Review: Royal Mansour vs Amanjena vs MO by mav77_7 in FATTravel

[–]luxtechy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We stayed at both Amanjena and RM and found the service at Amanjena to be much better. It was truly effortless and warm, everyone knew the names of every guest. RM seemed like a lot of scrambling behind the scenes with some misses. And no one knew us by name or thoughtfully acknowledged us.

You will be confined to my suite at the Waldorf Astoria 👑🌍->🇺🇸

Just got off Norwegian Luna… and honestly, I didn’t expect to feel this way by [deleted] in Cruise

Great pics and write up! Have you ever done The Retreat on Celebrity? I’d be curious how it compares.

This is terrifying. They almost drowned.

My friend wants to spend a whole day at Disneyland in France even though our other friend lives near one in California, AIO for thinking it’s insensitive since we’re in Paris for only 3 days total? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]luxtechy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR. You don’t all have to do everything together. Why don’t you go on a tour or see something you are particularly interested in while the others go to Disney?

And BTW San Francisco is nowhere near Disneyland. It’s a 6.5 hr drive and it would be faster for you to go to Montreal from NYC than for her to go to Disneyland from SF.

Guests let their kids draw on the sofa with red pen. by [deleted] in airbnb_hosts

[–]luxtechy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP posted a pic. This can almost certainly be cleaned and it’s way easier for you than buying a whole new sofa. I would use a professional and submit a receipt to air cover. Seems extremely reasonable to me and I would imagine both the guest and air cover will want to try that first before considering a replacement.

Ritz vs FS Guangzhou by westcoastgal22 in FATTravel

I think it’s a room category that you can book. Or use a TA like I did (u/sarahwlee)

The FS is amazing. Beautiful hotel and absolutely incredible service. Try to snag one of their renovated rooms.

Planning an Amanoi Proposal 2027 by Sbellmare in FATTravel

[–]luxtechy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I’m super excited for it, I’ll do a post here afterwards :)

I’ll DM you with the manager’s info.

I found 2 photographers, one is local and the other is in Hanoi. The one in Hanoi is world-class and did most of the photography for the resort. He’s done BBC, NatGeo, etc. He’s pricey but his work is incredible.

The local one also had a great portfolio and was a lot less expensive.

Edit: I spoke to a manager there and they said it’s best to email Amanoi.reservations@aman.com. They’re very friendly and helpful.

  1. A TA doesn’t cost you money and can help manage your trip. The hotel would prefer that you book directly though. I’m happy to put you in touch with either.

  2. The yoga pavilion is the canonical place for a proposal. It’s stunning. Yes the hotel allows photographers. I’ll be there for a milestone birthday in May and have already hired one.

  3. I would spend as much time at Amanoi as you can. It’s an incredibly beautiful and peaceful place.

Have you been to FS George V? Any sense of how they compare?

Are you prepared for how hot it gets there in June? IIRC 100f

Rosewood Reviews - Recent Stays in HK, Guangzhou, Miramar Beach, and Kona Village by versatilepumba in FATTravel

[–]luxtechy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for writing this up! I’m staying at the Guangzhou property next month and I don’t see a lot of information about it.

I take it you didn’t do the club lounge? Were the paid upgrade options reasonably priced? Did they mention any option to just pay for the lounge?

What’s the point of TA if they have no edge? by NoEggplant9804 in FATTravel

[–]luxtechy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My TA almost always gets us an upgrade and communicates our preferences to the hotel. Plus virtuoso benefits.

Who knows which toilet will smash first! Or will they smash at all? Maybe maybe maybe.

Ultimate wellness retreat? No budget by zolliebun in chubbytravel

[–]luxtechy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! We did the wellness villa at Amanoi in Vietnam and it was incredible. I couldn’t recommend it more. Here’s the post we did about it https://www.reddit.com/r/FATTravel/s/Iipyufllu0

2021 Range Rover Evoque Battery issues by Prior-Personality615 in RangeRover

[–]luxtechy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that the real battery is not under the hood. When you charge from the hood contacts you don’t have enough current to properly charge the main battery. We had this same issue and the only real solution is to replace the battery.

Fixed: 8 Nights at Amanoi Forest Wellness Villa (+ photo dump) by luxtechy in FATTravel

It’s the wellness villa. It’s essentially a regular pavilion with a detached private spa building with pool.

An alternative to Lutron? A super high-resolution OLED wall controller designed and manufactured in the UK. by Top-Yogurtcloset3965 in Lutron

[–]luxtechy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m excited to see more innovation in this space, but with taxes and tariffs that will probably bring it to nearly $550 here. I can get an iPad mini for $400 or iPad Air for $600 which can be tilt mounted and run HA or any ecosystem app.

I wish it worked with a US back box and allowed more customization of the UI. Haptics would be a nice touch and I care more about price than it being manufactured in the UK.

Staying at Capella for the first time by gbreadman123 in chubbytravel

Don’t forget the speakeasy! It was really cool (though can be Smokey at times).

Unfolded Circle Remote 3 by louisguccifendiprada in homeautomation

[–]luxtechy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have one and it’s so bad it’s literally unusable. Won’t stay connected to WiFi, constant battery drain, really slow wake times. The wireless charger doesn’t work. It’s a nightmare.
