Tripadvisor - RHP style

April 19 2010

I'm a big fan of using Tripadvisor (.com) to give me a little background on a hotel or accommodation before I book it. It's similar to RHP in the sense that people you don't know provide you with advice and feedback / reviews of places you haven't been but are thinking of going. Anyway - I got to thinking that the needs of a family of 5 visiting Dreamworld are different to what a pretend Doc and hot Doc's Assistant require. And despite always choosing somewhere 'nice' to stay - ie where chances of bed-bugs are only average and a toasted ham & cheese sandwich costs $16 - these places still don't always fully meet the needs of the RHP traveller. So lets have some accommodation reviews: Where have you stayed and what makes it RHP friendly? And what the hey - why not throw in the things you're looking for in a RHP friendly place so your fellow travellers can recommend a place. Here's some I can think of. 1 - A shower large enough for two - soap and skin for two is sooo sexy 2 - Double-glazed windows and ear-plug dispenser for neighbouring rooms 3 - A mini-bar with whipped cream and choc sauce 4 - A room spa for more than one 5 - A radio / CD player.. not a crappy alarm clock one either 6 - A late checkout 7 - Hot valet parking boys

    8 - Receptionists who don't giggle and wink when they wish you a good stay at their establishment.9 - Cleaners/maids who take notice of the 'Do Not Disturb' sign and don't knock once, shout out 'Housekeeping' and walk straight in.10 - Showers that aren't so damn water-saving that they actually produce a decent stream of water11 - Balconys that do not open out onto the busy carpark or at least a a little screened 12 - KING SIZE beds lol

    These are the two best hotels for all things sexual... in my opinion ! I prefer the shower at the Park Hyatt...it has two shower heads, one front and one behind PLUS a 3rd one that can move... it doesn't take much imagination to figure out what u can do in a shower with three different "heads". Then there's the spa...huge corner spa with T.V. I could stay in the Park Hyatt bathroom all day with the right man. I like the Crown Towers for various reasons.... I love their gym and pool and I LOVE having sex against the windows overlooking the Yarra. I like pressing up hard against the window while being fucked in various positions. Oh, the Crown does really YUMMY strawberries coated in chocolate. They're not on the menu, I just phoned and said what I wanted and voila they appeared in 10 minutes with a bottle of sparkling. Pity, there was no man around when they arrived ! By the time he got there I'd finished the strawberries drunk the entire bottle of sparkling, had a bath and gone to bed !!! xx Miss Saturn

Sometimes researching other people's opinions can be ... limiting shall we say?And $16 toasted sandwiches can appear cheap if the alternative involves getting out of bed, getting dressed, travelling in search of decent food - only to find Maccas is the closest, most edible thing to opt for due to hotel location - assuming you can even find it on your return! I guess an In-Room Menu has its merits is all I'm saying ...Anyway, what is a pretend Doctor doing organising his own accomodation??? Isn't that what the hot assistant is for?I do agree that all of your requirements in a RHP hotel are vital (especially hot valet boys - and ideally ones that can be found). I think Mookas are imperative too. *Dreaming now* ... free minibar service for energy replenishment perhaps?Might have to give the Park Hyatt a whirl one day though! Wow Miss S, I'm in the wrong state! Where in Sydney can a huge spa in the bathroom be found?? Let alone one with a TV!!?? And THREE shower heads??? *awestruck at the very thought*

    Quoting 'Nudierudie2'Greenmount Beach Resort is on the border of New South Wales and Queensland.Coolangatta , Marine Parade, 10 minutes from coolie airportAnd the Room you want is ..... The Spa Suite..... I seriously second this one - am, becomming a bit of a regular. No I dont use it for a holiday place but somewhere that is convenient for a regular playmate(s) and I to meet. I am sure they know what I am getting up to. Hmmmm will I see any of you there I wonder? Kisses Focus

    Try the Cape Lodge in South West W.A If you took a complete stranger there they wouldn’t be able to resist the place is Fantastic with the entire front of your room opens up onto a private lake with a massive Glass Spa in your room next to a MASSIVE King Size Bed ...wine, fruit chocolate and all the music you can play from your iPod.

    I agree with sexy Miss Saturn. The Park Hyatt is exactly as she says. The Crown Towers is also brilliant. Other more affordable options include the "special" day rate at the Mercure on Spring St in Melbourne. Further afield there are lots of placesin Daylesford that are just perfect for the adventurous.

Although to be honest, the only one I can think of off the top of my head is me... oh no hang on, there's a ferris wheel at the Docklands - an engineering marvel... it was held together with candle wax. Unfortunately the sun shone on it.

Good thing they opted for pop rivets on the Eiffel Tower then I suppose ... Handy Hint For The Day: Candle wax should be treated with extreme caution! Actually, candles in general ... they're ... erm ... flammable ...And this WA Cape Lodge Glass Spa business is only adding to Sydney's decent spa-less shame!!

Rumour has it there is nothing sexy about the smell of burnt hair... and only Michael Jackson could look classy with his hair on fire! You can't stay in the spa the whole time... surely !? what on the hotel wish list would get you out of there?

Stylish marble benches (dependent upon their height) make for great ... workspaces ... for cooking of course. Self contained means no nuisance housekeeping calls and organised groceries mean no crazy treks in search of food ... Sounds like the perfect getaway Miss B, what is this place called? Rumour has it there is nothing sexy about the smell of burnt hair... and only Michael Jackson could look classy with his hair on fire!You can't stay in the spa the whole time... surely !? what on the hotel wish list would get you out of there?Hmm ... what would get me out of the spa? Let's see ... I think certainly a 24 hour rooftop pool (so as to avoid the touristy daytime crowd) and definitely a willy wonka style chocolate waterfall (in the absence of an unlimited supply of Krispy Kreme choc iced, custard or cream filled donuts). I'm assuming a hotel of any decent standing will have at least 9 pillows on the king size bed. And towels, a nice continuous supply of fluffy towels please. Decent coffee too. Candlelight. Music. A few bottles of red? Is this too much to ask?? I suspect I'm indulging in some serious wishful thinking here!Tell ya what, if you can find a place like this in Melbourne, or Sydney for that matter (good luck!), I'll humour you and visit the melting ferris wheel. Gimme some notice if you're headed north, and I'll even source you some accommodation close to the Botannical Gardens - you may well find that park bench somewhere inside ... Hey Fab, aren't you best to do the road trip by car? Frogs entwined in ecstasy, I've found, are often best enjoyed with a picnic lunch in a nice secluded spot by a lake somewhere ...

    Quoting 'tinquabell' you want a radio JG? How very vanilla... Other hotel room requirements: - 24 hour roof top pool - mirrored ceilings - orang utan on a leash - Willy Wonka style chocolate waterfall - a park bench - an Egyptian mummy of some description - at least 9 pilllows Scary thing is, I'm sure this type of room probably exists in Dubai lol Aww c'mon - talkback always gets me in the mood - whether it be Neil, Hinch or some old guy giving me odds on a horserace in Toongabbie. Besides - how do YOU drown out the orang-utan noise without a radio? PS - Is this why you need newspaper in your room? Or is the ranger housetrained?
