Jade’s KAYAK Guide

Hey guys, here are a few of my favorite hotels that you can add to your radar, as well as some of my bucket list destinations!

My favorite hotels ever

Sonesta Maho Beach Resort Casino & Spa – St. Maarten

7.5 rating (1357 reviews)

Whenever I need to book a stay in Sint Maarten, this hotel is my go-to! Right in Maho and near the airport, it is all-inclusive with amazing drinks and food, the rooms are wonderful, the service is always above and beyond, and it is easy to explore everything from this location, especially plane-spotting!

East Miami – Florida

8.7 rating (3255 reviews)

I spent my 22nd birthday here with my mom, in a beautiful room, with even more beautiful views of Miami, a fun rooftop bar, and access to lots of shopping, good food, and more!

Sky Rock Sedona, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel – Arizona

7.9 rating (1162 reviews)

Arizona will always have my heart, specifically Tempe (where I did my bachelors) and Sedona (where I loved to getaway to)! The Sky Rock Sedona was a beautifully peaceful hotel with the most stunning views of Sedona’s famous red rocks! From here, we explored the city, went on tours, and just enjoyed our time using the hotel’s amenities!

My favorite hotels for solo escapes

Selina Cartagena – Colombia

7.9 rating (2143 reviews)

A vibrant, fun, beautiful hostel where you can meet amazing people! Right in the walled city, with a rooftop restaurant offering views of Cartagena, handmade jewelry in the lobby, a chill coworking space and game room. Easy access to have fun experiences within the walled city of Cartagena, I had a very comfortable stay, did a boat ride to a nearby island, and made great friends!

Moxy Amsterdam Schiphol Airport – Netherlands

8.3 rating (1557 reviews)

A very fun environment near the Amsterdam Airport with a fun lobby space and bar, great rooms and customer service. Easy to get into the city, to catch trains, and explore!

Kimpton Shane Hotel – Atlanta

8.8 rating (158 reviews)

We stayed in their holiday themed suite before Christmas, the room was beautiful and spacious, right in the heart of Midtown ATL which allowed us to easily walk and explore everything. The atmosphere in the hotel was very cozy and welcoming, great food and drinks, great music!

My favorite romantic getaways

Sonesta Ocean Point Adults Only Resort – St. Maarten

8.1 rating (384 reviews)

This part of the Sonesta Maho Resort has all of the romantic vibes but is also very fun! Beautiful restaurants on the cliffs with amazing food, spacious rooms and adults-only pool areas.

La Samanna, A Belmond Hotel – St Martin

9.2 rating (146 reviews)

A beautiful hotel situated on the French Side of St. Martin, with a beautiful cliff-side beach and luxurious villa-rooms.

Caesars Palace Resort & Casino – Las Vegas

7.5 rating (9152 reviews)

Such a beautiful hotel, my fiance and I had such a great time here! The rooms were gorgeous, there was endless fun, the perfect place to just let loose and make fun memories!

Other Caribbean destinations I recommend

A scenic shallow beach with crystal clear water on fine white sand surrounded with rugged rocks.

Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club

8.8 rating (33 reviews)

I have not been but I’ve heard so many great things about this property so I would definitely recommend it!

A cove crowded with anchored yachts as seen from a forested hill.

Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel, Anguilla

9.0 rating (119 reviews)

Growing up, I visited this hotel a few times and hoped to one day have a wedding event here! Absolutely stunning.

Low-hanging foliage on the beach framing the boats floating over the crystal-clear seas.

The Morgan Resort Spa & Village

8.1 rating (532 reviews)

We enjoy spending time at the restaurant, listening to the live music, and the property is incredibly beautiful and modern.

Rows of bright yellow umbrellas and sun loungers across a sandy beach facing the sea.

JW Marriott St. Maarten Beach Resort & Spa

7.9 rating (28 reviews)

I have not been since the renovations, but I loved it before and I have only heard great things about it! Not a central location, but great for families and being in a more quiet part of the island, I would recommend renting a car!

A boat stranded on the sandy beach is accompanied by a towering palm tree, while buildings and wooded slopes provide a picturesque backdrop.

Fort Young Hotel, Dominica

8.3 rating (596 reviews)

Visited this hotel a lot as a child, very central in the city near the waterfront! It’s gone through renovations so I can imagine it’s a beautiful stay!

A small pier extends from a seaside village surrounded by lush forested mountains to the sea.

Jade Mountain, Saint Lucia

10.0 rating (37 reviews)

This hotel is a dream place of mine to stay at. I’ve been to St. Lucia and the Jade Mountains leave you speechless, imagine with this view?!
