As always, Curt went above and beyond to make sure my weekend was perfect! He researched hotel options for me, he answered my multiple questions about pricing, and when I had to change the dates of my trip, Curt was able to take care of all of the complicated rebooking issues. I just had to show up and have fun! And thanks to Curt's personal care and attention...I had a great time! I'm very grateful and would recommend Curt to anyone who is looking for first class service and support in booking your next travel adventure.

Mystical Arrival? Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal Takes the Crown!
The Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal wins for the most dramatic and mystical arrival. The moment you arrive at this hidden gem in Los Cabos, you’re already on the brink of a memorable stay. As you approach the resort, you’ll encounter a tall metal gate where the staff engages in a friendly conversation with the guard. After the gate opens, you’ll be greeted by a dark tunnel bathed in flickering light. As you drive through the dark tunnel and your eyes acclimate, you realize it’s lined with gas torches along both sides and gas chandeliers down the middle. At the end of the tunnel, you’ll emerge onto a circular drive, where the uniformed staff awaits your arrival with open arms, overlooking the breathtaking Pacific Ocean. The entire stay ahead of you beckons, and you realize it’s time to slow down, savor the beauty, and immerse yourself in the moment. This is going to be a stay of a life-time.

Farmhouse Chic & Wine Country Calm: My Stay at Carneros Resort and Spa
Carneros Resort and Spa left a deep impression on me—it manages to feel luxurious without ever trying too hard. From the private cottages tucked among gardens and fruit trees to the warmth of the fire pits that dot the property, the resort invites you to slow down and savor every moment. I loved the blend of relaxed California charm and elevated touches—it truly felt like a Napa-Sonoma hideaway that knew how to host both serenity and celebration. For me, it struck that rare balance: refined but unpretentious, restorative yet social.
