Innovative Company Revolutionizes Condo Hotel Marketplace

Jet Luxury Resorts, one of the few hospitality companies growing within this turbulent market and economic downturn, is fast transforming the condo hotel marketplace through a unique business model and evolution of thought. The premiere national condo hotel management company provides the reservation solution to not only owners but to resorts as well by boosting occupancy rates. Jet Luxury Resorts is able to offer exclusive, luxurious yet affordable inventory to the rental community through honest, lucrative and dedicated service to condo hotel and fractional owners.

A direct reflection of Jet Luxury’s success is the recent addition of five new properties to the Jet Luxury inventory. The St. Regis Aspen, The St. Regis New York, The Buena Vista Luxury Villas in Costa Rica and The Aspen Square Hotel and the Limelight Lodge in Aspen, Colorado are the latest in a growing list of resorts being added to the Jet Luxury repertoire. These notable additions bring not only international exposure but luxurious, five star accommodations to the company’s already illustrious roster. It is also a testament to the future of the trend and to Jet Luxury’s placement therein.

"Jet Luxury Resorts has made a tremendous effort to react to the current hospitality environment,” says Richard Brosal, President of Jet Luxury Resorts. “We have adapted our business model to stay consistent with our core value; maximize revenue potential for owners that are part of the Jet Luxury Resorts Family while providing a truly affordable luxury rental option to the rental community. This win-win solution we believe will make Jet Luxury Resorts a noticeable force in the vacation rental and condo hotel marketplace for years to come.”

To accompany the introduction of the new properties, Jet Luxury Resorts recently produced a television campaign along with 4k digital resolution virtual tours of their newest resorts. The new properties, along with the virtual tours, television campaign and state of the art reservation center, can be found at the updated www.jetluxuryresorts.com website.

A Bright Light Emerges Within the Embattled Condo Hotel Industry

Disgruntled owners and potential renters find solace in new condo-hotel management company.

Condo-hotel owners who originally purchased their units for financial gain only to see their investments sour within the current harsh economic and real estate environment have found a beacon of hope in a new company designed to maximize their rental profits. Jet Luxury Resorts, the premiere national 4 and 5 star condo-hotel management company, has developed an owner centric model that maximizes the earning potential of the given investment property and works solely for the best interests of the owner.

In the past, condo-hotel owners have faced rental programs bogged down by hidden fees and property managers and developers that presented conflicts of interest. Jet Luxury Resorts offers a better solution with a freedom that allows the company to remain competitive within the market and satisfy the owner’s ability to increase their occupancy and rental revenue.

In so doing, Jet Luxury Resorts also provides a tremendous rental option to the travel community.

“We can provide high-end luxury to renters at more affordable prices which previously they could not afford.” States Steve Aylsworth, COO of Jet Luxury Resorts. “This influx of condo-hotel inventory that is individually owned and was appraised at high prices is of tremendous quality. Due to our economy, these units must be rented out at competitive market prices-- making it a win-win for owners and renters.”

Over the past sixteen months, Jet Luxury Resorts has energized the condo-hotel industry. The company brings owners and renters together to work in the owner’s best interests by providing greater income to offset their investment while simultaneously bringing high quality, yet affordable product to the marketplace.

Most Fascinating Places on Earth - Vol 2

Jet Luxury Resorts Weekly Installment Volume Two.

The Lost City of Uyuni, Bolivia

Over 3,000 feet above sea level sits an abandoned city that once dreamt of becoming a major railroad hub and terminal station—only to now whiter and rust away as construction on the project stopped in the late 19th century.

Now, all that remains are these rotting metal carcasses – dinosaurs of a fading Industrial age. There are literally hundreds of them spread about one of the flattest plains in the world, making for nothing less than the eeriest of noises as an unchained wind shrieks through them.

Today the town's primary function is as a gateway for tourists visiting the world's largest salt flats - the Salar de Uyuni. There is little agriculture in the area, because water supplies are scarce and somewhat saline.

Elton’s Red Piano Going Black

What better fit than Elton John and Las Vegas? So good, in fact, that a tryst that was supposed to last only 75 performances has been stretched into solid union of 241 shows. And if you have yet to experience Elton John’s Red Piano show at Caesars, time is running out.

"Caesars Palace has been honored for the past five years to host one of the world's most beloved performers, Elton John," resort president Gary Selesner said.

"Caesars Palace has a long history of memorable entertainment, and Elton John is an icon in the music industry, with international stature as not only a performer but also a gifted songwriter. We are grateful to Elton and his talented band for bringing so many memorable performances to Caesars Palace."

Indeed, Elton’s history, hits and flair all seemed a perfect fit for the salacious City of Neon, but alas, all good things must come to an end.

Remaining performances are selling out fast. Click here to reserve yours for the final run of the show, due to go dark on April 22nd.

Most Fascinating Places on Earth- Vol 1

Jet Luxury Resorts Weekly Installment Volume One.

Socotra Island
One of the most bizarre looking places on Earth, Socotra Island is truly a sight to behold. Situated in the Indian Ocean (just off the coasts of Somalia and Yemen) this is truly a land from another time. Home to more than 800 species of plants, it’s the Galapagos of the Middle East and also happens to be the largest island found in the region.

Despite having over 40,000 inhabitants, the Yemeni Government just put in the first road only 2 years ago. And don't look for any high end resorts as the island is geared very much towards eco tourism. But make the trip and you will experience incredible plants that are over 20 million years old, a walled city, plenty of whales and dolphins, some of the rarest birds in the world and of course, picturesque, sandy, (and desolate) beaches. Leave planet Earth without ever leaving, well, planet Earth.

Top 10 Things to Do in Costa Rica:

Although it’s a relatively short plane ride, Costa Rica is a world of wonder away. Known for its crystal clear sea, pristine beaches, killer coffee and amazing nightlife, Costa Rica also boasts some of the most jaw dropping natural wonders in the world.

Here’s a top ten list of the best of the best; places truly worth exploring.

1. Papagayo
A newly expanding area on the north coast of Costa Rica, Papagayo is a nature lover’s paradise, where lush rainforest literally crashes into the crystal blue sea. Beyond a few all-inclusive resorts, this area is pure, untamed wilderness.

2. Monteverde Cloud Forest
Hard to get to, but hey, it’s a cloud forest! Shouldn’t cloud forests be difficult to navigate?

3. Arenal Volcano
Costa Rica’s most active volcano- A fascinating site to behold and, as added bonus, the area about it hosts hundreds of delightful, natural hot springs.

4. Tamarindo Beach
A funky, but bustling surfer beach and town. Far from touristy and worth every second of acclimating culture.

5. Montezuma
Like Tamarindo, this is far from the touristy, crowded beaches; in fact, hit this one up for some much needed ‘me time.’

6. Canopy Tours
Take advantage of the lush rainforests by zip lining across the top of them. This is really a once in a lifetime opportunity for enthusiasts, it’s Tarzan times ten.

7. Whitewater Rafting
As you might expect in a country that rises from sea level to 12,000 feet and then back again, you’re going to get a lot of whitewater rapids to descend. There’s trips for every level, including class 6.

8. Rain Forest Aerial Tram
Just an hour from San Jose, this is a must see for all ages. A gentle tram that skims the top of the ever-aspiring forest.

9. Manuel Antonio
Manuel Antonio has plenty of pristine white beaches but it also has a forest filled with a variety of monkeys and is stocked flush with wildlife. It’s located on the top of a hill in the Pacific Ocean near Quepos. If you like monkeys, you’ll like Manuel Antonio.

10. Zoo Avenue
On one side of the walk are injured animals that have been taken in, on the other side is a bird lover’s paradise. Costa Rica is known for its colorful variety of birds and one gets to view them all here. See colorful macaws, toucans and hungry raptors.

Wellness Sky

If you're ever traveling to Belgrade, Serbia, be sure to get a workout in here. This building is the "Danube Flower" and it began its life way back in the early 1970's as a Russian Communist outpost only to later lay abused and abandoned during the country's civil war of the 1990's.

Just recently, it's been fully renovated and turned into a state of the art fitness center.

Amazing facts: The space sits fifteen feet above the river and walkway below, a glass sandwich really between the towering concrete top and bottom. The entire building is based on 7.3 meter triangles and at its heart, boasts a ceiling consisting of 390 backlit panels that bounce the sun's rays off a highly reflective resin floor and emanate the space with light.
