Venice. Londra Palace Hotel. Relais & Chateaux. I've been to Londra Palace before, and I was so happy to be its guest ones again. The first feeling/thought when you step in: bomboniera. Jewel-box.

Grand Velas. Luxury All Inclusive resort in Riviera Maya. Well, we all have a bit of prejudice when it comes to All Inclusive, but some are good, trust me. To be honest, I've also had a bit of preconception: I'm not big fan of large hotels where you always need to call for buggy…
