Hotel Reviews
Every hotel review on The Boujist comes from a stay we booked and paid for ourselves. That means we can tell you when a room was disappointing, when the service didn't match the rate, and when a property was worth every euro. Below is every review we've published, sorted by region, each with the short version of what we actually thought.
Beau-Rivage Palace sits on the shores of Lake Geneva in Lausanne with views across the water to the snow-capped Alps. This is our honest review of one of Switzerland’s most storied hotels, including what the rooms are actually like, whether the Michelin-starred restaurant lives up to the price, and whether it’s worth it for families.
We spent three nights at Chileno Bay Resort with our two kids over Spring Break. The food was exceptional, the beach is one of the best in Cabo, and the design is gorgeous, but the entry-level rooms are the real problem at this price point. Here’s our honest verdict on whether Chileno Bay is worth it for families.
The One & Only Palmilla in Los Cabos offers a luxurious escape that seamlessly blends traditional Mexican charm with modern elegance. The stunning ocean views from each room provide a breathtaking backdrop, while the spacious accommodations are designed with comfort and sophistication in mind. Families will appreciate the attentive service and wide array of amenities, including a family-friendly pool and a dedicated kids' club offering engaging activities. Overall, the One & Only Palmilla stands out as an ideal destination for families seeking a mix of relaxation and adventure in a picturesque setting.
We’ve stayed at the Four Seasons Bora Bora twice. Honest ratings on the overwater bungalows, kids club, dining, and whether it’s worth the considerable cost. No paid placement.
Alisal Ranch is the closest thing we’ve seen to a summer camp the entire family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, kids, babies) can enjoy together. All ages are encouraged to enjoy countless activities in a picturesque setting only 45 minutes from Santa Barbara. Read our full hotel review for a stay at Alisal Ranch here.
Rosewood Miramar Beach sits on 16 acres of prime Montecito beachfront with views from the Pacific to the Santa Ynez mountains. We stayed with two kids and have honest ratings on every part of the property—including the one thing that surprised us.
