Is five star service normally so slow?!

By Paul Johnson on Jun 01, 2006 in Accommodation, Hotels, Travel Miscellany

You’d think that all five star hotels would be adept at handling their email enquiries. It would seem not, however. On 19th May, I emailed a five star hotel from one of the big luxury brands. (I’ll spare their blushes by not naming them!) By the 23rd May I hadn’t had a reply, so I re-sent my email with a note attached at the top, pointing out that I was waiting for a reply. I had forgotten all about the enquiry until just now (1st June) when they finally replied. It’s taken them TWO WEEKS to get back to me!!

Close to the border with neighbouring Nicaragua, @originslodge is an ultra-exclusive property tucked away in the verdant vegetation of the Bijagua Mountains, a zone of lesser touristic saturation than many of Costa Rica’s more well-known destinations. This cosy lodge overlooks miles of unspoiled forest and also offers guests 180-degree views of Lake Nicaragua across the border from the highest points in the property, including the stunning infinity pool.

Petit St Vincent is a private island resort that is all about disconnecting from the world and reconnecting with yourself, and what a fabulous setting to do it in. If you’re after a digital detox, with no Wi-Fi and no guests making noisy phone calls on the beach, this is the place to be. Stay in an idyllic, secluded and spacious cottage, where, if you want room service, instead of the latest in-room technology, just raise a flag outside (yellow for service, and red for ‘leave me in peace, please’). You can also enjoy world-class dining, including fresh catch-of-the-day fish, and lose yourself in that book you’ve been meaning to read for ages.

When Lars Petre first stumbled upon the Maldives as a young Swede on vacation in 1985, the whole trip was a happy accident. After a ski vacation was canceled because the ski resort had to close due to too much snow (imagine – what a problem to have!) Petre and a friend detoured to Geneva and hopped on a flight to Colombo instead. “We were planning a ski holiday but ended up in Sri Lanka,” Petre recalls with a smile. “I’d heard of some small islands in the Indian Ocean, so I thought – shall we take a look?”… For the link to this and other luxury travel news stories this week, visit https://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/2019/11/10/luxury-travel-news-this-week-46/

Head for Gstaad and take a trottinette ride down the mountains! If you climb or take the cable car up the mountain at either Wispile, Rinderberg or – a little further afield – at Sparenmoos, you can ride a trottinette back down. These are scooters that allow you to race down the mountainside on marked pathways at whatever speed you feel most comfortable with.

Unlike aircraft ownership, or even fractional ownership, today the exciting on-demand charter model is rapidly gaining momentum allowing travelers to be completely flexible and travel in the most cost-effective manner.
