The more I travel to Mexico, the more I notice the timeshare or vacation ownership option continues to be popular. So on one trip I decided to ask myself, “Should I buy a timeshare?” I understand the basic concept. One purchases “time,” a set number of days (one week or two) at a resort (or […]

Where to Stay in Mazatlán? – El Cid Marina Beach
by Craig Zabransky on March 30, 2012 in Where to Stay?
Mazatlán offers over ten thousand hotel rooms for visitors and in my travels to the coastal city, I’ve stayed in multiple. All enjoyable and all safe. And when people ask me in conversation where to stay when traveling in Mazatlán, I’ll mention hotels in multiple neighborhoods (Nuevo Mazatlán, Old Town, and the Golden Zone). But, regardless […]
Where to Stay in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC? – Ink48
by Craig Zabransky on January 26, 2012 in Where to Stay?
Hell’s Kitchen. Today this Manhattan neighborhood certainly doesn’t deserve its nickname, and in the last ten years the midtown-west location has truly transformed. Today, some even label it as trendy and chic. Many new hotels have opened in the neighborhood including most of the major brands. They realized that when you visit New York City […]
Where to Stay in Sossusvlei Namibia? – Sossusvlei Lodge
by Craig Zabransky on December 7, 2011 in Stay Luxurious, Where to Stay?
Namibia is big and spacious. Vast. The landscape stretches for miles (kilometers) often with nothing but nature. Visitors discover there are not too many stops between Windhoek, the capital city, and Sossusvlei besides a stop in Solitaire. Yet visitors also discover the journey is well worth it. And even more so if you stay at […]

by Craig Zabransky on October 24, 2011 in Mexico Travel, Where to Stay?
The world’s top resorts and resort brands line the beaches of the Riviera Maya. I know I toured many. And I plan to stay at a few on my next trips to the region especially as Stay Luxurious takes off next year. But even so, I am sure I will always recommend Hacienda Tres Rios […]
Where to Stay in Lombok? – Hotel Tugu
by Craig Zabransky on September 1, 2011 in Where to Stay?
Bali ignites the imagination of an island paradise, but it’s the lesser known island neighbor of Lombok that lures today’s adventurous paradise seeker. When I arrived I found an empty tourist information booth, an undiscovered island, and an oasis at Hotel Tugu. The Hindu Past of Lombok at Tugu The drive from the airport can seem […]
Where to Stay in South Beach? – Hotel Victor
by Craig Zabransky on July 28, 2011 in Stay Luxurious, Where to Stay?
South Beach. The very words bring a smile to many of us. Its sultry scene provides the chance to “see and be seen.” Whether you explore the beach, people watch on ocean drive, or head out to the clubs late night, it’s all about looking beautiful. Visitors “do” South Beach many ways; some want ocean […]
Wake Up to all Five Senses at the Desert Lily
by Craig Zabransky on January 25, 2011 in Destination, Where to Stay?
It’s no secret I am not normally a morning person. It often requires special circumstances for me to wake before 9am. But if anything can alter my standard behavior it’s Mother Nature. And she did during my visit to Joshua Tree. During my travels to Joshua Tree National Park I enjoyed the desert scenery, the […]
