For Part One of this Room Service Review, click here. To quickly recap: I just stayed at the all-inclusive Sandals Regency La Toc in St. Lucia where I started off my visit with a very standard Caesar salad and followed it up the next morning with my favorite room service breakfast: smoked salmon on a…
Room service at an all-inclusive resort is one of those magical concepts that seem like they can’t possibly be true. Theoretically, you can order food non-stop 24 hours a day. Sounds amazing, right? In theory, it is. In reality, the old maxim is true: you get what you pay for. You know that scene in…
I promise I was planning on ordering something healthy. Then I saw the Waffle Grand Slam on the room service menu and I just couldn’t say no. It’s exactly the kind of decadent “that can’t be real†type of dish that draws you in like a tractor beam. If you fall prey to its siren…
On the grand scale of things that I love, room service breakfast is nestled right between free premium channel preview weekends (“Why yes, Showtime, I WILL binge watch Californication this weekend. Thank you very much.”) and pictures of puppies sleeping upside down (they look like they’re sleep-flying!). That is to say, I LOVE me some…
It’s been a while since I’ve been to a proper hotel lounge. I don’t know about you, but I love hotel lounges. Who needs a cash minibar when you have a well-appointed room with a free real bar? As much as I love hanging out in hotel rooms, I love having the option to go…
Sundays mean farmers markets and naps and obscure sports that somehow become compelling (sure, I’ll watch this jai alai match…). They also mean Fly&Dine Recaps. If you’ve gotten your fill of competitive curling and cup stacking, then go ahead and catch up on these enthralling stories from the week that was in Fly&Dine: Sneak Preview…
If I asked you to name the city that has the most expensive room service in the world, what would you say? New York? Tokyo? London? Those answers are all wrong. WRONG, I TELL YOU! Didn’t you say you were a room service major in college? Apparently not. Luckily, the fine folks at Hotels.com just…
In terms of ultimate luxuries in life, the list goes: Taking a bath in chocolate pudding Eating hot dogs at a cookout Ordering room service There’s just something about having a full meal delivered to your room, complete with a white tablecloth, silver domes (fun fact: they’re called cloches), and tiny bottles of condiments. It…
Back in the ’60s, Air France used to advertise a seven course meal that took place over the course of 1600 miles. It involved the type of elaborate French cuisine that people of the time associated with French food: foie gras, cheeses, entire birds with feathers and all. The image is a little grainy, but…
First and foremost, let me apologize. Unlike a regular restaurant review, I’m not able to return to the restaurant several times to try the entire menu and create a response based on the culmination of several experiences. I ate at AeroNuova once and paid for it out-of-pocket. I did so anonymously and present to you…
I imagine the marketing team that came up with “Mint” as the name of JetBlue’s new premium cabin has been patting themselves on the back for months. It’s the perfect evocative brand name; a four-letter word without scorn. Mint is fresh. Mint is financially sound. Mint is crisp and cool and exactly what you want…
Vegas is a buffet town. When 99-cent all-you-can-eat options disappeared along with the Sahara, the luxury buffet took hold and now diners are paying upwards of $20 per person just for breakfast. The Bellagio Buffet, The Buffet at Wynn, The Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan, and the newly renovated Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace have…
First of all, let’s be honest. First Class on an older AA 757 is a joke. With the exception of the extra elbow and leg room, there’s not much about this cabin that screams premium anymore. On my red-eye flight earlier this week from Kona to LA, I found out that the food matches the…
“Imagine this as your living room while you’re here.†That’s the direction I was given when I first laid eyes on the Club InterContinental overlooking Victoria Harbour (yes, I’m spelling it the British way. When in Rome Hong Kong…). After a few visits, I started getting angry that my actual living room wasn’t nearly as…
