It’s always fun to see what new hotel staff position helps market a property and how the property makes it work for their brand. This was a good article on the “Hottest Hotel Staffers.” From tanning butlers to surfer chicks, this article captures it all.

When you have a moment, you have to visit Conde’ Nast Traveler’s slide show of images that supports the article, “Sleeping Under the Stars.” The accommodation options that allow guests to sleep outside are not too shabby…and of course the locations are pretty darn exotic. (Forget pitching a tent!)
(The below shot at Las Ventanas al Paraiso in Los Cabos, Mexico is a personal favorite of ours…one of our ladies honeymooned at this resort!)
There seems to be a growing trend among the resort spas to offer shorter less expensive services. For example, half-hour facials, 25-minute massages or even menus of 25-minute treatments.

What do you think? Shorter and less expensive worth the time and money?
