Journeys by Robin is an independent travel review site. This site features independent, experience-based reviews of upscale resorts and hotels.

I write from the perspective of a seasoned traveler who values comfort, service, cleanliness, and whether an experience truly justifies its price. I’m not an influencer, and I don’t sell travel services. I share honest, experience-based observations — including what works well and what falls short.

I spent many years in the travel industry and have traveled widely, both professionally and personally. Over time, my interests have shifted toward slower, more intentional travel and toward noticing the details that often matter most but are easy to overlook: how a room feels at night, the consistency of service, the quality of dining across multiple days, and the overall ease of a stay.

This site exists for travelers who want thoughtful reviews rather than hype. I believe upscale travel should feel effortless and worth the investment. When it does, I’ll say so. When it doesn’t, I’ll explain why.

All reviews reflect my personal experience at the time of my visit.
