Hi all, I am trying to plan a vacation spot to celebrate my 5-year anniversary with my wife. Looking for recommendations for the top SPG properties around the world. Thanks for your help!

I don't know if it's the best in the world, but I really enjoyed the St.Regis on the north shore of Kauaii. Great location, beautiful property (honestly one of the best views I've seen in my life), and really nice perks for SPG platinum

Prince des Galles, Paris

St Regis Mallorca, W Koh Samui, W Barcelona, St Regis Princeville

SPG luxury collection hotel in Mallorca is an actual castle and with status, got upgraded to a massive suite with comp wine and cava in the room as well as daily breakfast on the veranda with a great view

like

Another vote for St Regis Princeville. There are also some amazing luxury collection properties in Greece / the Adriatic. The Blue Palace on Crete remains our favorite-ever hotel because of the wonderful atmosphere (SO private and felt empty if you aren't at the beach or restaurants) and charming towns within walking distance.

An easier-to-reach option in the South Pacific could be Thailand. We just stayed at The Naka Island near Phuket and it was absolutely gorgeous, and I've heard good things about Vana Belle in Koh Samui. Easy enough to book CX or SG on miles (CX: American, Alaska; SG: amex). Also anyone at my firm could now read this and realize my identity since my recent Thailand trip is all over social media, oops

like

Never been to Asia. But every time I've stayed at The Luxury Collection in Europe with platinum status, the upgrades are unbelievable. Mykonos and San Sebastián! Upgraded to $2000+ a night suites in high season (July/August!)

like

The W in Barcelona is amazing but is a bit more on the trashier side, more appropriate for a girls/boys weekend. Also stayed at the luxury collection in Mallorca, a nice place but a bit isolated and very awkwardly caters to golf enthusiasts(as do most of the properties in Mallorca :/). For an anniversary, I would recommend something sexier, closer to beaches, or a quaint/authentic village

These are all great suggestion - thanks!

Any new properties from the Design Hotel group that's worth considering?

Can't wait till I can use my marriot points at these places!

My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

My dog passed away early this week and i honestly have no desire to work, but I don’t feel like i can take time off because i just came back from vacation.

I gave notice to one of the partners at my small firm last week. It was amicable, but she told me to wait to tell the other partner until he returned from vacation. In the interim, she told the other partner and he blew up. He is now making insane demands and threatening to call my future employer if i don’t meet them. Most problematically, he refuses to meet with me to discuss transitioning my cases over the next week. I am not sure what to do, and I am worried about ethical rules.

Just because a lender/bank offers you a low rate doesn’t mean it’s best deal. Most cases, especially now since rates have gone up, you are being charged points for some of these lower rates in the 4s. If you don’t know or understand discount points feel free to shoot me a message and I can help you review estimate and see if can beat

Is life insurance a priority to anyone at the moment, and if so why is life insurance important to you?

It can be impossible to deal with financial losses due to declining health or unforeseen circumstances by not having life insurance. In these cases, the solution to your debts (that can affect the financial stability of you or your loved ones) may fall within the category of life insurance.
