- The Ritz-Carlton Butlers can’t say “no” –Â When it comes to the Ritz-Carlton hotels, everything is free at the club level. All you have to do is to ask the butler. After being granted everything he have asked for, one vacationer asked the butler if he was ever allowed to say “no”. The answer was more than surprising. The butler said that “they are not allowed to perform sexual favors and they can’t sell drugs, but what you do in your room is your own business.”
- Use the plastic bag provided for the ice bucket –Â You should definitely use that plastic bag the hotel gives you for the ice bucket. When people are sick and can’t get to the toilet, they always reach for the ice bucket to vomit.
- Luxury hotels actually clean the sheets –Â You never fully understood the necessity of staying in a luxury hotel when you can just stay in a cheaper one? As one maid once admitted, in budget hotels they rarely changed the pillows and bedding after each checkout, while on the luxury ones they made sure to change it after guests left.
- Hotels Overbook Themselves –Â Hotels have a habit to overbook because the average daily cancellation rate is 10%. So if you show up and they don’t have any room left, they will make sure you get a room at another hotel in the area.
- Spend the night under the sea –Â There are so many hotels worldwide that will give you the chance to sleep with the fish! Jules’ Undersea Lodge in Key Largo, FL, and the Poseidon Underwater Resort in Fiji will allow you to sleep under the sea.
