Don's Swank Guide
United States
Приєднався 24 лис 2021
I'm Don and I curate the best design hotels, jaw-dropping Airbnbs + help you plan your travel.
I think video’s the best way for you to discover a new hotel, and see if it’s right for you. Planning travel can be overwhelming, and so much travel advice is gamed. Before you pay, you deserve to know what you’re getting.
I’m searching for the world’s best architecture, unique luxury stays, and affordable hidden gems. I understand that there’s no one size fits all resort, so I’ll give you all the info you need to decide what’s best for you. I don’t accept hotel sponsorships and I test drive every hotel before I recommend it.
I’ll only recommend unique places, with great design, that I’d recommend to friends and family.
I’d love to help you discover something different, and hopefully inspire your next vacation.

My 10 Favorite Resorts 2024: Ultra-Luxe to Hidden Gems
Want to see inside the world’s wildest resorts and hotels, including 2 Aman resorts, secluded treehouses, and a floating camp? 2024 was the year I explored over 200 hotels and stayed at 70. In this video, I’m counting down my 10 favorite resorts, from ultra-luxe hideaways to hidden gems, showcasing jaw-dropping design, idyllic settings, and unforgettable experiences. These aren’t just places to stay-they’re destinations in themselves, with glamping tents that redefine comfort, beachfront eco-casitas, and even a restored 15th-century fort. This list has something for everyone who loves unique stays and great design.
From Costa Rica’s off-grid luxury at Pacuare Lodge to the unparalleled elegance of Amanbagh in India, each resort on this list offers something extraordinary. Picture yourself sipping cocktails on a hot tub deck 30 feet from the Pacific, or stargazing in the Rajasthani desert from one of the most stunning pools I’ve ever seen. And yes, the service at Aman-I-Khas is so good, I barely left the resort. Whether it’s incredible architecture, breathtaking natural surroundings, or a vibe that’s pure magic, these stays have earned their spots on my 2024 favorites.

Wow; seems like somewhere I need to go. BTW, "most unique" makes no sense; something is either unique or it isn't, just like someone is either pregnant or they're not. If you mean _distinct,_ _rare,_ or _different,_ just say that. Also, the abbreviation for _square feet_ is "sq ft", not "SF" (which would mean San Francisco, or something like that), while the square metre uses a symbol of m², not "SQM" (which would mean siemens-quettamolar).
Finally foreign youtuber with high budget
Lot's of great places in India... thanks for watching
Do not rent a surfboard from this shop, you may not get your deposit back. When I returned the surfboard, The guy inspected it and noticed a very small resin break on the nose of the board, which he thought was a “ding”that needed to be completely repaired. Even he sucked the damage with his mouth and found that no water or air came out, he still thought it was a “ding”that needed to be repaired. He used the flashlight on this wound and thought that light had penetrated, so it was “ding”???I could hardly take a picture of this wound .but the guy said that theirs board needs to be kept in perfect condition, so it needs to be “ding”However, when we rented this surfboard, we found that the more serious scratches on the board had not been repaired. There was no breakage in the fiberglass, no leaking minor damage, cost us $40, however, when I went to the next store to return my short board, we showed the pictures explaining the situation and they told us it was absolutely can't be called a ding, let alone repair it in a ding way. After that, I asked two more surf shops and they told me that was ridiculous! Never rent a board from someone who never surf! 0:16
sorry u had a bad experience.... thanks for sharing

Yeah nice video but it isnt really a bargain hotel at $330+/nite. I want to stay here since I like it being close to The Grove, but it’s pricey. Thanks for sharing.
It was at least $100 chaper when i stayed there... hotels and airlines price based on demand.. so that could be it...it's on the lower end of the scale for LA. Have a good trip

What did you think of the Amanjiwo... that's been on my list for a long time

Hi, loved this vlog on the unique culture and traditions of Bali. Admire your editing, photography ( drone footage ) and presentation. Well done.
Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words!
might be a crazy question, but is it dark skin people safe over there?
My impression of Norwegians is they are very nice... but I have not walked in your shoes, and if there's some sort of racism there under the surface I wouldn't know. I wish I could be more helpful here.
amazing video. Very informative and beautifully filmed! will be watching more of your vids for sure!
Thanks for watching... hope you enjoy the rest of my vids!
Edit 👌🏻
Thanks
The worst hotel mangement ever, hotel manager is like a child, whatever they do doesnt matter he is like " we didnt do anything" No hot water in the shower, waited 6 hours to get fixed and worked only once was cold again later on, we could only take shower with warm water once. They almost blinded my wife, had a construction going on at the restaurant area at 8 pm (dinner time) very professional! a piece of wood bursted and came to my wife's eye. Almost blinded her and what they said? Put some water, pain will go away! They took our luggages from the room and we went to the reception, guess what? A wheel of our luggage was on the floor. They broke the wheel of our luggage, what they said ? " We didnt do anything". When we checked in, the guy at the reception said that we will have the "full experience", we curtainly have. it is like hell in heaven, only area is beautiful, mangement is by far the WORST. You can stay at another hotel on that beach cause the beach is beautiful but NOT AT BE TULUM, THE WORST HOTEL MANAGEMENT EVER.
wow so differnt from my experince. sorry to hear that
So hard looking for a perfect place to stay, looking at Alesund a lot but also Tromso, would you say either is a great pick for nature/stunning views etc in the month of March. Also have you tried Hotel Union Oye? Was looking to stay there as it looks beautiful.
I dont know about Tromso. The area outside of Alesund is beutiful. I hiked when i stayed at the Juvet Landscape Hotel.. if you watch hat vidoe it will give you a sense of that area, about an hour and some east of Alesund. have fun
Been going to that area since I was a little Kid. My favorite place in the world. I stay in Ixtapa and meet up with others I've met from going there over the years. We make day trips to Tronc, Zihua. Best time of the year is January-March. Full sun everyday and mid to high 80's. Did you make it to Ixtapa Island?
Thanks for sharing
I’ve stayed at both the Alila Diwa and the Diwa Club in high season and both are quiet. Scanners at reception are quite common in India. The hotel used to offer a beach club but most guests preferred to go to the local shacks to get a real experience and not just a resort feel.
Thanks for commenting. of my 13 India resort stays this was the only luggage scanner I saw...
Please correct your Title the Name is Fort Barwara" not bawra ! As the town nearby known as " Chauth ka Barwara"
Thank you very much for pointing out my error! Much appreciated really
You have a way with words & great coverage .
Thank you! I really appreciate that
Thanks for creating these videos! Super helpful.
Glad you like them!

Stay at Postcard Hotel Arabian Sea. You’ll totally fall in love. It got awarded as one of the best beach boutique beach resort as well. It’s just on the beach with only 9 rooms. A hotel brand by ex-President of The Oberoi hotels
Thanks for sharing, I'll have to check it out!
Rs 45K per night!!! I mean c'mon.
@@doncorleone3901 35k is the usual rate. It'll be totally worth it. only 9 rooms are there including suites. One needs to go and experience it.
This is definitely a really cool location cheers as always for the video,,,,safe travels peace and happiness 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
Thanks so much!
Really loved your videos and felt great that someone made a pointed out those plastic bottles (the point about sustainability), most hotels and resorts in India have a plastic bottle system, but due to the high criticism they are applying a more sustainable method.
Thank you... I know most of my environmental rants put most people to sleep... glad you agree it's important!
Was it a Hindu temple than Muslims turned it to a fort?
Always was a rajput fort
Its a fort built by hindhu king.
Sorry I'm not sure about that
thanks for clarifying
@@SwankGuide sorry for his comment he is just he is just filled with hatered with hindus
Visit udaipur, Jaisalmer, Kerala in India 🇮🇳❤️
I did it's wonderful... I covered 2 resorts in that area!
This resort is so over priced , tuli veer bag near pench has same tents for 20000 a night .
I wonder if it can rival the Aman experince... I'm not a total Aman fan boy but they do some things better than any other resort chains... IMO
@SwankGuide the services of Aman would be better but overall tuli veer bag is much more beautiful over-all . If you're ever planning on visiting normal range resorts then definitely do visit !
Love from Jodhpur 😁
Thanks for watching!
This crap is all for the Tourists... Beatutiful buildings...But not many people from"Oslo" going here=)
Yup it's for tourists
u can have all gay sex in da world with drake. Please stop bothering me about ur fave gigolo.
I still remember when this fort was built back in the 14th century. I really miss those days
me too, but the internet sucked back then
😂@@SwankGuide
Ohh my GOD

Yeah Back then I was a Minister at the palace ,those were the days 😂
I just priced a rental car price price for a month rental simple sedan…..and it works out to $115 a day with the insurance and gps……is that just what it costs to rent a car in Costa Rica this coming January ( high season)
As I'm sure you've figured out, algorithms are good at surge pricing. Thta's not what it costs me but I was there in November then March/April... January is high high season. Wish I had a better answer for you
I did my homework and just reserved a sedan 28 days $2000 everything included including that darn insurance . Pilot rent a car….. That price I can deal with
Great! Good luck and have fun

I stayed here a few years ago. I love the Place des Vosges and have rented apartments on 3 sides of the square. I like this hotel because it is so un-hotel-like. It seems like staying in someone's amazing house. That's why there are books and magazines everywhere and you can enjoy any of the food and drink that's there. Make yourself at home. I heard someone didn't like that there is no real lobby or staff running around. They should stay at the Bristol. This is much cooler. So, I suggest this hotel for people who want to stay in the Marais. Most people don't realize the Pavillon de la Reine hotel is not really ON the square, but this is.
Thanks for the feedback... I'm 100% with you. I had stayed at the Pavillion de la Reine.. alos on the squre.. many years ago and it doesnt compare to the Cour Des Vosges IMO.
Have you stayed at Mandapa?
No... have you? Do you recommend? If I went back think I'd have to give it a try
May I ask about drone footage; did you record it? I thought importing and registering a drone in India is really a big challenge.
I shoot all my own drone footage... except in India b/c like you... the rules and regs seemed like too much. I hired a local guy to do it... and even he got super harrased by the cops.. so I'd be careful
