I’ve been lucky enough to stay at some nice hotels in my time, and more often than not there’s welcome token awaiting me in my room. Usually it’s a bottle of sparkling wine, a fruit plate or fresh flowers. But I can’t say that I’ve ever received a welcome quite like this:
Yep, right next to the Nespresso machine and the selection of teas in my suite at the posh Grand Velas was a bottle of Don Julio Reposado, complete with all the fixings for a “Bienvenido!” shot ¬– or three.
And lest you think the resort rolled out the red carpet just for me, my butler (yes, it’s a tough life) insisted that tequila service comes standard in every suite in the adults-only Grand Class section of the Riviera Maya, Mexico resort.
No, complimentary tequila on a tray probably won’t be your primary reason for picking one hotel over another. But it certainly is a nice reward for choosing this one!
