The Karma Membership Project

We bought the membership. Now we are putting it to the test.

We felt regret after joining Karma, but we also saw a chance to venture beyond the places we would usually choose and share what we learn. We are documenting the costs, booking process, service and, as we complete stays, the resorts. Our early Bali experience included courteous staff and delivered perks. We want to find out whether the membership helps us take trips we value.

For Dani and me, this is part of a lifelong project: pursuing our love of travel and learning about other parts of the world. Follow along as we explore, ask questions and share the experience honestly.

Does the property confirm pets are welcome for your dates?
