Miami Photo Fakeout: Oops! Read the fine print before booking at The Four Seasons

July 25, 2010

Ah, to be a guest at The Four Seasons Miami. The carpet is a lovely, subtle beige hue, the curtains are understated and elegant, and the city (and your troubles) are far, far away…

Or so they’d like you to think.

Remember that game you used to play as a kid (and, um, perhaps that game you played yesterday in the back of a celeb gossip rag) where you had to count up all the differences between Picture One and Picture Two? Well, comparing these two photos of The Four Seasons Miami — the image accompanying the description of a Deluxe City View room on their website and our own photo of the same type of room — is sort of fun like that game.

You know what’s probably not so fun? Expecting the room on the left and finding the green carpet and festive curtains you see on the right instead — and then looking out your window to discover the sweeping view of the Miami skyline is, in fact, a breathtaking view of the building next door.

But that’s your fault. You should have read the (ultra) fine-print on the website: “Photographs are an example of room quality only. Some items may have been rearranged or added, and views may differ. Please refer to the written descriptions for specific physical details and views.” Cue sad trumpet sound effect.

Spend A Day Where It’s Unspoiled

April 16, 2010

Hollywood Beach, Florida is still unspoiled. A small beachtown with historic charm rests just 6 miles from Fort Lauderdale Airport, but away from the hustle and bustle of Miami and Fort Lauderdale. One hotel, the Hollywood Beach Marriott, is highly reccommended. 4 Diamond rated, yet casual. Beachfront hotel on a 2.5 mile Broadwalk, for people-watching, strolling, biking, blading, or even rent a Segway and cruise! I was there watching a wedding taking place on the beach

I needed a vacation…and so many places to choose from, so little time, and money is still not growing on trees.
Nestled in Jamaica, I spyed on 3 amazing, unique resorts that offer the all-inclusive packages, so gaining some pounds would not be an issue.

Visit this resort at www.sunsetresortsjamaica.com for a trip that could really make you feel at ease. You might not get your Hilton points, but so what…a break from a chain can lead to a new experience and move you far, far away into paradise.
