Oahu 2021

May 2021

We decided to take advantage of the new nonstop flight to Honolulu from SNA and spend a few days in Waikiki.

We stayed at the Aston Waikiki Beach Tower in a two bedroom unit with a spectacular view!! It’s actually across the street from the beach but there are no buildings on the beach in front of the hotel. They don’t have the full service resort amenities but there is a pool and gym and right in the middle of everything so food, restaurants and entertainment everywhere.

Brunch at the Ritz Carlton was delicious. They have an outdoor area with restaurants and pool, cabanas halfway up. They are set back in the city, so not on the beach, but still have nice views of the water.

Dinner and drinks at Dukes is obligatory in Waikiki. We had cocktails at the Voyager 47 Club in the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort. They have the perfect location and best views on Waikiki Beach. Dukes is always a fun place, great music on the beach, tiki touches, ambiance and good food.

After a drive around Oahu, we ended up at Aulani, A Disney Resort in Ko Olina. It’s a beautiful family resort.

Good bye Aston Waikiki Beach and on to our next stop, The Beachcomber!

The Reef is towards the end of the beach so it’s in a small sliver but has great views! It is almost done with its renovation and looks amazing!

Le Blanc Resort & Spa Los Cabos

March 2022

I LOVE Le Blanc! My last visit was only for one day and I fell in love. So excited that I will be able to spend some time here again.

Meeting our group for cocktails at Blanc Fire and watching the sunset 🌅

Good morning Cabo! A Lebanese breakfast was a great way to start the day. After a morning in the conference room, a pool day was just what I wanted.

There are so many options for lunch and snacks while at the pool, you don’t have to leave your lounge!

We had an AMAZING dinner at Lumiere, the French restaurant here at Le Blanc. We had an amazing dinner in the private dining room with exceptional service. I also love how beautiful the resorts looks at night!

I love the Butler service, there are so many things that they do, that you think you don’t need but really appreciate! I love ordering a bath before I come back and the room is turned down with everything you need – bubble bath ready with salts and soaps that you choose, water on the night table, slippers by the bed, relaxing lighting. Everything you need for a great night sleep.

Sunrise was beautiful and decided to have breakfast in my room this morning.

Work day

Le Blanc us known for its spa, they have a hydrotherapy circuit that is complimentary to resort guests. You can go every day and don’t need to have a service. But you will want a service, the massage is wonderful.

Blanc Ocean is the perfect spot for Al fresco dining and seafood with a Mexican twist.

Afternoon at pool with Margaritas on another gorgeous Cabo day.

My final morning started with a walk on the beach and the hopes to come back soon!

Melia Cabo

November 2021

Melia has two properties in Cabo, the ME Hotel right on Medano Beach and the Paradisus Resort in the corridor. Both are very different, ME being more of a party resort on the beach right in the middle of town and Paradisus is much larger, all inclusive and a resort with so many amenities that you don’t need to leave.

Here are some pictures of ME Cabo right on Medano Beach in the center of everything.

The corridor area is between the downtown and the airport. There are so many hotels along the coast, especially all inclusive resorts. The Paradisus is the other Melia brand that is great for families. It’s so different from ME, it’s much larger, all inclusive and has a bunch of restaurants and bars.

Sandals Royal Plantation

September 2021

Sandals Royal Plantation is an all suite and all Butler boutique resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Set on a cliff, the views from every level down to the beach are gorgeous.

The entrance is so stately and Old World, I love it.

The lobby is just as elegant.

The property is small and beautiful, so easy to navigate. The views are beautiful in all directions looking over the sparkling sea. I love the contrast of the pink umbrellas and blue water.

The Spa and Gym above and then some pictures of the different rooms in the resort.

The game room and some areas to relax and look out over the beautiful grounds.

From the pool perched on the edge of the cliff down through the gardens to the beach, the resort is verdant and lush, a true tropical paradise. There is a casual beachside restaurant and bar right on the sand. In the evenings it is a gourmet restaurant on the water.

The beach is very nice, water sports available and plenty of places to relax with a book too.

The is the perfect resort for honeymooners or those that enjoy a more relaxed experience and boutique atmosphere. Every room having a Butler is another perk and the food and service are excellent. Sandals Royal Plantation is a favorite 💜
