A luxury hotel with Hampton Inn level of service would be nice.
This is me. I recently returned from a trip that included a reasonably high ender in Miami Beach. It was nice, the staff quickly remedied their seemingly high number of mistakes, but I felt my pocket was being picked at every turn. Better was the Hilton in Cocoa Beach. Much cheaper, room just as nice, and I could get ice without tipping someone to bring it. Not to mention, I didn't have to tip someone to spread the pool towel on my pool chair that cost me $25 plus attached state, local and county taxes a day in resort fee.
