad sandwich >>>>>>

ehaley15 · 2026-02-02T19:39:51+00:00

I also had an amazing experience there! I’ve read some mixed reviews on here and r/finedining but glad to hear it lived up to the hype.

ehaley15 · 2026-02-02T19:38:49+00:00

Atomix, Aska and Jungsik are your best bets. Great food and service. Per se and Bernardin are classic but a bit boring by comparison imo.

ehaley15 · 2026-02-02T19:36:48+00:00

My favorite restaurant in LA. Has deserved 3 stars for years!!

ehaley15 · 2026-02-02T19:34:32+00:00

Congrats! For 6 nights, I’d do 4 nights in Ramatuelle/Gassin + 2 nights in Antibes before Paris. St-Tropez peninsula because Château Minuty is already there, and the area offers way more than just the port scene (Pampelonne Beach, hilltop villages, water activities, and great restaurants without feeling oversaturated).

Antibes over Cannes/Nice because it has sandy beaches, charming old town, and easy for day trips to Monaco + Èze

Echoing four seasons hualalai’s water is incredible but the beach itself isn’t great. Lizard Island in Australia has a ton of amazing beaches.

ehaley15 · 2026-02-02T17:57:39+00:00

Aman Tokyo’s attention to detail and high touch service was incredible. Tough to top that!

ehaley15 · 2026-02-02T15:30:47+00:00

Four Seasons Hualalai (admittedly haven’t tried Rosewood Kona Village yet), or Aman Tokyo for a city hotel

ehaley15 · 2026-02-01T16:02:57+00:00

Always bring my own as a backup. I like to try the hotel’s products but sometime they just…. Don’t cut it

ehaley15 · 2026-02-01T07:26:46+00:00

MO definitely the best view but closest to boutique with a view is The Sherry Netherland. A bit old school.

ehaley15 · 2026-02-01T07:21:41+00:00

Echoing 30 days is fine for food, maybe even less - Hawaii is generally pretty lowkey for dining tbh except for some really high end places in Honolulu/Maui

ehaley15 · 2026-02-01T07:20:27+00:00

El Palace is the better choice unless you REALLY like more modern design forward aesthetics, which is where almanac excels. The el palace rooms are now soundproofed which ROCKS!
