For those romantic escapes, Vietnam is the picture perfect destination. The most amazing thing about the place is its beauty and the way it fits each and every budget. I was overwhelmed with the hospitality and the way we were pampered during our stay at the Hotel Hanoi Joy. We availed with their Traditional Sailing Halong Tour for 3Days and 2Nights http://www.hanoijoyhotel.com/viewaboutuscat-3983-Tours.html. We explored the limestone islands and emerald green waters of UNESCO world heritage listed Halong Bay. I strongly recommend you to savor the best cuisine on board and go kayaking to enjoy the quiet atmosphere of the bay.

Back to work after a laidback holiday in the beautiful Vietnam. I just love that place. Beautiful islands, Halong Bay and my stay at the Hotel Hanoi Joy made the stay memorable. You can cruise in a luxury boat and visit the romantic islands, go swimming or boating or even enjoy the marine life at prices as low as US $110.
You can visit http://www.hanoijoyhotel.com/ to avail holidays of lifetime.

Monday, August 09, 2010This Week In Hotels #6 (Twitter, Four Seasons, websites metrics, review of a hotel website)

In this week’s episode of This Week in Hotels, Josiah and I discuss:

Four Seasons only follows their other hotels on Twitter @fourseasons. What message does this send? Should you follow back everyone who follows you on Twitter?Why number of followers on Twitter isn’t the same thing as influence (an account with fewer followers may actually reach more people)Which website metrics are important to watch – and how to choose themThe numbers Josiah and I track for our own blogs, and how often we monitor themWebsite review: Why we think Room with a View such a great hotel destination blog (Plus: the importance of having a local writer for your blog)


Do you prefer the audio version to listen on the go? Grab the mp3 file here.

Monday, August 16, 2010This Week In Hotels #7 (Facebook, Geolocation sites, Google Wave, Important of Google Adwords)

For episode 7 of This Week in Hotels, Josiah and I discuss:

* Why I created a Facebook page for his blog

* What types of content are best for sharing on Facebook

* Should you let guests know about your Facebook page at your hotel?

* Why you should register your name on every social media platform – even if you won’t use it right now

* The problem of social media impersonators

* Are Facebook and Foursquare becoming one?

* Why Google Wave failed (and why it may have been a testing ground for Google’s future products)

* The power of Google Adwords remarketing

Enjoy.

Prefer the mp3 to listen while exercising or commuting? I do, too. Here’s the download.

For next week, we would appreciate if you could send us:
