The Guestbook recently debuted its instant cash back hotel booking rewards program, the first of its kind in the industry. Users will receive 5 percent cash back on hotel rates at more than 300 global hotels, with additional 5 percent cash back on restaurant and spa purchases at participating properties. Enrollment is free and members can choose to either book their stay from The Guestbook or an individual property’s site.
Redeeming cash back is easy, with options ranging from PayPal deposits to gift cards for popular retailers such as Target and Apple. The Guestbook also allows users to double up on points and rewards by allowing members to use their rewards program in conjunction with any other similar program.
James Gancos, founder, The Guestbook, stated, “Today’s business and leisure travelers want the best rates plus stay personalization, but that’s not possible by booking directly through online travel sites. With The Guestbook, we’re reconnecting the traveler and the hotel through an instant gratification booking and rewards program that enhances the guest experience and drives loyalty.”
Hotel participants of the program include independent and boutique properties in popular travel destinations in the United States and Europe. All new enrollees are now receiving a bonus reward of $25 on their first holiday season booking.

Oct 28, 2026Review: Caribe Royale Orlando
It’s truly its own universe: Caribe Royale Orlando is a sprawling property beckoning you forward with its coral pink exterior spanning many towers and buildings. The two-level lobby alone feels more like a community than a hotel lobby, with a Starbucks; access to the signature restaurant (in the midst of renovations), sports bar and gift shop; and a plethora of seating options. The bilevel layout also makes the entire space seem larger, opening up to the massive pool awaiting just behind the back doors.

Oct 23, 2026The Flight Less Taken: Unsung Carriers Whisk You Away to Far-Flung Destinations
The miracle of flight feels slightly less miraculous these days. Endless delays, cramped seating and shortchanged amenities feel par for the course, and one can easily forget the wondrous fact that you’re hurtling above planet Earth, soaring above the clouds and across the skies to your destination of choice. In the olden days, you were limited to the fallibility of your outrigger canoe or horse-drawn carriage. It’s not hyperbolic to invoke the invention of the wheel when reminding oneself to stay calm and carry on in coach.
