Independent Hotel and Resort Reviews

At Travel with Mark we are independent global travelers who provide unbiased written and video reviews based on our own personal experience. We provide flight, hotel and resort reviews and tell it like it is! Our reviews are available here on our Travel with Mark website, or on YouTube.

We are comfortable traveling in Coach or Economy Class, in a First Class suite or anywhere in between. We love to travel and we report it as we find it. We do earn from recommendations but we're clear when we make a recommendation whether we were compensated in any way. We earn very little in commissions anyway and most of our meagre income is from Youtube.

Our hotel reviews cover mid–range and upper end hotels. You can book these hotels using our links and we may earn a small commission. We don't usually quote rates for the hotels, however you can check our current rates by clicking the attached link, and you will receive an up to date quotation from booking.com

Rio Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas

An elegant 5 Star hotel in the middle of Mendoza. We stayed for a week at this beautiful hotel, enjoyed the attached casino and walked to a bunch of restaurants in the surrounding streets.

Park Hyatt Mendoza

A delightful gem in the middle on Manhatten. Modern, elegant and in the middle of mid–town. We spent a Memorial Day weekend here and enjoyed every minute of it.

Grand Hyatt, Mumbai, India

A cost–effective and comfortable hotel with plenty of ammenities. Preferred by expats who know! Rooms are very economical and staff are amazingly good. In our view, one of the best value hotels in Dubai, although the location is a little out of the way in and up and coming area. There is a train stop nearby though.

Element Al Jaddaf, Dubai

A convenient stopover, whether in the city for business or stopping over on the way to or from a resort. The hotel provides good transport to and from the airport and the staff are friendly and efficient. Rooms are small, but functional
