Here’s a boring list for you. It has no merits at all, other than to allow me to remember where the hell all my income went this year, and gives me a chance to tidy-up Upcoming stays. By combining all my fingers and toes, I calculated that I spent around 125 nights away, roughly 35% of the year. As this is a luxury travel blog, I will not count my 1 night stay at the Radisson in Glasgow that I needed to stay in for a business meeting. This is a combination of shame and being fair to the processs. This should exclude The Carlton hotel in Madagascar too, but life isn’t fair so it is staying to prove it.

Are you going to be doing reviews of the Mallorca ones?
I don’t feel Park Hyatt is worth a review as it’s so well reviewed on the Internet already. I will summarise for you: I really did not like it, especially the sheer size of it. It felt like it could have been a 4 star hotel.
Sant Francesc is worth a review (a positive one) and I do actually have a plan to write about it after Singita Sweni, Amanjena and Royal Mansour. I should have done it ages ago, but…well, I have no more good excuses left.
