Better hotel stays, same price.
When I book your hotel through Fora's preferred partner programs, you usually pay the same flexible rate as booking direct and get extras the hotel won't give the public. It's how my sailors start and end their cruises well.

What travelers say.
5.00 average from 38 client reviews on Fora.
We asked Derek to find us a hotel that was very close to the pier and he found it. We couldn't ask for a better location that was both conveniently located and luxuriously comfortable.
With minimal information, he managed to find the perfect all-inclusive resort that was a match made in heaven. … He even coordinated with the hotel to ensure my birthday was extra special. The champagne, decorations, and room upgrade were all delightful surprises.
He researched options and gave me the top choices to choose from for my post cruise hotel. … His help, knowledge and the options he offered, made this trip an unforgettable one. We appreciated all the perks he provided.
Hotel perks FAQ
What hotel perks do I get booking with At Ease Travel Co.?
At thousands of luxury hotels, booking through me typically adds daily breakfast for two, a hotel or resort credit (often $100 per stay), a room upgrade when available, and early check-in or late check-out when available. The exact perks vary by hotel and I confirm them before you book.
Does it cost more to book a hotel through a travel advisor?
No. Preferred partner rates are usually the same as the hotel's flexible public rate, and I charge $0 planning fees. You keep the hotel's cancellation policy, and you often still earn hotel loyalty points on eligible rates.
What programs does Fora have access to?
Fora Reserve covers more than 5,000 preferred partners, including Virtuoso, Four Seasons Preferred Partner, Rosewood Elite, Belmond Bellini Club, Mandarin Oriental Fan Club, Peninsula PenClub, Dorchester Diamond Club, Auberge Collection, Hyatt Privé and boutique partners.
Can you book my hotel before or after a cruise?
Yes, and it's where perks add up. I regularly book pre- and post-cruise nights in Miami, San Juan, Barcelona, Athens and Seattle with breakfast and credits included.
Are upgrades guaranteed?
No. Upgrades, early check-in and late check-out depend on availability on the day, but preferred partner guests are prioritized. Breakfast and the credit are confirmed with the booking.

Text me the hotel and dates. I'll tell you what perks I can add and whether the rate matches booking direct.
