Fun girls weekend to celebrate birthdays! 🎉

One wanted to book through American Express, but the other, my client, wanted to book through me. Here are 2 reasons working with me is more advantageous:

1. At first, when the hotel was sold out, I was still able to secure a room. American Express cannot do that.

2. After additional rooms opened up, I was able to secure a Lake View room at the Resort View rate at the time of booking. American Express cannot do that either.

American Express may offer some similar perks I offer, but I also have the personal relationships with hotels that my clients can really benefit from! 💯

I am still basking in the tranquility that was my solo escape to Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee last week. I was thrilled to be able to do something I love again...enjoy a resort experience. ⠀
⠀
It was the perfect spot in these new times, allowing for physical distancing from other guests and plenty of activities to enjoy outdoors. I was very impressed by the measures in place to help keep guests safe, yet felt none truly detracted from the experience you expect at a Ritz-Carlton property.⠀
⠀
The newly renovated rooms and corridors are beautiful, brighter and more lake luxe in palette and design than the previous decor. ⠀
⠀
Because the resort isn’t booking to full capacity, reservations are already challenging to come by, especially the weekends. I encourage you to reach out to me now if interested in booking this summer!⠀
⠀
And don’t forget! My clients receive: upgrade on arrival, pending availability; daily full breakfast for 2 guests per room; $100 USD resort credit, and more.
