I know right!!!! It’s so stunning ❤️

Yes very!! It’s super unique. Patina and ritz are unreal when it comes to architecture and design

It sure is pretty though!

Hey Ashley! Thanks for reaching out. Coolist is a great channel that provides a lot of insight into a lot of great hotels. However, our approaches are different. If you take a look at our channel, we do hotel reviews with a consistent rubric that we use in order to avoid it being so subjective. Our approach to reviews is less based on our individual experience and based on the experience guests can anticipate as a whole at a resort. We do this because we have had a number of years of experience in hospitality and marketing so we understand what’s a front versus what’s real. While the comparison to the st Regis and the ritz Carlton may make live aqua seem really high end, it depends on what ritz or st Regis he is comparing them to - lol. We have not stayed at the live aqua in Mexico but we did hear that it is significantly better in terms of service and food. If you need any help making any decisions or have any questions about resorts in punta cana, feel free to DM us on Instagram or reach out to team@voyagerguru.com. Xx, maren

You have a good eye 😉

🤣🤣🤣 I love that!! Once in a lifetime every year!! Heheh where’s next on your list

@@VoyagerGuru well, we have Vegas to see The Killers in August, then our first cruise out of FL in Feb 25, and then maybe The Deeves again in Jan 2026! Counting down the days 😂 I'll definitely rewatch all of your content again for inspiration.

Covid taught me to travel less, but make the experiences memorable. No more resort hotels in Spain - bucket list travel only!

@@boreilly82 sounds like an epic collection of travel coming up!!!! That’s amazing!!! Stay in touch :) have a great time at the killers!!! I love them

Nice!

Thanks so much 😊 Have a great trip :)

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it! 🤗

They had 3-4 restaurants on that little bay right in the center of town!

So cool! We just left your sister property Patina yesterday! That video will come out soon!

Ritz Carlton is definitely not known for being cheap

...or is it Bologna

It's sure is a one of a kind hotel!

Hey there! so when we were there, they allowed us to use both. that's typically what we experience at any brand hotel + FHR. They could have changed the rules (which would be awful) so I recommend confirming before any stay

Amazing!! you'll have a great time :). There are no silly questions here! so of course it will be affected by hurricanes etc, but the water is typically VERY clear on this side of the coast because of the offshore current and offshore wind so you will have less "crap" coming in with the tides and current. In terms of tipping, we do recommend a few dollars for good service here and there. Typically, I'd say tip for beverage service or your butler if they were great. Tip whatever you are comfortable with :). If you have bad service, don't worry about tipping. I hope this helps!

@@VoyagerGuru Thanks for answering my questions. That helps me a lot . Greets from Germany

thank you so much! that means a lot 😊

🙏

Thank you so much for your comment! That is great feedback - we are flying to the maldives right now and will be sure to include it. At pullman, there is a reef off the jetty and it's good- this atoll has excellent reefs overall. It's not like you can walk off the main beach due to the seagrass but they do have a good reef off the main jetty :)

😂🧸🛋️ IYKYK🤣

Thank you! We had such an amazing time on our Capella Cruise! We can't wait to go back and visit more of Vietnam!

Thanks so much for your comment! We appreciate the feedback :)

Thanks for the tip!! We will make sure to do that next time

Hey! Thanks so much for your comment :) that means a lot to us! Tahaa does offer jet skis and jet ski tours, as does bora bora. I’d say ultimately it comes down to what you want to do on vacation - tahaa is much more laid back, very quiet and relaxing and not much traffic around on the water- that snorkeling is unreal. It’s a bit more “low key”. Bora bora will be more active, there’s lots of hotels and access to the mainland shopping and restaurants. It’s a bit more touristy and we found the show to not be as good as it was at tahaa. They’re both excellent for different reasons, but I think it ultimately is about deciding whether you want to have a low key, no shoes vibe or a more active, accessible vacation. Happy to help if you need anything or have any other questions :)

@@VoyagerGuru Thanks for taking the time to lay out your experiences at both and help us make a better informed decision. Based off what you have written, our vibe about the two locations seems to be confirmed. We are really leaning the Tahaa route but that could change. Both Le Bora Bora and Le Tahaa look stunning. Just to confirm, the property resort of Le Tahaa has jet skis on property? We aren’t sure if we want to do a guided tour or just our own adventure. Also, you might not know the answer to this, but my wife and I attend Mass every Sunday. We would love to do so in Tahaa. Does the resort assist with transportation to and from the nearest Church? Obviously there are none on the tiny motu. Any insight would be great.

@MountAthosandAquinas anytime! Happy to help :). So they did have jet skis when we were there - I would confirm they still exist though pre booking via their concierge. You never know- they could have died and not been replaced so definitely I recommend asking. For church services - there are a few churches on Raiatea and the hotel does have scheduled transfers to the mainland so they should definitely be able to help you with getting over there :) while you’re there you can also check out the vanilla and pearl factories!

@@VoyagerGuru Yes! The pearl/vanilla farming are definitely on our to do list. Looking at ATV rides that stop by those locations. The resort is so beautiful (and that coral garden) that our reasons to leave the motu will be very few (ATV, Vanilla farm, pearl extracting experience, Mass, and maybe Jet ski). Thank you for answering my questions and I will reach out to the resort to confirm about the jet skis. Your reviews are excellent. Thanks again

@@VoyagerGuru Oh! I almost forgot…does the resort offer anything approximating a cooking class? Would be really cool to learn how to make Tahitian cuisine.

🤗

Thanks so much for your comment! I’m so glad to hear you guys had a great experience too - Cambodian people are so incredible. There are some great park Hyatt properties around the world!! Let us know your favorite :)

Thank you so much for your comment! We really appreciate the feedback :)! Wow you’re so lucky to move there- such a cool city!! Let us know all the cool places you find when you go!

haha yeah they were kind of rude when we went to, but what do you expect from Mykonos?

@@VoyagerGuru I will go sebtember Mykonos my country.close cyprus.now casablanca.this restaurant have bad service look review.Greece have better island I was Lefkada kefalonia June go there beach nice . sebtember as well corfu.mykono 2 expensive.but for me I go for the party tropicana .city I like .Paros and Siros ios naksos skiathos skopelos creta nice Santorini island

😂 truth 🙌

Heh Juliane! Thanks for your comment!! So only the main restaurant and bar are included on half board. The specialty restaurants are extra but they have slightly lower charges to the items (ie if the fish specialty is $60 normally, you’d pay like $30 or $40 as an example). Snorkeling equipment is included and they do a great job fitting you with the gear. You can keep it for your whole stay and the snorkeling is incredible. Truly one of the best house reefs in the Maldives no doubt. If you need any help or are interested in a rate comparison, don’t hesitate to reach out on IG or email at team@voyagerguru.com! We have access to some fantastic rates at properties in the Maldives. Xx maren

@annkearney4441 yes! The 2 properties are connected and share a number of facilities. As a guest of either, you can go to the different pools, or even the different breakfast buffets depending on which you prefer.

Super helpful!!! Definitely going to book.

Hi there! We stayed there in May :)

Hey Crystal! We were there in May

⁠@@VoyagerGuru ok thanks! We are planning to visit Maldives for our 30th Anniversary and want to go during the dry season.

Amazing!! What a great excuse to travel to paradise! If you need any help, don't hesitate to reach out! We get some great rates through our partners in the Maldives <3 xx, Maren

It's certainly closer to the airport than a lot of hotels, but there's a give and take since that makes the transfer much easier from Malé. Properties to the west of Malé, like the crossroads complex seem to get less air traffic than this side does. It didn't bother us a huge amount, but it's certainly something that happens on occasion. The boat traffic is also heavier in this area.

@@VoyagerGuru I really appreciate you getting back to me with a detailed answer. I think I will avoid it, as great as it looks, I feel it may spoil the beauty of it for me if boats and planes are constantly zipping around.

Nice!! There are so many incredible properties to choose from! If you need any helps, DM us on instagram or email us at team@voyagerguru.com. we get some great rates through our partners over there. xx, Maren

Thanks 😊 haha yes that is the hardest part for sure! Too many to choose! If you need help narrowing the list, feel free to DM us on IG or email us at team@voyagerguru.com. We also get really competitive rates from our partners in the region, so always happy to offer a rate comparison.

Totally agree- such a stunning destination

❤️❤️❤️

We love the DR!

One of the most beautiful places in the world 😊

@delayedtraveler Thanks for your comment! Our channel caters to Luxury travelers. While there are plenty of experiences and accommodations that are wonderful on a budget, those aren't for everyone. Different travelers enjoy different styles and price points to travel. Overpaying is a matter of perspective. Actually from the sound of it, you also overpaid for most things, because you can get hotels, food, and transport all cheaper than the prices you listed (if you want to). $75 was the price for an air conditioned car ($35/day) and a sanctioned Angkor Wat Tour Guide ($40/day), not sure you can beat that 🤷‍♂️ You can get an $18 tuk tuk to take you to all the temples for the day, but that doesn't come with a guide, and it's also not an air-conditioned vehicle, which is the point we were trying to make. There are plenty of channels that focus on traveling on a budget, local experiences, backpacking, documentary film making, street food etc.... but that's not our channel. It looks like you made some good videos of your own about your travels, you should keep making them! There's no one way to travel. Have a great day, and happy travels!

If you thought this video was pretentious, you should definitely not watch our other videos

thanks so much for your comment! that's a great question... I think Mauritius is the most "accessible" from a shopping, dining and beach experience. Seychelles is a lot more islands-based so you're traveling around via ferry or flight and it can be very expensive so I would consider Mauritius. Madagascar is very raw and also involves a lot of travel. If I were to choose, I think I'd go with Mauritius :). xx, Maren

Thanks so much for your comment! we appreciate you watching!! xx, Maren

Hi! Thank you so much for your comment!! The island beach villa is AMAZING- you won't regret it :). The new Ritz is definitely on our list- so is Saudi in general!! Hope you visit there soon <3. Thanks for watching! xx, Maren
