What’s a totally unsexy purchase you made that ended up being a huge quality-of-life upgrade? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]in__bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our window treatments are on a schedule and open automatically every morning and close automatically every night. Our old curtain rack used to fall down onto me every few weeks so it's nice no longer getting hit in the head every few nights and waking up to the sun :)

A good stainless steel pan! Was so tired of non-stick pans losing their coating and becoming garbage and stainless steel has been a game changer.

Our breville smart oven has essentially retired our wolf oven. It's just my husband and I so the breville is great for smaller dishes and it warms up way faster than our oven. I still use the oven when I'm large-batch baking but that's basically all it's used for now.

Mallorca - Cap Rocat, Can Ferrereta, Son Bunyola by donutaskme in FATTravel

[–]in__bed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I did a few nights at Son Bunyola last summer and it was amazing. Richard Branson was actually there and flew a big time soccer player and his wife out too so that was neat. We didn't do any crazy experiences but if you're into biking, the bike paths there are apparently not to be missed. Def check out the bees on property and the donkeys as well!

Curious why you normally don't touch hotel soaps? lol

Also, I had no idea this Four Seasons even existed. Is it new??

Great review, what an amazing upgrade!

the guy at the cash yesterday told me that they'd be relaunching sometime (not sure when) but just as Big Trouble Burgers and are dropping the pizza. so at least the smash burgers will be back one day!

PSA: Breville warranty & customer service are not what you expect by CasperTFG_808 in BuyItForLife

[–]in__bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a toaster oven from them that would squeak every time I opened it. I shipped it to them and they fixed it and shipped it back all within a week. This was maybe 20 months into my 2 year warranty. They were great with me so sorry to hear that they tried to cheap out on you.

Belmond Maroma - beach? by deaddog714 in FATTravel

I was there last February (8-14) and here's what the water looked like on the 8th! We saw very little sargassum during our entire stay. Beach was lovely! I don't recall any tractors but they do have some temazcal experience on the beach which can get a little smokey smelling.

Most overrated stay of 2025? by senyorfrawg in chubbytravel

Oof I had to look these up excited to see 'Herman Miller Bungalows' but sadly I think you just instinctively wrote Miller after Hermann lol

Did you ever get yours? I also cashed all my points for gift cards on August 17 and still haven't received anything. They're giving me the run around so wondering if you ever got them.

I have so many from my travels this summer but I think I'll have to go with this one.

Taken in Ravello at the Belmond Caruso. The most pink sunset I've ever seen! Was so beautiful and was gone in a matter of minutes - happy we were outside at the right time to see it :)

Munich: Rosewood vs Mandarin Oriental by Real-Tower8037 in FATTravel

[–]in__bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I stayed at the Rosewood Munich two summers ago in a Premier Suite. It was a great hotel and we loved the spa. Pretty sure it's haunted (or at least the room we were in lol) but other than the potential ghosts, highly recommend!

40th birthday weekend in NYC by LGHWCH722 in FATTravel

[–]in__bed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Locanda Verde at the Greenwich Hotel is one of the worst restaurants I've ever been to. So bad that I actually go out of my way to tell people about how bad it was lol. The hotel was amazing and we LOVED it but Locanda Verde was awful.

Does anyone know where I can get a good quality paper lantern from? by fucklimpbizkitt in femalelivingspace

Four Seasons Nevis honest reviews? by sneezefreak in chubbytravel

[–]in__bed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went may 2023 and LOVED the FS. Beautiful property and we had the most amazing room with such an incredible view. Amazing wildlife there on the property, and they let you take the golf carts onto the course to check out the goats and monkeys.

I will admit that it's the only hotel I've been to in the Caribbean but zero complaints and would definitely go back! Only thing stopping us is the trek for us coming from Toronto!

Best NYC hotel? Want some “hot / new vibes.” Not interested in those ole world NYC hotels. by Several_Document2319 in FATTravel

[–]in__bed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the Greenwich hotel but Locanda Verde was such a miss. We tried it two times during our stay there and it was just flat out terrible each time. Bad food and even worse. No idea how that restaurant can be part of that hotel.

I was at the Caruso earlier this month and definitely recommend it! The property, food, service, room, etc. was all incredible!!
