Good day!
May I ask who's been using Ourisman travel and would be kind enough to provide some feedback in PM to me? It's for my honeymoon. I'm a little bit hesitating.
Many thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Paul

Brazil Buzz: Palácio Tangará Opens May 10 [2017] in São Paulo
Please see:
http://www.luxurytraveladvisor.com/h...y-10-sao-paulo
Cheers & Safe Travels. ^
The countdown is on. Palácio Tangará, one of the most highly anticipated hotels of the year, will officially open its doors in São Paulo on May 10, 2017. This is the first Oetker Collection hotel in South America, and it already has tongues wagging in Brazil. The verdant location will position the hotel as an urban oasis in this huge metropolis; Burle Marx Park was designed by a highly regarded Brazilian landscape designer and these tropical gardens serve as “green lungs” for the city.

Thanks. I know Doha is opening soon, with Honolulu, Beirut, and Boca Raton in the works. Are Beijing and Dubai still planned?

Jim and I are hosting our Brooklyn-based godless son, his wife and two kids (11 and 8) for a week at Grand Wailea on Maui. Made the arrangements over six months ago, working with a TA I use no longer for new bookings. The process has not been smooth and, although I am not one to count pennies, the cost has been impressively outsize ... but, Hawaii, right? As in, Right to Gouge state.
Thus, happy to report that I've been working with a Napua Tower (the club level) concierge and he has been nothing short of stupendous: accommodating, swift to respond, good answers, super service. Kudos to Jonathan Severance at Napua Tower / Grand Wailea, he is the bees' knees, not to mention the cat's meow. I begin to think this will be a grand respite for all of us. Seven weeks to go.
