One & Only Palmilla Thinks You Need a 'Lifestyle Consultation'
We'd probably punch one of our friends in the face if they suggested we pursue something called a "Lifestyle Consultation," (as Mary J. Blige says, we think our life's "just fine") — but if they spun it as a component of a Stress Management Journey, we're pretty sure we'd be a bit more open to the idea. HotelChatterin' can wear a sista out; stress management doesn't sound too bad.
In August 2009, One&Only Palmilla will be rolling out a 3-day "Stress Management Journey" at the One&Only Spa by ESPA. It's a holistic program designed to, for lack of a more accurate descriptor, get yo' life right.

Bring the Kids to the Opening of One & Only Cape Town
Long a favorite of the rich and famous, the One & Only Resort chain seems to only build properties in the most drool-worthy of locations, yet adding nightly prices to make your throat go dry. The newest addition to their fancy flock is the One & Only Cape Town, due to open on April 3 and boasting such frills as an island yoga pavilion and restaurants from star chefs Gordon Ramsay and Nobu's Nobuyuki Matsuhisa.

One & Only Cape Town To Open April 4th
Lovers of One & Only Resorts (mainly the famous and the wealthy) will be thrilled to know that the resort group's newest location is opening April 4th in Cape Town, South Africa.
One & Only Cape Town is described as a "urban chic waterfront resort" in the heart of Victoria & Alfred Waterfront which will have killer views of Table Mountain and Signal Hill. The crescent-shaped, seven-storey Marina Rise building will house but more accommodations and the One & Only Spa can be found on two private islands in the middle of the waterway.
Generous interior spaces are adorned with fabrics and furnishings recalling the warm, muted tones of Africa’s savannahs, with bright splashes of colour paying tribute to the land’s vibrant personality.
All rooms and suites are indulged by the discreet yet attentive services of a dedicated butler, 24-hours a day. Sumptuously appointed oversized baths are complete with rain shower, private water closet and dual vanity.
Those marina rooms are also being touted as the largest hotel rooms in Cape Town. Even better? Each room has "expansive glass doors that lead onto private balconies" for maximum killer view appreciation.

One & Only Palmilla for 30 Percent Off
Welcome to Room Rate Drop Watch where we chronicle the plummeting prices at hotels that once commanded top dollar rates. These are often found in big cities with seemingly more hotel rooms than visitors like Las Vegas. But sometimes you can get lucky in the city of your choice. Seen a room rate drop so low you wanna tell us about it? Do it here.
The other week we asked you all if you were staying in hotels any more as the layoffs increase and the budgets decrease.
Today, someone wrote in that the luxe hotels in places like Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and other luxurious destinations are not decreasing their prices. This is true but these types of hotels are starting to put out some offers. Like this Winter Breaks one from the One & Only Palmilla in San Jose del Cabo.
Stay for a minimum of three nights and receive 30% savings when you book your reservation before November 30, 2008. Complimentary continental breakfast daily and round-trip airport transfers included. Offer valid for stays between November 30 - December 19, 2008
Room rates are going at $650 for an oceanfront room during this period so the deal brings the rate down to $455. Not bad. Of course, it's not great either. We'd like that room rate to come down at least a $100 more, but we'll keep an eye on it.

Conde Nast Readers' Choice Awards :: Tides Riviera Maya and One & Only Win Best Mexican Resort
UPDATE: We got the full details from Jaunted and it turns out One & Only tied with The Tides (heh) for Best Mexican Resort. One & Only also snapped up the Best Atlantic resort category as well. Not quite an Amy Winehouse stash of awards but a respectable Britney Spears MTV Music Awards showing perhaps.
Last night was the Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards and our bro Jaunted did an excellent job twittering the whole awards show. Seriously, he twittered like every major award. Check it out.
Two things of note for hotel geeks: The Tides Riviera Maya won Best Mexican Resort with Kor Hotels Nick Clayton stepping up to accept the award. Additionally, One & Only Resorts, those luxe resorts in lush locales, won a plethora of awards or as Jaunted says:
One&only is the Amy Winehouse of CNT awards. Multiple wins.
We're not quite sure what wins those are but as soon as we find out, we'll bring 'em to you straight away.

Christian Louboutin Making Shoes for One and Only Resorts
The best way to lure fashionistas to your resort? Have a hot shoe designer create an exclusive line of shoes especially for your resort.
It also helps if your resort goes by the name One & Only, further heightening the exclusivity.
The JetSet Girls tell us:
We love that Christian Louboutin, the king of red-sole shoes, is partnering with the luxe One & Only resorts to create a limited collection. (He's rumoured to be a fan of the Maldives resort.)
The shoes...are available at their breathtaking resorts at Mauritius, the Bahamas, Cabo, Dubai and the Maldives.

Eli Manning Gets Hitched at the One & Only Palmilla
Giants quarterback Eli Manning finally got hitched to his longtime girlfriend Abby McGrew over the weekend at the celebrity fave resort, the One & Only Palmilla resort in Mexico. The Daily News reports:
Manning, 27, and McGrew, 24, exchanged vows while standing on a platform in the sand as waves crashed over rocks behind them....
Guests were ferried to the beach in golf carts and were served white wine, Veuve Cliquot champagne and sparkling water by white tuxedoed waiters as they filed into white folding chairs decorated with gold ribbons.
Although it sounds expensive, some guests estimated the whole shebang only cost around $500,000 which is a lot of money in normal-people-land but not for celebs. See? Even celebrities save money in Mexico.
The newlyweds made good use of their stay at the resort aside from getting married there. Eli hit the gym the morning of the wedding and partied in the pool up until two hours before the ceremony. The couple held their rehearsal dinner in the resort's old Spanish Mission Chapel and plan on honeymooning there for the rest of the week.

Google Earth Hotels: One and Only Kanuhara
Ok, so this week we are seriously addicted to Google Earth Maldives flyovers.
Just spotted the One & Only Kanuhura in all its overwater bungalow glory.
These water villas come with large outdoor decks, plasma televisions, and an outdoor shower.
Why would you need giant plasma tvs to ogle during your stay in paradise? It makes paying $8 for a tiny bottle of water at the beach more acceptable. Wait a second, not it doesn't. Free the water One & Only. Your resort is obviously paradise, and you can charge a pretty penny for a week in paradise, so free the water--it aches to be free.
24/7 babysitting is also available at Kanuhura, which means family travelers can rejoice, while couples should not expect the resort to be free of little ones.
After the jump we have included One & Only Kanuhura's official resort map to prove how kick ass we are at finding things on Google Earth. Yeah, it is sad. This Google Earth thing is becoming an addiction.
