Last week I was lucky enough to stay at the beautiful Marriott Stanton South Beach and boy was it amazing! Today I’m sharing 5 ways on how I maximized my stay!
1. Room with a View
There’s nothing better than waking up to the view of the ocean! Even better, when you can sit on you balcony in the morning and enjoy a cup of coffee, while enjoying the sound and the view of the ocean! My thought is always go for the room with a view, if you are here for vacation why not have the room you really want, nothing beats waking up to this view!
2. Concierge
Take advantage of stopping by the concierge desk! They will recommend the best sites and entertainment in the area! Also they always have great recommendations for dinner and transportation!
3. Room Service
You know those mornings when you wake up and wish you could have breakfast in bed… Well thats the great thing about hotels! Hotels usually have amazing room service menus for you to order from! So during your stay, enjoy breakfast in bed or a delicious dessert!
4. Hotel Amenities- Beach, Pool & Spa
You’re on vacation, right? So make your hotel stay like it and spend a day the water! Hotels have beach chairs and umbrellas to relax in when you’re down at the beach! Also, I highly recommend taking a trip to the hotel spa, if there is one!
5. Hotel Happy Hour
Happy hour drinks, yes please! Take full advantage of a hotel’s happy hour and visit the bar! There’s nothing better than enjoying a cold drink by the pool or with friends! Remember, you’re on vacation! Have a drink or a few! Here at Deco Blue they had tispysicles, champagne popsicles…need I say more!
Great post!! Makes me want to start planning my next beach vacation soon. XO, Nicole // http://www.empirestyles.com

Whenever I’m in a hotel alone I pamper myself and order room service. A night in with a bubble bath, room service and comfy hotel bed really is a luxury!
Such a pretty hotel! Looks like a fun place to stay!
