I just want to say thank you to this entire group. You just saved me almost $6k.
We own a B&B in the Caribbean and also offer Private Chef Services island-wide. It's not uncommon for us to get a request to cater a yacht outing, or a private jet taking off at the airport. It's also not...
Yay! I’ve put it on our list and hope to meet you in October!
As for my references to OTAs, I see other responses here that I don’t necessarily disagree with. I detest booking and others who add a blanket 15+% and insert themselves into my guest’s experience (and not in a good way). That...
Congratulations!!!
And I completely agree about the OTAs. I had a horrible experience with one and FINALLY got away from it. Completely unnecessary - 5 star reviews through Trip Advisor, Google and Facebook are the key!!! And guests help me set up our Instagram and Facebook accounts. I post a...
I love this question!

Hahahahaha - thank you for an awesome laugh!
Our guests checked out this morning and the room was an absolute wreck. I definitely lost financially on this one, but I gained a ton of new knowledge!! :-)
Hi Mort! Thank you so much for the insight and I couldn't agree more!
So my apologies for bothering you with this question: This was my first post out here and I actually didn't realize that all my info was associated with this post. How do I post anonymously, and is it too late to change...
I never post my opinions or negative experiences on social media (I don't know when someone is just having a bad day for reasons I can't appreciate but would likely empathize with), so I'm coming here where 1) I have received so much valuable insight from everyone's experiences and 2) I hope...
