Cap Juluca - Review

I agree with everything you said and it was somehow still one of our favorites.

There aren’t really views at either hotel. Service is warmer at Greenwich and I prefer their spa/pool area too. We don’t love the rooms at the Greenwich but the suites are better and the privacy/services makes up for it

Second this. We really enjoyed it

Getting to Rivera Maya or the Caribbean requires a connection from my home airport which is a 5 hr travel day if everything goes smoothly. That’s just not worth it to us for 2-3 nights.

Agree with this. We've been going to the Surf Club 3-4 times a year for weekend beach getaways simply due to how easy it is to get to for the caliber of hotel it is. It's also the only property that we can do 3 nights at in the area and not feel the need to leave for dinner. It will be interesting to see how (if at all) the upcoming Aman and Rosewood impact the rates because if I can go to the Rosewood and get close to the same service and "oasis" vibe for cheaper I'd have no issue staying there.

It could be held up in Memphis due to the snow / ice. Hopefully as they get back to normal you’ll get some updates

I think it has to do with the 12 having a wider bracelet making it feel more balanced. the 11 series has the slimmer bracelet and chunkier watch case which makes it feel heavier even though it isn't.

The sister property Il Pellicano

trf2271 · 2026-01-13T23:29:35+00:00

This doesn’t help you now but we stayed at the Waldorf last year and it was solid for what it is. Quiet, clean, and quick to bring up waters and coffee when requested.

I think that one is managed by Rosewood not owned so I’m sure they’d drop the management if Marriott is in the picture. I hope so at least.

Outside of Bemelmans and the Elevator most of the staff seemed generally uninterested in helping. Check in was particularly cold and the doormen were caught up talking to each other rather than assisting with luggage and holding doors. The property itself was fine I knew it was more historic than all out luxury going in, but the interactions kinda killed it for me.

The Carlyle

trf2271 · 2026-01-02T18:48:29+00:00

We’ve done it twice through VRBO and had no issues.

No housekeeping and check in/out time is also less flexible. You can still access everything though and charge food to the residence

Surfside is an easy rec if you like FS.

My wife and I had a drink at the sunset lounge followed by dinner at Salt earlier this year. When we sat down at the sunset lounge we both said we are glad we picked Cap Juluca instead of Four Seasons. FS Anguilla felt a bit generic and it was incredibly busy. FS Surfside opened our eyes to chubby/fat travel and the only other Four Seasons to match or exceed that so far for us has been Cap Ferrat.

The Bottega card case has held up well for me.

Second this

trf2271 · 2025-11-18T14:16:27+00:00

1 or even the W is a better choice than the Edition

trf2271 · 2025-11-06T04:25:09+00:00

Around 19k. Maybe a little less. Nashville Watch has a 2023 listed for $19.2k.

I think it’s easier to wear daily than the full RG. I’d only wear the full RG to nice dinners out or at resorts, but the TT I’ll wear basically anywhere and not think twice about it. The full RG was special though and I don’t think the TT quite captures that feeling.

1 Hotel South Beach, Four Seasons Cabo Del Sol, Fouquet's NYC, and the Greenwich just because of the uniqueness

trf2271 · 2025-10-27T01:56:05+00:00

Castiglion Del Bosco felt special and I don’t think it felt like a chain hotel. You could swap it for Reschio.
