Shangri-La Springs Resort in Bonita Springs, Florida

  Visit Florida   Shangri-La Springs, which usually conjures up a fantastical paradise, is actually where the springs that give the city of Bonita Springs its name were first discovered by the Calusa Indians - the first mineral springs spa in North America.- and this 102-year-old hotel with just eight rooms on 8½ acres oozes history and healing inside and out. Asian art proliferates throughout the property, inside and out. It’s a boutique hotel impersonating an art gallery. Even the lobby…

Staying at a "snow hotel" above Norway´s Arctic Circle

The Snowhotel Kirekenes, one of just a handful in the world (most of them, of course, in northern Europe, especially Scandinavia). The property´s centerpiece is a former barn turned complex, whose hallway is lined with an “ice bar” (above) and about a dozen rooms featuring snow sculptures depicting a range of images, from Vikings (like we had) to Arctic fauna to characters from Disney´s Frozen. That´s supplemented by the modern reception building (with some appealing Arctic art); 21 more…

A Margaritaville state of mind in the Dominican Republic

    Set along a stretch of pure white-sand beach in Cap Cana, an exclusive enclave of the DR´s most popular resort area Punta Cana - and just 15 minutes from the Punta Cana International Airport -  five-star all-inclusive property Margaritaville Island Reserve Cap Cana., which opened a little over three years ago is one of just eight Cap Cana resorts. I visited not long after it opened, and found its “no worries,” tropical vibe spoke to me the moment we pulled up to the hotel entrance adorned…

    SILKS HOTEL IN LUSH ECO FRIENDLY DOMINICA

     

     

    This intimate luxury hotel has a distinct charm and is steeped in history. It is comfortably nestled on the banks between two fresh water estuaries as they end their river journey and join the Atlantic Ocean. Formerly a museum, the present hotel has now been sympathetically renovated into a seductively furnished Creole mansion.

    Silks hotel has been harmoniously restored and modernized to blend the elements of it's surrounding history, culture and beauty within a natural setting.

    Yes, what do you do when guests in the next room are noisy? What is the front desk's responsibility? I'd like to know what hotel managers/owners have to say about this.

    Just read about a young guy staying at a Days Inn in Edison, New Jersey who had his face messed up by his next-door neighbors on New Year's Day when he knocked on their door to ask them to dial down their ruckus.  Everybody has had this happen to them -- well, the loud-guests-next-door part, not the attack part -- and the question is, how to deal with it. Does anyone have any thoughts/advice?
