Lumina

Use this when someone asks a specific question about one hotel (can you swim to the house reef from the beach, how long is the transfer, is there a kids' club, which meals are included, are pets allowed). Returns saved source facts with their statuses, quotes, dates and conditions, or says that the answer is not established. When the saved facts do not answer, it also reads the hotel's own public website now, through a search limited to that site, and returns the passage labelled as read today and not verified by Lumina. Conflicting and partial answers are marked as such. Not for prices or availability.

check_hotel_fact

Use this when the traveller hesitates between 2 to 4 named hotels. Compare only on the criteria of this trip; returns, per hotel and criterion, the verdict and the sentence that proves it.

compare_hotels

Use this to read the full Lumina dossier of a hotel returned by search, to quote and cite it.

fetch

Use this when a traveller describes the stay they want (who travels, why, when, what they need, what they want to avoid) and asks which luxury hotel fits. It takes the trip in the vocabulary below: must_have for what is essential, nice_to_have for what would be welcome. Returns 8 candidates with, for each criterion, the verdict and the verbatim sentence that proves it, guest reviews that mention it, the best matching experience and a photo.

get_review_page

Use this when someone asks which luxury hotel, resort or villa to book for a trip (honeymoon, family, friends), where to stay in a destination Lumina covers, or whether a named hotel suits their trip. Not for flights or booking. Lumina compares every hotel it covers in the destination for this trip with a hotel expert's rules: it excludes those that cannot work and says why, ranks the rest, names the villa type and the units guests recommend, gives the room quotes collected for the month, and lists the risks and the gaps in its sources. When few resorts fit, it may read a resort's own public website now for a must-have it has not established, and labels that passage as read today, not verified by Lumina. It shows the traveller its shortlist in the chat (map, table or cards, by layout), so show_comparison is needed only for other hotels or another layout. The view carries the detail; a short answer covers the pick, its cost with the deciding condition and the trade-off. Criteria: overwater_pool_villa = An overwater villa with its own pool; beach_pool_villa = A beach villa with its own pool; sunset_villa = The villa faces the sunset; calm_water = Calm water under the villa in the travel month; house_reef = A reef you can swim to from the beach; reef_from_water_villa = Reef reachable by swimming from the water villas; adults_only = Adults only (no children on the island); family_friendly = Works for the children's ages (kids club, minimum age); small_island = Small and intimate (50 villas or fewer); all_inclusive = All-inclusive available; speedboat_transfer = Reached by speedboat (no seaplane, arrival after dark possible); short_transfer = Transfer of 45 minutes or less; spa_thermal = Spa with sauna, steam or hammam; mantas = Manta rays reachable in the travel month; whale_sharks = Whale sharks reachable; surf = A surf break nearby; michelin = MICHELIN Keys; great_food = Guests consistently praise the food; quiet = Quiet, calm atmosphere; recent = Opened or fully renovated in the last eight years (modern design)

plan_destination_stay

Use this when someone wants to know one hotel Lumina covers in depth before deciding. Reads its source-backed knowledge: transfers, island, reef, marine access, named rooms and villas, dining and meal plans, wellness, child policies, experiences, offers and guest observations. Without topics it returns every answer in one line (status, the answer, source, date); with topics it returns those answers in full. Each fact carries its source_type, status, quote, dates, conditions and sample limits. Marketing claims and guest reports establish different things. Missing fields are unknown. Use the dated price tool for a specific stay.

get_hotel_dossier

Use this when the traveller gives dates and who travels and asks what a specific hotel or villa costs. Reads saved hotel, seller and named-room price observations for those stay dates and that party. Returns capture times, the original query, currency, separate amount units and unknown inclusions. These are collected references; this tool does not check live availability or book. A hotel calendar minimum or an offer with unknown units is not the price of the chosen villa. Use the hotel's rate page to confirm the selected room, party, meals, taxes and transfer.
