Hey ladies!
We got home this morning at 12am. We were delayed in Miami because of the weather here in NY.
We honestly had an awesome time! I'm at work now and soooooo miserable! I think the most we spelt since Thursday was a total of 5 hours! It was torture waking up this morning and coming to work. My Spanish 2 final was today and I had to do 15 listening comprehension dictations...twice!
I will post a full review with tons of pics when I get home from work this afternoon!!!!!!!
ETA:
We booked our trip through Expedia.com. We got an excellent rate for the hotel and flight. We booked everything together and got an even better rate. We also booked a shuttle that brought us from the airport to the hotel and then to the hotel to the airport. (Super Shuttle booked through Expedia) We got right out of the airport door and the stand for our shuttle was right there. We gave our reservation # to the woman and within 2 minutes the shuttle was there. Our driver was so nice and was actually giving us a tour as we drove to the hotel. He even pointed out celebrity homes and other celebrities who own homes in SB.
We got to The Beacon hotel which is located right on Ocean Dr.... about a half a block from Mangos. The man at the front desk was great he welcomed us and he knew it was my bachelorette party b/c my sil(moh) had shipped a box of goodies to the hotel earlier in the week.
We got to our rooms. They were a decent size....most importantly they were clean and the ac was pumping!
We opened up the box my sil had shipped.
Here is what was inside:
We all got showered and headed to Mangos. It was super packed but they saw we were a Bachelorette party and brought us to the front of the line. The bouncer took me to a separate side...I got in free and he was playing around with me telling me he had to pat me down and search me! LMAO!
It was mostly latin music but it was a lot of fun. They had so many dancers that performed on the bar area every set. Then they had these guys who were super sexy doing a dance and they pulled up random bachelorettes or b-day girls onto the bar to dance with them. My friends arranged for them to pull me up...it was pretty scary! I was sooo embarrassed and was shaking and laughing the whole time. My friend got some great shots of that on her camera. (I'll post those when she gives them to me)
Here are some pics:
My bouncer friend!
Saturday
In the morning we went to breakfast at Johnny rockets right next door to our hotel. (It was included with our stay) We got beach towels from our hotel and we hit the beach. The water was soooo beautiful! We stayed on the beach till about 3. We went back to our rooms rinsed off and went and got lunch and did some shopping on Collins Ave. (They have really nice stores)
Then we went back to 1 of our rooms and just crashed for a little and had some drinks.
At about 7 we showered and got ready for dinner. We ate at our hotel's restaurant in the outdoor section. The food was delicious and we got free mojitos!
Then it was off to Mansion. The line outside was ridiculous! They didn't care that we were 5 girls...they put us on a special line b/c we had vip bracelets but we waited about 30 minutes to get in. There were 2 rooms open one room had like hip hop and the other had techo. We started off in the hip hop room but switched to the techno room and stayed in there till about 4:30.
Sunday
We had to check out by 12pm. So we showered got everything packed and went down stairs. They took our bags and kept them in a room for us until we had to leave for the airport. The guy who helped us was soo nice. We got some breakfast and went to the beach. It was sooo hot and after only about 2 hrs sleep we really couldn't take a lot of sun...we all felt like crap. So we wnet back to the hotel we were able to use the shower in the fitness center. Then we went to Fridays for lunch....came back at about a quarter to 5 and waited for our shuttle.
We were delayed in Miami because of the bad weather and didn't get home till about 1am. My FH surprised me at the airport with my brother which was really sweet.
We had an excellent time and would totally recommend our hotel!
I will post more pics as I get them.
