Review: Sunrise Kempinski Beijing (Deluxe Lake View Suite)
Magnificent architecture with stunning views of the Mutianyu Great Wall and Yanqi Lake.
Hotel Reviews
Review: Delta Hotels by Marriott Xi’an (Executive King)
New-ish hotel with an executive lounge, conveniently located near a subway station and a large mall. Excellent value for money.
Review: Moxy Putrajaya (Queen Golf View)
With the significant gap between the cash and award rates, I don’t see this Marriott Bonvoy sweet spot lasting very long. Take advantage of it while you can!
Review: W Koh Samui (Ocean Front Haven Villa)
Received a Platinum member upgrade to a beachfront villa at this all-villa property. However, the breakfast quality fell short, considering the property’s price point.
Review: The Westin Desaru Coast (Sea View 1 Bedroom Suite)
Good membership recognition and direct access to a beautiful beach. However, build quality was lacking, for a new-ish hotel at this price point.
Review: Four Points by Sheraton Desaru (Premium King Room)
This Marriott Bonvoy award sweet spot offers great value when staying on points. Note that it is not located within walking distance to Desaru beach.
Review: Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi (Superior Sea View Room)
Great view from the double-upgraded room, but breakfast quality was merely passable.
Review: Le Méridien Khao Lak (Studio)
Nice family-friendly resort with a beautiful beach, and plenty of activities, rain or shine.
Review: The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto (Kamogawa Suite)
The entire experience, in this Marriott Bonvoy award sweet spot, could not have been more perfect.
Review: W Osaka (Marvelous Suite)
Received good membership recognition in Japan’s one-and-only W hotel. Design and furnishing choices felt a little “safe” though.
Review: Courtyard Penang (King Room)
High-Value Marriott Bonvoy property in Penang, providing insane Elite member benefits!
Review: Le Méridien Kuala Lumpur (Le Meridien Suite)
A quality Marriott Bonvoy property in central Kuala Lumpur, with a solid club lounge. You’d never guess this hotel is 20 years old!
Review: Hyatt Regency Oryx Doha (Regency Suite)
Checked in at 7am, received a suite upgrade, and went straight to the restaurant for breakfast. Outstanding Globalist member recognition!
Review: Avani Sepang Goldcoast (Two Bedroom Villa)
A low-quality property with plenty of maintenance issues. However, GHA Discovery Titanium members can still receive fair value with the generous upgrade policy.
Review: Grand Hyatt Seoul (Grand Suite)
This recently-renovated hotel, originally built in the 1970s, comes with its own ice rink and offers great views from the rooms.
Review: Grand Hyatt Jeju (Corner Suite)
A near-perfect stay experience with a Jjimjil spa, gaming arcade, indoor pool, casino and an unblocked view from the suite.
Review: Hyatt Place Glendale Los Angeles (Mountain View)
Great facilities and view from the room. Globalist members get free valet parking when staying on points!
Review: Grand Hyatt San Francisco (City View)
By staying here, guests pay for a clean hotel in the heart of the city, and nothing much else.
Review: The Westin Jakarta (Renewal Room)
A pleasant hotel offering good value for your Marriott points. However, the robotic service leaves a lot to be desired.
Review: JW Marriott Jakarta (1 Bedroom Suite)
Old hotel that needs a renovation soon. F&B options in the Executive Lounge and during breakfast were great!
