Barbados Fairmont Royal Pavillion 5* deal

Luxury oceanfront room

The Fairmont in Barbados is situated on one of the best beaches in Barbados, in my opinion. It has been recently renovated with modern rooms, and it is also well situated on the west coast for getting out and about. You can read my review here. 

It usually is extremely expensive at around £600 a night upwards. However, for the low season, they have a great deal with TravelZoo for $999 (~£810) per room for 3 nights in a Luxury Oceanfront Room, which also includes daily breakfast, fast-track airport service on arrival and $100 food-and-beverage credit.

The offer runs for stays from 31 March to 30 Sept 2023. You have to buy a voucher and then call or email to find availability. If you can’t get the availability you want, then you can get a full refund within 14 days of purchase, so I’d advise booking your room as soon as you buy the voucher. 

You need to sign up for Travelzoo to buy the deal, but it is free to do so. You can find the offer page here. 

 

Hilton 100% “mystery” bonus

Hilton has launched a new bonus for buying points. Usually, I don’t recommend buying points except for very expensive hotels. Still, given the ridiculously high hotel prices in many places, such as the US, it is definitely worth doing your sums to see if it makes sense. I checked my account and was offered a 100% bonus as were other people I checked with. To find out, just go to the buy points page here and then sign in. 

A minimum of 5,000 Points purchase is required to qualify for the bonus offer. Members can purchase up to 240,000 Points during this promotion. The offer ends 9 May 2023

    Qatar have an even better deal to CPT. open jaw departing/returning Vienna or Milan for around £1499. Can even get return to CDG for the same price, but it pushes it up to £2k. Most flights outbound flight include lounge access if starting in MXP or VIE, but not if starting in CDG. Combination of 787 and 32O on the MXP and VIE sectors depending on day of the week. CDG mostly non q-suite 777. CPT sectors all seem to be q-suites.

    Meant return to CDG still £1499 but if starting in CDG goes up to £2K

    Out of interest, when did Sofia switch to 90 TPs each way? I thought it was 80 each way?

    Any deals to Japan currently, or to somewhere just a short hop to Japan? Need to travel mid June

      Japan is very expensive right now. Seoul there are a few deals around £1500 with Air France KLM when they have a sale on. Seoul will be your best bet for a decent deal.

    How do you get the OSL – BKK – AMS routing and prices? Have tried multi-city on ITA Matrix but get no flight info.

    1. Michele says:
      01/04/2023 at 2:54 pm

      I managed to get it on Matrix just inputting the usual basics although I may have added DOH as the connection point I think but the easiest way is to just pick some dates and try it on google flight using multi city. I think it has to be mid week from memory.

Brand new @anantararasalkhaimah overwater bungalow Brand new @anantararasalkhaimah overwater bungalows. You don’t have to go as far as the Maldives now to experience an overwater pool villa. Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE is only around 50 minutes from Dubai airport and a much calmer experience than the centre of Dubai. Great beaches and stunning mountains make this the nature Emirate. Other than that it is similar to Dubai in terms of high standards if service and alcohol is available in hotels. #pressstay #gifted #rasalkhaimah #uae🇦🇪 #luxuryhotel #luxurytravel #overwaterbungalow

I was taken by surprise by @queenelizabetholympicp I was taken by surprise by @queenelizabetholympicpark and Stratford. I went to review the @hyattlondonstratford Regency hotel but was surprised at how easy it was to get there and get around London so easily. There’s so much on the doorstep from the Westfield shopping centre to the @londonaquaticcentre where Tom Daley trains. There’s a huge restaurant scene here with every sort of cuisine you can think of. I loved all the outdoor terraces to. I ate at Alpine restaurant @haugenldn and was impressed with the range of dishes from wild mushroom rosti to fondue. There’s also a great roof terrace. My review of the Hyatt Regency is now on the blog. #gifted #stratfordlondon #westfield #olympics #paralympics #luxurytravel #foodporn #hyattregency
@british_airways has a fun new way to mix a martin @british_airways has a fun new way to mix a martini table side in their Concorde Room at Heathrow T5. Those flying in First class or holding Gold Guest List or Premier status can access the exclusive lounge. The machine precision weighs each ingredient in a special “Turbine” martini recipe from top class mixologist @mrlyan  Although the recipe calls for Aviation Gin you can substitute it for another gin or vodka. The cleverly designed mixer then mixes it to precision. Inside it looks just like a jet engine. You can finish with a twist of lemon or olives. Cheers! #britishairways #heathrow #martinitime🍸 #cocktailart #mrlyan #mixology #firstclass #luxurytravel
