A lovely modern hotel in Amman, very typical whimsy style of W Hotels. The hotel is beautiful; our room was spacious and had an amazing view. We loved the bar/restaurant on the terrace!

It's a typical large resort hotel located right on the beach. The facilities are nice but the rooms are a little dated and worn. Staff was very nice.

The tour was great but was a little different from what we were expecting. It's not a jeep but a pickup with a covered back seating area. You make a few stops and do some light hiking, so come prepared to climb and hike through sand. Our guide was very friendly and took great photos!

We didn't get to do the Backdoor hike because it was closed on the date of our visit. But we still had a wonderful visit to Petra with a very knowledgable guide.

This was one of our favourite hotels on our Southern Spain trip. We loved the quiet location but within easy walking distance to all the important city sites. The decor was beautiful, the staff so helpful and friendly, the rooms were gorgeous and the welcoming bottle of cava a sparkling surprise, and the breakfast was absolutely the best we had on our trip!

This hotel was in a fabulous location over looking the bull ring and valley in the beautiful town of Ronda. The room was spacious and updated decor lovely. The staff friendly and breakfast good. The one thing I did not like about this hotel was the cleanliness of the floor in the bathroom. It was noticeably dirty and when I wiped it with a white washcloth the cloth was black with dirt. I asked the front desk to clean the floor but don’t think they did as the floor remained dirty. For me this was a real turn off! I was grateful they provided slippers as I would not want to walk on the floor in bare feet.

This was a wonderful hotel close to city Center and walking distance to a large selection of restaurants and shops.

Wow, what a great day we had in Seville. We first did a walking tour of the old city center with Ana and then a Segway tour of the gardens, exposition grounds and La Taberna area with Miguel. Both guides were so friendly and fun to spend time with learning about this beautiful city.

Ana made our evening in Seville magical! Her choices of Flamenco venue and the two tapas bars were authentic and fun. It was a pleasure spending time with you Ana.

Our guide Carlos and our driver made this day special. We first visited the cork forest where we learned all about how to make corks for wine, we then had walking tours of two white towns, a olive oil tasting and a fantastic lunch before being dropped of in Seville. Thank you for the fantastic day!

Juan was a wonderful guide to explore Ronda with. Ronda is such an ancient and well preserved city high on a gorge with the most beautiful views. We particularly loved touring the hamman and the oldest bull ring in Spain!

Our driver was great, he was on time and the vehicle was clean and very comfortable. The experience of going into a cave with 40,000+ year old drawings was one of the highlights of our trip! The private lunch at the organic vineyard of Vertas with the personal tour and explanation of their wine making gave us a much better understanding of just how complicated and delicate this process is and the lunch and wines were delicious.

Our tour of Alhambra couldn’t have been more enjoyable or interesting. Our Guide Paco was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Granada and the architectural style of Alhambra. At the end of the tour he also recommended one of our favourite restaurants for lunch.

The transfer from Granada to Malaga then Ronda was in a lovely Mercedes van. Our walk around Malaga which included a detailed tour of the Piccaso museum with Julian and our tapa lunch was great!

No parking available. For a road trip not suitable.

Rooms were ordinary for the price. But lovely staff.

This is one of the most spectacular hotels we have ever stayed in. The location is breathtaking: mountaintop with miles and miles of green hills sloping downward toward the west. The sunset was stunning. The place itself is elegant and very peaceful. The restaurant provided excellent food for dinner and a delicious breakfast buffet, all the vegetables coming from their garden. The price was surprisingly low.

The owners have done a fantastic job making 14 small rooms right in the heart of Athens fun and comfortable. The location is fantastic and the breakfasts will knock you over they are so creative and beautiful and delicious. Truly the best we’ve ever had.

Location, atmosphere, incredible staff, over-the-top homemade breakfasts— stay here! It truly felt like staying with family.

Brian and Ramon helped us have a trip that we'll never forget.

The guide Richard was just amazing - extremely knowledgeable

Amazing! The hotel is a 15 minute walk from the city center, however, the property is spectacular with beautiful gardens and fountains and pool. Our room was spacious and well appointed, breakfast in the garden was delightful and the staff were wonderful.

Amazing experience for a mom-daughter stay. The hotel is centrally located, but as other travelers have noted, driving can be a harrowing experience. We couldn't figure out how to get through the pop up metal barriers when we arrived. After driving in circles through VERY narrow streets, we got through only because the barrier was down for the person in front of us. When we drove out the next day to visit a winery, we encountered the barrier at the bottom of the hill. Still unaware how to get past, we backed up the hill, inevitably scraping the side of a wall. When we walked back up to ask for help, the valet graciously walked us down and explained how to use the call box. That aside, the hotel property is spectacular and the staff were wonderful. Our room was spacious, very traditional French country decor. We were greeted with chocolate and fruit basket. No detail was spared! Breakfast in the morning was wonderful and lunch in the restaurant on the patio is a must! Highly recommend!

Unfortunately, we did not have a great experience at this restaurant. While my daughter and I are pretty adventurous eaters, we did not enjoy this meal. The restaurant itself was beautiful and the staff were very attentive, but overall, I would not go back.

The day started in the morning, walking through the local market and buying fresh produce, cheese and meat that we would use in our recipe. We then stopped at a local winery before making our way to our host/guides home. Gilles was a wonderful host, very knowledgeable about the local market, and regional cuisine. We had a great group and all worked together to prepare our meal.

Initially we did not anticipate a full day tour, but realized it was broken down into two parts. Wine tasting in the morning and a tour of small towns in Luberon (Lourmarin, Roussillon and Gordes). It was a long day, but we absolutely loved see the beautiful villages. our guide, Nathalie was wonderful and we had ample time to walk around at each stop.

We arrived at the bike shop and met our guide who set us up on our ebikes. We biked through the beautiful hillside; the pedal assist was perfect and we had no problem biking up steep hills. Our first stop was to see the view of Les Baux-de-Provence and then we road down town and walked around for ~30 minutes. The ride back was beautiful with water/snack stops on the way back. Overall, it was ~4 hours and ~30 miles. One of our favorite tours on our trip.

Julian was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable about the history of Avignon and local culture. We thoroughly enjoyed walking through the city sampling different foods and wines from the region.

Camille was delightful! She was very knowledgeable about the history of the winery and explained the winery's AOC designation. Camille walked us through the cellar and explained the aging process for different wines. We concludes with a sampling of 7 different wines. Overall great experience.

Beautiful location. No air conditioning, no TV but big overhead fans. No hairdryers and no WIFI unless you were close to the main lodge. Food served at lodge was amazing Took the AM boat tour - guide was impressive and tried to find as much wildlife as she could - including monkeys, birds, and crocodiles - trip was very pleasant. Had to travel 1&1/2 hr to get back to the lodge - on the return trip it was pouring and we had to carry our own luggage up a hill to get to where the buses were parked. Had to pay to use the bathroom at the bus location and any food and drink was a bit overpriced.

I would suggest that one night was enough to see everything

Surrounded by trees - beautiful - 4 hot tubs. Restaurant not impressive. Had fish one night and was not that good. Second night we went into town. Cute little town - could have explored more of it. We ate at Tabacon and the food was amazing. Had to take a cab to get into town from the hotel. Recommend the butterfly Took us 3 hours to hike around the volcano - my husband is 75 - not such a good knee and there was some climbing up and over large rocks. We got to the Tabacon Springs - it was dark and lighting was poor. We did not realize that we had to show our vaccine records and our health letter before they would even let us in - luckily I had brought them along

I wish I had done the waterfall walk

Most beautiful location. The view from the breakfast location was breathtaking. Monkeys in trees above. Howler monkeys could be seen and heard from our room in the early mornings, Many shops and restaurants in walking distance. Better then some Caribbean Island resorts I have stayed at.

Spanish - but many English speaking staff

Beautiful location. Surprisingly cool due to elevation - I did not try the pool. Long walks up and down hills to get to breakfast but shuttle service was great. Breakfast was great.

walking distance to the forest and the beach. Many restaurants within walking distance. Hotel was clean - lots of precautions. Pool was nice with swim up bar. Food - breakfast and other meals fantastic. The best fish tacos ever and I don't usually like fish tacos.

Get the fish tacos

Seemed understaffed. Staff had trouble keeping the breakfast bar stocked. If you needed tea - good luck getting hot water. Not enough seating. Just unimpressive. No pool. We took a bus tour of the city - younger people could certainly just walk to attractions

only stay one night

Ideal location from which to explore Florence. Not too far from central transport links for those coming out of the region and or the airport etc.

Fantastic vista over the Tuscan vineyard from the external fine dining area. Wonderful food. Very helpful staff. Spa on site. A retreat of sorts.

Call ahead if you expect to be checking in late in order that a meal might be arranged. Alternatively eat prior to arrival. Meal times here are relatively restricted, but the food is ih so worth it.

Iff the beaten track in the Tuscany region. Authentic, old, comfortable cottage or traditional style hideaway.

The location of our room was above the breakfast garden which could be noisey for later risers.

Amazing designed rooms. Opulent design, ideal for a couples getaway.

Expect an unconventional hotel experience in the heart of an old building in an ancient city.

Amazing hotel, great service from staff. An ideal location to recharge oneself. Simple, clean and modern, room. Pristine pool and lovely beach nearby. Access to a vehicle a must if one wishes to explore all the delights this wonderful island no doubt holds.

Expect families and couples and a quiet experience. Check with the hotel no large groups are staying during your tenure.

Take in all the sights of Rome in an amazing journey in an exciting yet safe, unconventional manner. You and your partner might feel like a star as you are whisked around the City at the hands of a humorous, knowledgeable, local.

A beautiful hotel with a wonderful location across from the fish market .

My guide Brit was wonderful

I highly recommend The Horizon Retreat of Myconian Ambassador - the room has the best view in the hotel along with a private pool. Also, take advantage of the spa services - they were amazing!

Beautiful location, wonderful accommodation.

It was okay....not much to do. I would not recommend a visit unless one had a car to explore out side of the city.

Although it was a rainy day, I took the opportunity to drive along the spectacular & beautiful fjords.

Loved the fjord and town...charming, beautiful location.

Beautiful. Would highly recommend people to visit this beautiful area.

One of my favorite cities in Norway...really enjoyed the old town section.

Such an amazing view from the balcony and very spacious apartment. Location was superb and just uphill from a great swimming beach. Overall very clean and well equipped

It was amazing to have a transfer by motorboat and to get to see places that other tourists couldn’t An unforgettable day

The route that Robi had planned was ideal as we were dropped off on top of the plateau and had an incredible cycle down the hill and along the coast with many nice places to stop to admire the view and swim

The staff and concierge were extremely helpful! They really understand the hospitality business much more than American staff.

Great location.

Love this place and great apartments and best breakfast.

Food and location are great. Hotel is a little noisy due to restaurant downstairs.

Probably the most unexpected surprise of trip. Fantastic and provided true feel for the people and island. Our guide was just the best and was so fun and loved all the people. I would do again if I had the opportunity.

Amazing food and great place.

Awesome. Valentina, our guide was the best. So happy to have her and our driver spend the day with us. I feel bad as I didn’t know if we were supposed to tip our food guide or not at end. I didn’t and now feel guilty. Only recommendation for improvement is to avoid prosciutto factory and samples before lunch. Them immediately go to lunch and first food served is more prosciutto. Just a lot of cured meats in a row.

Tuscany wine tour was great to see and do. Our driver was awesome. The two winery’s we visited seemed to be more businesslike which made us feel like more of a process to get people through.

All was great and Mike our guide was fantastic. The experience was great.

Lovely hotel with spacious rooms. Each room has a complete kitchen!

This is a unique hotel and the rooms are much smaller than newer hotels. We stayed here because of the history of the hotel.

The rooms are very small - we went for the ambiance of the building and the grounds.

Fantastic place and friendly hosts.

Book it before you miss the opportunity to stay here!

Convenient, clean and friendly hotel. Nice to have a great selection for the breakfast which was included.

Banff is a beautiful town but busy with tourists. We enjoyed the delightful coffee shop and went there twice for the fresh breakfast sandwiches made with their “made on the premises” bread. They were delicious and so was the coffee!

We arranged a last minute wine tour with Gerry of Wine Boss Tours. He graciously waited while we met him at his first pick up. The tour was fun and Gerry provided great insight into the wineries we visited.
