"12 Reasons Why Staying in a More Expensive Hotel is What You Deserved When Traveling!"

My Hotel KeyCard Collection 

(150+ as of 2018)

Are you are a traveler who always books a cheap hotel or accommodation? or have the "worst" experienced staying in a cheap hotel? Then, let me explain to you...why you deserved a "more expensive hotel" when you are traveling! So, here's my 12 Reasons why staying in a more expensive hotel is what you deserved when traveling (based on my experience).

1.  To Have a Relaxing Sleep After a Long Travel or Journey!

Have you had a bad experience arriving at your booked hotel after a long travel journey? I have a friend who booked a 1-star hotel in Las Vegas Nevada, and ended up with a cockroach on their bed. So, since then, she always books neither a 4 star or 5-star hotel only to avoid that "traumatic" incident again. And, with luxurious beds, your sleep will always be amazing!

If you are wondering how does it feel to stay in The Top Hotel Brand in the World? Now, I'm sharing here my amazing experiences at Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas  Properties...and why I included their properties in "My TOP 10 Most Beautiful & Amazing Resorts in Asia" (out of more than 100 Hotels & Resorts that I stayed in Asia) in 2016!

Evason Pool Villa

Pranburi, a peaceful local town located in the South of Hua Hin or just a 30-minute drive from Hua Hin Main Town and a 3-hour drive from the busy city of Bangkok; where's the capital city of Thailand. And, in Pranburi, there is one, "The Best & Most Amazing Resort", Evason Hua Hin Resort, where  I stayed for 2 days 1 night!

Evason Hua Hin , set amongst 8 hectares or 20-acres of landscaped gardens with lotus ponds, facing the Gulf of Siam, it offers 196 guest accommodations in a garden setting, including 40 private pool villas each measuring 110 square meters and Evason Studios which features an oversize terrace complete with a daybed.  All guestrooms offer eco-friendly designs adhering to a renowned responsibility to the environment and the Evason philosophy of Redefining Experiences. And, among all their nicest rooms and accommodations, it was their Evason Pool Villa I stayed that only cost US$270.00 per room per night during my stay.

Beautiful Morning at Evason Ana Mandara

From Singapore, I flew to Ho Chi Min City and from Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang airport. Evason Ana Mandara, located just a leisurely walk from the Nha Trang city center. Vietnam airlines operate flights from Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), Hanoi (HAN) and Danang (DAD) to Cam Ranh Airport (NHA), where it takes only 40-minute by car to Evason Ana Mandara. Dining choices include local, regional and international cuisine, presented using the freshest of ingredients. The diversity of Nha Trang presents a wide range of opportunities, water and land-based excursions that can be arranged by the resort. Or simply relax at their tranquil beach or poolside, enjoying their attentive service and their many refreshments and dining choices to offer.

"Six Senses Con Dao", Absolutely One of the Most Amazing Resorts in Asia!

It was in 2014...after I watched the Travel Channel that I started to dream of Six Senses Con Dao in Vietnam. Since then...I made a  promise to myself that someday I will visit this beautiful and exclusive island luxury resort of Six Senses Con Dao Resort (where Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt stayed in 2011 for 5 days) .

 Six Senses Con Dao

It was last week that I spent 3 days/2 nights at this exclusive resort  Six Senses Con Dao.  Six Senses Con Dao is delightfully remote, which presents elegantly designed modern accommodations with generous personal space, lush tropical mangrove vegetation, and breathtaking views out to sea. Each villa comes with its own private infinity pool and unobstructed water vistas.  Six Senses Con Dao, the first five-star resort in the archipelago islands, is contemporary in design and reflects the essence of a traditional fishing village. Passionate about supporting and protecting the environment, Six Senses Con Dao’s demonstrated commitment to sustainability has been recognized as one of the world’s top eco-lodges by National Geographic Traveler.  

Con Son Island, home of Six Senses Con Dao, is 230 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City (SGN). It is a 45-minute flight to Co Ong Airport (VCS), then a 10-minute transfer to the resort.  From Singapore, my friend and I had flown to Ho Chi Minh City and to Ho Chi Minh City to Con Dao Island via Vietnam Airlines, which cost USD$210 (Php10K) for 2-way transfers. And, after a 45-minute flight, we finally arrived at Con Dao Island.
