Chris and I were able to sneak away for a little romantic getaway to South Beach over thanksgiving weekend. Before you start judging, we didn't fly out until Friday am, sheesh! FYI, thanksgiving was awesome. Had it over at Lisa and Scott's house and it very well may have been the best turkey i've eve had. Deep frying the bird is definitely the way to do it, no doubt.
Anyway, back to south beach.
1) I stayed in the nicest hotel i've ever stayed in, The Setai. Well worth the extra money over the delano, the raleigh, the shore club or the ritz(which we stayed in last time). I mean from the moment we booked online to the moment we left, they exceed my expectations at every turn. To start with, after booking online, they immediately sent us a form asking about possible food restrictions, name of any pets we might be bringing and THEIR possible dietary restrictions! The list went on and on. Upon arriving, they wisped you into their cozy lounge filled with plush sofas and arm chairs. The floor was a mixture of hardwood and what looked to be soap stone. The entire otel has a complete Zen like balanced feel to it. Immediately a personal hotel representative greets you with a a detailed personal portfolio, a nice cold hand towel and some sort of fruity mango/papaya concoction, d-e-e-e-licious! We;re quickly assigned a room key, which is super cool and just requires a simple swipe at your door. Grounds were amazing!! includes 3 swimming pools, each with a 10 degree temperature difference, 75, 85 and 95 degrees. seems like overkill at first, but I assure you, there's a huge difference! Beach service of course with drinks and food. Someone even had an f'in couch brought down to them on the beach! Yes, a rattan sofa! Here are the Miami Pics!
Enough about the Hotel, but we had a great time including sushi at The Townhouse Hotel dinner at Casa Tua (so super cute) and the nightlife included The Redroom (part of skybar) at the shore club, The Rooftop at Townhouse and Club Mansion which was off the hizzy! The Setai got us in VIP and it was absolutely out of this world! Here are some crappy phone pics from that night.
