Hotels: Luxury Can Be Worth It

Author: admin

Jade Mountain, St. Lucia

Travel & Leisure had a piece recently on the world's top 50 hotels. I don't know how such a list can be more than someone's list of personal favorites, but it's a fun list to read.

Some are on the list because, while they might treat you very well, they're especially exotic. Take the Oberoi Vanyavilas in Rajasthan, India. Teak floors and pushily outfitted rooms – but the rooms are tents. And the resort is in a game preserve with tigers. Live tigers. I don't know that I could sleep in a tent it I knew there were tigers around…

Maybe Jade Mountain in St. Lucia would be more enjoyable. Open air suites with in-room pools or private Jacuzzis. And (presumably) no tigers.

Unless I win the lottery soon, I suppose I need to be pay more attention to sites like this one on luxury hotel deals. Maybe I can think about a trip in April, during my school's spring break.
