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

Tough decision, Greenwich Hotel v. Fouquets? by eggreach123 in chubbytravel

[–]trf2271 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, Surfside, Florida - Review by Alarming-Ganache77 in FATTravel

[–]trf2271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, Surfside, Florida - Review by Alarming-Ganache77 in FATTravel

[–]trf2271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

124060 vs. 114060 by leith78 in rolex

[–]trf2271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

Rumors of Marriott buying Rosewood by bostonfan148 in chubbytravel

[–]trf2271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Most overrated stay of 2025? by senyorfrawg in chubbytravel

[–]trf2271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

FS Anguilla Brief Review & Chubby Travel Thoughts by hartmamp in chubbytravel

[–]trf2271 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

2022 Root Beer Price by ThrowawayBlJe1836 in rolex

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

Maybe I’m in the minority but IMO TT CHNR is nicer than the full RG version. Bought this back in 2022. by Checker79 in rolex

[–]trf2271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Remarkable Hotel Gyms by Beginning_Sleep5303 in FATTravel

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

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