The ritz !! Stayed there and loved it

It was not included since we used points but this was pre-covid. I heard many things changed after covid

St. Regis raised the redemption rate, but it does include breakfast. The Ritz is brand new and the redemption is lower for an overwater suite. I ended up booking the Ritz for Q1 2023.

How? I thought Marriott only allowed booking 1 yr out?

St regis was incredible. But I think the ritz is closer so sea plane transfer may be cheaper than the $750 a persons for the st regis. You can’t go wrong.

Should note. At the st regis platinum and titanium get free breakfast which is normally $150 a person (lobster and caviar omelette included). Also you get 20% off on all food and alcohol.

Booked a villa for 50-60 guests for our destination wedding in Tuscany. The hotel required us to pre-pay for the rooms and won’t accept direct payments from guests. This means we need to find a way to “charge” each of our guests for the cost. Any recs? Thought of PayPal and Venmo but would prefer being able to create a website that feels more legit / seamless and allows for credit cards if needed. There are many different room types and we’d like to be able to feature them so guests can choose.

unpopular opinion: An Mba is one of three things:

2. A 2 year vacation for rich people.

Can someone please convince me otherwise?
I’m struggling to see how it is worth it, I am 26 and make 100k and the 200k price tags seems like a rip off tbh
