7 things I always request for my clients before they arrive at a luxury hotel (and you should too) 🛎️ The best stays start before you even check in. Here’s what I send every hotel before my clients land. 1️⃣ Tell them what you’re celebrating. A birthday, honeymoon or anniversary often gets you a cake, champagne or a decorated room. 2️⃣ Ask for a better room location. High floor, sunset side, quiet and away from the elevator. Connecting rooms if you’re travelling as a family. 3️⃣ Request early check-in or late checkout. It’s much easier to arrange in advance than at the front desk. 4️⃣ Confirm the bed setup. King or two beds, a crib or extra bed, and the pillow menu if they have one. 5️⃣ Flag allergies and dietary needs. They get shared with every restaurant, so you don’t have to explain at every meal. 6️⃣ Send your flight details. They’ll time your car or seaplane to your arrival, and some hotels will do check-in in your room. 7️⃣ Book dinners and spa early. The best tables and treatment slots sell out before you land. When you book with me, I send all of this for you. DM me “ARRIVAL.” Booking with Voyager Guru costs you nothing extra, you just get more. Save this for your next trip 🤍 #luxurytravel #luxuryhotels #traveltips

5 red flags in a “too good to be true” luxury deal 🚩 That price looks amazing... until you read the fine print. Here’s what to check before you book. 1️⃣ Transfers aren’t included. In the Maldives, a seaplane can add $1,000+ per person. 2️⃣ The meal plan is vague. “All-inclusive” might mean one buffet and house drinks. 3️⃣ It’s the worst room in the category. The cheapest price is often the garden view by the generator. (Or a “pool view” like mine in slide 4 😅) 4️⃣ Taxes and fees come later. A per-night price that leaves out 20–30% isn’t the real price. 5️⃣ It’s non-refundable with no flexibility. Cheap until plans change. Got a deal you’re not sure about? DM me “DEALS” and I’ll check it for you. Booking with Voyager Guru costs you nothing extra, you just get more. Save this for when you’re ready to plan 🤍 #traveldeals #luxurytravel #travelhacks #traveltips #maldives

Hyatt Privé: the perks most people don’t know they can get 🥂 Booking a Park Hyatt, Andaz or Alila? You could be getting a lot more for the same price.

Join me for a tour of Water Villa 412 at @nivavelassarumaldives! Water villas are usually my preference over beach villas and that’s definitely true for me here! The lagoon views and lots of windows make this such a beautiful place to relax. #maldives #nivavelassaru #luxurytravel

We’ve reviewed 100+ hotels. Here’s what we’ve learned about luxury ✨ After more than 100 hotel reviews, the stays that stand out aren’t always the ones with the biggest price tag. Here’s what really makes the difference. 1️⃣ Service beats square footage. The stays we remember most weren’t the biggest suites. They were the ones where the team knew our names by day two. 2️⃣ “5-star” means different things. A 5-star in Paris, Cancún and the Maldives can feel worlds apart. Read the reviews, not the stars. 3️⃣ The entry room can be the smartest booking. At the best resorts, the base room is still incredible. Spend the difference on experiences. 4️⃣ Location inside the resort matters. Sunset side, close to the spa, away from the bar. Which villa you get can change the whole trip. 5️⃣ Food makes or breaks a stay. At an all-inclusive or on a private island you eat every meal on-site, so check the restaurants before you book. 6️⃣ Perks add up. Breakfast, hotel credits and upgrades through an advisor can be worth hundreds of dollars a stay. Want a hotel we’d actually send our family to? DM me “LUXURY.” Booking with Voyager Guru costs you nothing extra, you just get more. Save this for when you’re ready to plan 🤍 #luxurytravel #luxuryhotels #hotelreview

Let’s check out room 1408 at @zemimichesresort - a Club Level Ocean View King. Personal opinion but the club level is a must do at Zemi because it gives you access to two additional pools and an additional restaurant which really changes the experience. DM me for rates! #dominicanrepublic #zemimiches #hilton
