Our advisor went above and beyond our expectations with this hotel. Was able to meet all of our asks and stay within our budget. She managed all of our in country travel for this trip, made all restaurant reservations for lunches and dinners. Our room was upgraded, we received lovely gifts from the hotel and this was such a special tay for a special event in our lives.

We booked this trip through our Fora travel advisor and I can confidently say it elevated the entire experience. She didn’t just book a hotel, she curated the stay. From ensuring the best room setup for our needs to arranging thoughtful touches that were waiting for us on arrival, everything felt personalized and considered. She also made sure the hotel knew we were coming, which clearly made a difference in how we were welcomed.
She has an incredible ability to understand exactly what kind of experience you’re looking for and then deliver something even better. There’s a level of care, access, and attention to detail that you simply don’t get booking on your own. It felt like having someone behind the scenes making sure everything was perfect without ever needing to ask.
This was one of those trips we’ll be talking about for a long time and we wouldn’t have experienced it the same way without her.

We booked through our Fora travel advisor, and once again, she made the entire experience feel thoughtful and elevated. Even for a quick one-night airport stay, she ensured everything was perfectly aligned—from choosing a hotel that removed all the usual travel friction to making sure our transition from car rental to check-in was smooth and stress-free.
She has a unique ability to anticipate what you need before you even realize it yourself. It’s not just about booking a room, it’s about designing an experience, no matter how short the stay. Having her behind the scenes made everything feel effortless.

Our travel advisor is AMAZING!!!! She plans all of our trips and this one was absolutely the best. We were looking for some serious R&R and she did not disappoint. She met all of our expectations, stayed within our budget and went above and beyond to have our room upgraded, we received beautiful gifts from the hotel, all of our dinner and lunch reservations were made at the hotel and at these beautiful beach towns. She booked all of our activities, bike rides, golf, spa treatments.... this was the best 6 days we have had in the south west France on the Atlantic ocean.
