Never Rely Solely on Hotel Wi-Fi

Even five-star luxury resorts can experience sudden infrastructure failures, especially in remote or island destinations like Bali or Madeira. A dropped connection during a high-stakes executive video call is unacceptable.

Always travel with dual-network redundancy. Install a premium global eSIM on your phone before you land, and carry a dedicated 5G mobile hotspot as a backup. Before booking your stay, ask the hotel concierge to email you a screenshot of a recent internet speed test taken from the actual suite you will be staying in, rather than the lobby network.
