KL hotels are also excellent and cheap.

Specifically the Taj and Oberoi hotels in India are what I'm familiar with, and they are truly another level from anything I've experienced in the U.S. - with the caveat that I don't ever stay at places like Aman resorts.

BUT Asia's where it's at for hotel deals. Alas the islands are way too $$ now. Flying to Japan and Hawaii is really cheap right now though. I'm planning Asia summer family trip and was tempted![]()
You can also try LatAm and Costa Rica. Just can't be island paradises!
I was surprised at how NOT cheap Costa Rica is.
