Pro tip: Having the convenience of cafes and restaurants available within mere steps of where your guests are staying is truly a luxury that can't be overlooked. We're digging this mouth-watering list that was just dropped on the top 10 US hotels for food and drinks. Have you dined at any of these locations? Or, are there any places you think deserve a spot on the list? 🤔 #HotelMarketing #HotelGeofencing

Here’s how to spot a tourist trap restaurant and ensure you get the best dining experience on your travels: - 🎉 Overly enthusiastic welcomes and flashy entrances - 🌍 Menus with multiple languages and plastic-coated pictures - 📍 Close proximity to major tourist attractions - 📋 Large, diverse menus lacking focus on quality - 🍰 Generic desserts and standard drink selections - 📸 Focus on photogenic setups and flashy presentations - 🌐 Tourist-filled clientele with few locals #TravelTips #Foodie #RestaurantGuide - 🚪 Loud, flashy entrances with hosts actively soliciting customers can be a major red flag. - 🏙️ Restaurants near major attractions often sacrifice quality for convenience and high turnover. - 📑 A menu that tries to cater to everyone likely doesn't excel at anything specific. - 🍦 Desserts that look too perfect or are standard fare are usually mass-produced. - 📷 Restaurants emphasizing Instagram-worthiness over food quality should be avoided. - 🗣️ Observing the language and attire of fellow diners can indicate the authenticity of the restaurant. 6 Red Flags You're About To Eat At A Tourist Trap Restaurant https://lnkd.in/gdzuw4_h

There’s been a lot of talk lately about the effect that overtourism has on the restaurant scenes of popular destinations. (See  Emiko Davies' Substack post earlier this week titled: “Is overtourism killing Florence’s dining scene?” and the conversations happening over on Alicia Kennedy's chat.) I agree that it’s troubling to see travelers lining up at famous sandwich shops or feeling like they NEED to go to certain restaurants just so they can post photos from them on IG and TikTok. But I also think there are a lot of tourists who show up in cities like Rome and Florence without having done any research at all and just wander into the first trattoria that looks mildly appealing. Because otherwise those tourist trap restaurants around Piazza Navona and the Duomo would be empty. There has to be a middle ground, an approach for travelers who really want to experience a place through its food without falling into the trap of checking places off a list. I don’t have all the answers, but speaking for those of us who write about restaurants in cities like Rome and Florence, I think acknowledging our own subjectivity is a good start. After all, even the most authoritative lists are written by individuals who have their own opinions and biases. With this and the other curated lists I write for the New Roman Times, I aim to provide recommendations based on my experience of living in Rome without claiming to be THE authority on the city. I hope readers can use these tips as a starting point and then go off and form their own opinions.

Have you debated trying an all-inclusive resort? 🤔 Here are 5 reasons why they are the best option when traveling to Mexico or the Caribbean. Ready to plan your next epic escape? Schedule an appt to discuss! https://lnkd.in/dhstaS4D 1. ☕It's not all about the alcohol! Coffee, tea, lemonade, mocktails and even bottled/drinkable water cost extra at non all-inclusive properties. These drinks add up- bottled water can be upwards of $5 each! With the heat, drinks also get warm quickly, and it’s not as easy to replace them when you are paying for every single one. 2. 🏓All-inclusive resorts typically have more dining options, activities and facilities than non all-inclusive resorts. There is way more to do during the day without having to pay for activities individually. 3. ⛱Easy access to the beach- most all-inclusive resorts are on the beach, whereas most non all-inclusives are in the cities, requiring a cab ride. 4. ☑️Convenience- no need to figure out how to get to different restaurants or narrow down from hundreds of choices where to go... everything is right there for you! All members of the family can find something they want, and for the pickiest of eaters, they can try a few things until they find something they love. 5. 💸Budgeting- you know what you will be spending upfront, and no one needs to pull out their wallet (except to tip!) Food, drink, activities, and service all at your fingertips- who wouldn't want that?!? Picture is from Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya for my 15 year anniversary and we had a BLAST!
