Renaissance Porto in Porto, Portugal - A Marriott Bonvoy property (August 2024)
We decided to stay at a Marriott Bonvoy hotel as Marriott Gold members. This was a 5 day, 4 night stay in Porto Portugal just this Aug. 2024. Overall, we paid in cash for USD 808.
Pros: Great staff, friendly and helpful! Gorgeous design and clean. We loved the breakfast especially the eggs benedict, just wish the buffet had variety each day, it never changed.
Cons: Feels far from the center of the action. Air-conditioning doesn't get really cold, at best at 22 degrees Celsius (they're apparently certified to conserve energy which is why, so good to know their commitment to the environment but good to set your expectations if you like to sleep in a really cold room!). Also there's some construction happening but didn't really bother us because our room was in the center of the building.
Small correction: I mentioned the property was a 13 minute ride from the Porto Sao Bento station, we arrived at Porto Campanha station instead of Sao Bento. :)
Overall, it was a good stay! Thank you, Renaissance Porto Lapa Team!

Enthralling Entalula in El Nido, Palawan - World's 4th Best Beach! Incredibly beautiful! Aug. '24

We've always wondered what the Nordic Lodge was all about. We'll never get there, and we appreciate your video.
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching and glad it helped! 😊
Thank you. The video tour of the hotel was great.
Thanks for watching! Glad I was able to help!
We are going in November flying in on a Sunday around 2 pm on American, so likely terminal B from what I've read. We've never been to tne DR. We opted to do the VIP airport arrival and private transfer to tne Hyatt Zilara. We are staying club level in a suite as well. Any recommendations on dining, butler services, and things/places to avoid? Any issues making dinner reservations? Requesting beverages, as a club level guest, do you get a higher quality cocktail/drink menu at the restaurants and not low quality liquor or beer etc. We've never done an all-inclusive. We usually rent private homes or stay in boutique resorts when traveling in the Caribbean. I thank you for your time.
Hi Shane! Thank you for watching! We just got back from our 3rd stay the 2nd week of July and I'm about to cover most of your questions on my newer videos, stay tuned! I will say that I don't feel and see the need for VIP airport arrival. We've always been able to land and get out of the airport in 15 mins. or so. The butler helps elevate your experience so getting a good one definitely helps but we've always had butlers. They help enhance but having a great stay doesn't really depend on having butlers. We've always done club level, you only get the premium alcohol brands from the club lounge itself. I do love club for the club pool as it's our preferred pool. We don't really drink a lot so it depends on what you're after. I will also say that the club level restaurant Shutters, is only available for club level guests for breakfast and we love it as it's beachfront. Hope this helps a bit for now! I'll be creating a new video specific to last month's stay for the latest on the resort. Thank you again for watching and supporting! 😊
Bring back Cascades restaurant with the statues and fountain!
are the a la carte restaurants included in price or you pat extra?
Hi! All the restaurants are included on the rate you pay for, except for the specialty restaurant The Blind Butcher for $150 per person and it's optional. We didn't try it.
@@ElevatedMoments888thanks god you guys didn’t try it because we just came back from this resort & we bought the blind butcher dinner for 150 per person & the food was below average another negative thing about this resort is that they don’t give there guest a wristband that was a problem with security the first 2 days at the property 🤦🏽♂️👎🏼 but we highly recommend this resort the food at all a la carte restaurant are delicious and the staff are very friendly this resort is a 5 out of 6 for us !
We are headed there in November, staying club level in a suite. We've never been to the DR. Suggestions in food/restaurants any helpful advice would be appreciated. We're also doing VIP Airport arrival.
@@shanew7361 excellent resort but only one negative do not booked the blind butcher dinner not worth it for 150 dollars per person food was below average for us & for the vip airport service that’s only apply for terminal 🅰️ for arrivals not 🅱️ terminal B is only for delta & American Airlines this service is not available for this terminal only for departure from punta Cana !
is food included in price?
Yes. It's an all-inclusive resort, food and drinks are included except for their new specialty restaurant which is optional at $150 per person.
Does price go up every year
Hi there! Not so sure. Feel free to reach out to them at their website thenordic.com
What an amazing video! Thanks for sharing a video about Hyatt cap cana. The most enjoyable place in DR. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for watching! Thank you for your kind words! Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana is one of our favorite properties ever! It's also the people that makes this place incredible! More videos to come from our stay right now. 😊
Even 4 lobsters for that price would have been worth it. I'd definitely go a while without eating like you did to get my money worth
Thanks for watching! Agreed! It's definitely a fantastic value for money. Enjoy when you get to go!
Question, is there in need to do reservations at the restaurants advance ?
Hi, thanks for watching! We had a butler help us get the best tables if we were eating dinner at prime time like 7 or 8pm. But if you plan your timings well and eat earlier than that, you should be good. The Ziva side can especially get very busy as it's more on families with their kids. Hope this helps!
How much cost the cabanas
Hi! I recommend you check with the Concierge team to make sure you have the current rates, you can email them at PUJIA-Concierge@hyatt.com

Great video thank you for sharing, 👍 going to the Hyatt zilara on Monday July first for 12 days which restaurant you guys recommend ?
@@Tubeyou72 Thanks for watching, happy you liked it! Our favorite restaurants were: Tempest for Asian food, Journeys for Indian, Noodle & Thread for Italian and Waves for Steak! The buffet has themed nights, my husband says he had the best burger during one of the themed nights! Oh and if you have club access, we love Shutters for breakfast! One Eyed cat for martinis and drinks! More videos to come in the next few days, hope you enjoy! You'll have an amazing time for sure!
Do you remember your specific room number?
@@mayhemloco1078Hi! I think 6322 or 6323! It's the Ocean Front room category.
Hi there When was this videoed ? I’m going in my camper in February to hopefully ski ?
Hi! This was taken in Aug. 2023.
Nice place 😉
Cold Oysters, crab, shrimp followed by lobsters and scallops wrapped in baked, get some fresh vegetables. I’d ignore bread, desserts and most side dishes.
Thanks for watching! I can't believe I skipped the oysters the last time. Looking forward to trying it next time!
❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching! Hope you’re doing well! 😊
That looks good such a spread right by the port authority bus terminal.

This lounge was a great respite on my recent trip to Bordeaux and Cap Ferret. Be aware this is for Air France connecting passengers into CDG and on to other Schengen Area destinations.
Thanks, Brian! Correct, we were flying from Paris to Barcelona as shared under the description section. I'm sure you enjoyed the lounge! :)
breakfast in the hotels are almost always more expensive and lower quality than the cafe's and bakeries in Paris.
I've been to Paris a couple of times so while I agree, you can't also say no to breakfast served in the Club Lounge with a fantastic view of the Eiffel Tower.
Oh thanks! love your videos! good content. How much does the breakfast in this Paris Hyatt Regency Club Lounge? how early in the morning can you go there?@@ElevatedMoments888
